An interesting discussion regarding the limitations of IQ and touches on social engineering.

https://youtu.be/iF8F7tjmy_U


The requirements of technology seem to be making things easier for society, but is this a whitewashing of our limitations?

Watch the first 1 minute of this one... at least.

And here is where I started crying :

I knew a gal in the 90's, Harvard MBA, honors, Mensa, etc. Very high IQ.

She was batshit crazy and lived in a garage in Ballard.
Think she did some time in an asylum, was convinced her entire extended family used to rape her.
Like more than a dozen of them.
She wrote several books, like reading 'one flew over the cuckoos nest'.

I've also known Mensa members that had less common sense than most 3rd graders.

So far, neither of those comments seems to relate to the subject of the videos in any way. :ROFLMAO:

I wouldn't worry about the balrog. She knows how to disguise herself. :wink05:



And, you don't think maybe Jordan is a bit 'invested' in the subject do you? LOL He gets quite heated in his discussion.

Invested... I'm not sure how you're using that word.
He's sincere and seems to be firing on all cylinders from my viewpoint.

This switches the topic from IQ and more towards modern Marxism and egalitarianism (so I guess still on topic , hah .)

People get into heated discussions for various reasons. Sometimes they are correct and are being faced with ignorant "opponents" (when not even looking for a disagreement, just an exchange of ideas and opinions.)
Sometimes people get heated when their strongly held position is being systematically dismantled by an "opponent" with a superior position or understanding...

So far in my readings and viewings, Dr Peterson seems to fall into the former group. Even then, he remains remarkably calm and coherent.
