Since today is Halloween, I thought I’d discuss the IQ of the king of horror, Stephen King; probably the most successful writer in the history of the genre. When asked what his SAT scores were King replied, in the 1300s. During the the 1960s (when King would have taken the test) the SAT was much more difficult than today. I estimated that if the SAT had been given to all American 17-year-olds in the 1960s (and not just the college bound elite), the mean would have been 760 and the standard deviation about 245; thus a score in the 1300s implies an IQ of anywhere from 133 to 139 (U.S. norms). Let’s split the difference and say 136. That’s higher than over 99% of Americans and speaks to the powerful connection between IQ and creativity, even in a field as non-academic as horror.
To put King’s score in perspective, the average SAT score at Harvard (the most elite school in the World) in 1960 was 1373 equating to an IQ of 138, however Harvard students by definition scored high on the SAT or they wouldn’t be Harvard students so their IQs would likely regress to the 120s (on average) on a randomly selected test. By contrast, for King the SAT was a random test so his 136 would likely not much regress, leaving him to tower not only above 99% of Americans, but even above the average Harvard student!
How does King compare to other super successful writers? When Amy Tan, author of The Joy Luck Club was asked her SAT scores, she replied 1150, which, also in the 1960s, would have equated to an IQ of 124. Based on his memories of taking the WAIS-R I estimated that journalist, author and Fortune Magazine editor Daniel Seligman would have clocked in at IQ 128. JD Salinger scored 104 on an IQ test according to his biography though many find this hard to believe.
So on a scale where Americans average IQ 100 with an SD of 15, great writers seem to average around 119 with an SD of 13. Thus even in a field of creative super achievers, King is a king.
Great scene from Stephen King’s Creepshow (note the kid in the scene is played by King’s real son):
Pumpkin Person 
Yeah hes great. My favourite was The Stand. Even though the leader of the god faction was a magic negro.
my favorite writers are Dostoyevsky Voltaire Tolkien and Arthur C Clarke. you may assume i cant understand these authors 4 whatever reason but i think i can.
i am an imaginative thinker. i like forecasting ahead of time. i think i can be a great writer.
i wrote a short story in 8th grade called the Mafia and it came out really well.
i love writing ideas and perspectives.
i think Stephen King is a decent author and i like his works. im more in tune with the European writings though.
sometimes i like thorough writing but others require perspectives from the readers that can be excellent.
Now that smelly and useless (to any society) muslims are targeting jews in western universities….the entire jewish media is going to turn against muslims in the west.
im not a supporter of Muslims even though i was raised 2 believe in the religion its kind of circumstantial 2 keep mentioning that.
but Hindus are just dirty dirty people. lowlife scum who have no respect 4 anything better in this world.
most of them are rightfully impoverished and live terrible lives. many of them are attacked by all types of people.
Hindus have no respect from any group of people. and its not limited 2 their religion im talking about the ethnic groups of people there.
their sole purpose is 2 procreate as many idiots like you as possible and have no stability in this world.
you are useless Name. your whole religion and ethnic background is useless. how is it hard 2 accept the consequences?
From my purview, a Hindi person is probably more likely to be dirty and not follow proper etiquette and a Muslim is more likely to be completely inflexible and obsessed and murder/rape someone. I’d prefer they both stay away from White/Christian countries. We already have Mexicans in the US so why do we Muslims or Hindis?
I’d rather have more East Asians.
and i personally would like 2 keep whites and east asians with their constant imperialism and need 2 dominate other people away from our countries and not only that but these assholes need 2 stop meddling in our affairs 2.
but none of this is very practical so itll never happen. i mean whites and east asians play dirty so im sure theyll do something crazy 2 shift the blame away but i think the other factor with the realm of keeping whites and east asians from meddling in other groups affairs is rather limited.
Loaded, one thing i noticed about you is you apply all the characteristics of muslims like dirtiness, smelliness, no etiquette, no lack of contribution to the societies they live in etc…to hindus.
You are living in an alternate universe.
Lurker, the land you live in belongs to native americans , not ‘white christian’. So you cannot tell us to stay out. Plus we (hindus mostly not muslims who are mostly coming to live off of you) are coming as immigrants and contributing something to your society unlike you ppl who came as looters, plunderers, pillagers to brown and black countries. Now you are telling us to stay out? Wow!
Name, you are not really smart enough or well-read enough to have a conversation like that.
Suffice to say, there was no land that was “belonging” to anyone except in the sense of killing/defending against other tribes. Whites did less of that than other groups.
Show me a city as polluted as any of the large cities in India or a river as bad as the Ganges in a majority White nation. Europeans haven’t done it to their own countries, nor have they done to the countries they “plundered”, and Native Americans still exist, so I guess they must be pretty good caretakers.
Face the facts Name: Indians are stupid/culturally deficient, and if they migrated anywhere in massive numbers they would pollute everything around them. They are incapable of sustaining a modern city or population at this point.
You dont have a single brain cell. If defending/killing against other tribes means the land doesnt belong to native americans then europe too doesnt belong to europeans because europeans did the same for millenia before wearing trousers and conquering other lands.
Native americans still exist so that means they weren’t plundered? My god. You are of negative intelligence not zero intelligence.
Indian cities are polluted so that indicates they cant sustain themselves? India has twice the population of europe on a land six times smaller than europe with money twenty times lesser than europe (guess to whom they lost that money to?). It is the world’s hardest country to govern. When it got independence in 1947 90% of the people were illiterate and in rural areas. And every state had its own language. How is one supposed to turn it into a developed country by now? In 75 years with a billion and a half population? Yet it is rapidly developing and improving. That said, even europe took 300 years to become a developed land from a developing land despite getting money from its colonies.
Regarding the filthy rivers i want to say one more thing: london and New york were covered with horse shit at the turn of the 20th century.
“You dont have a single brain cell. If defending/killing against other tribes means the land doesnt belong to native americans then europe too doesnt belong to europeans because europeans did the same for millenia before wearing trousers and conquering other lands.”
I don’t support physical tribal conflict but it isn’t not some inborn right to be free of it. It is up to the civilization themselves to uphold those rights. Clearly the Natives in America were not members of some United Nation.
“Native americans still exist so that means they weren’t plundered? My god. You are of negative intelligence not zero intelligence.”
Name the thing they had that was plundered.
“Indian cities are polluted so that indicates they cant sustain themselves?”
Uh… yeah?
“India has twice the population of europe on a land six times smaller than europe with money twenty times lesser than europe (guess to whom they lost that money to?).”
Who does that money go to? Not 99.99% of Europeans. Maybe ask your leaders?
But that would require Indians en masse to have some sort of actual revolutionary spirit to challenge their corrupt leaders. LOL.
Having a lot of people does NOT make your case look good. It literally supports Indians being backwards. Even with that many people, they can’t figure out how to solve their problems… in comparison to Europeans who have a lower population across the world, than Indians.
“It is the world’s hardest country to govern. When it got independence in 1947 90% of the people were illiterate and in rural areas. And every state had its own language. How is one supposed to turn it into a developed country by now? In 75 years with a billion and a half population?”
So apparently they cannot turn it into a developed country but they can pollute it in that time? That’s because of low IQ/low moral standards.
“Yet it is rapidly developing and improving. That said, even europe took 300 years to become a developed land from a developing land despite getting money from its colonies.”
“Europe” did not get money from its colonies (which BTW was obviously paltry in comparison to modern GDPs). Certain aristrocrats, bankers, and merchants did.
Colonized brown people love to talk about how great colonization was for us, yet they ask for respect and leeway in their development process at the same time. Why make it seem as if colonizing singlehandedly created everything great about modernity (obviously with no understanding of where the initial technological and cultural lead came from) instead of showing how cooperation would improve our lives? I guess it’s because they are actually backwards in all ways, and simply want to be the ones colonizing. Sad. (and evil)
The reason is that cooperation does not really help, because most Indians are presently incapable of improving the world around them on the whole.
“Regarding the filthy rivers i want to say one more thing: london and New york were covered with horse shit at the turn of the 20th century.”
At least Whites recognized that as a problem and tried to fix it. Indians would only find it disgusting because it wasn’t cow shit.
Name if America belongs 2 the natives here why would the natives want Indians coming in2 their country. its ridiculous you would think that just because both are non white that they would support each other which is frankly not true.
no piece of land belongs 2 anyone though. thats not the point. the point is some people are just dysgenic and bad 4 society.
i would rather have whites claim the world than the Indians because Indians contributed nothing significant over the last thousand years 2 the betterment of humanity. whites have.
Face it Name Hindus are obnoxiously low standard and greedy 4 thinking they deserve things they clearly dont. theyre entitled and their bitterness is disgusting as well.
LOL Loaded is a self hating south asian.
fuck you Pill i genuinely think you are the most retarded person on this blog if you just repeat talking points and never say anything useful.
youre useless in every way you schizo clown. i cant wait until one day you break down and start taking all this extra energy out on yourself.
its because youre sexually frustrated. firstly youre a pervert. everyone knows what type of guy you are. you perv on women and then blame other men. thats the sort of guy you are frankly.
secondly no women has ever accepted you simply because you have a retard 4 a mother.
there are many more things that make you sexually frustrated like the games you like etc. all the media you consume has fried your brain.
so why even comment on these blogs when you KNOW you are inferior.
lurker, i see you have strated slipping in lies into your comments. More on that later.
Just because native americans were not part of UN or something does it mean you can take away their land and spread diseases and kill them? (remember whites giving them disease infested blankets?)
And most of the money looted from brown and black nations went to europeans. Indian political leaders are corrput yes (but so are political leaders of every country. dont act like your biden or trump are saints. they pocket hundreds of billions of dollars that could be spent on healthcare in america and on poor people in america).
And you say population growth indicates india ia low iq? You are low IQ not indians because of saying this. You know why?
It i because…it is easie to set up something like a dispensary than a school. When india got independence in 1947 there was no basic healthcare in 90% of villages. So governement then had to rapidly setup small and medium dispensaries until they could get the money to build proper hospitals (as they didnt have the money yet to build them as it was all looted by the british). It was only by 1960s that the govt earned enough money to build hospitals and schools and educate people (education leads to ideas about family planning). Until then dispensaries built took take care of maternal and child mortality which led to a sudden boom in indian population. (This same scenario happened in other south asian countries like pakistan and bangladesh). That is why south asia is one of the most densely populated regions in the world today.
from the 1940s to 1960s there was a popualtion boom because of lack of education as i mentioned yesterday but the presence of healthcare that prevented maternal and child mortality. But after 1960s population growth and total fertility rate began to fall off as people became more educated but it was already too late as the base population was already too high.
Still, today most educated indians have only one or two kids. I have only one sibling…so do most of my cousins. As for myself I plan on having just one kid. All my friends have only two kids each no one has even three kids. (Meanwhile an equally educated muslim person in india has atleast 3-4 kids even today) while an equally educated american has what 4-5 kids still? Find out how many kids indian couples in your america have and compare that to american and european couples of the same education and socio-economic status.
Indian leaders are doing their best to clean up the rivers but is far harder to do it than newyork because 200 million people live near it. And you are taking the example of a couple of polluted rivers but not talking about most of the rivers in india that are not polluted at all. Whereas your leaders are doing nothing permanent to address poverty and starvation in your country. I have even heard that streets/alleys especially smell of pee near many pubs/bars in newyork.
i meant to say ‘and’ the presence of healthcare in the second sentence.
>an equally educated american has what 4-5 kids
The replacement rate for the United States is about 2.1 children per woman. In 2021, the U.S. fertility rate was 1.66 births per woman, which is well below the replacement level.
The total fertility rate (TFR) for non-Hispanic white women ranges from 1,307 expected births for women with a bachelor’s degree to 2,509 for women with a 12th grade education or less. The TFR for more educated women in the late 1980s was 1.78, which implied roughly 20 percent of white women were childless.
The TFR is calculated by:
Adding up all the age-specific fertility rates
Multiplying this sum by five (the width of the age-group interval)
Dividing by 1,000
The fertility rate for white women in the United States has been decreasing from 1.763 children per woman in 2014 to 1.64 children per woman in 2018.
Anime, that is because a lot of them don’t get married in the west in the first place. This decreases TFR and other things. But married couples in the west have more kids than equally educated married indian (hindu) couples in general.
Storytelling is more complex than just IQ.
Your ability to tell a story is more dependent on metacognition.
Metacognition allows you to know if what you are doing will have the effect you want it to have.
IQ allows you to put things together but it will not tell you if what you did put together is a meaningful or good story.
Metacognition is related to IQ
One view of “autism” is that you can have a high IQ but low social metacognition.
IQ is simply: (input ->output) and unrelated to higher-order loops because higher-order thinking patterns cannot be measured.
But you can have a high IQ and have a low anything. Some high IQ people have low math ability, or verbal ability or spatial ability. Being dumb in any one area does not prevent your overall ability from being high.
yes you can have a high or low pairing of anything but the perspective Anime is bringing is that the pair that seems 2 have the strongest effect is the low meta with the high IQ.
what PP is referring 2 is called a tilt but this is not a tilt this is an innate performance deficit in people with that disease.
PP you make your comments sound like a riddle as in its complex and simple at the same time and yet the understanding only comes after reading it several times.
its very strange but i think simplicity 4 its own sake is very important.
Loaded is correct.
meta comes in levels, depths of meaning. if quant is all there is then low (meta) would be a first-order understanding of relationships in regard to other minds.
no matter how much quant one has the number of thinking “levels” one has may not increase with it.
Mugabe would love The Stand. Its very religious and I’m not sure Stephen King himself is a religious man. After a pandemic wipes out 99% of the population the Devil saves a select few to be his people and sets up a settlement in Las Vegas. God via a magic negro selects a select few to be his people. Obviously as I look back I’m surprised the Devil didn’t just select lots of blacks and jews lol. Anyway god selects people with great hearts even if they are stupid or have disabilities. I won’t spoil what happens.
That was a great movie. Randal Flagg is such a good character.
I don’t think they ever made a movie out of The Stand. I have one issue of the comic somewhere and I think they made a miniseries or two. Never read the book but sounds interesting.
Yea you’re right. I remembered the 4 VHSs and misremembered them as a movie. I’m remembering the 1994 miniseries.
im watching this movie called the Circle where everything is broadcasted 2 other people.
it kind of reminds me of how the Internet facilitates this sort of behavior obviously and then i think about internalizing and externalizing.
we as humans externalize a lot and want 2 build on a culture where everything is presented 2 everyone. but we also internalize other peoples behaviors and understandings.
its not very humble but i guess that stems from us being social animals.
i guess it also stems from us trying 2 acquire depths of knowledge that wouldnt be necessary unless we werent such a curious animal.
it shows us also that we are not very altruistic because we do it 2 serve ourselves etc.
it is pretty overwhelming that everything needs 2 be shared with others and that is heralded as honesty. there is no humor in this.
I remember watching the first part on TV at my grandparents and that being the first time I heard the song “Don’t Fear the Reaper”. I was like: “wow, cool song”. I didn’t really know it was one of the most popular classic rock songs ever and I’d hear it 100s of times after that lol.
I guess we have a situation like the Stand today where the great evil in this world has followers like like Melo and RR and the good in this world is me and Jimmy.
LOL
do you actually believe anything you write because you contradict yourself every two seconds. its complete intellectual dishonesty.
listen asshole if you didnt have the avatar you do you wouldnt talk as much shit because no one would see you credibly.
whoever was the inspiration 4 your avatar is more than likely destined 2 burn in Hell 4ever 4 your stupid views.
its actually disgraceful you think of yourself as a keen creative whatever individual you think you are.
the facts are:
you are a sexually frustrated loner. not even i can come close 2 how much of a failure you are.
you are a dead end genetically etc.
on top of that you attained your IQ by sheer luck because you are a fraud. your parents shouldve aborted you if they knew what was best 4 this world.
Loaded has very severe mental health problems.
and so do you! throw yourself overboard!
https://nypost.com/2023/10/27/lifestyle/bad-grammar-causes-actual-physical-distress-in-others-study-reveals/
LOL. So hearing poor grammar actually violates us physically. (not that I would ever argue against that idea of microaggressions… in fact, the whole point of purity of culture or race is because micro-problems add up to become macro problems. So basically people want racial purity are using a very similar argument to those who complain of “microaggressions”.)
But of course we all know ebonics is not incorrect, it is simply a different way of speaking. But when you mix the two, would not they sound incorrect to the other?
Hmmmm. HMMMMM.
theres so much 2 read information is a luxury. i realized that as information evolves so does IQ testing because cultural acquisition makes it so that info becomes more clear and informative as it goes along so certain subtests will change quite a bit as the testing evolves.
kudos 2 my brother Anime 4 enlightening me on genetic and brain scanning methods 4 determining intelligence.
Schizophrenia could be an underdeveloped brain expected to the individual potential while Autism could be the opposite, overdeveloped brain expected to the individual potential.
overdeveloped in what way?
Based on the symptoms of each disorder.
In the case of autism, on average, a larger brain; excessive sensory sensitivity; obsessive interests…
However, it would be more developed than expected and not homogeneously.
The same, but opposite, for schizophrenia: a series of cognitive deficits resulting from areas less developed than normally expected and associated with, on average, a smaller brain.
Completely speculative, of course. I even regretted posting that thought.
Santo you make no sense. look your IQ is very low 2 begin with but also you just dont try.
you are a narcissist. and a loser narcissist. there are healthy narcissists but you think of yourself as an expert in everything.
you are such a stupid person. youre not an expert and your perspectives on any scientific matter are just your perspectives.
you have no credibility or reputation. anywhere.
you are a lost cause.
🙄🙄🙄
Yes peepee
You know what??
Would be great to know who really YOU are… Maybe PeePee is exactly what mugabe said she is, a lesbian black woman trying to cheat people here and there.
BUT YOU WON
Your blog is dead and or you wanted this or you dont care anymore.
It used to be fun. Not anymore.
I hope this will be the lastest ever bye
I dont want to waste my time with sub humans by no reason like this moslem sociopath or rr sociopath.
Your blog is ugly as u peepee
Fui 👋
you think im a sociopath? your reasoning abilities suck in every way.
im glad this homo is gone he just polluted every blog post with useless gibberish and constant agenda pushing.
i hope 2 never hear from him again.
Would be great to know what Santo thinks of that menarche paper he cited which thought agreed with what he was saying but actually confirmed what I was saying… So are you going to admit I was right there or what?
In schizophrenia, the dorsal striatum (upper basal ganglia) has too much dopamine in it and has been damaged by stress. This brain region is used for understanding cause and effect. If it is damaged then people can get weird ideas about how to obtain and maintain their goals. Hallucinations also play a part in that this brain region integrates perceptual stimuli.
Why did you delete all of Mugabes comments from the comment section? Thats weird.
He wanted his Arnold comment deleted and that deleted everything under it.
why is Pill such a hater. ew.
Pill if you had low T levels youd be the biggest loser on this planet. you are a complete clown.
its not your IQ its that you are a manchild and a loser in every respect. you are an NPC you cant think 4 yourself like the rest of the idiots on this blog.
this blog is a cesspool of idiots and thus proves PP is a psychopath in every way since he/she whatever the fuck that thing that runs this blog is will always choose 2 entertain the masses instead of doing the right thing.
Lol at Bruno saying we would live in a dystopia if i ran a blog i think its quite honestly is a dystopia and PPs blog furthers the verdict on the issue.
Today, a black and lesbian minister in the Lula government said that the expression ”black hole” is racist…
homosexuality is the worst condition in the world how do you reconcile your right wing beliefs if all the assumptions of that ideology go against the single thing that defines you.
being queer defines you Santo you cant do anything about it. its awful that the world only labels you 4 one characteristic you are but thats what it really is all about and boils down 2.
Loaded you are a gay man as well. You love black men. You get really horny listening to them talk about their bodies.
Being a muslim brown dwarf with and IQ arounds 80 look worse.
I wont die for being homossexual so to me is fine. But being you seems a long life disability.
I dont have “right wing beliefs”, retarded. I dont think on right or left but fair or unfair.
I’m not queer or non binnary typo. All wrong but coming from you it’s totally expected.
[redacted by pp, 2023-11-04]
I bet you dont because very dumb people like you have the same consciousness levels of a dog.
no you are projecting Pill. think about your days as a liberal who “cared” about black people….the reason you had black friends….its because you love black men.
you are a perverted man who cant control his sexual urges of course this will happen.
im surprised you havent raped anyone tbh.
Loaded is another reason why this blog have no real and SMART moderation and why it’s fucked. It’s very clear he is mentally retarded and of a particular problematic type.
A different perspective he is bringing to us, PP??
Pill is so predictable. he has canned responses 4 everything. talking points. nothing original.
everything he says about others is just a projection of himself. he called Bruno AI and he turns out 2 be the biggest AI. he calls people gay he is a gay rapist. etc. etc. etc.
list goes on 4ever.
Peepee, do you think all these useless comments coming from this dwarf muslim brown worth????
For Peepee simple and pragmatic mind it’s all about quantity. Quality is for aesthetic idealistic losers.
Santo you faggot i think you homosexuals have no control. if you saw my penis instead of fighting me youd just start sucking me off! LMAO!!!
PP what exactly is the point of this blog? i see you are all nihilists of some sort or the other. its not because you dont believe in God its simply because none of your parents gave you a good ass whooping.
thats not me hating its me being honest. i just dont think you guys got love or appreciation and never seriously saw the consequences of your actions.
you all live in a fantasy world of some sort.
“There are black people who are human beings”
This is the Minister of Racial Equality of Brazil.
Santo ive said this b4 ill say it again the way people read your comments based on the way you type and your high pitched voice (as expected) probably makes it sound like you have ten cocks in your mouth!
everyone knows youre flamboyant you fucking retard. you have a lower IQ than me youve been on this blog double the amount of time ive been here and still contribute nothing.
youre a foolish incompetent piece of shit. youre probably brown 2 so this makes it worse.
what do you know about intellectuality you are the dumbest commenter here with no self awareness etc.
you should put yourself in a cage and keep yourself there.
PP “moderation”
CENSORED BY PeePee
{N word redacted by pp, 2023-11-04]
(Would be censored by princess peepeee)
Just because HBD make Fun on her extremely cringey fanaticism towards Oprah.
So dishonest.
stfu Brazilitard. you brazilians are savages low IQ savages. its best no one hears from you again.
Loaded watches black rap music videos with his penis out in his hand. He loves the way black men are shirtless and press their bodies up against the camera. Rap is a basically a way for the heavily sexually repressed loaded to get a ‘release’ from his dire existence.
The only way loaded has sex is being raped. Sad.
at least i have a penis you probably castrated yourself.
Loaded probably goes to the ghetto on a safari with a binoculars to watch the wild black men without clothes on doing their ‘thang’. In the ghetto people literally shit in cars, smash windows and have sex in public. Loaded is basically in heaven on his safari tour.
Lol you are definitely projecting here and everywhere its so evident with what you write its like youre imagining these things in your head and it turns you on enough 2 write about it.
Interesting theory. Maybe Pill’s hatred of blacks and gays is explained by the fact that he’s a self-hating closeted gay man who hates the fact that he is attracted to black men.
LOL you take a swivel eyed moron’s psychological profiling seriously.
Interesting how pp tried to convince us she is he and white.
i mean its pretty obvious and its obvious because its not special 2 him.
no matter how many people complain about their situation on this blog no one really has it any different from the stereotypes there are of people like them.
what im saying is Pill is an example of someone who is a closeted gay because he fits all the check marks.
its confirmation bias at work here.
I think he just got cucked or something. It makes the most sense in my head. Nobody looks at the ghetto and comes to the conclusions he does unless they already have some preconceived racist thoughts. Or unless they experienced incredibly traumatic done to them but those people.
It’s like the radicalized Palestinians.

This guy Mark Dice must be the funniest political analyst on Youtube. I don’t agree with a lot of his views but hes just a funny guy.
this is so much shit buddy. you always post these types of comments when you are under duress.
in short youre very predictable. anyone can see your stupidity from a mile away.
Loaded and RR should have a retard stare off. They can just stare and drool and slap themselves in the face now and then until the ‘loser’ admits defeat.
Santo and Pill should have a jerk off. thats all.
Useless.
yes it would be useless since both of you lack penises.
Such good music.
Loaded in all the time hes been here has never once commented on the blog post. I bet he doesnt even read the posts. Hes just here to…let loose on strangers on the comment section.
maybe but thats better than you couldve ever done. youre here 2 spread ideologies that dont make a shred of sense and add conspiracies 2 the world already full of them.
Santo is worse than Pill but i think everyone knows this guy is irrelevant. Pill is full of shit but Santo is just a faggot. he should keep sucking dick online.
Santo is about 40 points higher in IQ than you buddy. Being totally honest.
maybe spatially lol and thats because he is a nerd. im more than confident that i have a higher verbal than both you and him and i have cognitive traits like processing speed that would be faster than both of yours as well.
thats called realism. read what Santo writes and tell me you actually believe anything you write yourself idiot.
Loaded types like a spastic, but I’m not going to get bogged down in dick-measuring contests when all of us should be talking about Neanderthals.
I have no clue where his VCI wandered off to while writing these messages.
im just tired of the slander is all.
Ban this Pill personality he needs 2 go. he is a parasite and this blog is better off without him!
pp,
What do you think the genetic distribution of cognitive resources is in individuals?
The last test I took says I am 103 but I think I have put much of my effort into abstracting my personal ideas. I think that is why my abstract crystallization is high (meta wisdom) and burned out my short-term memory.
Puppy why did you say I’m anti gay?? I’m very pro gay. People like Loaded need a home and an avenue to express themselves. Sadly, Loaded would be better expressing his love for black men in a gay online forum rather than a psychometrics blog.
youre in love with Jewish men using every piece of logic youve ever used. also i know more about psychometrics than you ever will.
youre close minded and your knowledge is minimal about everything. i bet youd score very low on the general knowledge and reasoning sections of any test as long as they dont conform 2 your interests.
you have a low ability 2 acquire knowledge.
Of extreme importance: could you please, please revisit the question of Neanderthal IQ?
We have so much new data on the question.
I believe that Neanderthal introgression is sufficient to entirely explain ethnic differences in spatial ability/VSI, as well as in autism. Recent data suggests the following
I) Positive correlates of Neanderthal DNA: high spatial ability; smaller social networks; lower reading of body-language (mediated by functional connectivity of the intraparietal sulcus in a tradeoff with VSI — note that exactly this region was abnormal in Einstein’s brain), autism diagnosis; ancestry from Scandinavia, Ireland, Scotland, China, Japan, Korea, Inuit (high mean VSI — Inuit VSI of ~105 despite lack of acculturation is only well explained by Neanderthals), Russia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, or Papua New Guinea (high amount of archaic DNA from floresiensis likely cancels out Neanderthal advantage); seasonal allergies; fair skin; preference for nighttime wakefulness.
Negative correlates: schizophrenia (negative correlation with ASD genes).
Africans have nearly zero Neanderthal DNA and a relative weakness in spatial ability even compared to their VCI. Ashkenazi Jews ultimately hail from the Middle East, which has lower Neanderthal DNA than Europe.
Morphology of the entire brain and occipital bun is similar between ASD and Neanderthals; moreover, Neanderthals show differences in FOXP2 and other language genes from AMH (anatomically modern humans). As compared to AMH, researchers have conjectured Neanderthals drew a smaller distinction between language and music. I studied Mandarin Chinese for years. It is a tonal language, and there is a strong relationship between tonality and Neanderthal ancestry between ethnicities. Nonverbal autistic children primarily communicate in pictographs — and some studies suggest they can be reached by, get this, music. Imo the ASD subtypes relate to which Neanderthal genes were inherited — HFA/AS is parietal-coding only, while nonverbal types also have something like the Neanderthal language gene.
I sincerely hope you’ll check this out.
I’ve been reading about this for two years after noticing patterns. I am autistic, my VCI is about 164, and my VSI is probably about 175 per many tests. I would send my own DNA for testing to quantify Neanderthal introgression if I actually trusted the companies in question not to sell it.
I’ve not replied to my other comment, as it has not been approved yet. Note two typos: one comma where there should be a semicolon and the absence of II) before negative correlates.
I genuinely believe Neanderthals raised in a modern environment would exhibit higher mean FSIQ than AMH, as mediated by VSI at the expense of VCI. By dint of greater parieto-occipital connectivity, it seems nigh incontrovertible that their innate spatial ability would have been higher, and there is a huge corpus of evidence to substantiate this claim.
For the record: about 7/8 of my own heritage is Germano-Celtic (Scotland, Ireland, Brittany, Alsace, Germany) and 1/8 Ashkenazi.

They might have higher spatial but I doubt they were higher overall. Their technology and achievements were on par with Lower Paleolithic modern humans
I am aware of this insofar as hunting technology is concerned, yet environmental pressures were lesser upon them to develop advanced ranged weaponry. The stocky Neanderthal was more wont to face his prey head-on with spears, accompanied by only a handful of his tribesmen. You may well be correct, but I’ve seen other data that’s suggestive of them inventing boats and certain symbolic systems before we have any record of sapiens doing so.
Also, I would be more cautious about comparing Neanderthal FSIQ to AMH FSIQ, considering we’ve likely inherited many of the beneficial Neanderthal variants. This may have been a step too far, but it’s a stronger claim and one I’m still vaguely willing to support. Comparing Neanderthals to early sapiens is more clear-cut in all likelihood. I’m just tired of stereotypes from low-quality pop science suggesting sapiens succeeded because they were dumb brutes. Sapiens succeeded by weaponizing sex and having a better-suited body type for the last global thaw.
And yes, we do have suggestive evidence for sapiens verbal advantage — including genetics and cranial morphology. Neanderthals seem to have had variants coding for higher brain size with somewhat less efficient blood throughput/oxygenation of the temporal lobe. One recent study that analyzed three domains of ability (verbal, quantitative, spatial) concluded that brain size but not oxygenation predicted spatial, and oxygenation but not brain size predicted verbal.
I’m most interested in your analysis on the contribution of Neanderthals to modern interethnic variance and cognitive profiles.

The average Neanderthal brain volume is 2.64 deviations above the average AMH brain volume.
(0.4)2.64 = 115 spatial
compared to AMH:
34% of Neanderthal were between 130 and 145 spatial.
2% of Neanderthal were between 145 and 160 spatial.
The effective population size (Ne) of Neanderthals was estimated to be around 15,000 individuals.
300 Neanderthals had spatial iq between 145 to 160
20 were above 160 compared to AMH
The average Neanderthal brain volume is 2.64 deviations above the average AMH brain volume.
False
PP is correct that 2.64 deviations is not an accurate representation of the difference between EH and Neanderthals. Using data after autodomestication is not going to be extremely accurate.

As humans mated with Neanderthal extra connections added to the condition of Autism as a trait. More connections because Neanderthal skulls were ten percent larger and the genes to make more connections had to fit in a smaller human Neanderthal hybrid skull.
In Africa sounds and colors are abundant meaning as per schizophrenia randomness is high eliminating the pressures to make clear distinctions in space. Only sound and smell become important as the background noises must be canceled out in the grassland environment. Neanderthals were less dependent on sound cancellation but based their survival strategies on vision.
More spatial connections along with sensitivity to sound cancelation had huge advantages. The extra-sensory sound would be an advantage in quiet places like during winter snow to hear enemies and high spatial in snow conditions would be important because you need to demarcate motion as animals would hide in a totally white space.
Having a hybrid species meant that as conditions changed neanderthal died out by competition of those with better language skills. With language, hybrids could plan by a signaling method that drove the Neanderthal to extinction when they ran out of food to hunt. Only the hybrids with spatial/language could hunt the most food and breed.
My impression of the true reason for sapiens success was the proliferation of large social groups. Sapiens had more sex and more relatives, and hence outbred them. It’s a classic case of r/k selection. Also curious is the proliferation of humanlike “fae” creatures in the mythology of areas in which the Neanderthals were last to disappear. The Norse myths of trolls and gnomes could easily be reframed in the context of ancestral legends about other types of human. As I understand it, the ballad Herr Mannelig was composed in the 1800s based on folktales (similar to the Finnish Kalevala). The depiction of a man refusing betrothal to an exceptionally beautiful troll woman who was short and did not age like us could easily have originated as a real tale, and been transformed into something about Paganism by corruptive Christian influence.
I think it is more a matter of how well one can maintain one’s territorial hunting grounds.
Unless AMH were actively hunting Neanderthal then Neanderthal could win in the spatial side of the game.
The two populations had to merge in order for the AMH to gain an advantage.
Neanderthal was sublimated not hunted/starved to extinction.
Even fifty-thousand years ago Europeans still had 10% Neanderthal DNA.
I agree with you. Outbred probably isn’t the right word — what I mean is that the larger population of sapiens, stronger social networks, and communication skills naturally predisposed them towards comprising most of the AMH genome. Yet I think the reason not all Neanderthal variants affecting the brain have disappeared is because some are conditionally beneficial via VSI. The second study I’ve linked by Gregory et al. shows that Neanderthal admixture predicts only enlargement of the parieto-occipital region of the skull, without shrinking the frontal bone. In other words, we’ve retained precisely the variants that produce the largest possible skulls.
what is the fascination with Neanderthals? they were a primitive humans and modern humans are primitive when compared 2 what aliens might be like. its all anthropocentric anyways. we are only fascinated by them because they are like us but not entirely like us sparking some weird curiosity on the subject matter.
thats how i see it at least. i think the fascination might be because they have the traits us modern humans do except their evolution led them 2 being different than us so it gives us a different perspective.
Neanderthal DNA has nontrivial ramifications for every population outside of Africa.
Stephen King’s DNA has nontrivial ramifications for Stephen King.
that is true. i did a Genomelink analysis of my DNA exposure from Neanderthals and it was about 30th percentile.
i think Neanderthals are cool.
But RR says DNA doesn’t matter.
PP wrote an article about height awhile ago: https://pumpkinperson.com/2018/07/30/iq-differences-in-height-by-race-sex/comment-page-1/
Stephen King is 6’3” or 6’4”, so according to this chart his expected IQ would already be 108-109. He probably has mental fascinations with extremes (horror) and openness that might further correlate with higher IQ, and bipolar/some other mood disorder.
He looks like a Dr. Suess character but that makes him about average in facial attractiveness for India.
“He looks like a Dr. Suess character but that makes him about average in facial attractiveness for India.”
LOL. He does look a bit strange alright.
he was a cocaine addict of course he will look strange. his substance abuse and writings are evident of bipolar.
bipolar is an awful disease no doubt but schizophrenia is probably the worst disease anyone can have from my understanding.
Why won’t you publish my lord of the rings comments? Me and Jimmy are clearly with the elves and the men and the hobbits.
You are gollum.
Then loaded, RR and Melo are basically with Sauron and the orcs.
Stop lumping yourself in with Jimmy. Jimmy agreed way more with me than your idiot ass.
LOL
You disagreed with 90% of the things jimmy said and then BANNED him.
Whether I ban someone has nothing to do with whether I agree with them or not. Look at RR; we disagree on virtually everything and I have no desire to ban him.
Pill its quite clear youre wrong about a lot of things. you believe in these conspiracies but its not the conspiracies that are wrong its just that theyre not specific and dont really pertain 2 anything practical.
also you believe youre the only one who knows about them and 4 whatever reason that this makes you great! you have a Savior complex which is worse than the main character syndrome i may suffer from.
its quite disturbing we are letting you walk around freely.
I’m not saying you are a bad guy. Gollum wasn’t a bad guy. His role is just a corrupted deranged former hobbit who after thousands of years of corruption is obsessed with a ring of power.
I would say physically puppy probably even looks like Gollum.
Why wont you answer my question on whether you read fiction or not? The title of the post is Stephen King…who is a famous fiction writer dumbass.
As a child I loved reading fiction. Around the age of 11 or so I read Stephen King novels like Carrie and Christine and would sit at my teacher’s feet as he read the class The Lion, the witch and the wardrobe. I would even write fiction; at age 5 or 6 I wrote my first story about a bunch of skeletons with long hair who would sing heavy metal music and then kill people. At age ten I wrote a horror book, at age 13 I wrote a slasher screenplay that my friends and I were going to produce but this was before the days of youtue so there was no way to market it so I decided not to. At 11, I also wrote a soap opera in the form of weekly mini comics that I would ask my mom to read. At age 14 I started writing a novel about a promiscuous white teenager who attended a high school with with a black principal and no electricity and gave birth to a mentally retarded son who became a body builder.
But slowly my interest in fiction got replaced by my interest in HBD which in the eyes of normies is fiction, so who needs orcs, hobbits and elves when we have real life races of man. In fact the reason we have fiction is in part to talk about the subjects we can’t talk about. Well I can talk about it so I skipped the middleman. In fact my HBD love grew out of my love for the fictional movie QUEST FOR FIRE, because it took us back to a time when there three different levels of evolution co-existing in a struggle for resources so imagine my fascination when Rushton claimed that’s the case right now.
Ironically in Quest for Fire it was the African race that was on top:
ive seen that movie its good. i need 2 watch again. it shows the great development of the people but the people nowadays are stupid and meek.
Although Puppy you and RR disagree on the science in the one of you has actually read a science book published in the past 100 years and the other….is not even capable of thinking…I would say that basically you and RR agree on 99% of metaphysics:
– worship of the saintly nature of blacks. Check.
– Belief in universal love and the jewish religious idea of equality. Check.
– Reperations for ‘the oppressed’. Check.
– St George Floyd. Check.
– Belief in the soul and the inherent difference between brain and mind. Check.
– Spending money on helping the blacks. Check.
– Various sexual fetishes and tastes. Check.
WTF?
