Heavy is the Head that Wears the Crown
Jalen Brunson has once again defied the odds.
The undersized second-round point guard actually pulled it off: living up to the nickname “King of New York” by bringing an NBA title to the Big Apple for the first time in over half a century.
How did he do it?
How did HE do it?
How did a man with comparable stature and explosive athleticism to my next door neighbor possibly outcompete the biggest genetic freaks on the planet and walk away with the prestigious MVP of the Finals?
While New Yorkers will forever call him “King,” Chinese basketball fans, a tad less reverentially, gave him the appellation “Big Head”.
No, they are not implying that he’s conceited. Rather, they are pointing out the obvious – that Jalen Brunson literally has a huge fucking head: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DXHSeQQEnp7/
“Oubre isn’t the first person to make comments about the size of Brunson’s head. His New York teammate, Josh Hart, has made similar comments, once revealing that Brunson was unable to fit into multiple hats he purchased on account of his head size.”
“Who cares?” a well-adjusted human being may ask, but the answer is anyone who wants to know why Jalen Brunson is so good.
A wise man once said, “intelligence is the ability to adapt, to take whatever situation you’re in and turn it to your advantage.”
Adaptation is the name of Brunson’s game. See him in action, and you’ll notice how he creates offense for himself and his teammates: feints, counters, counters to counters. He just reads, manipulates, and executes – taking what the defense gives him and turns it to his advantage time and time again.
The stadiometer at the draft combine missed what the calipers would have screamed: “this man knows how to play.”
Do you all agree that Brunson is so good because his head is so big?
Or do you not respect Pumpkin Person at all.
I don’t know what Brunson’s IQ is but he is a metaphor for why brain size tripled in 4 million years of human evolution. Despite being relatively short and unathletic, he dominates men much taller and more athletic thanks to an intelligence linked to his brain size. Similarly, despite our species lacking speed, strength, fur, fangs and claws, our species dominates much bigger, faster, stronger and ferocious animals, thanks to an intelligence linked our brain size. Big brains evolved, because when your situation is disadvantaged, you must turn it around to your advantage and by you, I mean your brain. That’s the essence of who you are.
Calling people names is beneath you pumpkin person.
Me stating basic fact on economics or politics should be no reason you call people autistic.
if I say that the sky is blue and someone says no you’re autistic because at sunset the sky is red sometimes Then that’s childish.
it seems you allow it because they don’t care about reality so you don’t?
why allow them to do this?
if they disagree then the should state why not call names.
when I say people cannot work together that good that is not autism that’s a fact of reality and he is proving the point with his name calling.
people that call names like him is the reason economics and politics is the way it is.
his actions prove I am correct.
magic does not solve problems
the world is the way it is because of how people are
being angry and calling people autistic doesn’t change reality
me pointing out the you cannot jump to the moon is no reason to call me name’s
if people are stupid that is not my fault I simply said people are the way they are and certain consequences follow
so 100% this person calling the names doesn’t understand economics or politics
it is an excuse because he has no solution to the problems I have pointed out
that is what stupid people do
blame people for telling the truth
When you start saying that other people are autistic for pointing out the failures of government and such all you getting is a devolment of the comments section.
if you don’t like the fact that government cannot do magic I have nothing to do with it.
pointing out that cause and effect exist so some things are possible and others are not doesn’t matter because he will just blame me again.
consequences of how things work does not matter to him only magic of how he envision his ideal world would work with unicorns and fairies.
if you are against such magical views your autistic
Fn stupid
as it is
you cannot tell
how people actually are
average people
is not autism
you are just crazy
this is the norm I guess
this is what’s expected
no real conversation
just shit
its designed that way
to be screwed up
by who?
Back on topic:
you get in the real world what you get because of how it is designed
if you want to change it you need to get other people to work together
since people cannot work together
the system doesn’t change
calling people autistic doesn’t help
it means you are angry and crazy
being wrong hurts their ego
but it gives them something to do when they blame people
why is it that we cannot eat candy all the time?
because it’s not healthy
economics is the same way
people are the ones making decisions so human flaw are involved
the system works around them by failing in different areas sometimes but corrects itself
we have plenty of people that don’t die because they eat healthy or last long enough by the food they eat but some people do die on average.
that is basic
the system has flaws that are compensated for by other means.
nothing is perfect
but it’s like you cannot build a stone building to the moon gravity does not allow it. It be too big and collapse.
That is why the system doesn’t make people all doing the same jobs. The system is decentralized you cannot change it from the top. You cannot grow all food in one area. Central planing will always collapse. You don’t get a world government the same reason. Its physically impossible to control everything by on person state or organization.
human flaws means we cannot have a utopia
collapse means we cannot have central planing so no utopia
Crazy people may want everyone to eat candy all the time but that’s not how things are and so they tantrum calling it all autism.
also the fact that surplus exists and can be accumulated.
accumulation means you can have huge organizations just not in ways that they get too big.
A billionaire is not in control of the money. They are like the myth of the queen be being in control of the hive. No, millions of bees may exist but the queen is not in control and millions of hives exist it’s just that humans do so on hierarchy systems.
Its an ecology
so if you tried to destroy the ecology it just grow by accumulation again.
what kind of retardation you need not to understand this is beyond me.
it is like thinking trump with get money from tariffs and give it to everyone.
baers can attack the hive
eat all the honey
but a baer is not the same as a bull market
the metaphor breaks down because humans are different
point is that the billionaires are not in charge
they system needs to change but you need top down control which is not possible
the cooperation is why billionaires exist
if you wanted to get rid of billionaires you need to destroy the corporate economy that supports them
but then everyone staves to death because the economy creates corporations. It be suicidal.
no economy = no comparations = no billionaires
fucking impossible
When it was said that genes can influence a persons intelligence specific people condemned it.
That fact that they implied understanding the brain was “racist” and that many here agreed makes them complicit in trolling.
Why that was allowed is not possible to know.
I was accused of fighting because I said my beliefs were not racist. I explained myself but the trolls were vicious.
if you look at how the white matter connects grey matter in the frontal lobe it is very clear that modules exist that direct learning.
its possible that how the neurons are composed that memory can grow faster or slower chemically within the modules.
It just depends on the cellular regulations genes can influence via protein synthesis of the cells dynamic cell structure.
brain signals highly dependent on myelination which has been shown to be influenced by genes in ADHD
but otherwise it can be shown that intelligence as is can be demonstrated in perception can take place in the back brain where the density of connections help people see better that allow them to process more visual information that items on tests require.
over all density of grey matter inside the modules can predict greater cognitive skills. That both can be influenced by growth patterns conditioned on gene differences.
I know that executive function is much better understood by more experienced people than myself.
I just am curious about it because that is where cognition in humans happens. Where thinking takes place. I am sure that this is what drives intelligence.
I made diagrams of the frontal lobe.
The precise way it utilizes memory you need to look at the grey matter circuits but what the modules do is helps us control thoughts. Information flows in certain ways that reinforce or makes us look at different options.
So it be in the way we chunk.
Which be in loops back and forth between the modules.
The mediation process comes from the placement of the modules and the hippocampus knowing when to connect the loops back to themselves.
Like in math we build on top of what we know. Attention is directed by trying to build up memory. That’s why the frontal lobes have their architecture set up as it is. To build it up.
If intelligence depends on how the brain builds atop itself.
I believe genes would mediate the process.
This be on the individual level since my genes don’t go in you cells or vise versa.
But it explain why some people have greater cognitive skills.
because genes mediate what parts of the brain grow at different rates.
A better way to calculate Movie IQ
Movie IQ = ((((critic – 50 + 15)+(public – 50)+100)/100)*0.31)+100
Movie quotient (critic/public) puts many movies at the mentally challenged range that should not be. My equation does better.
But u are mentally challenged. This website also is correct. Why r u lying.
Pill please stop insulting people
But he said he was mentaly challenged literally every day for 5 years.
Well, at least he insults people as one pseudonym and doesn’t do limp-wristed homoerotic trolling as a fake persona, like certain people…
I have bipolar and some form of ADHD anxiety. (OCD?) But I understand why depression can make me look like a mentally challenged person. Meds can do that. Yet my IQ is not below 100 or even near 70 as required to be mentally challenged. And its been 11 years btw since I started interacting with this blog not 5 years.
You could also say everyone is mentally challenged compared to Bill Gates IQ
I am just a normal person in the average range.
Mental illness is not comparable to clinical retardation.
Because bill gates is the pinnacle of knowing the deal
He can’t even walk down the street anymore or attend live events.
Honey I Blew Up The Baby
critic 38% public 24% on rotten tomatoes
movie quotient put that at a Movie IQ of 158
using my equation it becomes 92
Meaning its more accurate.
No one would say a movie that is bellow 50% of both critics and the public is a good movie. Not genius level.
Super Mario Bros came out about the same.
critic 26% public 30% making it IQ 86
but like honey i blew up the baby that is inacurate
at least 10% enjoyed it making it have a Movie IQ of 91
(at least 10% enjoyed it making it have a Movie IQ of 91)
I meant to say at least ~25% enjoying the movie is equal to ~91 IQ
Using my equation.
My movie list: the average year is 2002 (Average IQ 112)
Pumpkins list is from 1983 (Average IQ 122)
Older movies get better ratings because critics are older people.
I just wrote this poem and want to share
stop wasting water on ai. El nino is coming
AI?? I am insulted
Pumpkin,
I have some data on my bio demographics that would indicate an overall FSIQ of 118 Your Wechsler’s Autism Index (WAI) formula puts my index at 123 for the year 2016 I believe that FSIQ and WAI cancel out making my social intelligence at (94)
I know people think I am dumb sometimes but 94 is within a normal range of social intelligence. If you need the numbers I will send them to you by email if you ask.
I am curious still about my low working memory and processing speed. I do not believe they were low before. In high school they had me do lots of work. I think they went down because of depression. My test IQ fluctuates irradicably because of stress but overall I think I made life choices that were not poor given my condition.
I took the TABE in 2017 at age 30 it is a pretest for a GED where I scored in the bottom 4 percent of it but since its for high school proficiency 12th graders and most adults read only at the 8th grade level. The bottom 4 percentile is 73 (average at 324 on 5 subsections)
The GED pretest has a mean of 500 and SD of 100
114.329 = 62.333 + 4.333(12th grade)
114.329 – (100 – 73) = 87.329
(87.329 – 62.333)/4.333 = 5.768
or about a 6th grade reading level.
I am not saying I read poorly, but it would be expected on the GED test.
This is significant because it was at the time in my life I was most heavily medicated and most depressed. On the WAIS-4 at the time I got 106 furthermore I had not been in school for over 11 years. I did graduate high school and had a college scholarship when I graduated. I dropped out because of stress and no support from family.
PP, I just read that you are not currently publishing guest posts. Why not?
Because the guest posts people are submitting at this time don’t interest me and thus probably wouldn’t interest most readers
Are you receiving a continual stream of guest post submissions? “At this time” implies a large volume of recent submissions.
More than I expected
How many did you expect?
zero
I am sure you would let me have one anyway because mine are always so good, right?
so far
ok that is reasonable
sometimes I don’t make the best posts of interest
what are you into at the moment? What are you researching. Is there a level of math you find difficult?
hope I am not asking too many questions. You have not made a post in a long time.
Arthur Jenson seems to have an IQ of 140
what do people of the 130 variety like to read?
his book the g factor is much better than other books about IQ like hive mind (that book is for people around 110?)
I’m interested in objectively knowing that humans are smarter than AI but can’t find a human or AI that has anything intelligent to say on the subject so I’ll just have to say it myself

puppy if u let these ‘people’ guest post about ayn rand and atheism and animals japan manga there will be no more readers left in my opinion except ai.
Quantum mechanics says nothing about God so it’s not theistic or atheistic.
QM blur’s the line between math and empericism but to talk about Gods involvement you have to say God’s influence would be in manipulation of certain statistics outcomes like the spin of particles change when you touch them. God would need to touch specific particles to chang outcomes but he/it is not needed in the math of QM as it is now. That is why in metaphysical sense God being outside the universe to influence the universe could not be detected.
All we know it that by experiment we can know how to find out the shapes of atoms but to a precision. But on the macro level we don’t know if God effects things because God would more be like the butterfly effect which is beyond human calculations.
Funny you say that. I came on here a few days ago because I wanted a guest post about this topic.
Go for it. Let’s see if you have any insight.
I said it was a GENOCIDE, Day 1, Minute 1. You can all check my comment history to see where I stood. On the side of basic morality.
In the guest post I proposed I say that you do not need quantum mechanics for consciousness. Just because Penrose has a big working memory to think of multiple possibilities does not mean working memory is based on QM
The brain learns with the neurons absorbing the environment and not from energies outside the universe. Parents are what drive this not God. Also working memory is an internal feedback system for thinking. It allows what Penrose calls understanding of non computability. The brain is an open system. A computer can mimic open systems so his arguments break down.
So quantum mechanics is totally unnecessary to explain consciousness. QM I also explain the math behind it as a way of looking at possibilities through measurements. But it gets complicated though the calculations even if easier to understand.
God may influence the universe but you don’t need him/it to understand intelligence as a mechanism. The universe is still mysterious, spiritual forces may exist. But they are not explanations of everything. Physics is descriptive but does not explain the ontology of why things exist. So God is possible outside the universe. QM just is misunderstood as spiritual when it’s just descriptive.
The average Adult can do 6th grade math (Fractions and Ratios)
I can do 8th grade math (Basic Algebra)
I did some calculations and that is around an IQ of 113 whereas 12 grade math is around IQ 125
Since the information one can process doubles every 15 IQ points:
Working Memory = square root(2^(IQ/15 – 1))
My WM is about 9.62 (This is double the information of IQ 98)
If we round to 115 then I am twice as math smart as the average person.
Infomation = WM^2
Even if I did not go to college my math skills are the same as a 4 year degree. Because most people don’t need calculus as much to graduate college. I did not learn advanced math in the gifted classes in high school because for some reason I was ignored but I could have if I had different priorities. I did not think about college because I was isolated and people ignored me. I kind of still am isolated but I now have self awareness as an adult. It all depends on what I want in life. I like learning and that was all I focused on in school but now I need to make money to get more materials to learn from. If things become stable I could go back to college. Which I plan on doing. So I am getting a job soon.
Just finished chapter 8 of The g Factor
Signal propagation along neurons depends on many conditions. Neurons must have energy, they must be insolated, they must have waste transported away and they must reset to send another signals. this creates the speed and density and complexity of brainwaves. For example capillaries deliver nutrients like oxygen and glucose to neurons. Glial cells maintain healthy habitation of connections by cleaning nerve tissues and promoting branching/growth.
All this is a molecular self regulating process. When signals can go longer distances and not be interfered with then they are faster and can process more information along the channels of the brains hierarchical structures. All this can be done with different sets of molecules via protein synthesis. From a DNA test I learned that my Mitochondria has an allele for more efficient repairing of its DNA and since mitochondria are important for energy of the cells my brain functions better than if I had the other allele. It is small things like this that add together that makes the brain process more information. So some people have a yuge acumination of alleles to be more intelligent than average and even genius level.
And by the way. All this can be empirically demonstrated.
Even if people say that conceptual arguments disprove this, not all conceptual arguments are true (we cannot define all arguments as true because of the limits language, they contradict each other) but we can say that empirical results matter more. Some people obvious learn faster and are more intelligent not by conditioning (blank slateism) but because of biological/molecular reasons I just explained. Different combinations can lead to the same results but it is a physical process that can be verified.
Those that say I don’t understand, are morally bankrupt.
Dualism is not an invalidation of anything I said here.
Regarding my last comment.
I don’t want to be in any more fights.
All I will say is that the science of chemistry and biology supports my views on where intelligence comes from. And that they are not racist or stupid. Since pp is way more intelligent than me in comparison people can pick on me easier. That does not make my views inferior. As I see it other people try to spread propaganda against real science and so I disagreed. That disagreement has always been me trying to explain my view honestly and not me trying to brainwash others which is what I believe people were doing and I would not comply because I felt that it was wrong. Not because of racism, autism or stupidity.
I will not mention anymore anything in reference to anyone about anything they did in the past but I still will explain why a person is right or wrong if they talk to me because I believe open debate is still productive.
I believe that there are advanced math models of real world systems not commonly available to the public. Pumpkin Person works for some political agency so probably has access to software you can buy online / download to your computer for a price. These models be able to simulate many possibilities of where elections could go. But also traffic signals and shipping products in real time like to Walmart.
The PlayStation 5 is very advanced, the only time I played on a PlayStation was number 3 station grand theft auto. They want to come out with the PS6 soon. It is supposed to use a chip that has a direct line from memory to compute so no lag exists. No load screens.
I just think that if you had a PlayStation 6 and be able to program it you could simulate many possibilities which is what quantum mechanics is about. But at the macro level not just atomic. The math is what matters but you need a computer to really get things done. Doing it by hand is hard. Much harder. Computers let you get to the most probable outcome faster.
You just need access to the tools to get things done but I like to learn the math since that how you can formulate the problems. Like multiple Monte Carlo Markov Chains they use at Wal Street firms.
Some software can analyze big data sets. Like I have 35 gigabytes of data on my old computer I like to program into an a.i. system. Its only a matter of finding it and paying for it. Big firms do this but I want to keep my data private and on a local system.

Yes quantum mechanics does seem to change outcomes but we can calculate them. God would be so big that anything happing in the world be undetectable. Butterfly effects mean we don’t know wich counterfactuals are by God or not. That’s not atheism. Its uncertainty on the human level. The math is just different from what’s expected we can know. QM helps only a little bit.
We just have ways of understanding intelligence that doesn’t involve energy out side the universe. Feedback mechanisms are very powerful maths so much so we can say God would need to be doing something else not that he/it doesn’t exist.
Since QM is uncertain at the human level thus the probability cloud.
We could say at the 4D level God would see the outcomes and make subtle edits to direct things.
Humans cannot think in 4D but God could and why he would edit things such to make things as they are.
But they be subtle.
Not controlling every atom in the brain. Feedback is still primarily.
Penrose and others think trillions upon trillion of atoms need to be controlled for consciousness.
In reality you just need self organization.
Most things are automatic not micromanaged in the nervous system.
just like cell homeostasis
I am fiscally conservative but socially liberal.
gay people don’t bother me
but I support the military
trouble is that politics is based on personality
you don’t get smart conservatives anymore but the liberals are insane and sometimes against free speech and other things. Being smart means you can do bad things with your smarts. Smarts are not equal to being morally good. It’s just that being words smart makes them deceptive. For conservatives being spatial smart can lead to lack of verbal so not understanding how to reason cause and effect in such a way that goes against their emotions.
both have bad and good emotions
both can be dangerous though
when they banned abortion in texas I think rapes skyrocketed.
so I cannot vote Republican in my state. Even if the economy is bad here.
I will try and vote as many green party people as possible.
i don’t like democrats or republicans
i just think that republicans are worse on domestic issues.
it is not a win win

Humans are not all the same intelligence level but if we look at why a.i. fails it is because of embodiment.
In terms of large language modeling it cannot control robots because it looses track of what it does. So very poor executive functioning. Acts like a nut.
This may not be the case long but currently humans are superior for that reason. Even ADHD people can do better because of evolution making the body function in 3D – I have problems with EF but can get by. LLMs just can’t. Today’s robots are preprogrammed to do tasks, cannot learn new ones by themselves.
I can learn math better because of spatial embodiment. The math solvers were around since the 1980s and a.i. cannot understand reasons behind math to invent new things.
Big data centers.
I wonder how they are maintained.
Programming them is hard?
Many data breaches have happened so I am concerned about safety.
Do corporations really have our best interest at heart?
Privacy is the concern.
My energy is often low.
IQ tests need you to sustain awareness for about two hours given waking up arriving waiting in the office then leaving.
Its just harder because I feel sleep deprived all the time. It’s my condition.
I am going to research twice exceptional. Maybe it will explain things better. No one really tells me anything.
How is this not Anime? Explain
If its not anime, then its you with that weird split personality crap again
My personalities actually have personality, like the brilliant and irreverent Marsha
Executive Functioning not IQ seems to be the best indicator of finishing college whether that is a bachelors a masters or PhD.
There is no correlation between EF and IQ it is just that people who can plan out there lives have better chance of getting things done that they need to get done in order to complete school. Intelligence does not need to be high up so long as you pace your studying and only focus on what you need to do. You do not need to do extra stuff nor understand most stuff. As long as a curriculum exists, you go page by page. Dutifully, conscientiously. That’s all that matters.
Basically this means you need good cognitive control circuits to function which are separate circuits from intelligence they measure on the WAIS or Binet. It is why my sister has a job and I don’t. She can see what needs to be done and do it. I faulter at every step. I need structure to get anything done. I want to understand what I am doing not just memorize.
They say college is just signaling to create a new elite class for aspects of what they want it to be. But it is never mentioned that what those aspects are only that they are bad for right wingers. But at the end of the day college people have a form of conscientiousness in the frontal lobes that allow them to function with school. The cognitive control circuit that allows academic work.
Yes the aspects of diversity inclusion and temperament still exist. But the real determining factor is cognitive control to get school work done. Emotions make some people hate school so go into military or other physical labor but that is control in a different way. Both liberal and conservatives have control circuits but emotions make them different. Both go to schools but not the same schools.
So those without cognitive control just were left out. Strong emotions exist make it hard to go into academics but you can still go to trade schools and physical stuff. The bottom 50% still be unable to do college because it require Executive control not intelligence per say. Not because college is creating a new elite. Temperament plays in only when working with others in different ways still have EF on both sides rather the bottom half would not be inclined to join either right or left jobs demanding high control of cognition.
As it is that is how people accumulate resources not by IQ alone. We could also say emotional intelligence is just executive control in disguise so that would be the reason IQ tests don’t measure it. We cannot through away cognitive control even if it has no correlation to intelligence just because it would be associated with or just is emotional intelligence. No executive cognition can take place without emotion.
If EF has no correlation with IQ than we as amateur psychometrists need to pack it in because IQ is not measuring intelligence
In response to pp on EF because my comment was deleted:
Maybe I phrase things incorrectly. Executive function is not one thing it overlaps with IQ but is not the same as IQ – The least IQ related executive function is emotional regulation. Metacognition is more dependent on Working memory so is highly related to IQ
–
Working Memory / Updating (High Correlation)
Inhibition and Shifting (Low to Non-Existent Correlation)
–

Executive function is what helps you get things done more so than just IQ which is more perceptual. EF is the bases for self regulation after all so the primary thing about it is emotions and remembering what is important to do (prioritizing). If you forget all the time or have trouble with EF you can do perfectly good on IQ but not in real life scenarios.
That test trump took means even if his working memory is low he can do more that average people his age getting dementia like my mom and aunt have right now. That test was not measuring IQ but something very important.
I cannot be 100% sure which EF skills I lack but they make it super hard to get things done. I have to overcompensate with spatial and verbal skills in seeing what I can do in the immediate present situations but I cannot plan out or think far in advance. I am not batman.
I can manipulate things in my environment in gifted ways but not remember to take the laundry soap with me to the laundry mat. People with a removed hippocamps do well on IQ tests as much as the average norm but they have sever deficits that would not be measurable by it. That is not my problem, my sort term memory sucks. I have to organize and keep things structured or I fail all the time.
These two people made a more comprehensive test than IQ because it includes executive functioning as part of intelligence. Not just perceptual but what is needed for self regulation. The first is an ADHD expert.

When you have ADHD your cognitive maturity is 30% slower.

How many personalities do u have?
Pill,
I found a video that will explain macro economics even for your limited mind to understand.
summary:
Corporations started to consolidate workers into roles where they had to do more to make less money. There stocks went up temporarily but the strain on workers kept growing until the system started to break down.
They went for sort term gains over the long term health of the economy.
I guess your plan pill to burn buildings down like black lives matter might work but I highly doubt it because that is just another form of sort term thinking.

I don’t know if Marsha was real (she may be hiding to protect her self interest) but I do know a 170 IQ person would understand why you need embodiment for executive functioning to work properly in a.i. _ At least they would not call it gibberish.
I met several people online would have the same intelligence and personality as bruno or cartouche
Yet it was in a more respectable seting.
I was not made fun of by such people then.
It simply is that I make statements that are not smart sometimes but I learned how to interact peaceably. And if I were to be corrected it would be honorably within the venue.
I said I will be more respectful so I will here but that is still hard to do.
If statements I make are inaccurate please elaborate, don’t just mock.
Well marsha may be an example of a spectacular iq individual who isn’t an autistic robot. That’s very rare.
Did you change your WordPress settings pp

I didn’t change anything
Something that never made sense to me is that if IQ is only based on middle class knowledge acquisition then there would be no bell curve. Everyone would only learn what they are taught and no one would get higher scores.
To explain: If you are a prodigy kid and you learn ten times faster than normal kids then you will absorb the middle class knowledge faster and more than just that because you can go to other libraries and read way beyond your grade level. But how would spatial be explained?
Since such a kid mastered so much you would not only get high vocab and high working memory but necessarily high spatial IQ of such kids on average. So what explains the spatial intelligence of gifted student in spatial? What books create high spatial intelligence? It makes no sense since all middle class knowledge is the same all kids be equal on spatial and verbal. Genius kids and non genius kid would score the same on any IQ test. Spatial, since middleclass knowledge is only verbal supposedly, is not taught any different from verbal. Yet high sores exist without verbal sometimes.
The fact is that some kids even if they are exposed to middle class knowledge do better on spatial because IQ is not just about verbal knowledge. Specifically fluid intelligence is made to be non culturally loaded in what kids can do because spatial is not taught in school and if it was it not make any kid score above the middle. All verbal knowledge would be the same giving all kids IQ 100 and none above 100 because by default they all are the same learning in school so the same for spatial. Could spatial be learned outside school? perhaps but still not go into gifted ranges to make the curve.
Since you would need special training to be above the average middle class knowledge to get high scores you need upper class knowledge? Makes no sense because lots of upper class kids score bad on spatial and lots of lower class kids score high on spatial. Same for vocab. Meaning no one is supposed to be above middle class if all kids are the same IQ / intelligence level. Noise is a factor but not enough to say why a bell curve exist if there are no smart kids who are above middle class knowledge beyond what they are taught. Some kids actually exist who are more intelligent so the curve exists otherwise they all be the same by what they were taught.
Practically I missed several years of school early so my math is bad and need to check it to proof it often but my verbal and spatial are high up. Math needs early intervention to learn but does not affect verbal or spatial. Math is harder to catch up on. IQ tests make it clear you have people high up in scores not because of schooling by itself. School is mostly about symbols and information but when you have child development involved that tells you nothing about IQ since IQ is normed for age level. A smart kid age 8 can be above his peers just as a kid 16 can be above his peers. Specifical it is I why IQ tests predict schools and not schooling predicting IQ – psychometricians are not stupid, IQ tests were made to predict intelligence separate from schooling for a long time now.
IQ tests are not the best. I bet psychometricians can do better than Full scale IQ. There is a profile to Intelligence and that should tell us something about the brain. Several networks exist in it and if you measure brainwaves it not be as messy or low resolution as the noise of IQ tests. It be based on a persons brain and what profile it has. What I am saying is that you actually have a better evaluation at the individual level.
In fact they have what is known as QEEG (quantitative electro encephalography) Several organizations already use it but its for commercial use not FDA approved. Because the FDA does not want to pay for the research these companies did it themselves. They know allot more than the academic medical system what the brain can do. At least some things they can do better.
A cell phone can do trillions of calculations a second. How would the study of the brain by EEG not be improved by it? You just need money and an appointment. I think they can show you at some resolution in 3D now what your brain does in real time even at the subcortical level as certain signatures are associated with the amygdala and other parts connected together. Prior knowledge of wiring in brains circuits can help map it.
U retired now. U blog once every 3 months.
Give me the keys to the blog. I will turn it into a celeb gossip blog and reader numbers will skyrcoket
Anyone can make content that attracts audiences. Its called spam.
Pumpkin is one of the few people who talks about IQ
Dime a dozen celeb stuff would make the uniqueness go away.
Celebrity gossip is what people do when their lives are empty.
That is the audience pill wants to appeal to. people like himself, empty
There is so much more to life than just imagining you have friends who are rich and famous. (The rich and famous often turn to drugs and sensualism because they don’t have meaning in there lives)
Para-social relationships don’t bring anything to you other than something to do when you get home from work.
Its like being interested in shoes
Not shoes as a hobby but because the celeb wore them, the basketball player, or the dress she wore on stage.
Its idol worship
–
I suppose it is because if you feel like you are around people better than yourself you can feel good. Meaning in life is hard to find. I just think that people are addicted to things that have no substance. We evolved as hunter gatherers but beyond that people being interested in people is shallow. too many exist to have real connection.
Shutup celeb gossip is for severly high iq people with social intelligence
false. High IQ people with social intelligence are interested in politics, not celebs.
people < events < ideas
temporary politics may take some social intelligence to make accurate predictions or even to get elected in an election cycle.
but civilization will change in 50 years
which is more interesting to think about the impacts on society
How will people be different due to those changes can barely be imagined in stories.
I bet some people predicted what social media would do but not many.
Others things besides social media will bring more change.
Actually I’m joking about a blm republican president. It would most likely be rubio. Not vance
Puppy will endorse reparations. Puppy will say its good for gee dee pee . Then Puppy will announce his transition to becoming a black woman.
I am reading several books at the moment.
Susan Blackmore: Consciousness and Introduction Second Adition
And a second book I am about to start
Matter Matters: Metaphysics and Methodology in the Early Modern Period
The second book is more abstract, I bought it when I was 23 but was not able to read it up till now “38”. I believe it to be a book for obtaining a masters degree in philosophy. I read and understood a quarter of it when 23 but some people can understand it fully at that age. Both books are from Oxford University.
I was wondering if pumpkin person could tell me what level of intelligence is required to read such books given what I said about them in particular the subject areas and my age. The first book is very easy to understand but I am older now than when I bought it. It seems I do not understand things until much later in life.
Even if you had the intelligence to understand these. You wouldnt have the neurotype to know these.
It would be like reading a BLM book. Although I could understand it. I wouldnt be black and actually feel like [redacted by pp, Halloween 2026]
It is unrealistic you know what neurotypes are.
For I have known them all already, known them all:
Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons,
I have measured out my life with coffee spoons;
I know the voices dying with a dying fall
Beneath the music from a farther room.
Normal people do not do drugs like you believe.
Being High all the time is not normal.
Normal people hold steady jobs and are responsible.
Being on welfare does not automatically make me have autism.
Being on welfare can be normal for a segment of the population.
Usually welfare is for the mentally ill or disabled.
Puppys world is falling to pieces. [redacted by pp, Halloween 2026]
I still cannot believe pill believes you can stop the billionaires with a music concert.
How can someone be so stupid to believe economics works that way?
if people “worked together” then the billionaire would simply be replaced not eliminated.
If people fight over little things like abortion how can they decide where the money goes?
In less than a generation new people would accumulate money because of the capitalist system so you’d need a new system to stop this from happening.
If the government does not change the system who will? music concerts?
defacto: if we changed the system by the people working together that be a government, pill has no idea how to make a government work without capitalism.
“I still cannot believe pill believes you can stop the billionaires with a music concert.”
Citation? When did I say that? Name 1 time in human history I said that
https://pumpkinperson.com/2026/06/19/brain-the-size-of-a-basketball/comment-page-3/#comment-270087
“This song answers your questions on how people can work together.”
go read the comments on the first section of the comment page
all your responses are like not intelligent to anything I say
any group of people IQ 100 cannot make a system better than capitalism (nor can the japanese)
This is what pill thinks a non autistic person is:
a person who is sensation seeking
a person who does drugs because of such seeking
a person with uncontrol emotions
a person who acts like a crack head
–
100% these people either hurt themselves or get killed in acidents
My friend died because they did not want to wear there seatbelt
Other people I know are on drugs and its not ok
being normal is to pill about recklessness
why?
narcissistic attention thrills don’t make people normal or responsible
The normal person is a drone, does not do what pill thinks the normal person does.
The job the majority of people have had: over half the population has worked at a fast food place.
Then they go home and watch tv
pills views are totally skewed
Puppy should dress up as a BLM activist and visit south side chicago and time how long it takes before they pull his teeth out.
pills logic is simple:
if you ain’t on drugs your autistic
(a sensation seeker, an extravert)
you cannot be normal without it
