Obama has realized that if he wants to maintain his enormous popularity among liberals, he can no longer just sit on the sidelines as Trump tramples all over his legacy. At the same time, the last thing he wants to do is ruin his retirement and risk his pristine reputation by getting into a mud fight, since no one benefits more from those than Trump. Thus he seems to have found a middle ground of mild criticism.
Trump reacted with a zinger about falling asleep.
When Obama fans heard about this, they went absolutely ballistic.
It’s not surprising they would become so angry. They consider Obama to be the greatest public speaker of all time, so to have a man they consider unworthy of shining Obama’s shoes, not only destroy Obama’s legacy, but mock even his greatest talent, just adds insult to injury.
Why are they so psychologically invested in Obama? Because white liberals pride themselves in supporting the underdogs and thus being very pro-black, but for years they’ve struggled to find a black they can get excited about. Rap stars and athletes are too uneducated for their elitist tastes. Even Oprah struck some of them as tacky for celebrating diets and materialism, and being loved by Midwestern housewives.
In Obama they found a black who looked, acted, and had the credentials of the white liberal elite, and thus he became their messiah. By contrast, Trump is everything they hate (tacky materialism, uneducated speaking style, white working class fans) and is also a “racist” white conservative, making him the ultimate villain.

the most g-loaded test is the (mere) second level on ms pacman. the faster you can do it the higher your non-V IQ.
why does peepee not promote sokoban as the ultimate nonverbal IQ test?
most sokoban puzzles are stupid, but some are what langan would call “highly difficult”. at least to me. it’s like rubic’s cube in 2 dimensions. if non-verbal had it’s own g…very high non-verbal g loading. Aymeric du Peloux.

btw, my PIQ is so low i only got the first puzzle after i thought for sure it was impossible and the website was taking impossible puzzles.
but i did get it eventually.
for my fellow low PIQs, it is NOT impossible.

this is rare footage of backstage at the oprah show.
hahaha
there’s a third motivation.
3. i’m smart. or tests say i am. and i do sense how utterly fucktarded other people are…so i should do something they can’t. or i’d be wasting my talent.
again STUPID.
Everything is bouncing around in the brain.

intelligence is majorly a result of high bandwidth
sailer links to a vid of a svelte white cheerleader winning an mma match vs a fat black girl.
why do whites dominate mma?
IQ
but china people compete too peepee and they have all the karate, kung-fu, judo etc. jive.
try again.
and some of the “whites” are actually mixed from bdah-zee-oo.
Asians are way smaller, less aggressive, physically slower & their IQ advantage is only 5 points at most
I disagree, whites Excel because they’re better ground fighters, which is where most fights end up.
Asians are just small,zero then again Bruce lee and Manny Pacquiao were deadly fighters.
??? Plenty of blacks in MMA. They don’t dominate as much as in other sports but they’re still over-represented (slightly).
Anderson Silva, Jon Jones, Cromier, Rampage Jackson…
bdah-zee-oo is the brazilian pronunciation of “brazil”.
hee-oh-zhee-zhuh-nAA-doo is the brazilian pronunciation of rio de janeiro.
my favorite of the china people fighting styles is “drunken fisted style”. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drunken_boxing
you can see in this vid how yuge hakuho’s muscle mass is in the legs and back…even though he has never lifted weights.
in november tyson fury will return and face a black guy, wilder, who has also never lost.
HBD on trial again. (fury is younger than wilder.)
why?
the narrative is that schmeling beat louis the first time with his brain, but that wasn’t enough the second time or schmeling threw the fight for political reasons.
and louis lost to marciano because louis was old.
you’ve got irish traveler vs black guy from alabama. both are “niggers” in their respective societies.
fury has a longer reach. he’s a monkey white guy. a fat flabby monkey white guy.
but the irish travelers have something to prove.
You have short legs. You’re a monkey.
exactly. and long arms. just like hakuho.
people in cold climates have monkey legs, but they usually also have short arms. my reach is 2″ greater than my height iirc.
i’m mixed.
i have big hands but short fingers.
i have a big head but also big ears.
and a yuge penis.
black women are strongly attracted to me.
…
i expect the match will be short and wilder will KO fury or the reverse.
i’d bet on wilder.
I am a cat in a pumpkin field.
bandwidth allows you to control information flow internally
a white woman who can POUND a black woman in the octagon is so sexy i can’t stand it.
haha
Its not like blacks dominate boxing anymore either. Some of it has to do with class. As whites became more middle class and blacks became something from a lord of the rings story, more blacks tried boxing and more whites tried lacrosse.
controlling information flow internally: it boils down to memory modification.
a network where memory is modified changing internal control
i think my sexiness is out of control.
even in the grocery store women come up to me and say, “here’s my number call me maybe.”
Women probably are attracted to you, just not in a sexual way.
But still single….
90% of brain signals are inhibitory firing. (keeps things regulated)
Ordinary People won best picture in 1980 iirc.

it was a film about AIDS and gay rights

in the old days men and women simply didn’t know many other men and women. most people never traveled more than 20 miles from where they were born.
so people hooked up without having the feeling they’d settled or won the lottery. the matches were natural.
C. scalia was short.
Our elites. All serving the eye. Not much difference is right.
I think i could write an obama speech. It would take a small bit of time though. But I think I could do a legit, non satirical one.
Karlins article is interesting because it just occured to me, many people listening to obamas speeches might think they are listening to the speech for the first time.
I ve listened to several interviews of Woodward. He is really not outstanding in any respect : neither thoughts nor the energy and thoroughness of his investigations as he describes it.
This, Philo’s puppet hypothesis is probably true. However, that doesn’t change anything on Woodward importance and impact.
It only gives a clue on his lack Of individual merit to justify it and maybe about the existence of powerful streams benefiting him.
notice swank stopped commenting immediately after his cover was blown?
PP, if I got these scores on the wais-5 what would my IQ be?
verbal comp – 120
working memory – 95
spatial – 125
abstract – 130
processing speed – 86
Don’t know. Depends on the correlation between subscales and how much weight they’re given.
why aren’t pill’s comments showing up?
the last two comments of pill’s i click on them and they don’t show up or nothing happens.
david rubenstein has decided he wants to be oprah apparently. he interviewed bezos the other day and again…how can peepee worship rich people?
i understand billionaires don’t have time to think about politics but how could bezos say what he did and not be retarded?
maybe i didn’t see the whole interview.
anyway,
1. rubenstein is an actual elite. oprah is not. why does he want to be oprah?
2. self-made rich people are better described as “driven” than smart. that is, they must have some threshold IQ, but what most distinguishes them from normal people (\and from other people as smart as they are is single minded focus. they’ve reached nirvanna, samadhi, moksha, “the zone”, and it’s…their business. sometimes this works. sometimes it fails spectacularly. so i wouldn’t advise single minded focus to anyone. and it’s one of those things like bobby fischer described the killer instinct and conan described comedic ability. you have it or you don’t.
gates and bezos have (or had) very high IQs. not sure if they still do. but their business success is…
in 1999, 2000, 2001 or whenever when gates was beat by ellison my dad said, “must’ve given’m a hard on right then.” my dad also said, “gates doesn’t strike me as so smart just as someone who is very passionate about what he does.” he also said german politician joschka fischer was the smartest person he’d ever heard. of course my dad was an order of the coif at his law school but was YUGE a moron. CPL, the creepy porn lawyer, finished #1 in his law school class. lawyers suck.
rubenstein is an actual elite. oprah is not. why does he want to be oprah
Because she’s the most worshipped and influential billionaire on the planet. As Rubenstein himself said “why would Oprah want to be president? Being Oprah is better than being president” Just the level of adulation is something not even money can buy:
self-made rich people are better described as “driven” than smart. that is, they must have some threshold IQ, but what most distinguishes them from normal people (\and from other people as smart as they are is single minded focus.
Single minded focus is nowhere near enough because there are only so many hours in a day and millions of people are already working to the limit. Most self-made billionaires have made a few spectacularly brilliant (or lucky) decisions in their career. Indeed evidence suggests that correlation between IQ and income might even sharply increase at the very highest level:

i just left a bathhouse and all i can say is AIDS is worth it.
and i admit that i am NOT a PIQ genius. it’s just that…
1. this doesn’t actually matter much in the real world.
2. i am significantly above average in non-V IQ. i was a good athlete and i am a far above average blitz (chess) player.
the point is…you can get super high IQ scores (and qualify for the BGI study) without being really smart at anything in particular, without being a genius. your talents just need to be balanced.
but i agree with peepee that (for environmental reasons) my VIQ has basically knocked people out so they think i’m smarter than i really am.
You’re pretty much right. IQ matters more for academic shit, not necessarily more practical shit. That’s why high IQ generally corresponds to low EQ. It generally depends on what you care about. Not everyone’s going to give a shit about IQ, some will give a shit about EQ.
VIQ is probably a bit more useful than PIQ.
VIQ can be very useful if you understand how to use it.
The masters of human perplex [complex] societies score higher on ”words/vocabulary understanding” and ”words/vocabulary manipulation” while their sophisticated servants as well others score higher on ”vocabulary size” and ”grammar”. The first group invent and use words to keep their power, the second group follow them. Vocabulary understanding is part of rationality, vocabulary manipulation is part of verbal creativity. Vocabulary size and grammar are about semantic memory, basically.
I think nobody cares about what do you think about yourself… And if there are that losers they are mostly irrelevant specially about their interest on you.
”the point is…you can get super high IQ scores (and qualify for the BGI study) without being really smart at anything in particular, without being a genius. your talents just need to be balanced.”
I wonder if it’s your case.
To be a genius talents must be umbalanced. Excessively well-rounded people are boring.
and math IQ is measured in chillens…like all other IQ studies…
math major math is a lot more VIQ than tween math.
