Last week I was busy searching the internet when I got a text message urging me to immediately turn on CBC radio because there was an excellent show. CBC radio puts out a lot of really good shows and this one was no exception. You can hear the whole episode here.
Here’s the description:
Universities are supposed to be dedicated to the exchange of ideas. But according to social psychologist Jonathan Haidt, campuses now skew so far to the left that they’ve become what he calls “political monocultures” in which voices that stray too far from liberal orthodoxy are shouted down. Paul Kennedy speaks with Professor Haidt – and with other scholars who have been thinking about the complex question of diversity on campus.
Pumpkin Person 
oprah cried when a [redacted by pp, sept 3, 2018]
They were fake. She’s the most skillful manipulator I’ve ever seen. Her mother’s cousin claimed that Oprah told her each tear is worth an extra rating point. Plus it allowed her to suck up to a very powerful demographic group by showing compassion for them. She learned early in her career what happens when you piss them off and never made that mistake again.
then she’s a sociopath.
the stuff you’ve done is far more sociopathic. Smearing people all over the internet just because you disagree with their scientific theories. At least Oprah was smart enough to make billions of dollars and millions of fans.
And the truth came out in the end and it wouldn’t have without her.
santo showed a picture of oprah giving weinstein a girl. she was his madame.
[redacted by pp, sept 4, 2018]
she’s so squeaky clean that the only way people can smear her is through guilt by association
I agree the picture looks bad, but I actually love the picture. I think it’s beautiful.
Some have speculated that had Oprah not had a few lucky breaks in life, given the poverty and dysfunction she came from and the legacy of slavery, she probably would have used her genius to become a worldclass criminal.
she is a criminal. it’s just that day time tv isn’t illegal. she also faced a slander suit from beef producers which dr phil helped her with.
[redacted by pp, sept 4, 2018]
that law suit was a huge abuse of power by the beef industry. There never should have been a law protecting beef from libel in the first place, they just got one through lobbying. By speaking out Oprah saved millions of cows and potentially prevented mad cow disease from coming to America because after that show, beef feeding practices were altered. Didn’t you say mad cow runs in your family? You of all people should be grateful to her for speaking out.
Compared to most elites, she’s a saint.
mad cow doesn’t run in any one’s family fucktard. there’s no genetic susceptibility. if you eat infected meat, you get it. it’s caused by a prion. just like kuru.
I wasn’t implying it was genetic. Things can run in families for non-genetic reasons.
and nothing runs in my family. this is true of most families.
This picture isn’t indicative. And Im the schizo.
Meryl Streep has a lot more questions to answer than Oprah vis Weinstein. I would suggest though that Oprah was aware of Weinsteins reputation…the face she makes at him looks like one of concealed disgust if anything.
Whether Oprah is a psychopath is totally irrelevant. What matters was the system and the astroturf culture that created her and made her liable to become famous. This is what Haidt is talking about.
Haidt is kind of half saying it….but he won’t go the full way and say that its purposefully selected. Haidt won’t mention how economics suddenly went neoclassical in the 70s after everyone knew Keynes was right. How is it that social stuff became extremely liberal and economics in america became something the Koch brothers would endorse? If it was all about hippies taking over universities that doesn’t make sense.
Master.
Master chooses the priests and the priests are allowed make up new stuff within the realms of Masters discretion. Master wants wall street unregulated and peoples social attitudes to resemble Deal With It. Thats the only way to explain it. Never give priests more animus than they actually have.
If it was all about hippies taking over universities that doesn’t make sense.
The hippies were never true leftists to begin with. The election of Donald Trump is proof that there is no Master.
I never said these people had total control. If these people had total control I wouldn’t be typing these comments.
You claim they tell the military, the CIA, acdemia, the media, and the president what to do & have tricked bill gates into giving away his money. That’s total control. You also moronically refer to them as master.
They control the CIA, academia, the 6 major media corporations and alot of what the president does, yes. 100% agree.
Bill Gates was tricked into serving minorities and he doesnt even know why he does it, 100% stand by that. I said that – as trumps butler said when confronted about his facebook comments.
They control the CIA and media because they ARE the CIA and media, not because there’s some secret elite telling these institutions what to do. No one is ordering or blackmailing Thomas Friedman into brainwashing readers, he instinctively does it on his own out of tribal interests. Now he may conspire with other neocons on the best talking points to use, but there’s no demonic “master” behind the scenes choreographing it all. That’s your schizophrenia talking.
Now there are powerful activists & organized criminals who pressure and intimidate those members of the elite who don’t share that tribal agenda, but most elites go along with it either because they agree with it or because they want to remain in the elite.
And no Bill Gates has not been tricked into saving Africa. Other elites couldn’t care less about genuinely helping Africans, they just use minorities to advance their own interests. If anything elites want Africa to be as bad as possible because it creates more refugees they can send to the West.
No, people decided to make Thomas Friedman and not some [redacted by pp, sept 4, 2018]. Just like every single word he writes is edited and looked over to make sure it fits the aims. I’m not sure what Friedman’s status is within nomenclatura. But Im certain the NYT editor is involved in the conspiracy with other prominent deep state actors.
No, people decided to make Thomas Friedman
And the people who decided that are the owners/editors of the NY Times. These are known elites, not some secret group.
pill’s theories come from a book by the founder of Salon on dull-es. the dulles brothers were NOT from the nomenclatura but became members. they were wall street lawyers prior to their “public service”.
one point in favor of this theory is one of the two writing questions on my GMAT. i’ve posted this before but peepee refused to post it.
it’s odd that i’d score 99+ percentile on the verbal section of the GMAT and 6th percentile on the writing. it was short answer, like two paragraphs. most likely i didn’t write enough. my answers were too short. but one of the questions was something like, “when should government keep secrets from the governed?” i’m NOT kidding. bizarre question for a test used for b-school admissions. how bizarre. how bizarre.
It’s social judgement question, viciously designed to screen out autistics.
99+ = IQ 135 and 6th percentile is about IQ 75, but let’s generously assume the bell curve of GMAT test takers is 18 points to the right
This gives you a verbal IQ of 153 and a social IQ of 93.
Assuming about a 0.67 correlation between subtests, that’s a composite IQ of 126!
Very consistent with my estimate of your WISC-R IQ at age 10.
You’ve been mediocre your whole life.
People like Deal go to college and are immediately bowled over and learn phrases like ‘legacy of colonialism’ even though colonialism is not relevant to modern day issues and hasn’t been for nearly 100 years.
Sailer wrote a very good series of pieces on the phrase ‘institutional racism’. ‘Institutional racism’ has less evidence going for it than the idea 9-11 was allowed happen.
There is 0% chance someone like Saul Kripke is considered a serious philosopher in a world where the elite are genuinely open to new ideas. And by elite, i dont mean Oprah. I mean the people the actualy order the CIA what to do or the US millitary.
I mean the people the actualy order the CIA what to do or the US millitary.
There are no such people pill, other than the sitting president. The proof of it is the Iraq war. The neocon intellectuals had been planning it since the 1990s, but were ignored by the white house for years. It was only after 9/11 that their case became palatable. Things don’t happen because some God-like person orders them, they happen because dozens of determined obsessed powerful people work tirelessly for years or even decades to make them happen.
Iraq was invaded in the 1990s….
It was invaded in 1991, but Saddam was never removed. The neocons had been obsessed with finding a way to remove him since then, but were unable to get anyone to take them seriously until after 9/11.
I’ve always found it odd how Saddam remained in power after the 1st gulf war. You not find that really odd as well?
So continuing in this vain about cults, I was thinking about how children are not only credible but in all civilised places in human history are indoctrinated by central authorities first. Often from birth. So you have a mind thats wired to be programmed and a ‘social instinct’ to do it. Doesn’t matter about the technological state or the culture or even the actual cult per se.
This would lead me to surmise that humans are indeed herd animals, which won’t surprise some people, but not because the system treats them that way, but because, intrinsicially most humans are ‘born to serve’.
What makes jews the most unique people on earth is that they can ‘hack’ into the programming children get despite not being in the elite and change it.
I dont think I’ve ever heard you (or anyone else here) use the word or phrase that I think best summarizes the problems in the world: neoliberal.
“Neoliberalism” is the best term to describe the ideology of the globalist elite. It’s a fusion of SJWism + libertarianism + neoconservatism. None of which I think are that bad in and of themselves (well maybe neoconservatism is). But when combined they produce Thomas Friedman, the Iraq War, and the borderline Civil War situation we’re experiencing in the country right now.
Huh? Neoliberals are just social liberals who believe in free markets.
Neocons are people of all politics who are obsessed with intervention in the Middle East.
Thomas Friedman is a neocon, not (just) a neoliberal. More to the point, he’s a tribal psychopath, pretending to be a liberal.
At least one author sees nroliberalism and neoconservatism as going hand-in-hand. From Wikipedia:
With the victory of Donald J. Trump on November 8, 2016, the ‘neoliberal-neoconservative’ policy consensus that had crystalized in 1979–1980 (Deng Xiaoping’s visit to the United States, election of Reagan and Thatcher) finally came to an end […] The deliberate neglect of America’s creaking infrastructure assets (notably public transportation and water sanitation) from the early 1980s on eventually fueled a widespread popular discontent that came back to haunt both Hillary Clinton and the Republican establishment. Donald Trump was quick to seize on the issue to make a broader slap against the laissez-faire complacency of the federal government.
Of course they’re not one in the same but many who believe in one believe in the other. Neoconning helps the elite as does SJWism (using this term somewhat loosely to mean social liberal) and libertarianism. Reagan was a neoliberal but with a lot less emphasis on the social liberalism.
I don’t really think the term “neoliberal” is superior to “globalist” but I prefer it.
How was Reagan a neoliberal? It makes no sense to say neoliberal without the social liberalism. It’s like saying neoconservative without the military interventionism.
When I think of neoliberal I think of Bill Clinton and the new Democrat triangulation of the 90s. Obama would also be a neoliberal. Basically any pro-business liberal. But lumping them in with neocons is really unfair, even if there is some overlap between the two.
I suppose those neocons who want war for liberal reasons (liberate the people from dictators) could be neoliberals, but usually these people are lying and their true motive is hyper-conservative and tribal.
the analogies were the most g loaded of the sat questions so of course they were gotten rid of because (((black people))).
another reason is (((homophobia))).
“analogies” contains the word “anal”.
In order to have the SAT more closely reflect high school curricula, certain types of questions were eliminated, including analogies from the verbal section and quantitative comparison items from the math section.
wtf? because high schools teach dumbness?
dumb is smart
WAR IS PEACE
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH
no it wasn’t the most g loaded and i’m sick to death of people saying the old SAT was more g loaded. The two versions correlate 0.9+. blacks did worse on the old SAT but it’s not necessarily because the test changed, it’s because the skill gap was wider then.
the analogies were the most g loaded of the sat questions so of course they were gotten rid of because (((black people))).
I’ve done some old versions of the SAT analogies and I was pretty good at them. A bit surprising considering my Wechsler Similarities score wasn’t too hot.
where did you find old (pre-1995) versions of the SAT?
I didn’t. I’m pretty sure they had analogies on the SAT up until the early 2000s because I remember doing them in middle school.
When I said old I didn’t mean pre-1995 SAT. I just meant older version of the test.
Phil “I was thinking about how children are not only credible but in all civilised places in human history are indoctrinated by central authorities first”
But yet you somehow worked your way out of the indoctrination Phil?
That book Genes and Polymorphisms is great. It’s a Rushton-like book. A lot of leaps of logic made. The author tries to cover his tracks with a few phrases but his overall thesis is garbage. I have like 30 pages to go. Expect a critical article within the next few days
He uses the Greeks (for Plato) and Chinese (for Confucius) as his model. I’m almost done with the part about the part on the serotonin transmitter and read the part on DRD4-7 (I wrote my own piece on that back in 2015) and the last thing he talks about is COMT and altruism. This book made me laugh. I kept a lot of notes, there will be copious quoting done so you guys can see how ridiculous the book is.

Well his other book is endorsed by a nobel prize winner, I presume in medicine.
Race thinks anything CNN thinks is a just so story, is a just so story. Race, what about russia ‘hacking’ the us electorates brains and forcing them to vote for a nationalist? Is that a ‘just so’ story? Just curious?
Or the reason why blacks don’t write many genetics books? CNN says institutional racism – is that a just so story?
You people keep saying they run corporations for a profit and not as shell entities for wider social goals.
The hashtag boycottnike is the number 1 trending thing now.
It’s Mug of Pee who keeps saying elites are motivated by class interests because he was manipulated by chomsky and other Marxist intellectuals into thinking money,and not genes, is the primary motive of elites. Mug of Pee’s SAT IQ was dozens of points higher than his WISC-R IQ, because the WISC-R measured right-brain abilities Mug of Pee lacks, like social cognition & intuition.
What part of the brain is a high SAT-IQ representing?
Are right-brain abilities really located in the right brain?
I know that being fast allows you to do more. What’s up with that?
I’m not that fast but I am working on my perception.
Lets make a bet.
In 10 years martin luther king will not be seen as a quasi saint.
Obamas presidency will be viewed as a failure by liberals.
The republican party will purge many of the neocon puppets but not all through natural attrition or primaries.
Hasnt trump helped the neocons greatly?
He put more troops in Ukraine, helps mossad and saudi arabian adventures.
He isnt solving the south china sea thing.
And he hasnt stoped making Nato involved in the politics of Kinshasa.
He hasnt solved the drug gangs in Latin america.
He hasnt cut the payroll of the arms manufacturers.
HE cut the Iran deal.
He hasnt anounced himself supporting Assad.
He hasnt stopped Afghanistan.
Jerusalem is looking more jewish than ever.
Who will take away the neocons global warming is going to make the third world more volitile?
When it comes to foreign & economic policy Trump goes along with the rest of the elite but when it comes to immigration and political correctness, he opposes them. You can’t become president opposing the elites on every issue, so he aligned himself with the elites on issues his base doesn’t care about.
Republicans have Always been racist. Just look att the Obama citizenship conspiracy, of the drug war. His anti China Stuff seems to contradict your sentiment.

this is more significant than just the IQs of rural chinese.
why?
because china’s city dwellers are in part SELECTED by the government. the riff raff are excluded. but now by some measures china is > 50% urban. but i wonder if this includes sub-urbs and ex-urbs while immigration to the cities proper is still tightly controlled.
of course none of this explains the difference in IQ profile.
does rr disagree that china people are better at non-verbal measures of intelligence than at verbal measures (relative to white anglo-americans)? the inverse ashkenazi profile?
not the behavior of “genetically superior people”. just like squashing people under tanks in tienanmen…not cool.
funny anecdote.
when i took the GRE subject test in chemistry there was a white guy and a chinese guy just before me in the check in line.
the chinese american guy was taking the english subject test and the white guy the physics.
The chinese army never drove over the guy.
interesting anecdote about writing:
when i was in high school the writing/english teachers gave bad grades to such writing.
but the other teachers gave bad grades to the simpler more easily understandable writing. even when this was intentional and not just the result of stupidity/simplicity.
following the english teachers’ advice about what is “good writing” gets you bad grades outside of english teachers.
this is why canada will underperform australia. sad!

This article is mind boggling because I didn’t know that level 4,5 and 6 of Pisa math test for 15/16 yo students were so easy and that only 3% of westerners were able to do level 6. Even 12% of Japanese seems to be a very low number.
I didn’t check the numbers to know if it’s effectively representative of the average number of correct answers to level 6 pbs (as implied) and not the number of 100% correct answers to all level 6 questions ….
The guy implies that you need a 120 IQ to succeed in average to this level . Wich would make sense because then westerners would have a ceiling of 10% and East Asian, with a 110 math IQ, would have a ceiling of 25%.
That’s shows that the gap in fluid intelligence both inside a population and among populations is so huge …. Tunesian, Jordan, Qatar, Thailand and Indonesian results, even Argentinian one are extremelly low . And there no data on subsaharian (or even Marocan people)
http://www.unz.com/akarlin/stupid-people/
Yeah we did some research at the regulator and found out nearly 50% of people can’t read a bank statement.
I grew up in a hillbilly town and I remember going to school with people like this. Some observations would be:
1. A lot of them have kind of really mild ADD and don’t like studying. Which is fair enough.
2. Some of them are much better at non-academic things that require intelligence.
3. I think if you put a gun to their head and forced them to learn how to do algebra, they could get by.
I personally never did any math homework or studying because it was too boring. But I actually have genuine schiz, or at that time, pre-morbid schiz.
I remember a psychologist in London asking me was I the smartest person I’d ever met and I said, from what I can tell in conversations with people, I genuinely believe I haven’t met anyone at a similar level in terms of VIQ anyway.
Math IQ, I’ve met plenty of people better than me. My good friend growing up had autism and basically was never wrong in math. especially applied math type things.
if you had high VIQ you wouldn’t believe in conspiracies and would understand that belief systems, dogma, etc. move people.
even conspiracies surrounding ‘let us give the appearance of x for our own material gain’ are sucked into the vacuum of x until there is nothing but sincere adherence to and belief in x.
the ideas move on their own.
which is why free speech is so important.
it takes high VIQ + high SIQ to understand these things.
but pill is right that someone who actually does “understand these things” will be accused of “conspiracy theory”.
that is, anti-semitism.
”I remember a psychologist in London asking me was I the smartest person I’d ever met”
Pill,
it’s part of treatment..
Youre such an idiot its unbelievable.
Keeping track of everything that needs to be done apparently shows your level of intelligence. Which is the fact that if your brain can do more it is generally smarter. Super smart people can do a lot with their brain, (keep track of multiple things). It is easier for them to deal with complex environments because they can think about more things at once. Makes sense when you see what people smarter than you have done.
Yes, karlins article is very good. I would agree with a lot of it. I was familiar with Kermers model from college. It was used to explain taxi driver income. Essentially its a pc way of saying smart fractions.
i think the 18th century lesbian pioneer Hegel would have said that most people lack any negative to their abstract social reality by which to analyze it relative to their own subjective wants, needs, and therefore are essentially pods.
and if he wouldn’t have, he should have.
They can’t see that the way things are for them is inauthentic to being human and lead the life of a drone. Things are as they are, no higher principle or ideal or striving for them. (is this all there is?)
Youre the only lesbian here.
Well if you were a ‘conspiracy theorist’ even just 100 years ago in many western countries and said religion was made up, many people would think you were morally deformed, even mentally unstable.
So if you say theres a certain faction with certain biological traits calling the shots, people find that even harder to accept.
