So we’re all very sad to hear about the tragic death of Anthony Bourdain
On a brighter note, this week Oprah officially became a historical figure with her own massive museum exhibit.
As the first multibillionaire descendent of black slaves, and someone who completely dominated U.S. culture for decades, the exhibit seems overdue. Back in 1986, the idea of a black woman having the #1 talk show in America was groundbreaking, and it’s amazing to see how racism dropped dramatically during her reign from 1986-2011 (hat-tip to Afro for finding the chart):
In other news, the trailer for the new Halloween movie is out. Can’t wait to see this. Love the fact that it actually looks like Fall in the Midwest (not like in the original which was filmed in Pasadena, California) and love the fact that Myers has been in a mental hospital in the 40 years since the original film ended.
I wonder if it would have been possible to administer him an IQ test (a non-verbal one since he doesn’t talk or read, but perhaps he could point to right answers or manipulate blocks-though his motor movements are slow as hell). The closet scene and the end of the trailer is freaky.
Finally, a fascinating discussion between Joe Rogan and Roseanne:
Pumpkin Person 
swank verbal reasoning, how i know swank is a jewish woman:
swank is standing next to the fuhrer and it’s raining.
hitler: it’s raining.
swank: no it’s not.
hitler: [looks at swank like he’s insane] what the hell does that mean?
swank: you said it was raining and you’re hitler therefore it’s not raining.
Muggy says that I, an alleged jew, should trust anything Hitler says to me.
Me: IQ 200
Muggy: IQ 69 BGI candidate
Bulverism.
Hitler hasn’t given me any reason or made any argument as to why it’s raining (he didn’t even tell me to look or offer the rain as evidence), so it isn’t fallacious at all.
Me: IQ 200
He’s making small talk with me. Again, why would I, a jew, want to make small talk with Hitler?
Me: IQ 200
The best course of action is to let Hitler know in no uncertain terms that I want nothing to do with him.
Me: IQ 200.
dumbass who can’t read!
you’re standing next to hitler, and it’s raining.
hitler merely remarks that it’s raining.
you’re projecting.
that it is raining is not the same as Hitler remarking that it is raining. Hitler did not make an argument as to why it is raining, and Hitler made a statement about the universe aka a scientific fact, as opposed to a norm, which means that the typical status quo BOP likely do not apply and that he carries the burden.
he did not make an argument, and as we all know, Hitler has an agenda against jews, which means that — absent an argument — the fact that Hitler is saying it has a negative impact on the probability of it being true. and because all reasoning based on -facts in reality- is INDUCTIVE, my assertion is CORRECT as a matter of inductive logic.
dumbass.
it’s obvious I read it anyway, here, you should read it again: (he didn’t even tell me to look or offer the rain as evidence).
Swank, exactly. Statements aren’t arguments.
Melo, take note.
“you’re projecting.

Oh wow.
This is bad.
This is probably the worst thing Ive ever read on these threads including animes comments. Wow.
Now I think Swank is not a jew but maybe an arab who is trolling by pretending to be an outlandish jew caricature.
sophism
feel free to explain what’s bad about it phil 🙂
as usual, the italians get it and everyone else doesn’t.
I can’t believe people here disbelieve rain exists.
no one said that. pay closer attention.
when “discrimination” means selection according to criteria unrelated to performance or potential performance, then there is lots of discrimination.
but all the ways that one is not allowed to discriminate are in fact a very small or negligible part of discrimination in general.
by constantly harping on these the bourgeoisie distracts the proletariat and keeps its power.
really, it’s not a bad idea to look at IQ tests as the degree one can divorce one’s self from the real world via language.
that would make it a by-product of civilization and the ideologies necessary to sustain it by papering over the alienation.
Is this for real? Looks terrifying!!
there are two possibilities:
1. swank is a sockpuppet.
2. swank is mentally retarded.
there are no other possibilities.
oh, there’s another possibility….
now i hate italians.
that’s consistent with your unrequited love for me. another name for the same thing.
if there are such cases as bourdain’s is supposed to be…
i expect “getting into their mind” it happens because there is a “mental pain” so severe that waiting for it to end is too much to ask.
this is metaphorical, but that’s my take.
so it’s like (mentally) being on fire.
so far as you can think at all you think, “must jump into water. must be hosed down by water.”
hanging = water…
it doesn’t make sense, but it makes sense.
so a very popular and competent monarch could actually do stuff…if parliament was very unpopular and incompetent.
it could happen.

Parallelism
Holding information
memory modification
putting it all together
Intelligent people seem to be able to be able to process a lot of information quickly and getting high-level concepts faster. The most defining reason for this is the utilization of memory. Everything goes in and out at extreme speed. And ideas generate internally rapidly.
If I had more energy I could take in more information and utilize it. It’s difficult to get started on projects because I cannot make out the details. It takes me months and months. I work on the basic concepts first because that is easier. Thinking requires a back and forth exchange and storage of information. Parallelism is part of that. If things are set up so more paths are working together then things flow smoother.
lmao, marsha isn’t 170 and neither is mugabe, he couldn’t answer a basic math-based IQ question that PP put to him. marsha is even dumber than mugabe by far (mugabe is pretty smart but he’s dumber than PP for sure). don’t be so gullible kitty. only PP, you and philosopher are being honest with scores here.
i would rank PP above philosopher and mugabe, who are above afro who is above you. marsha is afro-level, aka average smart woman at 125ish.
PP is old though so my IQ estimate of him only applies to IQ test questions, i presume he’s far better at them than mugabe/philo/RR, but he has some retarded biases and a sub-human love for oprah, probably dementia
impossible to tell with RR, apparently very shit at IQ tests, but seemingly smart on the surface. also has retarded theories like culture knowledge. PPs chimp culture question made me laugh
also kitty, you are stupid as shit in some areas (especially social, definitely social) but smart in others, so you are probably more like 120 average, but 113 in some areas, higher in others. i know 113 iq people (one of my relatives) and they are dumber than you by far
I only went with what I could confirm was in agreement with pumpkins views.
Pumpkin believes Marsha is 170
Pumpkins article of Mugabe’s GRE says 160
Pumpkins estimated Philosopher at 125
PP says RR has more energy than me.
This is all PP evaluations, not mine.
I know a person that says he is 170, he said my IQ was 118.
Overall the most important thing is the relationship memory has to intelligence.
The way you utilize your memory shows in your work and understanding.
What you can understand is a giveaway.
But there are dimensions to understanding.
So the best measure is the overall utilization of one’s memory.
Memory can be used for anything but the amount of memory matters.
Maybe pumpkin has a better answer?
this is how you know fenoopy is peepee.
peepee has never put any basic math question to mugabe, let alone one he couldn’t answer.
he’s talking about the number sequence my little dumb-dumb.
“he” = peepee.
and i got the RIGHT answer.
if your answer is different it’s WRONG.
no i’m not fepoopy, that’s just an example of jimmy’s paranoid thinking style
as fenoopy himself said:
“lyrion thinks i’m jimmy. jimmy thinks i’m pp. i’m not either of those people. i’m just fenoopy!”
i agree with you in regards to memory (knowledge and working memory) but it’s entirely trainable. i suggest you pick up programming
peepee is the single most mentally ill person i have ever come across.
coming from you that is FUNNY!
Marsha is a whore. Do prostitutes have high IQs?
I can’t wait till they GWA self-described prostitutes. I can’t wait to see the headlines.
Swank should basically say this rather than all the verbiage.
1. “Rabbi Tim Wise says what the law means and what it stands for”
2. “A person who is not jewish and not Rabbi Tim Wise especially cannot know what the mystery of the American constitution stands for”.
3. “The American consitution is a mystery to gentiles as intended by its designer, Rabbi Tim Wise”
The ‘mystery’ of the constitution is indeed a profound and deep problem all philosophers have pondered on. For example, Saul Kripke thinks the lack of commas at certain regular intervals may be a sign that the constitution was only draft, a placeholder, for a more perfect constitution.
This mystery enveloped the best legal scholars. What did the words mean? Who were they written by? Was it a celestial artefact left by angels?
Then the legal genius of our times, Rabbi Tim Wise descended from the amateur porn studio to make his declaration of original intent. It was he that had written the constitution and that he declared we gentiles could not understand the vagaries and reason within.
that’s right. jews have a “talent” for bamboozling with words, an inundation of words. enough words appear to be a genuine argument (superficially).
one example: the purely verbal distinction between “affirmative action” and quotas.
pilpul!
(1) X number of A group
vs.
(2) if a member of group A and B have roughly equivalent scores, then membership in group A can be the tie-breaking factor that decides who is allowed in.
Are those the same thing?
what I mean is Harvard always took the best black students in the country, but post-aa, they took a lot more, so they went from super-duper exceptional, to just super exceptional.
that’s it, that’s all, as you would say.
but the best blacks might’ve been african then too.
one of my dad’s roommates was a ghanaian.
he became a maoist.
and the same with latinos.
the latinos at h my dad knew were whiter than he was.
AA is quotas, nobody does tie break like that. In major corporations, unis, government jobs etc, they have quotas.
The supreme court even said so, but then said “we need another 50 years to right the original sin of slavery”.
all men are created equal
what changed
public opinion on women
now women are equal (some say not equal yet (SJW))
Philosopher is right that laws are fictions and only exist by enforcement.
But that means society can do anything it wants, no need to obey fictions.
public opinion is more powerful than fiction.
But the public is not one mass.
Individuals all shared different opinions.
opinions are not all the same.
this is how fictions continue.
mass conditioning.
and simple agreement.
