The Facts of Life was a popular U.S. sitcom that originally aired on NBC from August 24, 1979, to May 7, 1988, and then the reruns continued in syndication probably well into the late 1990s so for those of us in our thirties, it was an afterschool ritual, though younger readers may have never heard of it. I was reminded of the show because Alan Thicke just died (RIP) and he wrote the shows memorable theme song. The show launched the career of 80s teen star Molly Ringwald and even George Clooney.
The show was about a bunch of girls attending a New York boarding school under the protective care of loveable den mother Mrs Garrett (Charlotte Rae). The show is a throwback to a more innocent period in American life, and a simpler time, when no problem was too big to be solved by a cup of hot chocolate and a few wise words from Mrs Garrett.
It’s been decades since I’ve seen an episode, but there was one episode I could never forget. The one where the girls at the school discover their childhood IQ scores and all the harm it does to their relationships and self-esteem. And as usual the wise den mother Mrs Garret to the rescue.
If you have half an hour to kill, I recommend you enjoy this funny, innocent, wholesome bit of 70s television. You’ll be glad you did:
Pumpkin Person 
Facts of Life was a spin-off of Different Strokes, which I recall had an episode where they try to prove that IQ tests are culturally biased against poor kids. There’s a question on a test that Gary Coleman took that asks something along the lines of, “how many kids can fit into 4 beds?” Or something like that. I can’t remember the exact question.
Gary Coleman responded to the question based on his previous life experiences, where multiple kids share the same bed or sleep on the floor. So, his answer ends up being totally different than the correct answer. The point being that the question is supposedly unfair to someone from Coleman’s background.
Of course, the joke obfuscates the fact that modern IQ tests don’t rely on culturally-biased knowledge like this, nor are the questions so ambiguous. But the audience laughs it up anyhow. I wonder if that episode is on the Internet somewhere.
The episode of Different Strokes you describe sounds familiar. There were a few items on the WISC-R that seemed obviously culturally biased, though blacks tended to do worst on the more culture fair looking items. Once Wechsler died they were finally able to remove the more culturally biased appearing items that Wechsler had an emotional attachment to.
I think this is most of the episode:
Sad to see the decline in tv. Today all these girls would be sexualised for the jew paedophile producers and have black boyfriends to send ‘the message’ of opening one’s legs for dieversity.
Despicable.
You have high IQ shows like The Wire, House of Cards and so on giving medium IQ people solace in their Zionist brainwashing.
And then really comically low IQ reality tv, variety shows and trainwreck or adhd tv.
Nothing in between hammering home solid middle class values like this. Note the various revivals of the twilight zone – first intellectual (60s), then homespun wisdom (80s) and in the early noughties about macabre and emotional jerkery.
This indicates that the American population bifurcated in the early 2000s. Or maybe more accurately the Jews really started seizing control of tv scheduling in the early 2000s.
Its also a consequence of Bill Clinton deregulating media. What a fucking cuck.
But the Wire, West Wing, Breaking Bad were great in terms of storytelling, plot complexity and character density. This is why I relate the point again, that I disagree with the mission of the art but not the form and mode which is very high standard.
(Breaking bad having hillbillies as the final bad guys was retarded.) And of course, even when Magic Negroes are serial killers, they’re portrayed as cool.
THANKS OBAMA.
That’s an observation I made some years ago back when I was in high school. It seems like all TV shows are either extremely high-quality and aimed at SWPLs (cable shows like the Wire, Breaking Bad, Mad Men, Game of Thrones) or extremely shitty and aimed at proles (pretty much all reality TV, some of the network TV sitcoms like Modern Family). There’s absolutely no in-between shows aimed at middle-class families
It reflects the income distribution of America maybe. I dunno. Its another Phd topic worth doing.
My most embarrassing guilty pleasure is having its season finale tonight: Empire, a hip-hop opera show about a music mogul and his criminal family. It’s one of the new crop of shows aimed at black audiences, most of which suck. However, Empire is filthy, ghetto, and debased, but…..really entertaining also!
There are shows like In the Middle and the Goldbergs, and a few other family oriented shows aimed at other ethnic groups. None of them are that funny to me.
I remember writing a long time ago in a blog I had that culture imitates economics. So the late 19th C had a lot of the Brideshead Revisited/Pride and Prejudice period stuff about the aristocracy. And Wilde’s witticisms about social mores of the elite.
What was revolutionary about American culture was that it was the first time the petit bourgeois or middle class came to dominate culture.
I’m sure back the late 19C you’d have the same lowbrow entertainment for proles…cock fighting, freak shows, circuses and other stuff.
America’s class distinctions died a long time ago. It’s money or no money that defines the nation. America is now a large business conglomerate, a big shopping mall or a big company if you will. Canadians who wish to acquire more money and enjoy a highly consumerist lifestyle that comes with it, usually immigrate to the United States.
Bookstores in French Canada close at 7 pm at best. NYC’s bookshops remain open as late as possible, some closing almost at 12 midnight, 7 days a week.
tv and movies have always been garbage for garbage.
best show on tv is Mike Tyson Mysteries.
Brideshead was written about the fall of the aristocracy. it was written in the 30s. the 11h made for tv movie from 1981 is the last time the bbc could do drama. it follows the book exactly.
God, could you be any more of a cuck?
The show would have been better of making the point that IQ is irrelevant for women.
And I mean that sincerely in terms of them enjoying their lives, not making money.
Women instinctively know they must be good looking. Because its the men that need to bring the meat to the cave and beat out competition and adversaries.
Most women are happy to follow the leader. Serve a real man. And raise good kids and socialise. Not all women. But most. Feminism is a poison concocted by angry masculine lesbians that leads to so much unhappiness.
Its worse victims are men who believe in the gunk.
THANKS OBAMA
Bro hit the nail right on the head
I read this in high school when I was 18.
I have read all 7 Foundation books in high school.
>ethics
Prove that ethics exists.
There is an innate sense of right and wrong genetically built into people. People sometimes disagree on what is right or wrong but is is an objective fact that most people act of what they believe.
Asimov is indeed a forgotten Jew. He’s of no use to the tribe, because he isn’t a Chomsky Charlatan, just a sci-fi writer with a STEM background.
Wow, illuminatcatblog, I thought you were much younger than 18.
Lol why do you say that.
I was Born in 1987.
I was homeschooled until I was 9. When I took the Terranova I did not know what to do and was very upset. I was put into 2nd-grade class.
I was in a magnet middle school and did the science fair in 6th 7th and 8th grade.
In Highschool I did the New Mexico Supercomputing Challenge.
I graduated Highschool in 2007.
Alright, you wrote a comment about becoming friends with computers, being alone all the time, your mama not understanding you had dystonia. You posted some silly nightcore music, you’re in love with kitten and anime pictures. So I told my self “grow up boy”. No offence, it’s just that people sometimes give an image of themselves that is interpreted in a certain way by people from different cultures and social backgrounds.
afrosapiens gave me herpes.
Lol, racism and sexism are out of control on this blog but all you find to complain about is “classism” or me being a little tough on a guy that’s a little too emotional. I feel a little embarrassed being so straightforward with illuminatcat because he’s pure like someone said before, he’s like not santoculto who’s the personification of evil and perversity.
But I think fragile guys need to be shaken up sometimes.I’m a charitable guy, I’ve seen real distress, people having real meals only once a week, sleeping outdoors, losing children, only things like that get my empathy. Otherwise, be a man, manage your feelings and conceal your emotions, your bitching is an insult to the millions of real misérables of this world.
not racism, francophobia.
Je me rends!
dave chapelle once said he thought he was being mistreated in france because he was black. he was told, “we don’t hate you because you’re black. we hate you because you’re an american.” chapelle said, “finally someone hates me for the right reason.”
You know, if Gérard Depardieu is France’s biggest sex symbol, well.. I’m beginning to understand that Jerry Lewis thing just a little more.
Yesterday, French actor Gerard Depardieu got drunk on a flight and stood and peed on the cabin floor. A spokesperson for Air France said it was the fourth rudest thing someone did on that flight.
…in France if you’re part of the intellectual elite and you cough, there’s a front-page story in Le Monde. That’s one of the reasons why French intellectual culture is so farcical – it’s like Hollywood.
on faurisson: I will have some harsh (but merited) things to say about
certain segments of the French intelligentsia, who have
demonstrated that they have not the slightest concern for fact or
reason, as I have learned from unpleasant personal experience
that I will not review here.
“not racism, francophobia.”
Oh well, I didn’t know being called an ape, shitskin, half-human, negro, subhuman and the likes was francophobia. Thanks for clarifying.
““we don’t hate you because you’re black. we hate you because you’re an american.” chapelle said, “finally someone hates me for the right reason.””
Good one! I have no issues with Americans though.
“You know, if Gérard Depardieu is France’s biggest sex symbol”
Can’t believe it, people here unanimously find him gross.
“the full quenelle!”
Are you a fan of Dieudonné ?
Dieudonné is hilarious.
He used to be, but now he’s anything but hilarious in my opinion.
afro said on lindsay’s blog he’d been “engineered” for success/achievement/or something like that.
i know his parents could afford to send him to the best schools and everything else. i wonder if he means his parents were tiger moms. does afro have two tiger moms? that would explain the adoption.
i’m interested, because most HBDers maintain that parents can’t do anything to affect their child’s IQ.
“i’m interested, because most HBDers maintain that parents can’t do anything to affect their child’s IQ.”
I’ve had a private educator until age 6 when I entered primary school. It was public school, in a good neighborhood but public school still, teachers couldn’t understand why I was bored and disruptive, my parents insisted that I needed to skip a grade so I went to see a psychologist who diagnosed intellectual precocity. But since I was a tiny kid and I was often immature, my parents thought I needed to toughen and grow up faster so I did middle school at a military academy.Then I went to the catholic high school where my family traditionally send their kids, I had become a tough massive dude by then.
Yes I have been engineered for success, like everybody around me. My parents weren’t tiger parents, I’ve learnt self-discipline and failure would have been very shameful given what older relatives have achieved, I couldn’t imagine being the only one who went wrong. But my parents taught me stoicism, good manners, charity, philosophy… I never felt oppressed.
There really isn’t that much racism/sexism here. Pumpkin purposely moderates comments for overly derogatory and demeaning material. He only lets Mugabe and the Philosopher through because they generally have a positive signal-noise/bullshit ratio.
To me, real racism is garbage like Stormfront and the VNN forums. This blog is child’s play in comparison.
Most people can post here freely but once in a blue moon I’ll redact super offensive comments, though given the sheer volume of comments, it’s hard to even read them all.
Afrosapiens seems homophobic to me. Stop being discriminatory!
Aside from his HBD denial, Afrosapiens is very right-wing.
“To me, real racism is garbage like Stormfront and the VNN forums. This blog is child’s play in comparison”
I browse those sites sometimes. The amount of misinformation is staggering.
Aside from his HBD denial, Afrosapiens is very right-wing.
Yep, I’ve noticed that.
Well the speciecism on this blog by certain commentators against people of sasquatchian descent or UFO refugees is breathtaking.
“Most people can post here freely but once in a blue moon I’ll redact super offensive comments, though given the sheer volume of comments, it’s hard to even read them all.”
You only censor insults that are directed to you.
“Afrosapiens seems homophobic to me. Stop being discriminatory!”
I think homosexuality is a deviance, like pedophilia and zoophilia. But santoculto could be the worst fag in the world and I wouldn’t mind if he was respectful.
“Aside from his HBD denial, Afrosapiens is very right-wing.”
Funny, from the guy who worships money and the rich, who dedicates posts to explaining how billionaires are so smart, so genetically superior… Lol.
In fact, even my father who’s a lawyer that specializes in human rights and has had high profile political refugees as clients gets annoyed with some of my SJW opinions.
“There really isn’t that much racism/sexism here.”
It’s way too rampant here for me to take any remark about “classism” or “homophobia” seriously.
Funny, from the guy who worships money and the rich, who dedicates posts to explaining how billionaires are so smart, so genetically superior… Lol.
You’re confusing scientific judgement with political opinion. I do think the poor and powerless are genetically less intelligent (and less genetically sociopathic) than the rich and powerful on average, but that’s just a scientific conclusion that will be proven right or wrong. I would never advocate people be denied their civil rights because they belonged to a potentially less intelligent race or economic class.
You on the other hand are POLITICALLY RIGHT-WING. You support ripping poor and powerless Palestinians out of their homes to make room for a colonizing race, that has more money, power, and influence per capita than any race on Earth.
You’re an EXTREME right-winger!
“I think homosexuality is a deviance, like pedophilia and zoophilia.”
I agree.
I enjoy your input by the way. It’s nice to have alternate views here.
peepee is just angry because you’re not marrying a black lady.
peepee is just angry because you’re not marrying a black lady.
Oh don’t even get me started on that
SJW logic dictates that if one hasn’t slept with a Sasquatch. That makes one a bigot against Sasquatches. This same principle also applies for UFOs, Yetis, Robots, Werewolves and Loch Ness Monsters.
I think it’s important for intelligent anti-HBDers to exist, because they force HBDers to tighten up their arguments in the face of scrutiny. The most intelligent anti-HBDer in the history of this blog (even more intelligent than Afrosapiens) was Swanknasty. I wondered what happened to him.
Of course, Mugabe/Jorge Videla also offers anti-HBD insights, but he simultaneously accepts some of the major tenets of online HBD (importance of IQ tests, EGI (which I actually happen to reject), racial differences in performance, etc.).
I don’t hate the anti-HBDers, when they’re smart.
“that has more money, power, and influence per capita than any race on Earth.”
While being .2 percent of the world population (I think that’s the right number). Seems fishy….. COHENcidence!?
ruhkukah,
“The most intelligent anti-HBDer in the history of this blog (even more intelligent than Afrosapiens) was Swanknasty. I wondered what happened to him.”
I think Afrosapiens is smarter.

To be brutally honest, I have never slept with a Sasquatch….
But I’m not speciecist!! No really!!!!
I have many sasquatch friends so don’t hurt me Zion. Please. And also UFO friends. And I volunteer sometimes with troubled inner forest youth all the time.
I’m very tolerant and open to all Jews controlling people’s minds. Not just some jews.

“Why is that on kids shows…what the hell is that?!”
“You’re confusing scientific judgement with political opinion.”
Your judgement has nothing scientific, you’re one of the less rigorous HBD blogger when it comes to backing your theories with diversified scientific sources.
“You on the other hand are POLITICALLY RIGHT-WING. You support ripping poor and powerless Palestinians out of their homes to make room for a colonizing race, that has more money, power, and influence per capita than any race on Earth.”
So you define people’s political positioning only on their opinions about the Israeli-Arab question. You should first acknowledge that in France, pro-zionism is a position shared by right wing and left wing moderates, that Marine Le Pen, as well as other extremists from the right and the left are virulently anti-zionist and antisemitic. I think Israel has a right to exist in peace, it doesn’t mean I support all of its policies. Actually, Israel was created with the intent to organize her society with far-left ideals like Kibbutzim, it would have been a socialist paradise if not under the threat of the Arabs. On the other hand, it’s over simplistic to treat the Arabs as poor innocent victims, they did much to worsen the situation.
“I enjoy your input by the way. It’s nice to have alternate views here.”
Thank you.
“because they force HBDers to tighten up their arguments in the face of scrutiny.”
That yields poor results, and you are talking like an ideologue, that’s exactly how they proceed in political parties and advocacy groups.
“You’re confusing scientific judgement with political opinion.”
Your judgement has nothing scientific, you’re one of the less rigorous HBD blogger when it comes to backing your theories with diversified scientific sources.
You’re not a scientist so you wouldn’t know, but regardless, HBD is just how I partly EXPLAIN social inequalities, but unlike you I don’t ENDORSE social inequality.
“You on the other hand are POLITICALLY RIGHT-WING. You support ripping poor and powerless Palestinians out of their homes to make room for a colonizing race, that has more money, power, and influence per capita than any race on Earth.”

No, but if you accept apartheid in any region of the World, then I can safely dismiss you as an extreme right-winger.
You should first acknowledge that in France, pro-zionism is a position shared by right wing and left wing moderates,
Because of higher levels of IQ and ethnic networking found in Ashkenazi populations, they have great wealth and power in many societies including France, so politicians must placate them.
that Marine Le Pen, as well as other extremists from the right and the left are virulently anti-zionist and antisemitic.
Yes anti-Semitism is common on the extremes of both the left and right. Jews are sometimes disliked by the far-right for pursuing right-wing policies in Israel while pursuing left-wing policies in the West, however many on the far-right WORSHIP Israel for religious reasons and because Israel is so tough on their Arab/Muslim neighbours.
On the other hand, it’s over simplistic to treat the Arabs as poor innocent victims, they did much to worsen the situation.
Their land was taken away from them by force. How were they not victims? Oppressed peoples often react badly to being oppressed because they lack the resources to fight back in more sophisticated ways, and then that very bad behavior is used as propaganda to oppress them more. The same thing has happened to blacks in the United States. They’re sent to jail, and the next generation grows up without father figures and resorts to gang violence. That gang violence is then used to justify sending even more to jail, and the cycle continues.
“Aside from his HBD denial, Afrosapiens is very right-wing.”
He’s even more angry that my fiancée’s a Jew, which according to him means I’m attracted to money and power. He can’t separate interpersonal relationships and global social dynamics, no wonder why he’s still not married in his thirties.

LOL! I just think it’s incredibly ironic that someone so committed to debunking HBD & arguing blacks are just as equal as other races, can’t find a black woman worthy of marriage and has chosen a woman from the top of the HBD hierarchy.
“pro-zionism is a position shared by right wing and left wing moderates”
Substitute ‘moderates’ with the phrase ‘craven cuckolds bribed with offshore accounts and/or blackmailed with sex tapes of them in hotel rooms with mistresses/hookers/children’.
ZION ALWAYS VINS
What’s the difference between Chuck Schumer, David Cameron, Tony Blair, Angela Merkel, Blackmailed Hollande, Claude Juncker, and George Bush and Francois Fillon
(a) The all want open borders to create a third world meat market bazaar
(b) They all want never ending war on Israel’s enemies list using white men and white money
(c) They don’t understand economics
(d) They are human beings with different names
Choose 1 answer for 5 marks and a postcard from Jerusalem.
“and has chosen a woman from the top of the HBD hierarchy.”
Iirc pp, Afrosapiens said his woman is Sephardic. Aka not ashkenazi.
Iirc pp, Afrosapiens said his woman is Sephardic. Aka not ashkenazi.
She’s still Jewish. Although Cochran argues that only Ashkenazi Jews evolved to have high IQs, Charles Murray believes selection for high Jewish IQ predated the migration to Europe.
d is the odd one out so d
(d) They are human beings with different names
your making this way to easy 🙂
“LOL! I just think it’s incredibly ironic that someone so committed to debunking HBD & arguing blacks are just as equal as other races, can’t find a black woman worthy of marriage and has chosen a woman from the top of the HBD hierarchy.”
Nothing ironic, I fell in love with a girl and that has nothing to do with her ethnic background. There is no pressure to marry in the same race in France. But more importantly, I was too young to think about marriage in my past relationship. Now I have a house, a job and a perfect girl, so everything is here to start a family.
“Iirc pp, Afrosapiens said his woman is Sephardic. Aka not ashkenazi.”
That’s not even the point, PP wants me to be with a black girl because he confuses equalitarianism and suprematism. So according to him, saying blacks are equal to other races means I have to be loyal to my color when it comes to love relationships.
It seems that PP doesn’t understand what love is, nor what marriage is about. Following his logic I should have married my Ivoirian girlfriend I had when I was 18.

I understand exactly what love is but the reality is you look ridiculous pushing anti-HBD social justice while practicing extreme racial hypergamy. Had Obama married a non-black woman, he never would have won the black vote. You can say love is blind and you just followed your heart, but statistically we know black men with money and status are at a much higher risk for marrying non-blacks and it’s a major problem in the black community. The fact that Obama bucked that trend and married not only a black woman, but a black looking black woman, won him the respect of millions.
“Following his logic”
He doesn’t know how to structure logical arguments. Meaning, getting out the fluff and putting your premises and conclusions. Basic propositional and syllogistic logic is extremely useful.
He doesn’t know how to structure logical arguments.
No you’re just incapable of understanding logic unless it follows a rigid script, as others here have noted.
Rigid script? There’s a way debates work.
Arguments have premises, inferences and then the conclusion.
An argument is a group of propositions. Propositions have truth value. Only two truth values, true and false. We make the assumption that either every proposition is true or false even though we don’t know which it is.
Premises: premises supports or gives evidence in support of the conclusion.
Valid does not mean true; invalid does not mean false. True and false only apply to propositions. Valid and invalid apply to arguments.
One premise and one conclusion. Is a valid argument because if the first sentence is true the second is definitely true. It’s a valid argument that contains a false premise, valid does not mean true. An argument can be valid and contain nothing but false premises.
This a valid argument.
I am on planet Earth.
I am in Boston, Mass.
This an invalid argument.
I am in Santa Fe.
I am on planet Earth.
Valid argument– The premise and conclusion are true. When you have a valid argument and that argument has true premises than that argument is sound. Sound means valid plus true premises.
1) It is always morally wrong to intentionally kill an innocent person
2) Human fetuses are innocent persons.
3) Abortion always involves intentionally killing an innocent person.
4) Conclusion: Abortion is always morally wrong.
If you can make the case that either premise is false then it is not sound.
1) If it rains, the game will be cancelled.
2) It is raining.
3) The game will be cancelled.
This argument has a pattern
.
If A, then B.
A. It is raining.
B. Game will be cancelled.
If A is true then B is true. We can put any proposition we want for A and any other for B and we will always get a valid argument, it may not always be sound but it will always be valid.
———
This is how argumentation works, PP. You’re saying I need a ‘rigid script’, when I’m showing you exactly how this works. Throwing facts out isn’t argumentation, they’re just assertions. Logically structuring arguments is how debates work. If …… then …… therefore …..
Logically structuring arguments is how debates work. If …… then …… therefore …..
But other people are able to infer the ifs, thens, and therefores; it’s only you who needs us to write like robots to understand the arguments people make.
“But other people are able to infer the ifs, thens, and therefores; it’s only you who needs us to write like robots to understand the arguments people make.”
It’s not about ‘writing like robots’. Search “introduction to logic” in Google, read a few links, and get back to me. Academic papers structure arguments like that, must be robots huh?
“look ridiculous pushing anti-HBD social justice while practicing extreme racial hypergamy.”
Whatever! I exclusively date in my social milieu for some reasons that you might easily understand. My social milieu is diverse but blacks are in the minority, so the odds that I meet a larger number of non-blacks. If I had to wait for a girl that is from my social background, that is black and has everything I look for in a girl, I’d probably be single right now, just like you. It’s not like I lived my life surrounded by amazing black girls and I inexplicably chose an amazing non-black. I won’t date in the middle class or find an African refugee to satisfy you.
“Had Obama married a non-black woman, he never would have won the black vote.”
How can you even compare me with Obama ? Obama is not even black in France, he’s métis, he has lived much of his life in a more humble social environment than me and I’m not chasing “the black vote”.
“but statistically we know black men with money and status are at a much higher risk for marrying non-blacks and it’s a major problem in the black community.”
I don’t belong to the black community, you’d actually understand things better if you considered me as honorary white. Because apart from my ancestry, there is nothing African or Caribbean in me.
“but a black looking black woman, won him the respect of millions.”
Fine, I’m not marrying to get the respect of millions so why should I care ?
hell hath no fury like a black woman scorned.
it’s true!
and “successful” black women have it the worst, because they far outnumber “successful” black men and they don’t like white men (and vice versa).
although just to prove what whores women are:
marriages between white men and black women in the US are less likely to end in divorce than those between two whites, while marriages between white women and black men are twice as likely to end in divorce as those between two whites.
“You’re not a scientist so you wouldn’t know, but regardless, HBD is just how I partly EXPLAIN social inequalities, but unlike you I don’t ENDORSE social inequality.”
You’re not a scientist either. Contrary to you, I can make a difference between scientific objectivity and pseudo-scientific opinions, your theories and those of your gurus belong to the latter category.
Lol, I endorse social inequality because I’m not sympathetic enough with the Arabs of Israel. The fact that I’m a Rotarian, that I take part in many charities, that I have left wing social ideals, all that doesn’t matter because I’m going to marry a Jew and I support Israel’s right to peaceful existence. Ridiculous.
“No, but if you accept apartheid in any region of the World”
That’s not apartheid, it’s Arabs who declared war on Jews then lost and never accepted their defeat. Did blacks declare war on South Africa, have they formed multiple pan-African coalitions to attack it ? Have they had terrorist groups killing thousands of civilians ? No, Apartheid was fully gratuitous and racist. Israel has Arab citizens (20% of her population) and is defending against attacks.
“they have great wealth and power in many societies including France, so politicians must placate them.”
You know even the USSR voted in favor of Israel in 1948, Haïti too. But I bet you have conspiracy theories of Jews bribing diplomats to explain all of that.

“Their land was taken away from them by force. How were they not victims?”
Millions of Germans were expelled from central and eastern Europe post WWII even though their ancestors had been there since the middle ages. Millions of Hindus and Muslims have been displaced or taken their lands away when British India was partitioned between India and Pakistan. And examples like this are numerous. Israel was never supposed to take all of Palestine, the land was supposed to be shared, the Arabs didn’t want to share, they attacked, their coalition was humiliated in 6 days and the war essentially became a war of ego. And don’t compare it with any form of gratuitous minority oppression.
“You’re not a scientist so you wouldn’t know, but regardless, HBD is just how I partly EXPLAIN social inequalities, but unlike you I don’t ENDORSE social inequality.”
You’re not a scientist either.
Compared to you I am.
Contrary to you, I can make a difference between scientific objectivity and pseudo-scientific opinions, your theories and those of your gurus belong to the latter category.
As the above quote shows, you can’t even write a sentence, let alone evaluate science.
“No, but if you accept apartheid in any region of the World”
That’s not apartheid, it’s Arabs who declared war on Jews then lost and never accepted their defeat.
Is your IQ below 80? It was Arab land. The Jews came from Europe and took it and continue to take it and the Palestinians live like caged animals, unable to access hospitals or water. Don’t take my word for it. Listen to Nobel Peace Prize winning President Jimmy Carter:
and the boers beat the blacks.
how were the bantustans any worse than the west bank? at least the west bank has been recognized by sweden.
tell us please.
since 1994 20% of white south africans have emigrated and white poverty is 15%. it’s a disaster.
https://charlierose.com/videos/5916
btw, i’m a zionist. i want all jews to live in israel. the jews can afford to pay off the palestinians.
“and the boers beat the blacks.”
But it was aggression, not defense.
“how were the bantustans any worse than the west bank?”
How were the bantustans as warlike as the west-bank ?
“since 1994 20% of white south africans have emigrated and white poverty is 15%. it’s a disaster.”
No, it’s ok. Most Afrikaners are rednecks who wouldn’t have achieved any form of social mobility if they had been in fair competition with blacks. Secondly, the whites who left weren’t forced to, if they couldn’t accept to be a minority in a non white supremacist state, the best they had to do was to leave.
“Compared to you I am.”
Sorry, I forgot your theories were published in top peer-reviewed articles and that you were an Ivy league scholar. The closest thing to science that I’ve seen on this blog is your hot chocolate recipe.

Do you really want to compare our foreign language abilities ?
“Is your IQ below 80? It was Arab land.”
Lynn says my IQ’s in the 60s, if it makes you happy.
It was Ottoman land, that became British land where Jews were invited (Balfour Declaration) and bought land from the Arabs. Ironically, even more Jews came when they were expelled from the Arab states, my father in law could tell you about that. And Carter would have been more productive writing about the true South African apartheid instead of having the US vetoing sanctions and condemnations against South Africa and Israel at the UNO.

Santo is pure evil? Can someone explain this to me I haven’t been on in like a year.
He chimped out on Afrosapiens and emoquit sometime last week. He’ll be back.
totally unfair. the guy may be one of the few middle class or higher brazilians, but more likely he’s by far the poorest person who comments here…brazil is in a depression right now and it was poor to begin with.
his input from the third world is important even though it seldom makes any sense.
“his input from the third world is important even though it seldom makes any sense.”
Santoculto belongs in psychiatric hospital. Guys like this show me the limits to how much personality can be explained by environment.
It’s just the language barrier.
Santo is observant enough. What he says isn’t as hard as PP and Afro’s struggling to “get” would imply.
I would say hands down the most despicably racist commentator here is deal with lynching!
Her vicious tirades about ‘magic negroes’, jewish fascist world conspiracies, rape accusations against sasquatches and unyielding hatred for 3rd world genetic thrash is quite frankly, hate speech.
Calling Indigenous people Sasquatches is not funny. It’s childish and stupid. Grow up.
i’m the closest thing you’ll ever have to a boyfriend peepee.
You could’ve achieved something in life if not for your schizophrenia. Too bad.
For no particular reason
Jebs donors clapping for this was embarrassing.
Jeb likes illegal immigrants sitting on his face.
Literally.

Jesus, some of you are sounding like broken records!!
When is Pumpkin going to do an in depth anlaysis on the Zionist conspiracy to hide the results of IQ testing as applied to races of man and its constant psychological warfare on whites who are the only race with enough high affective empathy/autist (i.e. dumb enough) to tolerate jewish control of their financial, media, education, legal and now cyberspace systems?
What civilisations of man have kicked out zionist jews from their country and told them to stay away under punishment of death:
(a) Arabs
(b) Persians
(c) Slavs
(d) Germanic whites
What race of of white man is least immune to Zion’s brainwashing of the chi’rrun and can’t put their greasy lying heads into a vice and squash it unless a skilled, ridiculously charismatic and dogged leader emerges from the ashes of their nation after WW1?
(a) Germanics
(b) Celts
(c) Slavs
(d) Meds
Germanic whites – the idiot donkey that carries Shylock on its back as its being whipped senselessly and laughed at and told to smile and agree to its daughters being told to make love to sasquatches.
Bet yon Shakes-speare hath no longer strain’d nor tear’d his fabric of sympathy for Shylock!!!!
Poor Zion wanted to stack the Supreme Court with Jews with Hilary.
Brewer
Ginsburg
Kagan
Garland
And some cuck token.
$5m that they would have ruled to expand american citizenship to the whole world and revoked the 1st amendment to have a ‘hate speech’ law like in most of europe.
ZION SAYS YOU CHIRRUN CANT TALK ABOUT ME.
Thats why lawyers have a rotten name. At least in engineering you can’t replace a bolt with a ham sandwich and get away with it.
But like engineering, you can’t replace the american people with coolies and magic negroes and still have an ‘America’ worth living in and immigrating to.
you might be interested in the “rebuttal” to unz.
http://andrewgelman.com/2013/02/12/that-claim-that-harvard-admissions-discriminate-in-favor-of-jews-after-checking-the-statistics-maybe-not/
of course admissions is only one small part of the problem.
the claims are:
1. hillel greatly exaggerated the % jews.
2. surname analysis gives lower estimates than unz claims.
3. a smaller % of jews in academic competitions is due to more immigration. the fraction of jews among whites in these competitions is not that much lower than it was in the 50s.
nisbett and unz point out that american jews are only about 6% of those with IQs > 140. if one doesn’t believe the threshold theory, then philosemites might claim that the 140 cutoff doesn’t contradict the IQ explanation of the super jewish achievers. that is, they would claim that super achievers average IQs even higher and thus the jewish % of such people is > 6%.
Murray also relays a report from sky-high up in the genius range, when he notes that a 1954 survey of New York public school children with 170+ IQs revealed that 24 of the 28 were… Jewish.
if true this would have been on the mental age scale, so these would have been children no > 9 years i expect. no “official” IQ tests go above 160.
Using the same methodology [sic] on the Harvard alumni directory that enabled me to reproduce Unz’s result that Jews represent 6-7% of NMS semifinalists in the 25-state aggregate (as Unz reported in the first table of Appendix E), I obtained the revised estimate that Jews represented 7-9% of Harvard College students in Fall 2008.[14] I have also performed Weyl Analysis on Harvard College’s current and publicly available directory, yielding the result that 5-6% of current Harvard undergraduates are Jewish, which is slightly lower than the percentage of Jewish NMS semifinalists determined via Weyl Analysis.[15] Thus, when one uses the same objective methodology on the names of both NMS semifinalists (Unz’s proxy for the pool of qualified Harvard applicants) and Harvard undergraduates, one finds no evidence for Harvard’s “massive apparent bias in favor of far less-qualified Jewish applicants,” as claimed by Unz.

So what do you think about it?
Philosopher’s problem is the same as Alex Jones’. Both are para schiz, both see conspiracies everywhere. Philosopher should get his own show. Para schiz are very popular in the US.
I have an exam and I feel sick to my stomach. I’m becoming like Mugabe. Can’t take the stress. There is something uniquely horrible about law school stress.
“There is something uniquely horrible about law school stress.”
Hey, I understand, I’ve been through this before. Be confident, think of what you’re gonna do after the exam.
clonidine!
except don’t take it for anything else. the rebound hypertension is scary. it’s what caused my 4 day long panic attack about 5 years ago.
panic attacks are physiological btw, not psychological. it feels like a heart attack except there’s no shortness of breath. low blood sugar can cause them too.
Try some phenibut.
It’s pretty addictive, though.
@Ruhkukdsajdaskd
Thanks for looking out. I’m a girl but you’re right that I shouldn’t post the pics. And you should treat me as a guy regardless. No more condescending “darling squaw”. I’m a future lawyer. I’m better than that.
That’s cool that you’re going to law school, I’m considering applying to law school myself soon (I already have a social science Master’s but my pay is WAY TOO LOW, and I would love to be a rich high-powered lawyer).
the considerations must include:
1. the cost…you could buy a house in some places for the same amount.
2. that a degree from anything other than the top 15 or so law schools is probably going to be useless…
3. unless you really have a passion for ambulance chasing…in which case all that matters is the license to practice law…and richest lawyers are ambulance chasers…
only in america, where everything is a business.
It’s a lot less magical than you think, trust me.
I only make a little over $60,000 a year but it’s a easy-peasy job. I feel like I’m meant to do more life.
Law seems like the field most suited to my abilities but everyone I know (including people who are lawyers themselves) say it’s a YUGE mistake. So I don’t know where to go.
PP, what should I do with my super-high vocab/general knowledge but average everything else (spatial, working memory, processing speed)?
You did better on the wechsler than Mug of Pee. You got two 19s. He got only one
Your wechsler IQ is 13 points higher than the average Jew’s and look how successful they are with the same profile as you
Work in media
Yeah, but my digit span was really low (like 10/19). My profile isn’t that Jewy. Similarities score was REALLY low (8/19). That was my lowest section.
Jews are below average on short-term memory, though they’d probably do well on the more g loaded backwards section of digit span
Your low score on similarities is interesting given your other verbal skills
Ultimate conundrum: high knowledge, but average working memory…
I feel like I’m meant to do more life.
like what?
higher status and income != doing more. sometimes it means doing harm.
ask yourself, “what do i really want? how does a law degree help with that?”
without answers to those two questions you’re just a striver, a “hoop jumper”.
with answers you’ll be ahead of 99% of people.
So we’d be 3 in the law business, we might need to exchange contact information at some point lol.
higher status and income != doing more. sometimes it means doing harm.
Yup, I’ve realized that the main reason for me wanting to go law school is the higher prestige associated with law, and not any intrinsic interest in law. You’ve pointed out the rapacious nature of most lawyers and the legal field in general. But the lack of prestige of my current career relative to some of my peers I knew growing up bothers me. So I might become an evil lawyer anyhow 😈
Or I could go back to school for a STEM career, which my brothers went into (technology-related). And they make slightly better money than me. But I mostly got Bs in my college math courses (multivariable calculus, math stats, probability, analysis, some other stuff) so I’m not sure if that’s my strength.
But the lack of prestige of my current career relative to some of my peers I knew growing up bothers me.
Does having less occupational prestige than them really bother you, or is it having less pay? Or less of the prestige that comes with pay?
Your low score on similarities is interesting given your other verbal skills
Yes, that perplexed the hell outta me, I think the test proctor fucked up the grading.
I have an alternative test that measures the same thing as similarities if you ever want a re-measure
if you wanna make bank a prestigious B-school is an easier and straighter route.
law school is hard work and it takes 3 years.
the MBAs have become like the jews. they’ve taken over american business and hire and promote their own.
of course unlike law school B-school is a lot of math…just not very high level math.
the two smartest guys in my hs got MBAs even though they had zero interest in business when i knew them.
and STEM is oversubscribed in the S and M branch by 10 to 1. phds in natsci and math have few opportunities. geology is the only exception i know of.
the STEM shortage is a LIE.
most engineering fields are predicted not to grow by the bls.
labor is fucked. even at the high skill level.
it’s capital’s world. you can be its slave (technically skilled) or its servant (lawyer, MBA). or just opt out.
real world accomplishment means little in the world we live in now. the world’s most valuable company is a toy maker. steve jobs and the chocolate factory.
phds in statistics may also have good prospects.
i thought jews scored higher on digit span.
an anecdote: the chess prodigy reshevsky scored below average on everything except the digit span on which he scored the ceiling.
people with digit spans of >=11 my guess is tend to be the idiot savant type.
my digit span has increased with age. is that odd?
I would imagine they would score below average on Digits Forward. As I reported a while back:
Storfer notes that Jews “also performed poorly on a measure of short-term recall of sequences of nonword letter strings (scoring 0.3 standard deviations below the non-Jewish sample).” This implies a memory IQ of 96.
https://pumpkinperson.com/2016/08/26/excellent-data-on-jewish-iq-raises-more-questions-than-it-answers/
However digits forward only has a g loading of 0.3 compared to 0.6 for digits backward. Jews might make up for it on the latter, although the two parts of the test correlate 0.9.
i find mental arithmetic is related to digit span. keeping all those numbers in your head.
can peepee multiply two randomly generated three digit numbers in her head?
of course using the abacus method makes multiplying 10 digit numbers possible. this is actually a thing in japan.
yet another example of how even the most “culture free” tests are anything but.

i find mental arithmetic is related to digit span. keeping all those numbers in your head.
They both load on working memory, but my mother is off the scale at digit span, but only average at arithmetic. Jensen once tested a freakishly super human Indian calculating prodigy and she was only average or a bit below on Digit Span.
can peepee multiply two randomly generated three digit numbers in her head?
If given a generous time limit.
i meant to post https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6m6s-ulE6LY
Stick to the law.
Go into a sub field you find more interesting. If you want prestige, apply to a bank with the following caveat.
You are sitting on a goldmine with just a few moves – Consider a move into regulatory compliance. You will make more than your STEM friends in this area.
If you retrain, it must be something related to statistics/data science. This will give you the most flexibility in terms of tech, industry, professional services, insurance/finance and even academia.
Statistics is more important than physics in the modern world post Manhattan Project.
Does having less occupational prestige than them really bother you, or is it having less pay? Or less of the prestige that comes with pay?
Prestige matters because I want to feel important, and more powerful. That’s why I’ve leaned more towards verbal fields than math ones. As Lion would say, verbal = value transference = more prestige.
But the money matters even more. I have some students loans to pay off, and I want to live in a good neighborhood. Right now I live in an apartment in a sort of crappy area. I don’t have any problem paying bills but I want to save more.
As further disclosure of what I do: I currently work with a quasi-governmental entity, and work in a field where most people work in the public sector or non-profits, although there’s a few private sector positions. Working in public-sector definitely limits my pay.
At the same time, I like that my work is fairly non-stressful and I very rarely work more than 45 hours a week. Everyone at my job likes me and thinks I’m a genius. I’m smarter than everyone at my job except for the department director, who has a MBA from University of Texas.
At one time I almost considered getting a Phd in Public Policy. My advisor was encouraging me to do so, and was gonna even help with funding but I decided against it…
And I would definitely like to see that Similarities test. I’ll send you an email.
Yo PP what are your thoughts on this.

Re-Examining the “Out of Africa” Theory and the Origin of Europeoids (Caucasoids) in Light of DNA Genealogy
Seven thousand five hundred fifty-six (7556) haplotypes of 46 subclades in 17 major haplogroups were considered in terms of their base (ancestral) haplotypes and timespans to their common ancestors, for the purposes of designing of time-balanced haplogroup tree. It was found that African haplogroup A (originated 132,000 ± 12,000 years before present) is very remote time-wise from all other haplogroups, which have a separate common ancestor, named β-haplogroup, and originated 64,000 ± 6000 ybp. It includes a family of Europeoid (Caucasoid) haplogroups from F through T that originated 58,000 ± 5000 ybp. A downstream common ancestor for haplogroup A and β-haplogroup, coined the α-haplogroup emerged 160,000 ± 12,000 ybp. A territorial origin of haplogroups α- and β-remains unknown; however, the most likely origin for each of them is a vast triangle stretched from Central Europe in the west through the Russian Plain to the east and to Levant to the south. Haplogroup B is descended from β-haplogroup (and not from haplogroup A, from which it is very distant, and separated by as much as 123,000 years of “lat- eral” mutational evolution) likely migrated to Africa after 46,000 ybp. The finding that the Europeoid haplogroups did not descend from “African” haplogroups A or B is supported by the fact that bearers of the Europeoid haplogroups, as well as all non-African haplogroups do not carry either SNPs M91, P97, M31, P82, M23, M114, P262, M32, M59, P289, P291, P102, M13, M171, M118 (haplogroup A and its subclades SNPs) or M60, M181, P90 (haplogroup B), as it was shown recently in “Walk through Y” FTDNA Project (the reference is incorporated therein) on several hundred people from various haplogroup-c.
That’s nothing new in my opinion.
Thanks for the pictures.
Ive been reading about this paper all day. It’s self published. The journal charges 50 dollars to publish a 10 page paper with an extra ten dollars per page after that. It’s the author of the linked study journal.
People who deny OoA always link this paper, and it’s the only one they ever cite. I’ve not read the full paper in a few months, I’ll read it again tonight. Iirc they suggest that Europeans derived from the middle east.
It’s garbage imo. One study does not disprove the mountains of evidence for OoA.
Never really understood why some people kept on denying OaA. Here it’s a Russian pseudo researcher, another time it was a Chinese who pretended to have found human remains that were much older than those found in Africa… Others say races result from separate local evolution of homo Erectus. There is much nonsense that is said about the origins of mankind.
Never really understood why some people kept on denying OaA.
Because they don’t want to believe the first modern humans were black, because then they have to admit blacks are modern humans.
I rather think that they would take pride in being the original type of men whereas the others would be degenerates. They don’t do it in a HBD perspective in my opinion, especially the Chinese that tend to be ethnocentrist rather than racialist, the groups they despise the most are the Japanese and Koreans.
the nail in the coffin of the multiregional hypothesis is that humans have very little genetic variation compared to other mammals in general and chimpanzees in particular…and most of the variation is in africa.
how can it be that a species spread across four continents can evolve simultaneously…can evolve into the same species?
it’s impossible.
so the better theory is modern humans left africa about 50k years ago.
“how can it be that a species spread across four continents can evolve simultaneously…can evolve into the same species?
it’s impossible.”
Yes it’s impossible.
Another nail in the coffin of HBD denialism:

I am surprised that you recommended watching this TV episode because the theme of the episode was that IQ does not matter.
