I know of at least one 160 IQ person and he is smarter than me. You don't even demonstrate Mensa 132 level, which I am above.

doesnt actually prove you have a high IQ, it just proves that you are a racist with a possible eugenist streak.

Again you demonstrate very low comprehension skills. You didn't discern that in the linked post I was presenting links from James A Donald, not my own views.

Not your own views? And I quote,

Quote

Alex is often over dramatic and sensationalizes everything, as well he is often too loose on the facts.

Nevertheless, he is very much correct in what he said in this video, in terms of the USA being dumbed down, with low IQ races, violent races, eugenics, and feminism then mind programmed into zombie society of feminine "males" and asexual females.

How can you say that the views that some races have low IQ and are predisposed to violence are views you agree with, but which at the same time are not yours? You either agree and hold the same views, or disagree and hold opposite ones.

The average IQ of blacks and American natives (other than those who migrated from Europe, e.g. the 5% Cherokee of which I am) is in fact lower than whites.

Also they commit more violence.

That is undeniable fact. It doesn't mean I agree with James' racism. Note the difference between discriminating illogically on race and forming logical decisions about race based in fact.

I would not assume every black man is not intelligent. I would look at each person individually. Yet it is a fact, that if you want to drive socialism, then filling up the country with lower IQ races is a reasonable strategy.

In fact, I grew up in inner-city Baton Rouge and New Orleans and was in schools where my sister and I were the only white kids, and my hair was always oily because every student wanted to feel my fine hair as they had never touched a white person before. I watched my cousin get her ear lopped off by a black attacker on the porch of my grandmother's house, and I couldn't get outside to help because I was looking through the bedroom window. So to accuse me of being rascist is ludicrous. I have had innumerable friends of all races.

So my view is much more nuanced than James' and is closer to Eric S Raymond's views on racism.

How you conflate my objectivism and not conflating issues that most people conflate, to eugenics is another example of dumb or insolent people conflating everything.

I wrote an email to the guy who claims to have the highest IQ ever measured and told him that sterilizing the low IQ as he was proposing would be a disaster, for numerous reasons including but not limited to:

1. knowledge is not exclusively generated by those who inherit from high IQ parents
2. IQ is not a sole determinant of how mankind remains resilient.
3. Knowledge anneals from accretive processes which are path dependent and chaotic, i.e. non-deterministic and serendipity
4. Lopping off the lower half of the IQ bell curve would create a new bell curve in the upper half and shift the same conceptual issues to it.
5. IQ is not the sole determinant of intelligence, which is a more diverse phenomenon than 'g'.
6. IQ is not the only way humans adapt to challenges.

And FYI, if you like logicky computery stuff, I started programming as soon as I got my first computer (BASIC on Tandy 1000), then on TI graphing calculators, then in school classes, where my final project surpassed my teacher's level of understanding. I then got a job doing software development and debugging in Java, C++, and PHP as soon as I turned 18. My last programming position was as the IT manager and project developer of McDonald's Corporation's east coast region, until the dot com bubble burst, my job was outsourced, and, seeing the looming threat of India, I switched to finance. I never really stopped programming though, mostly doing it in Second Life through my finance degree, and Perl for some personal projects more recently.

It is difficult to discern from that short description your level of expertise. Please I don't want to turn this thread into a discussion that is way off-topic.

Besides programming I also own a MAGLEV "company" that owns a few linear motor and magnetic levitation patents, which I am still improving with mechanical and electrical engineering skills. I don't have an affinity for language arts. It's just something I do along with my other hobbies, which even include flying planes and practicing Kendo and Iaido (Japanese sword based martial arts; hoping finally for black belt on the test this January).
By the way, I don't remember what I got on my SATs. It was something between 1,200 and 1,400, but I didn't care because it was a somewhat dark time of my life and I didn't plan on going to college then anyway. But I did nearly max out my GMAT scores, and got the highest score possible on the composition and writing comprehension section. In this case, knowing so many languages, and thus the roots, meanings, and alternatives to many words, did help. GMAT, if you don't know, is a Master's level SAT. And don't let the M for Management fool you, the math in it gets ridiculously difficult.

Of course there is so much material out there to learn, perhaps only a polymath can really consume any where close to a majority of it.

And, despite all this, I really don't care if you think I am a moron, a liar, or whatever else you might think of me. You are not that important. All my history is not that important, either. Frankly, I never told this to anyone, since I'm not one to brag (but since you started it, I figured it might be fun). Because, unlike you, I don't think who I am, or what I did or do, is anywhere as important on an anonymous forum as what you actually say, what you contribute, and how cordial you are when you are doing it. Reputation is everything, and your shit-brown Ignore button doesn't bode well for you. Tongue

I still can't correlate your description of your abilities to your entire lack of comprehension of this thread.

However, there is a very plausible explanation. Your feeling of animosity towards me (or anyone who challenges Bitcoin your God) shut down your desire to read and consider it carefully. You were predisposed to flying off the handle and prejudging it, because you've encountered so many crackpots over the years in various forums, etc.

It could also my slacker style of communication where I don't carefully construct my prose and OP to make it more comprehensible in small morsels.
