Just discovered episodes of Degrassi junior high on on Amazon Prime and decided to watch them. I hadn’t watched this show in thirty years and seeing it again was like being transported back to such an innocent time. A time when no one had cell phones, social media or the internet, guys donned fedora hats, girls wore long scarves, everyone’s hair was caked in hair spray, music was played on record players, and you literally had to dial phone numbers.
This show was such a huge part of my childhood. I remembered counting down the years until I got to seventh grade so I could be the same age as the characters and the same age as my older cousins who watched the show religiously, some of them even living not far from the legendary gentrifying Toronto inner-city where the show took place.
I remember a sissified close friend who wanted to buy a fedora hat and sleeveless jean jacket because he wanted to look just like Joey Jeremiah.
Although the show seems corny by today’s standards, that’s part of it’s charm. Each episode centered around some coming of age dilemma like a girl discovering she’s pregnant, or a beloved teacher suspected of being lesbian, or a mulatto girl getting caught shop-lifting, or an Asian student suspecting he’s been stereotyped, or a supply teacher seducing said mulatto girl, or the school secretary phoning children’s aid because a boy is being being beat by his dad. The show is so pre-internet that she literally looks up Children’s Aid in a deck of alphabetized cards on her desk.
And there’s an authenticity about the characters. They all looked like real kids and real teachers from that era.
And of course the theme song. I remember literally dancing to this as a kid at the start of each episode:
The only thing Bruno actually does with his brain his compute math and learn grammer rules and words. In the 6 years I’ve been here Bruno has never said anything interesting or intelligent beyond computing math problems because a robot isn’t going to to be able to explain or really understand anything.
Any time Bruno writes a long answer, he literally sounds like a bugged AI chatbot. People with autism don’t actually undertsand anything beyond superficial ideas. Its mimicking. They don’t have any intuition.
Even the best mathematicians aren’t autistic because people with autism don’t understand anything they put their minds to. Actually almost every breakthrough in math and physics was done by neurotypical people. Autists like Bruno and Anime lack intuition to make breakthroughs so it doesn’t matter that today there are 100,000 170IQ autists in the world. They never advance anything. They just mimick their masters.
pill never could understand real women.
Possibly the most overrated action anime ever. I unironically prefer the trainwreck known as MD Geist over Bubblegum Crisis. Largely because of the music being one of the two chief redeeming aspects of MD Geist.
Kitty, is Bubblegum Crisis worth watching? It’s been on my radar for a while.
Most Anime I saw was passive glances.
The first anime I saw was Macross at 6 yo.
Train 999 I saw when 10 and it made me highly depressed.
But I know that Gundam is awesome:
「Rhythm Emotion」 Anime MV 【Gundam Wing】 Opening Theme 2 (English Sub)
[AMV] SUPER RISER! 「Do You Remember Love?」
Are you sure about that? In the whole autism vs schizophrenia thing, autism is associated with gray matter and schizophrenia with white matter. So one would think that autists would think in depth and make very little connections, while schizos will think on the surface level while making too many connections between many surface level things.
Autists do NOT think in depth. Many are retarded.
I dont think the correlation between retardation and schizophrenia is as high as the one 4 autism!
Both schizos and general austists are below average IQ. ASD and Aspergers are above average IQ.
I mean, we know Philo can’t get women because of the bad hygiene thing, but I’d love to be a fly on the wall when Philo attempts to hit on women. Assuming he isn’t gay, of course.
It’d be so entertaining watching our “social genius” try to get pussy despite having no theory of mind and smelling like shit.
I would guess the number of 170IQ autists in human history like Bruno that have won a hard science nobel is zero.
You can’t contribute to knowledge with a deformed brain like that.
go shit in a public tavern pill you traveler
Mugabe is right, I have dissociative identity disorder.
And pill is wrong because I don’t have autism.

I Have An IQ Of 160, My Amazing Story
We know Philly is wrong. He gets his knowledge about mental illness from TV.
Mostly in life the autists are the lowest form of status out there actually. It leads 2 a lot of alienation and suffering in those people!
« I would definitely trade 20 or 30 Quant IQ points for the ability to see images in my head. »
—> I wouldn’t trade even 1 IQ point. But if I could have imagery and episodic memories and familiarity for free by taking a pill, I would strongly hesitate. Around 90% of people I’ve talked about this say day dreaming is mostly a hindrance in their daily life and that the most recurring memories are mostly bad experiences. Even the ego building and synchronized self image is a source of pain or disapppointment most of the time according to the majority. So having none of that consciously is a bit « robotic », but maybe positive. And it’s hard to miss what you don’t have (Russell Peters hilarious comments about deaf people and women noticing).
—> I am a strong giant. So even if I look naive or maladroit, people are reassured by that and smile at me as soon as I acknowledge them. In the contrary, when people notice my very fast réflexes, they are usually scared.
Btw I learned not to stare at people mostly in the Uk, because I figured out men were very uncomfortable if I looked at them in the eyes (behaving like little Gorillas) but without being actively agressive against me because I am much too big and strong. UK guys are the most pit bull like I know. On par with some arabic guys.
Plus I have a handgrip that can make > 200 pounds men kneel as I told you. Except a guy with weapons or a mafia, i can’t see how I could ever ran into real trouble.
So I guess I am blessed by the combination and maybe my brain in a skinny guy would have lead him into big trouble or at least just mockery. Who knows. I think money would have helped me, even in a skinny body, to get a perfect acceptable level of social acceptance.
“Except a guy with weapons or a mafia, i can’t see how I could ever ran into real trouble.”
You could, for example, get an injection that destroys your immune system or negatively affects your DNA replication, without having good enough physical practices or a diet to combat the effects of the injection.
IDK B runo, maybe its because most people you talk to are conscientious.
Idiot. 99% of people would choose an imagination or memories over being able to do differential equations. Literally nobody with these abilities regrets them.
« I get pissed off when Bruno insults my intelligence »
That sentence seems to be true indeed 😂

I do agree, White Americans suck way too much black cock.
Lurker has good comments. You… Let’s say, don’t. It’s mostly nonsense and irrelevant bullshit.
You think that way because I dont engage way with you!
He is literally a white supremacist everything you disagree with so it’s pretty insulting but funny regardless!
Not a White supremacist perse. I’m just conservative and tentative about the idea of mixing cultures and races so much, because I believe it might not be a great idea (based on lots of evidence from various avenues, i.e. hereditarianism, empirical scores of tests and life success, cultural and civilizational examples, trust decreasing, rise of identity politics, etc.).
The same way I wouldn’t recommend people have lots and lots of kids with those with Down Syndrome. I don’t want to instantly jinx someone who chooses that, but I’m going to fight pretty hard to stop it.
Also I like East Asians (mostly Japanese)
Just because I disagree with his views doesn’t mean I can’t think that he has good comments, expresses himself well and is a good writer.

pretty sure this story is made up. if not peepee has no excuse. you can always marry money peepee.
check this out!
peepee thinks this guy’s gardener has a super high IQ.
Hermes in France is one of the stores that had to apologize for not recognizing Oprah
My view on life is simple:
if wearing a green shirt actually did correspond to such high scores then the green shirt pipo would be expected to score higher UNLESS the pipo selected for their high scores ALSO happened to all wear green shirts.
this because the green shirt would likely be some obscure sign of ability independent of test score.
and thus the green shirt pipo EFFECTIVELY HAVE TWO HIGH TEST SCORES. whereas the other group just has ONE.
this is all totally OBVIOUS!
what peepee doesn’t unnuhstan is that the SAT is only one of many factors in admission to harvard…
ALL HARVARD ADMITS ALSO WEAR GREEN SHIRTS.
f wearing a green shirt actually did correspond to such high scores then the green shirt pipo would be expected to score higher UNLESS the pipo selected for their high scores ALSO happened to all wear green shirts.
this because the green shirt would likely be some obscure sign of ability independent of test score.
and thus the green shirt pipo EFFECTIVELY HAVE TWO HIGH TEST SCORES. whereas the other group just has ONE.
Or another way of thinking about it is that when both groups take the WAIS-IV, the green shirt group would regress to the green shirt mean (IQ 145ish)(in other words virtually not regressing at all) while those selected for 1400+ old SATS would regress to the U.S. population mean of 100. This would likely result in the green shirt group scoring at least 15 IQ points higher on the WAIS-IV than the 1400+ group, despite both groups averaging 1450 on the SAT.
this is all totally OBVIOUS!
He says after YEARS of arguing over it.
what peepee doesn’t unnuhstan is that the SAT is only one of many factors in admission to harvard…
1) I’ve given other examples than just Harvard students. The same would apply to high IQ society members or kids in gifted classes selected by the WISC or national merit finalists selected by the PSAT etc.
2) Harvard selects so aggressively for SAT scores that there’s hardly any room left to select for anything else and to the degree that non-SAT scores are considered, it’s usually variable that have low or even negative g loadings once you control for SAT: school grades, rich parents, leadership, sports, racial and geographic diversity etc.
3) Empirically we know that Ivy League students regress precipitously to the mean when they move from the SAT to the WAIS. This can be seen in three different studies.
Harvard selects so aggressively for SAT scores that there’s hardly any room left to select for anything else… Empirically we know that Ivy League students regress precipitously …
BOTH THESE STATEMENTS ARE FALSE. you don’t know elite college admissions work. you also have no idea how the harvard students were selected or what their mean SAT was.
AND YOU STILL DON’T UNNUHSTAN.
IT’S A MATH QUESTION. THE ONE YOU COULDN’T ANSWER. AND REFUSE TO POST.
HOW IS THE REGRESSION LINE BETWEEN X AND Y AFFECTED WHEN ONE KNOWS Z VS WHEN ONE DOES NOT?
HERE X AND Y ARE SAT AND WAIS AND Z IS “GREEN SHIRT” OR WHATEVER.
WHAT IS E(Y) = a + bX given Z is high?
WHAT ARE a AND b?
or what their mean SAT was.
In some of the studies the average SAT score of the sample that takes the WAIS is reported.
WHAT IS E(Y) = a + bX given Z is high?
WHAT ARE a AND b?
Well, when X and Y are expressed as Z scores, a = 0 so in the general U.S. population it would be something like:
Y = 0 + 0.7(X)
Now among green shirts, b would probably be 0.6 or so because correlations are typically smaller in extreme scoring subgroups than in the general population because range restriction. Meanwhile, since green shirts were not selected for SAT scores we should expect them to score as high on the WAIS as they do on the SAT (i.e. +3 SD) assuming both tests have similar g loadings. To make this so, a would have to be 1.2.
So for this subgroup, E(Y) = 1.2 + 0.6X
it’s very important that the criterion not be green shirts or some such irrelevancy, because…
just as a matter of chance…
if one looks at enough characteristics…
some will be “strongly associated” with others.
just by chance.
BUT then you do the green shirt test again on a second group and there’s no association.
BUT then you do the green shirt test again on a second group and there’s no association.
That’s called p hacking and led to the replication crisis in psychology where provocative studies proving psychic powers could not be replicated.
You have to decide the study design BEFORE you know what the results are, otherwise yes you could just look at every shirt color and then just pick the one that happened to have the best scores in that particular sample.
the other YUGE point is that the green shirt pipo would score HIGHER than the SAT-WAIS correlation for the whole population predicted.
BUT the selected would score THE SAME. NOT LOWER than predicted.
you claimed harvard students should score lower than the SAT-WAIS correlation predicted for the population as a whole. and this despite harvard students being selected by multiple g-loaded criteria, not just SAT score.
you claimed harvard students should score lower than the SAT-WAIS correlation predicted for the population as a whole.
No I claimed, based on the degree to which they were regressing, that the correlation for the age 17 U.S. population as a whole is LOWER than the sky high correlation you were citing based on restricted samples.
There’s never been a study where a representative sample of all U.S. 17-year olds took both the SAT and the WAIS so we don’t actually know the correlation in the general U.S. population. I was trying to infer it from the degree to which Harvard studenets regressed to the mean under the assumption they were cognitively typical of high SAT people and under the assumption that the correlation would be roughly linear across a wide range of scores.
that last comment was rude. you should delete it.
but your position is INCONSISTENT.
peepee: but the default assumption and …

“Testosterone Administration Reduces Lying in Men”
Does this explain why high intelligence in East Asian countries does not always correlate with high trust or good societies? Especially countries like India with apparently very traditional values?
Maybe a high level of testosterone combined with neotenous, large brains explains some of the success of the West.
What do you think the T differences between races are?
Take a wild guess! (Let’s hear more about free-flowing testosterone though, that’s the important part!)
Blacks > whites > Asians? (I don’t know about Natives and PIs.)
i’d put it this way iirc. MOST applicants with perfect SAT scores are REJECTED by harvard and similar schools.
the selection is already happening in who applies. that’s self-selection. then harvard only accepts 5% of those.
high SAT is just one of many hurdles.
So you think Harvard students are smarter than non-Harvard studenst of equivalent SAT?
I have pointed out several times that schools reporting their 25-75 SAT are lying by a lot,
Because the sum of all top 25% SAT of their classes does not match up with ETS data.
One way they cheat is that they report math and verbal separately and then aggregate both wich is wrong in their 25-50-75 description.
Then they use the false median (wich is normal for a 25-50-75) and advertise it as the average.
And top of that, universities report the SAT as if it were covering 100% of each class when it’s not the case because many admits get a pass.
But far beyond that wich are white lies, they have to cheat. There is no way that as many schools could have one forth of their students above 1560 because it’s only 6 000 out of 2,1 candidacies
And if they admitted just 5% of those, as an ego inflated ivy guy repeats here frequently, there would be only 300 of them. Spread them into Harvard, Yale, Princeton only, and they would make less than 10% of students.
So in conclusion
– even if university data were only one third real and two third lies, students with 1560 or more SAT would get 70% chances of being admitted into a top30 university just considering the numbers involved ;
– probably both reported scores are not controlled by ETS and are incorrect & at the same times admission stats for high scorers are much higher than believed. Probably around 25% chances to get into top 30 Us news ranking for very high scores holders. But it should be 75% if they were truth to their class profiles description.
Well in 2013, Harvard’s median SAT (on the readig + math section) was officially reported as 1490 (equivalent to an IQ of 145).
Meanwhile a 2007 study study asked 120 Harvard undergrads (116 responded) to report their best verbal SAT & best math SAT & when I added them it was 1430 (Which at the time equated to IQ 140) and even that might a bit inflated since the numbers are self-reported and they’re cherry picking their BEST score.
On the other hand these were probably mostly psych students so they might be a bit dumber than the other Harvard students, but either way Bruno is probably right about the official numbers being inflated.
Take this US news about the 35 best average SAT. Middle is 1505 or 1%.
https://www.usnews.com/education/best-colleges/slideshows/colleges-with-the-highest-sat-scores?slide=38
So if there are 40k students, it means 20k were in the top 1%. As there is 2,1 million candidates (at most, because some repeat), it would entail that 100% of them have been admitted and joining those 35 universities only.
That’s how unlikely their numbers are. I suspect the average figure is closer 1 in 25 (1450) and that would mean that top scorers at this 1450 level or above have 25% chances of getting in those elite universities. Wich still entails rejecting 75% of them and probably rejecting more than 90% of non Jewish whites.
Actually on the post-2016 SAT, 1505 is the top 1% of all high school seniors but “only” the top 2% of the SAT population so only 50% of them would have to be admitted:

but yes i expect the SAT-WAIS correlation is un-impressive for harvard students because…
1. spearman’s law.
2. unlike the old S-B the wechslers have a bunch of cereal box bullshit tests about making sandwiches which have no correlation to academic ability or to what pipo mean when they say “smart” or “dumb”. whereas the SAT is nothing but such tests.
although definitive studies have not been done, if studies like the MTAS had had different results the question would be resolved in favor of the rr pipo.
so…
why isn’t this evidence enough in favor of hereditism? because pipo care about it. if we were just aliens observing the earth it would just be a palour game and the hereditists would’ve won.
Our program replaces the liberal idea of the individual and the Marxist concept of humanity with the people, a people defined by its blood and rooted in its soil. This may be a simple and concise sentence, but its consequences are colossal…
rr: no! no! no!
mugabe: you’re not getting the point rr. anti-hereditism has had many chances to prove itself once and for all and it has always FAILED.
it has had many chances to prove the hereditists are as crazy as you…that hereditism is like believing in big foot…

You seem very angry! How old are you! You sound like you’re in your teens sometimes but maybe thats just my interpretation of things.
The ethnocentrism the whites on this blog have 4 each other is insane though.
For law school, a quick checking find it more believable. You have got Yale/Harvard/Stanford/Chicago/Columbia take almost all best students. Their average is 1% (173).
They have 1500 entering students per year. There are 170k test takers, that’s 1700 above 173. So it means they take at 45% of the pool. But if you see the other schools, it drops very quickly to the 167-169 area and starting at the 15th best school, their best 25% is under the top 5%.
So the combination is not unbelievable like what you see with college data.
Gonda with his 173 should really have been recruited in a better school … It’s weird he didn’t.
ZACTLY!
the same scumbags who advocate for ending meritocracy (in the chinese sense) …
lots are pipo who were admitted to elite law schools based partially on their LSAT score…
but AGAIN…
if you have a gpa of 3.00 and perfect LSAT…
you will be DENIED …
because gpa is an indicator of ideological conformity (slash autism) not just (perhaps) another g-loaded measure.

« theoretical physics handbook of 300p can be 12 hours to 1200 hours for 160 versus 130 IQ. »
That is an excellent point Bruno.
But I think it matters where you start from.
In 7th grade, we were learning about mass, momentum, speed, velocity, and acceleration but I did not understand much because they did not teach us calculus and how to make what we were learning relevant. we were still learning slope and incline in math class.
In math three things are important, shape ratio and symbol.
When I was designing my algorithm for network self-organization in 2009 I had at first thought that it could use cell phones as the nodes. but it became more abstract. As energy is pumped into a system it rearranges itself to channel energy out as fast as possible. After that, I learned about hypothesis testing and fractal entropy limits in 2018 and July 2023.
when (?) was that WAIS harvard study made is also very important.
my dad got in when 20% of applicants were admitted.
today only 5% are admitted.
my dad got in because his SAT scores were okay…like the 95th percentile…not as high as mine…PLUS he was president of his hs class + state swimming champion + quoted in LIFE magazine on something relating to nukes…
…cereal box bullshit tests about making sandwiches…
mugabe’s theory:
1. the pipo who pipo say are “smart” don’t score low on these tests…
2. they just score average or a little higher …
3. such tests are like asking usain bolt how good he is at…
…
the hammer throw …
sad.
BUT then my dad scored in the 99th percentile on the LSAT.
this is an example of:
1. discrepancy between IQ tests …
OR …
2. difference in rate of maturity…my dad got smarter…apparently…
he did finish in the top 5% of his law school class. maybe he was the top. i don’t remember.
The question is what percentile in the general U.S. population equates to the 99th percentile in the LSAT population?
I’ve attempted to answer this by looking at samples where people reported both their LSAT scores and their scores on some other test (SAT/ACT/Mega Test).
In two of the studies I did the average LSAT taker equated to an IQ of only about 107 but in the Mega Test score pairing, LSAT takers were around 120 IQ iirc and I have research showing old GRE takers were also around 120.
Either my research has not been very reliable OR there’s been about a 1 SD decline in the quality of people who take the LSAT since the 1980s or so.
law school the way it used to be…
my dad told me…
there were two factors…
1. how good are you at playing the board game Clue…
2. how many bullshit citations can you quote.
he told me he was the best at #1 and average at #2.
Actually, I am a Hufflepuff.
but then again there was one guy in my hs who got into harvard…
he ran for president of the hs BECAUSE he knew shitty schools like harvard cared about such shit…
BUT he was one of two of the highest IQ guys in my hs.
the other one went to some stupid “christian” school…NOT a catholic school.
that latter guy went on to get a master from UCB in mechanical engineering.
whereas the former guy intended to major in chemistry but switched to “social studies” and got an MBA from wharton…
he was working in the city last time i checked.
both are example of how high IQ qua asset is NOT used efficiently.
high IQ pipo should be scientists and engineers … and not engineers at defense contractors like the latter guy became.
arthur russell is REALLY ACTUALLY…
AMAZING.
one thing you will notice if you are a hard core alcoholic and/or drug addict is that…
so many contratemps…
are NOT because your personality changes so much when you’re “tight”…
but because OTHER pipo’s personality changes…
it’s NOT paranoia…
pipo HATE even the hint of intoxication…
so even if you’re totally chill, rational, respectful, etc…
if they can tell you’re using they treat you like shit…
because ideology.

A few years back i got some ideas for products. Some of them may not make sense and some may already exist but i swear i didn’t know they existed until after i thought it up. And i am posting them here if anyone is interested to read.
1) Acupressure slippers (or flipflops as americans may call it)
2) Tree pots (like plant/flower pots but for trees. makes trees easy to transport from one place to another too)
3) Tunable artificial soil…spread it on any field or piece of land you want and you can grow the crop u desire if the land was unfit for that particular crop in the first place.
4) Synthetic/rubber plants that absorb co2 from the air and water from the ground and produce 02 and water vapor (to cool the air)
5) A wrist watch that comes with fengshui/vaasthu compass and software. Pointing it in various directions tell you which side you need to place objects or build certain features of your house like entrance, windows etc
6) Energy stones: Charge themselves using sunlight. Not hot to the touch and can be used to chargeup phones, watches other various gadgets.
7) A spectacle with a tiny dial on the side of the frame. Turning the dial changes the power of the lenses. You dont need to get a new pair of spectacles everytime your eyesight power changes.
8) A deprinter kind of machine: Thrown in used sheets of paper and it gives you white sheets of paper by removing the ink on them.
