This month was the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, so it is interesting to ask what Usama bin Laden’s IQ was. In all those years he was hiding in the caves of Afghanistan, anyone could have snuck across the border, stumbled upon his cave, and handed him a copy of the Standard Progressive Matrices.
Average IQ of the Arab World: 84 (UK norms)
The first question that needs to be answered is how do Saudi Arabians perform on the SPM? In 2010, 15-year-old Saudis averaged 36 out of 60 on the SPM.
This put them at the 14th percentile of UK 1979 norms which equates to IQ 84 (UK norms). Although these norms were 29 years old, no adjustment for the Flynn effect is needed because the UK’s Raven Flynn effect in teens appears to have plateaued in 1979:
Expected IQ of World’s most influential Arab: 117
Now regardless if one considers Usama to have been an evil geopolitical Genius or just a useful idiot for the neocons, there’s no denying that September 11th was arguably the most consequential event of our lifetimes, so by the end of his life, Usama was not just the most evil Arab on the planet, but arguably the most influential. Indeed objectively he should have been Time magazine’s Person of the Year in 2001 but fearing this would be misinterpreted as praise, Rudy Giuliani got the title instead after Oprah crowned him “America’s mayor”. Analogously, Einstein had been named Person of the Century because giving that tile to Hitler was anathema. Many years later, when it was safe, Time would name Usama (and Hitler) among of the 100 most influential people of all time.
If there were a perfect correlation between IQ and influence, the most influential Arab out of 423 million would have an IQ 88 points higher than the average Arab. But given the correlation is only about 0.37, the most influential Arab has an expected IQ 88(0.37) = 33 points higher than the average Arab, or IQ 117. The standard error of this estimate would be 13.9. 95% Confidence Interval: IQ 90 to IQ 144.
Expected IQ of a 6’5″ Arab: 97
As a kid, Usama was praised for his light skin and height. The FBI listed him as 6’4″ to 6’6″. Let’s say he was 6’5″. This is about 3.5 standard deviations taller than the average Arab man (5’8″).
If there were a perfect correlation between IQ and height, Usama would have been 53 IQ points smarter than the average Arab, but since the correlation is only 0.24, his expected IQ was 53(0.24) = 13 points above the Arab mean. In other words IQ 97. Standard error: 14.55. 95% Confidence Interval: IQ 68 to IQ 126.
Expected IQ when World’s most influential Arab was also 6’5″: 125
A random Arab has an expected IQ of 84 but being the World’s most influential Arab adds 33 IQ points and being 9 inches taller than average adds 13 IQ points. Since Usama met both of these criteria, it’s tempting to add these expectations together and conclude he was 33 + 13 = 46 points smarter than the average Arab.
However these expectations can not be added because they’re not fully independent. Part of the reason Usama was influential is he was tall enough to command respect. And part of the reason he was so tall, is he comes from an influential well-fed family. For example the correlation between height and income (a proxy for influence) is 0.13.
When we remove this redundancy, and look only at the independent predictive power of influence and height, his influence adds 30 IQ points and his height adds 11, so Usama’s expected IQ is 30 + 11 = 41 points above the Arab mean of 84. In other words, his expected IQ was 125. Standard error: 13.6. 95% confidence interval: IQ 98 to IQ 152
Whoever was the mastermind behind the September 11th attacks likely had an IQ above 120. Planes are transportation, not missiles, so to adapt them to such an evil purpose required thinking outside the box ( lateral thought) which is probably quite g loaded. However a member of a super high IQ society famously said after September 11th (I paraphrase from a 20-year-old memory):
Surprising that anyone smart enough to pull off such an attack would be sufficiently unwise as to actually do it.
Bill Gates’s comment about Epstein implies equally to Usama: “Well, he’s dead, so in general you always have to be careful,”
Pumpkin Person 
How abstract are you pumpkin? how do you handle high-level concepts?
he is definitely more of a practical guy i have never seen once in his blog think abstract in a way that would wow me.
I’ll find out soon enough. I’m taking the Terman Concept Mastery test.
fascinating. how does this work and how do you think youll do? you probably have an expectation of how youll do right?
It’s the only IQ test Jensen took so I want to see how I compare to the great genius in an apples to apples comparison.
PEPE WHERE DID YOU GET THAT? I SENT RON HOEFLIN AN E-MAIL MONTHS AGO AXING FOR IT BUT I NEVER GOT IT
I have connections. What makes you think Ron Hoeflin has it?
Someone who had previously exchanged e-mails with Hoeflin and got extremely high scores on Mega and Titan told me that he might have it
I’ll pay you $20 for a copy of the CMT with scoring (either you score it or send me the scoring key)
Could you send that to me?
If I can find the time to send it to Ganzir I will send one to you too. But the idea of spending all day scanning it into a computer and making a PDF is anathema.
Nah that’s cool. Thought you had it in electronic form.
How long is it? And you could probably take a phone camera shot of each page
Form A, or Form T?
Good question. I have form T. I need to figure out which form Jensen took.
Ganzman, you mean Luca?
Correct. How’d you know?
@Ganznroses, I know him from his interview at in-sight and I remember you’d said you two are friends. I want to be his friend, too, but I’m afraid he’ll find me too dumb.
Oh, the interview. I completely forgot about that.
Pepe, for what it’s worth, I took a test online which I think (but am not certain) was the SPM. I scored 59/60. Where would that put me? Surely within one standard error of the ceiling anyway, right?
It would put you at the 95th percentile of Anglo American 16.5-year-olds in 1986.
email me a link to the test you took and I’ll tell you whether it’s the real SPM. I have the real one.
I wish lol, I’d have to go digging through Facebook shit and I’m not gonna
I would dig if I thought it mattered; but I don’t
Relevant fact: Bin Laden here completed a four-year degree in Civil Engineering (or maybe only 3 out of 4 years of it, sources aren’t consistent from what I’ve read)
Youre so clueless you quoted Bill Gates being clueles. Bill Gates pointed out the guy was dead because thats what an autistic person would almost say. i.e. I learned no lesson cos the guy is dead.
This method you always use is really fanciful. You basically equate IQ with fame by doing that.
The best proxy is what Ganzir said – the guy was doing civil engineering in a foreign language so I’m guessing 120s at a minimum.
ganzir to be honest with you you really dont seem all that intelligent. you dont really have good abstract thinking skills and i think you would do poorly in anything critical thinking wise.
im sure youre good with information though like basic comprehension and regurgitation of facts and crystallized abilities! but youre not cut out for thinking too deeply tbh.
Lol
hahah. gotta put the big boy in his place.
there are things i keep hidden away that i would never share with the world!
https://www.takimag.com/article/hardens-folly/
Thoughts? I don’t think Harden’s argument for helping the dumb is actually that bad and I personally hate my dad.
Its basically akin to the strong helping the weak. I think Sailer is not being charitable enough. But I also agree with Sailer that giving money to blacks because they’re dumber is stupid. I think citizenship should be a dividing line, but beyond that I’m against AA.
if eugenics would actually work and wouldn’t just be fitting people to their society rather than society to its people then it would not only be permissible it would be imperative.
pill expresses the national socialist opinion regarding the poor or disadvantaged. they’re part of the extended family that is the nation and therefore the nation is reponsible for them. the nation’s responsibility to its members is much greater than to those of other nations. “am i my brother’s keeper?” yes. but first you are your own brother’s keeper and second and third the keeper of someone unrelated to you. this is innate in humans and all animals. so even if it’s immoral, the alternative is perverted.
You just don’t get it Puppy. Flying a plane into a building isn’t a g loaded activity.
Didn’t say it was. Although it probably does take a certain spatial skill given the speed of the plane and the precision of the target.
Where are all my comments on social intelligence not being g loaded. Are they all banned because I’m right and you’re wrong?
Wrong about what? All I said was that social intelligence is positively correlated with intelligence. Anyone who denies that has neither.
Weakly correlated.
Moderately correlated. A lot of high IQ people are more socially smart than they seem and a lot of low IQ people only appear socially smart because they’re good looking, self-confident, and outgoing.
Then how do you explain autism?
Most autistics have low IQs,
130 on a 15 point standard deviation sounds about right.
So I’ve gone back into the labour market for the past month and a half and the market is very hot for workers. Even someone with my pockmarked background should be able to get a good job. In fact I expect I might get a pay rise despite being sacked by the Central Bank hahaha.
Its called information asymmetry, firms can’t tell if you’ve been fired unless they do some heavy duty research.

LOL the Czechs aren’t taking the accusations of being waycisth lying down!
bin laden is a yemeni. his height may be due disease. he had bad kidneys supposedly.
actually his mother was syrian.
so again: bin laden’s height is not so remarkable.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rony_Seikaly
If I had a nickel for everything Mug of Pee was wrong about. Penis size is more correlated with height than brain size is.
in hs i had this teacher i fapped to even though she was a dyke. she said, “the chinese are not short people.” she was wrong. the ancient mongolian warriors were tall, but even present day mongolians are short compared to europeans…but still a little taller and WAY more robust than all other ne asians, thus their total domination of sumo for the last 15+ years.
so in support of the recent selection theory for african american afaleticism…
the theory that black africans aren’t especially good athletes, just the descendants of slaves who are the product of eugenics…
the countries where the slaves came from are very short.
whereas black americans are about the same height as wypipo americans.
ever heard of first world nutrition making people taller?
montenegro is SECOND WORLD peepee…like most of the tallest wypipo countries.
^ Please tell your mother to take folic acid next time she gets pregnant
there’s a yuge gradation in chinastan.
so the manchus and inner mongolians are like the latvians, and the southern chinese are like the sicilians.
professor shoe has remarked on this.
so where stupid people see homogeneity where there is diveristy in the case of arabs…
stupid people see homogeneiety where there is diversity in the case of china, a country slightly bigger than the US in area.
tall people are shorter lived. i think this is mostly due to greater cancer risk, as supposedly, tall men are less likely to die from heart attack, even though tall men have higher bp.
did they control for weight? It could be that big people die younger & tall people tend to be bigger. Weight lifters die young too.
but…
the bmi with mimimum all cause mortality goes up with age until 80 if this greater bmi is associated with greater lean body mass too. maintaining lean body mass with age is very important for unknown reasons.
since people used to be shorter the shortness of very old people may be misleading.
here’s an article: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0024320502025031
but if a person is short because of malnutrition or disease i would expect him to have a shorter life expectancy. and the evidence is contradictory. some studies find more robust people live longer.
i expect with dogs so with people. the longest lived dog on average is the smallest, and the shortest lived is the largest. but the very oldest dogs on record are all medium sized like labradors.
but of course dogs have the greatest variance in body size of any species of mammal.
Well their variation is caused by artificial selection so who cares. Why are all dogs considered one species? Why are all living humans for that matter?
a prediction of the theory would be that first world/developed countries should have life expectancy correspond to average height, so spaniards and japanese should live longer than dutch or icelanders. in fact, there’s not much of a difference. so i guess what matters is how tall or short you are within your genetic group.
because they can have puppies retard.
So can lions and tigers dumb-dumb. So can humans and neanderthals. So can neanderthals and homo erectus. That’s too low a standard. And I’m not convinced all races of dog can interbreed.
https://www.quora.com/Is-it-true-that-Chihuahua-and-Mastiffs-dogs-can%E2%80%99t-interbreed-If-so-why
I don’t know about weight lifters specifically, but I would expect taller people to suffer greater strain on their cardiovascular system due to the square-cube law. That’s the same reason why women have faster resting heart rates than men, and why mice have way faster heart rates than blue whales (several hundred vs about ten beats per minute).
It might – MIGHT – also be that height correlates positively with testosterone, which correlates positively with aggression, which correlates positively with getting yourself killed in a turf war.
this article should be taken down as a “threat to public health”.

so epstein and assange…what do they have in common?
the treatment of epstein by government and media and the treatment of assange by government and media…
what do they have in common?
answer: together and individually they demonstrate that there are very powerful people who are evil (by “people” i don’t mean epstein or assange)…but who are these people? how do they have so much power?
the higher level of abstraction: there are conspiracies, but i don’t know exactly what they are. maybe i have no idea what they are. but i know that conspiracy of some kind is the only way to explain the phenomenon.
eric weinstein has made this same point.
crazy person has a conspiracy theory.
sane person has no theory except that there is a conspiracy.
Assange is an editor, he shouldn’t be legally tried for ‘treason’ or ‘espionage’ or whatever dumb fucking charge it is. The judge should throw it out if he isn’t biased, but since its the CIA, they will make sure the judge is enabled. He is being harassed not for what he has previously released but for what he COULD release as wikileaks editor.
Epstein is an example of what I have been talking about since day 1 – sexual blackmail in US politics by the danes. And I doubt he’s the only one.
But you explicitly denied Epstein was blackmailing for Danes, instead getting duped by Pizzagate & Alex Jones Sandy Hook conspiracies. Even autistics laugh at Pill’s social IQ.
Stop making up lies. I said Epstein was a honey trap from the start and the pizzagate stuff is too. I never backed the sandy hook conspiracy.
You rejected the notion that epstein was blackmailing for the danes on lion’s blog:
“So what do people think about whether sandy hook was staged?”__Philospher, Oct 16, 2019 https://pumpkinperson.com/2019/10/15/polygenic-iq-scores/#comment-145327
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! This is some next level social stupidity.
Both these comments are actually questions I asked you idiot. Not statements of opinion.
You asked because you thought sandy hook was a credible theory. What do you all think about the flat earth theory? Just asking.
eric weinstein has made this same point.
but as weinstein’s coethnic mike enoch has remarked…
the one conspiracy theory reddit deletes…
that’s the one conspiracy theory which is true.
Are there any free blog sites that you would strongly recommend? I’d like to transfer the contents of my now-languishing site to one a bit more contemporary (purely for posterity).

If blacks are found to be retarded like they supposedly are in africa, then they shouldn’t be given money just for being black. However, they should be given money for being retarded, as long as theyre a citizen and (b) as long as their social intelligence is also very limited.
As we all know from my debate with Puppy, social intelligence in blacks is actually way better than their IQ test scores and we have a whole continent of people in Africa that proves my point.
yes but the idea of coercing charitable giving is gross, it’s just that charities are even grosser.
maybe charities would work if they themselves were coreced into not being scams. (like a law that says 90% of your revenues have to go to the people you’re trying to help.)
but i doubt it.
government charity is simply much more efficient than private charity.
so because anyone given the power of coercion, a monopoly on the use of force will use it for evil, then no one should have such power…this is the libertardian answer.
“the best goverenment is that government which governs least” said jefferson. but he should also have said, “the best polity is that polity which needs the least governing.”
and what libertardians never admit is that they love government when it enforces private property rights.
so if a vagabond moves into your house you can call the police or just shoot him and get away with it.
you can see the libertarian retardedness very clearly in the highland clearances and enclosures of the 19th c…
so there are these lords with so much land and these poor people who will hunt on the lord’s land or pick a pear from one of the lord’s pear trees and be hanged for it. hanged by government.
of course land is a finite resource and with the unbelievable increase in farming efficiency this example is deemed UN-representative. but it does demonstrate that such is possible. that coerced charity isn’t necessarily so bad.
We had a brief problem with black immigration in the early 2000s. We had birthplace citizenship. Since we aren’t ruled by jews, we changed it immediately when pregnant women from africa were queuing up to give birth here. Americas original sin may well be birthplace citizenship.
which isn’t even a law but a judicial interpretation of the 14th amendment.
if judges followed original intent, birthright citizenship wouldn’t be a thing. the original intent of the 14th amendment was to make slaves full citizens not encourage birth tourism.

Funny how the government will interfere in the free market when labour has a chance to finally charge rents.
there are no long term labor shortages in a free market economy. but in the short term too few lorry drivers could be a real problem. in america truck drivers are still overwhelmingly natives. apparently they have to speak english well enough. so ESL immigrants don’t compete.
No Mug of Pee, it’s because illegals have a hard time getting U.S. driver’s licence. My IQ is so much higher than yours!
^^^except i know from EXPERIENCE that YOU ARE WRONG^^^
you hear things when you have a job which isn’t making sandwiches.
ESLs have been tried as truck drivers and unless they’re sikhs they’re way too much trouble.
Need to speak English to know when the light is green.
Unless I’m wearing a turban in which case I just know.
Dumbass
peepee works in the service sector. sad.
False. I’m in the highest occupational status group.
no peepee. i only know what i hear.
apparently truck drivers need to be able to do a lot more than drive a truck.
Puppy occupational status groups aren’t ranked.
But when they are mine’s on top
pp, how does manic depressive bipolar disorder affect intelligence?
I feel that energy levels are important to how one functions in intelligence.
I always feel in a low state.
my self-reflective thinking process is blocked,
I have what they call a mental block
or maybe libertardians want to be like ZA farmers who can’t depend on their government…can only depend on their guns.
not a good life!
actually peepee might be semi-right. it may be CDLs have federal regulations because interstate commerce whereas cab licenses don’t, or cabbies don’t even need a license anymore with uber et al…my brother got fored once because he’s tested +mj. it wasn’t company policy. it was a law for companies with federal contracts passed under reagan.
i just remmeber hearing that some trucking company thought it would save money by hiring mexicans and found it the hard way that oprah was a genocidal lesbian.
New offshore data leak out now. Puppy will say forbes knew about all this using google previously LOL
in general monopolies eliminate marketing expense.
so, in general, bidnesses with very little marketing expense have “the right to exist”…in terms of economic efficiency.
bidnesses with yuge selling, general, and administrative expense…these are bidinesses which should not exist…be done by government…where “should” means “because more efficient/ more wealth creating”.
Intelligence is apparently self-awareness according to normies.
what is it to you?
i am a materialist so i think just absorbing information and then finding ways to use it efficiently as possible right?
I view it as self-regulation, self-organizing. arrangement and putting things together to better survive. thinking which is modulation between perception and action.
highly intellectual.
Libertarians don’t like it when you ask about disabled people in their model. Basis of liberetardedness is that everyone has equality of opportunity not equality of outcome but of course that pre supposes a certain corporeal state.
but even taking account of characteristics which would be disabling in all times and places isn’t enough. there are some who would achieve a lot more in different times and places, and some a lot less. libertarians lack the insight to see the just world phenomenon operating in their own minds, so far as they have such.
the point is arguing about political abstractions is retarded and/or dishonest when the constituion of the polity is barred from consideration. just as some individuals would do relatively better or worse at different times and places, the same is true of polities and types of government.
i’d bet that icelanders don’t give a shit about political theories, theories of government.
there are some who would achieve a lot more in different times and places,
First achieve ANYTHING in ANY place and time. THEN you can have an opinion.
Pepe, don’t throw shade on my buddy Mug of Pee. He’s achieved better communication skills than any of his peers since Koko
LOL
Chris Langan said Koko was smarter than most of Africa LOL.
Whites are the most inbred pieces of shit on the planet how come their IQ hasnt been reduced to zero!
LOaded wtf are you talking about. Theyre the least inbred because of the catholic church. Actually your people are the most inbred objectively.
Low IQ is maybe a special type of disability because its relative to the ability of what others have out there. I’m conflicted because low IQ is as much a personality trait as a kind of state of matter. Generally we don’t see personality traits as disabilities but there are exceptions.
No IQ is not a personality trait, it’s an ability. Personality traits are things like extraversion, openness, conscientiousness etc.
IQ has such pervasive effects on someone’s predicted life outcomes that, in a psychometric sense, I consider it more of a personality trait than any of the Big Five.
Call it what you want, but cognitive tests are conceptually and statistically distinct from personality tests.
How are they statistically distinct? Don’t they all use the same statistical psychometric methods to establish their validity and interpret their results?
The difference is personality test items are subjective and have no right answer (do you prefer to attend parties or read books?) while ability tests are objective and have right answers (what’s 1 + 1?)
And that’s how a Marxist sociology professor wrote a diatribe calling pumpkinperson racist for failing to consider alternative cultural viewpoints of arithmetic
Seriously, though: I see the difference, but I’m so used to thinking in psychometric abstractions that the idea of an objective right answer is almost lost on me in this context. All I see is a 0 to 1 ready to be input into statistics software.
[redacted by pp, 2021-10-06] a debate you paper it over [redacted by pp, 2021-10-06]
If you want to debate then you can do so politely. I’m not responding to ad hominem.
What youre talking about is called measurement fetish. Just because you measure something a certain way doesn’t mean it behaves in only that way. Imagine subtracting 50 IQ points from say Oprah, it would seriously effect her personality. Publish this.
Non sequitur: just because A affects B does not mean A is a part of B. Height and beauty affect personality but they’re not personality traits.
You can call intelligence a personality trait if you want but it’s important to distinguish it from big 5 personality traits.
Height and beauty dont affect personality. It not the right analogy.
They affect your self-confidence/arrogance which are personality traits. Another analogy is being drunk affects personality but is not a personality trait.
personality is objective even though it may lack measurability
Being drunk is an even worse analogy. Thats something external effecting the thing studied.
Look, a person’s cognition is a fundamental part of the way a person interacts with other people. This is especially the case with social intelligence.
in my personal observation intelligence is inherent and is built on its ability to function without any personality impacting it. you can be an intelligent entity without any personality and that would be someone void of personal motivations or orientations that can recognize the things around them when prompted to but otherwise has no inclination to do so.
personality is your reaction to self awareness and is driven by your individually-tailored perceptions of the world but does not reinforce all perceptions you may have. intelligence is how you perceive and understand so it is then an ability because you can change how you use it but it is not modifiable or fluid in how the outcome will be.
because intelligence is the collective level of perception of the world it is distinct from personality because personality only pertains to the perceptions you allow to drive your scenario-based actions with.
intelligence refines personality and vice versa (at least how the former is utilized as well as possessed) and both are abilities due to how processing situational information is dependent on how they are manipulated and thus adapted to their purpose.
my personal analogy would be language. personality is vocabulary and intelligence is grammar. both are necessary to convoluting a language and thus serve a purpose.
Intelligence is the brain’s problem solver. Personality is the problems we need to solve. So in that sense you’re correct that without personality we’d be “void of personal motivations”
Interesting fact, I’m technically considered to have a disability being schizotypal.
You should estimate John von Neumann’s IQ.
If I had to name just one person whom I seriously believe could have an I.Q. in excess of 180 (normalized, compared to current adult Western population), John von Neumann would be it.
Doesn’t Chris Langan have a 200IQ?
Nahhh
Chris Langan is the most wasted potential in the world. did nothing with his life nor did he positively affect anyone elses.
PP according to you, who is/was the smartest person ever?
Puppy will say himself
Oprah.
That would be 150 IQ Ganzir, obviously
S Tier: Tesla, von Neumann, Gauss, Newton, Ramanujan, Sidis, Kim Ung-Yong, Jacob Barnett
Basically people with inhuman ability to conceive, compute, and remember. I didn’t know much about von Neumann, but apparently he’s the LeBron of mental ability and a based right-winger.
If archaeologists dig up my skill in 40,000 years, they might present it as evidence of a previously unknown hominid species.
Still waiting on a more accurate method of estimating cranial capacity than plugging my head circumference into a formula, but I think my brain must be 1900cc at least, and probably more like 2050-2200
I think it’ll be ~2000cc. Can you request a skull scan for an estimation?
autism personified?
I’ve thought of that and I’d like too, but I’m guessing that whoever has a high-quality brain scanning machine doesn’t lend it out for recreational purposes, nor would it be cheap. Even then, I don’t know if it would give a single brain-volume metric, at least without additional programming.
like to*
Some mri studies report internal cranial capacity, but the subject pipeline is not easy to manually access.
Subject pipeline? Like the information it outputs into a report?
Subject as in the people who are the subject of the research, the ones put in the machines to be scanned. Pipeline as in the selection process which leads to inclusion in a study or even a one-off test. Normal medical MRI probably doesn’t offer it so you’d have to know the right people to be non-randomly selected.
off-topic to this part of the thread but relevant to others is that IQ increases and decreases throughout civilizational cycles. this means that at one point white IQ was very low and only saw itself become what it is today or reach its paramount during the Victorian years because of the factors that whites created for themselves by putting other cultures throughout the world at risk of destruction.
not only that but another reason white intelligence is relatively high nowadays is because the conformist attitudes the West had (all cultures have them some more than others and it varies in which ones they have to begin with) put intelligence as being valuable and thus meritocracy and government-type also selected for IQ in whites.
LOL has anyone read about the rise of the alt right jewish guy in France to the top of the polls? I can’t believe it! France has a saviour Bruno and hes a Mizrahi jew hahaha crazy.
Demmour might be the sole politician from the right with mainstream credibility to endorse the Great Replacement theory (which is objectively true).
Pill whites may not be the most inbred *actually they might be in america and canada) but their success is mainly due to colonization which a) gave them resources to raise their IQ from the levels it was in pre-Columbian times and b) due to having religious orders in place to prevent them from dumbing themselves down like you mentioned.
also i would take into account that (a) affected (b) more than vice versa since (a) triggered (b) and because all white success can be dated past 1500 coincidentally shortly after Columbus and other explorers started making their impct on European wealth.
if there was no exploitation going on by those folks then you wouldve never seen white intelligence rise nor white genius become prevalent. also the average white person lacks solid critical thinking skills. it is a small portion of the population who had strong efects on the society around them and thus built the modern West.
same could be said with Jews honestly. if it were not for a few factors coinciding with luck we would never see Jewish success either and Jewish success in the West is a lot more powerful than white success in building it into the modern day.
All my life people have said ad hominem is irrational….and I’ve always had to correct them and say its actually rational to adopt it.
Marsha is ad hominem irrational?
it’s not that ad hom or argument to authority aren’t valid. it’s just that they’re the weakest form of argument…when there are others…
but sometimes they’re the only form/type of argument and thus, “i don’t trust this guy” or “because an expert says so” is the only thing people have to go by.
and very often, like every day, one must make decisions without any “good” reasons.
I might buy Pinker’s new book. It sounds juicy for my brain. yum yum
Im sorry Ganzir, but all my life, of all the stem professions, I find computer scientists to be the least intellectually able people. I think maybe 50% of them are libertarians which automatically means they are retarded, at least from a social perspective.
Overall id say im ten times smarter than Pumpkin. He honestly might be the least intelligent person on the blog!
I agree you’re ten times smarter than me. NEGATIVE ten.
Now, theoretical physicists, thats a different story. If someone tells me they are a theoretical physicist I greatly reduce the chances of them being a libertarian.
yes. highest IQ by GRE scores are physics, math, chemistry, and philosophy iirc.
CS isn’t even hard. it’s just incredibly TEDIOUS.
i mean CS has its own math courses like philosophy has its own logic courses…both totally milktoast compared to the courses by the math department.
Is it just me or are germans particularly autistic people?
that is obvious if you’ve ever met a german in america. the nerdiest most autistic kid in school is less nerdy and autistic than the german exchange student. sad.
this is why nazism was partly something intrinsically german. in a country of autists, obedience is substituted for social intelligence. an ant has no social intelligence, for example, but it’s an ant. so you get totalitarianism in germany but nowhere else in europe except russia.
and autists can’t be comedians. literally. so you get the stereotype that germans have no sense of humor.
arnold is probably the single most charismatic person from the deutschsprach ever except for hitler of course.
Being a pollster is not a particularly high level job puppy. Theres no way I’d rank that at the top of a professions list.

sad.
but in reality, as sailer wouldn’t let me post,
all or almost all of the horrible evil shit the nazis did was actually done by a very small but HIGHLY indoctrinated group, the SS.
the equivalent in the successor state to the russian empire, the soviet union, was the cheka.
but chekists had to fear for their own lives too. whereas, according to christopher browning, there is no record of anyone being punished for saying, “uhhh. yeah. i don’t like jews (or slavs or…) either. but i’m not gonna do that.” these people were just reassigned.
but in the war this brings up another yuge motivation for lager and tod(t)lager SS.
they didn’t have to fight. where death may’ve been almost assured.
another comment sailer wouldn’t allow: of the 7 commandants of the todtlagers, only 2 survived the war…stangl and franz.
ancient history isn’t ancient.
germany was never part of the roman empire.
so it has an inferiority complex.
and people like afro have a superiority complex…even though he’s not french.
“you’re being silly mugabe. the romam empire doesn’t matter anymore.” — peepee
where is the roman church ascendant in western europe still?
where has it been replaced?
it’s just another map of the roman empire?
well there’s poland and there’s lithuania. and ireland.
the church of england is just “even gay-er/more homosexual romanism”. it’s pathetic. i mean it was founded by henry VIII because 8 wives weren’t enough. henry VIII loved NASCAR just like the queen.
