I love these therapy scenes from the director’s cut version of Rob Zombie’s Halloween II. Although no one can replace Jamie Lee Curtis as the original Laurie Strode, actress Scout Taylor-Compton really makes the part her own as she slowly descends into Marxist madness in Zombie’s remakes. Zombie felt that since Strode is the sister of Michael Myers, she should have a little psycho in her too which is a very valid assumption given what we know about regression to the mean.
Indeed if Myers was five standard deviations above the mean in criminal insanity (one in several million level), we’d expect his sister to be +5(0.5) = +2.5 SD (one in 200 level), even though his sister was raised in a much better home (in Zombie’s version).
Of course Rob Zombie probably can’t do a math equation to save his life, but his social intelligence tells him this intuitively. Similarly, an autistic might go their whole life never noticing that mental illness runs in families, but they can use math to achieve that understanding. Math is arguably the highest form of intelligence, because everything, even social dynamics, can be reduced to numbers.
Margot Kidder is great as the therapist and reminds me of my own (now retired) therapist who would also try to ease my anxiety with relaxation exercises I didn’t care for, but I would never have talked to my therapist the way Laurie talks to hers. I have too much respect for her.
I love the way Laurie starts talking about a guy dressed as Frankenstein and even though there was nothing crazy about what she was saying, the manic way in which she was saying it causes the psychiatrist to become alarmed. It’s such attention to social details that makes Zombie a great director.
I also love there being no trees on the leaves outside, thus looking like Halloween in the Midwest. Rob Zombie’s Halloween II is the most atmospheric film in the entire franchise, despite being the most polarizing.

“Rob Zombie probably can’t do a math equation to save his life.”
I wonder what you are basing this on. While most celebrities strike me as total morons, Zombie strikes me as fairly bright. His films are very well made for what they are. His veganism suggests he is high in empathy, which seems to correlate strongly with intelligence, and he is clearly an atheist based on his stated lack of belief in the supernatural, specifically the afterlife. He also has an estimated net worth of 50 million, all of which is self made.
If you meant Zombie likely doesn’t have much of a mathematical education, I guess I agree. it’s not like he has a degree from MIT or anything. But I wouldn’t be surprised to learn he has a solid comprehension of mathematics and several other subjects via self education.
I doubt Zombie is smart in the MIT graduate way. He made his career in music before going into directing. I’d say Rob is above average though.
PP, Do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend?
Why would a straight man have a boyfriend?
because youre not really straight. how do you define heterosexuality? most people are not even close to being straight in our culture.
as the last neurotypical left i have a vendetta against those who categorize themselves hypocritically because that is the defeatist mindset setting in for them.
Look Puppy I don’t often give you life advice but you need to be able to tell a socially intelligent person from a moron like you and anime or Bruno or some other freak. Watch Donald Trump interviews and understand how someone good at sales talks.
pill, you don’t get it. In the eyes of the upper class, Trump was considered a total joke & buffoon. That’s why the media gave him endless free publicity. When Obama was asked if he could picture Trump as President he said “I could picture it in a Saturday Night Live skit”. If I were to tell any of my neighbours or colleagues that Trump was a Genius, they’d laugh in my face. You don’t understand how elites think:
Trump has the same IQ as Christopher Hitchens which is 165
Clinton is just 145
Trump is a genius, socially.
He’s a genius at manipulating working class whites but he can be socially dumb in other ways. Also a lot of people voted for him as a joke. It’s like when my pseudo-retarded friend gave a speech in the 5th grade, it was so hilariously idiotic that the whole class voted for him to represent our school. The teacher decided to then do a blind vote & pretended some other student won.
You just don’t get it. Nobody voted for Trump as a joke. What are you talking about? Do you understand politics? What are you watching CNN? Trumps voters voted for him because he said what they thought and he was intelligent enough socially to game it.
“he can be socially dumb in other ways”
No he isn’t. You can’t name one way.
Sitting red-faced & angry while Obama mocked him at the WHCD instead of laughing along with the crowd was socially dumb & made him look weak.
Going on a month long tirade witlessly calling Rosie O’Donnel fat and ugly over and over after she skillfully mocked him in a comedy act was socially dumb & made him look weak.
These are mistakes no other billionaire would make.
A lot of people also voted for him as a middle finger to the establishment: We hate you so much we’ll support a clown over you.
Do you think Sarah Palin was a social genius too?
At my aunt’s senior center, I saw Trump on tv. He said, “I won’t let you down”. That was when I knew he could be trusted.
phill agrees, you can’t trust Hillary.
Sarah Palin is a total loser. She was chosen because she was photogenic by McCain. Otherwise no talent compared to Trump. Youre just regurgitating CNN talking points about why Trump won. If CNN is so wise then why didn’t Hilary win?
Unlike Trump who inherited hundreds of millions of dollars & his father’s brand, Palin’s a self-made woman who came from nothing to be governor of a state and was the most worshipped conservative in America before Trump. You could argue she paved the way for Trump as both were heroes to non-college whites and Christian zionists.
“Sitting red-faced & angry while Obama mocked him at the WHCD instead of laughing along with the crowd was socially dumb & made him look weak.”
Puppy read this analysis in the NYT. If the NYT was so smart, then why does the video look great and prescient now??
I don’t read the NYT unless it’s a science article. It was all over the media & social media at the time. Liberals were jumping for joy about how Trump got owned at the WHCD. It’s widely believed that the only reason he ran for president was to avenge that humiliation.
Look at the video puppy. He’s actually smiling at Obama’s jokes.
But he does it so awkwardly. He just hasn’t acquired the basic social graces that other elites execute so effortlessly. He just looks so ridiculous in the middle of the room with everyone around him laughing at him. He lost so much face that night and to a black man to boot.
Did you ban robert? He seems awfully quiet after his aneurysm over Tesla.
No he’s just tired of your autism.
Because you actually have medical autism, you don’t understand the way Robert means it. Its basically interchangeable with the the word ‘stupid’ in his head which is not the way I mean it. When I call someone autistic its because they either have full on autism like a certain commenter we have here or aspergers which you and a few others have.
Yes pill, we all know he’s a troll. The fact that you think that requires explaining shows autism
Trump is an idiot savant. he lets other people handle his responsibilities for him by exploiting their beliefs about themselves and by playing into whatever delusions they might have about themselves.
he does not have anywhere close to a 165 IQ its pretty impractical to even estimate it above a 125.[redacted by pp, 2021-11-05]
he doesnt really reflect a competent leader either he just has the gravitas to make people succumb to his grandiosities. he gives a candid perspective on things and always shares his own perspective on things because he was raised to always speak his mind probably his best asset.
Biden doesnt do this at all he is usually unexpressive of his own ideas because the people around him have an agenda this is the opposite for Trump.
Trump is a decent critical thinker because he is given the ability to speak whatever he thinks is true without criticism from his supporters therefore he will arrive at the answer sooner or later after multiple attempts at trying to guess the right answer to things.
he is pretty transparent so you can see him at his full display he just pretends that there are other stuff that is hidden which is not true at all and people interpret it as more to it than what is in front of them.
from this we can conclude that people are misattributing greatness to this individual when in fact he is mediocre and relies heavily on this strategy to gain traction with whomever he is dealing with.
it is a great big bluff that we must become aware of.
Honestly Loaded, youre not going to like this comment so I just want to preface this. Loaded basically, youre stupid. And not in the autism way certain people here are, I mean stupid in the conventional way.
No I think youre stupid in quite a few ways
There’s a phone game called BitLife which has a prison escape minigame that I bet would be a great spatial IQ test. Here’s a video of hard mode (maximum security):
Puppy you should probably read the Scott Adams blog to get a more nerdy analysis than I can give for why Trump is a bonafide social genius. Adams calls them Master Persuaders. If you want an expert on social intelligence read Adams blog, especially his 2016 posts when he predicted Trump would become president after the elevator speech based on his social skills alone.
Adams has autism.
Adams is INTJ
domesticated trained animal autist like peepee: don’t you know how you look to other people?
autist like …: really. i had no idea. i’m so embarrassed.
trump: tell me something i don’t know peepee/CNN/(((media))).
remember the old days when i wasn’t the only commenter?
all the others left or peepee banned them after they discovered peepee’s secret, that she is a black woman.
sad.
Oprah HATES horror movies
Sounds like something Oprah would say if she were secretly running an HBD blog… Hmm
Mugabe just made me laugh after an AWFUL day.
God bless you, Mugabe ❤️
Pill Mug or other users can you tell me why you think im stupid dumb or whatever and why you feel the need to tell me im not doing anything important?
i would like to know from any commenter here who doesnt like me to tell me why. theres a lot of hate on here for no reason (the hate is basically fake on all your parts) and i think it stems from a sense of insecurity.
if it is not insecurity then tell the people in plain words what makes you believe the beliefs you have about me!
Loaded can tell me the website loaded supposedly commented on?
i think you mean Fenoopy and i will only do so if PP promises to stop censoring my comments. it is so ignorant that i put my two cents in and he only posts the one he agrees with isnt that manipulation of the facts?
also i dont even get to speak my mind and just come off as awfully dull since my ability to express myself becomes limited because of it. i hate Pumpkin’s intolerance of things that he does not believe in simply because he feels like its wrong or whatever. like yes you have a blog to maintain but when im contributing something i dont want to feel alienated by the pressures of the blog owner to only post stuff he wants on there.
if youre going to do that Pumpkin then start paying me for my contributions because im sure there are plenty of readers who come here simply for the content of others and not yours!
yes i meant him lol.
if you want to negociate with pumpkinperson you could perhaps put your thoughts in a journal and copy paste them into larger posts so that the blog algorythm doesnt discard the posts before pp can even review them. you dont spam as much today but i would suspect it annoyed him.
okay well to warn you some of the subject matters are pretty graphic and who knows if Fenoopy is still there its a very populated forum and people come and go all the time.
shoot me your email and i can provide you details if youre still interested.
the 9th highest rated chess player in the world is only 18 and an iranian. wouldn’t it be cool if he played a jew for the world chess championship and crushed him?
How can that be explained if Iran has an average IQ in the 80s as HBDers say?
I remember one of the smartest people in the super high IQ-o-sphere was Iranian. We had a heated debate.
Simple:
1. Chess isn’t that g-loaded. It probably relies more on specific talents, like spatial working memory, which is correlated, what, 0.6 with g? I read a study where typical chess masters averaged IQ ~115, so about on par with typical college students. It might be different for the very top grandmasters, but I doubt they have higher g-loadings than, say, Nobel Prize winners.
2. Distributions usually stop being normal at the extreme high end, so occasionally you’ll get someone further removed from the mean than the Gaussian distribution would predict ever occurring.
I’m still sceptical. Didn’t the Irish used to score in the 80s before attaining parity with the English today?
Does he come from a well-off family? The average IQ can be be suppressed by environment without elite IQ being much suppressed.
smart fraction is a thing and yes in a population youll find extremes on both ends. im sure there are very very dumb people in the country of iran and there is a similar number of equally very very smart people.
this is true of any country and the only reason you dont find very many successful people in a certain activity is either one of two reasons the first being a lack of meritocracy where people who are the most intelligent having a means to reach the top and therefore attain success in a contributing field and the second being a lack of resources for people leading to malnutrition and other societally devastating things that suppress intelligent people from reaching their full potential.
you can even talk about assortative mating where if a meritocracy exists to some extent smart people will find other smart people to marry thus making their offspring potentially smarter than both parents with greater wealth from their intelligent parents who can then provide for their endeavors.
What I’m confused about is how tests which purport to measure fundamental processes e.g. memory capacity and speed, can have such low g loadings? You’d think speed and memory are common to all mental processes and are therefore highly g-loaded.
Obviously they’re imperfect measures. Maybe it’s that items on the WAIS don’t tax working memory enough to induce bottlenecking and at a high level of abstraction where you’re juggling many concepts at once working memory becomes a lot more g-loaded.
The WAIS does a terrible job measuring working memory. True working memory includes an executive functioning component like in the n back test. though that’s probably too hard for most people.
Do you know anyone who has gone all out in measuring as many abilities as possible in individuals?
I dont hate any race of people aside from [c word redacted by pp, 2021-11-06] quite honestly. their culture is so shitty and their people are down-syndrome looking retards with no politeness or concern for others.
zero shred of respect for anyone and a need to be ignorant. they come off as being in their own worlds and without having a backbone to stand up for anything since their worldview and scope of interests resonates with almost nothing.
i would equate their self-worth as being ultimately guided by greed and dominance. a need to win everything. a competitiveness that comes from an ego that cannot be satiated without accomplishment which then would need to be rewarded.
of course they have a lot of cooperation with others the way in which they are intelligent. they know they cannot do things by themselves so they have developed an incredible level of self control and delay of gratification. this leads them to be future oriented and they use this to cooperate with others to get the ultimate goal accomplished.
although the above is true they dont seem to have a lot of drive and ability so they just become satiated very easily by things.
the jews are almost anti-asians in many ways but with a few similarities. jews are cooperative with only a small group of people or only operate individually. they are filled with the need for success and attainment like asians but do not necessarily conform to the values of others. conformity is a big part of asian culture obviously.
jews are ultimately individualists but are not hellbent on personal domination. this is different from asians who are inclined to dominate and seek out power for practicality. jews believe in dominating for the sake of accomplishing other things that are in their scope of interest.
TM please let me know what exactly youre requesting. oftentimes i feel obligated to keep my promise. i have a lot of things i have been thinking deeply about for myself and cant seem to find a great way to put it altogether yet although ive made great progress in my absolute understanding of myself and the world.
i wanted to comment on this blog as if it was a personal diary. this place is filled with likeminded people in many ways despite many of them objecting to having any affinity for me.
some things i have always thought about are how people treat me vs. how they treat themselves. or how i treat myself vs. how i treat others. another thing that fascinates me is how people are usually quick to assume things.
fundamentally we should all be very kind to everyone and understanding of things. for example i feel like we limit the abilities of many by making them live a reality where they cannot fully feel the things they want to feel. if we change that and just let freedom of expression thrive we will see great results in the lives of those around us including ourselves firstly!
My dad told me a story about some white trash scumbags that had shot an endangered bird for the fun of it, I think a bald eagle, which was totally against the law since they did it in a national park. Rather than confront them about it, he asked them to hold it up for the camera while he took a picture, ensuring that their license plate was in the frame. I’m sure the park ranger appreciated that
I’ve sank 150 hours into Assassins Creed Valhalla and I’ve still a long way to go. I’ve never played a game this long before. This is crazy value for €60.
One thing thats really different about the alt right compared to older conservatives is the role of religion. I’m pretty sure the alt right is 90% atheist/agnostic/don’t care. Not sure how that will play out.
https://www.efinancialcareers.ie/news/2021/11/how-to-get-a-job-in-a-hedge-fund
So asians are overrepresented in hedge funds by double their share of the population. HBD at work. I bet jews are vastly overrepresented.
Since you read Toni Morrison books, I estimate you have a bottom 5% social intelligence level.
No pill, reading Toni Morrison (or in my case watching the movie) shows we side with the underdog which shows compassion, & the social intelligence to virtue signal which gains us status. You’re too psychopathic to feel compassion for underdogs & too autistic to know how to virtue signal or understand the status hierarchy, so you’re confused by our current woke culture, like an ape lost in a sea of humans.
You just don’t get it. 5 years of me commenting and you are still stuck on level 1 of social understanding. The reason you even read Toni Morrison is because you were brainwashed by jews into giving her a chance. If she was a muslim writing about israeli oppression in palestine it would never even be published. It takes more social intelligence to understand manipulation by Master than just blindly following what Oprah and the NYT book review says. Do you think Donald Trump reads Toni Morrison? Case closed.
So because books about Palestinian suffering can’t be published, liking a book/movie about black suffering is social retarded? Have you any idea how dumb you sound? So if an Arab librarian decides to put a book about Palestinian suffering on the front shelf and I happen to read it and like it, would I then have been brainwashed by Arabs?
Meanwhile Trump, who rips up the Iran nuclear deal and leaves half his fortune to Jewish grandkids, is your God.

This is a total car crash. This is what happens when neoliberalism reaches its end goal – creating debt serfs out of dummies. The people signing up for a $115k online social work degree are totally stupid so this is HBD in action too. You have to have a low IQ to think that degree was worth that much.
The interesting thing about american capitalism is that its never managed to en-serf the black underclass in debt bondage like what happened in Europe in the late middle ages. I’m surprised. Maybe their are regulations against it that I don’t know about.
After the slaves won freedom, what was to stop them selling themselves or other blacks back into slavery?

Wow, do the jews really believe their own bullshit about diversity? A black editor? A black deputy editor? Only 1 jew in the executive team? What am I missing puppy?
they’re all vetted by the jews at the top moron. if they say anything about jews they’re fired.
