For years he towered as the Lion of the Blogosphere. So much so that he named himself the Lion of the Blogosphere. Despite his prole upbringing in Staten Island, 800 years of selective breeding for high Ashkenazi intelligence in Europe had given him a genius IQ of 145 and the Ivy League degree to go with it. Thousands of readers flocked to his blog for keen insights and shrewd logic.
But not even 800 years of extreme natural selection could have prepared him for the genius gestating in his own comment section. He was kind enough to promote my blog, but not even he could have imagined that not only would I match him in audience, but rank twice as high!
Today I rank as the 666,397th most popular web site on the planet.
While Lion ranks as the 1,356,401th most popular
Not since Oprah overtook Donahue in the talk show ratings 32 years ago have we seen such a stunning upset. In a desperate attempt to stay relevant in a ferociously competitive market, Lion has been reduced to sensational headlines like “I support child sex dolls”
Reminds me of when Donahue donned a dress and interviewed male strippers in a desperate attempt to compete with Oprah.
Nothing worked, because to quote Oprah “the difference between Donahue and me, is ME!”
The difference between Lion and me, is ME!
Pumpkin Person 
I KNEW IT I KNEW IT: pumpkin person = lion of the blogosphere!!!!!!!!
THE DECEPTION GOES EVEN FURTHER THAN I THOUGHT
Lion is less tolerant of the entertaining personalities that PP has collected. Also tends to ban anyone that disagrees with him. Reading what people think about the blog post is just as interesting to me as reading the blog post itself. I know I’m not the only one that scrolls down to the YouTube comments section even as I’m watching the video, sometimes even before.
Also but more importantly Lion is a mouth breathing retard and isn’t 145 IQ, as usual PP is too generous with IQ estimations.
I’m just going by his self-reported scores on college admission tests.
For spending with such a supposed “high IQ”, his “articles” are short opinion pieces with hardly anything of substance.
I have the same criticism of this blog.
In past years he had a few classic essays that had a big impact in the HBD-o-sphete. Now he’s kind of resting on his laurels a bit.
IQ 145 and being a mouth-breathing retard aren’t mutually exclusive.
The light of Oprah’s talent shines on puppy.
Hi Pumpkin, I thought you might find this interesting. It’s a link to a copy of the Army General Classification test1-C taken by over 9 million US persons during WW2 and includes instructions on scoring and administration.

Weird. I was just wondering about what test was used in WWII because the black-white IQ gap mysteriously increased by 50% compared to WWI.
My theory is WWII used a scholastic type test while WWI used a more culture reduced conventional IQ test
Others say the increase was caused by sampling error (rural southern blacks not tested in WWI)
Congrats Pumpkin. And I would dare say you ve succeeding at transferring value – LoB for parasitism he complains so much about – because if 70% of LoB trafic comes through LoB word – your main trafic (4 biggest imputs) come at 25% from him and 75% from your unabomber post (and a bit of Jeff Bezos
I belong to the 25% who came through LoB.
So I think you could advance transfer value by doing a new post about Ted Kaczynski-unabomber trying to figure out if he was Jewish or not and the impact of this notion on his IQ and fate. Quite sure it would grow your site by at least 15% 🙂
I am not sure LoB is interested by fame status. He tried to close his blog several times. And he is a bit depressed by his social circonstances. He would have deserved much better even if his situation is not that bad as some other bloggers. Anonymity is an impediment to monetization also (see Pederson).
lmao, 145 iq and depressed about social circumstances, get out of here. impossible to be 145 iq and poor unless you like being poor like marx.
He makes six figures a year which is considered poor by Ivy League Manhattan standards.
And he works or did work in computer programming (a sign of high IQ)
The average salary of a software engineer in Cali is $119,442.
You should look at the biography of many Mega society members … starting with the creator of the test.
So anything less than this number is below average, making Lion below average if he isn’t earning $120k+
He’s well above that iirc
Why is he ‘depressed’ then or is Bruno exaggerating?
It might be exaggerated but lion feels he would have been much richer had he chosen to attended an elite law school (instead of just an elite undergrad college & mediocre law school).
And he is probably right because an intelligent Jewish guy with a JD from H|Y or Columbia would have make it into big law. And then, choosing a technical specialty of law, he would have make it into Partner. For more extrovert people or dumber ones or more ambitious, it wouldnt’ have changed much. But for LoB it would. People like George Conway are much closer to LoB than to an alpha.
I remember LoB said he makes something like 150k. He is paid by the hour as a contractor now.
Does anyone knows if there is any stat about salary among people from poor backgrounds to really test the impact of IQ on success (beyond correlation) ? Ideally we should have a matrix with IQ and Parenrs income to personal success. It wouldn’t sort the genes/environnement question but at least narrow the scope of correlation between IQ and success.
Afro, a 1M euro wealth means you have a 2 bedroom flat in Paris, in an average place, and not more. So your not living from any wealth revenue. And if you rent this flat to someone, you’ll get 30k, and with taxes, you ll keep only 15k a year. That’s hardly a revenue you can live is. You need to work on your intuitions a bit more.
How about you read more carefully?
I wrote:
There are 580,000 dollar millionaires in France, I’m a hundred percent sure capital income accounts for the major part of earnings for all but the bottom quintile, people who just own up to 1 million plus a few hundred thousands more and have few income-generating assets.
That’s exactly what I said, owning up to 1.5 million euros of mostly non income-generating assets like non-rented residences or idle land doesn’t make you live off capital income. But given the relatively low wages in France, it’s very common for millionaires, and the norm for multi-millionaires, to make more from capital income than from labor.
Afro, you made so many statements I disagree with, that if we have the same conclusion on one I lost track of I carefully, I more than happy to agree with you 🙂
Carelessly
It’s okay.
Why do people care about money more than knowledge? I don’t have anything in common with status-grubbers or academic no-lifers. I’m very young now but the single goal of my life is science.
Status and believing that knowledge is something others can gain with comparative advantage and therefore isn’t the most Novell thing to do. Maybe also being raised to value such things. Maybe also women. Maybe it’s the is=/=ought gap. Questions about intentions are things I don’t think we can awnser yet, maybe it’s my autism.
Very aggressive comment from thinking mous.e
I didn’t intend to be aggressive. Do I sound aggressive because the things could be premises that could constitute arguments against his priorities? That he didn’t have status and women, because I didn’t mean to say that that was the case for him, but that different priorities are needed to reach these things for different people.
Also, I said the is=/=ought gap as many people value subjective experiences more than math as other things are engaging/distracting enough.
He’s just trolling you

Excess of women and money and other materialistic goals are pathetic.
More vociferous aggression.
Feenopy, it could also be the only way to socialize wthin ones clas, and some people are just crazy about gadgets. Its a minority that are crazy about gadgets, so for most people I’d suspect that it’s the is=/=ought gap alng with other distractions as well as physics being too much work. It ties to social life pretty tighly, it might also be about providing for your kids.
Not even relevant and he doesnt get moderated.
Pumpkin owes his success all to me.
Puppy, who did you hire for your new office? Did you hire any minorities or women?
Answer truthfully.

That’s like saying there’s no washroom so I’ll take a shit in your living room.
Wait for the open thread please.
Off-topic comments are a privilege not a right.
hahahaha
Google them and you’ll know.
He’s 125 VIQ, max. And his blog fell into a deep pit about a year or so ago. That’s the reason behind his failure.
