Tiaan De Swardt2 days ago The fact that your IQ starts dropping at 22-23 is frankly terrifying. I only have 4-5 years of prime time left!
marsjacobvolta1 day ago I was 147 last time I checked. I relate to this man so much because people single me out as the smart guy but its only because i can articulate my thoughts and I know my model of reality well. I don't feel smart, I just feel articulate. Most people are incurious because learning forces the intellectual humility that their weak souls can't take. People want to feel like they know what will happen next. We just can't.
Magister Ludi1 day ago breakingthemasks same. I sat Mensa test when I was 17 or 18 and just failed by 2 points. I am forever having to dumb down to avoid alienating myself. Its quite frustrating.
Larvitar Dratini5 hours ago I have aspergers and I guess people with aspergers and other ASDs tend to be very good at memorizing and recognizing patterns which is a big part of IQ testing. When I got diagnosed with aspergers the doctor gave me 3 IQ tests and I scored 179, 184, and 186 on them.

I've listened to about three hours of discussion between JP and Sam Harris, who has brought some astonishing geniuses onto his podcast. I also listened to about half the interview you linked and it was so laughable I could barely focus. I think I've served my time.
Canadian professor Jordan Peterson makes shocking discovery that ancient cultures applied symbolic meaning to animals, freaks out at the prospect of a random stranger wanting to be called a he instead of a she.
again, if you bothered to listen, what peterson has to say will make you rethink what religion offers, and at the very least, make you question what the long history of humanity makes us inclined towards in modern day society
egyptian frog - symbol of the fertility of the nile
nile - floods destroyed the earliest egyptian civilizations repeatedly before being used properly to develop agriculture and bring prosperity to the egyptian people
frog then literally goes on to represent gods to egyptian people, both in the evil and the good sense of divine powers being wrought upon them through natural means
idk if you are illiterate or what, but he's dead on when he says the frog represents a degree of ambiguity from the get-go to the earliest human societies
umm... except that language literally is a defense mechanism of humanity, attempting to create more sophisticated communication as a means to better coordinate survival.
and im pretty sure i know postmodernism as a linguistic term better than you, just off of what you said.
and no, he doesnt derive all the stories to a conclusion of "nothing" - that's on you, kiddo. you are the one draining his argument of its worth and boiling it down into meaninglessness, because apparently that's all you know how to grasp from a conversation that uses words you're unfamiliar with
he literally says the only thing he has a problem with is people that are playing up their gender identity simply for the sake of claiming to represent the breadth of that identity.
The dude was born and raised religious and is still a diehard Christian who will resort to infinite linguistic gymnastics in order to concoct a worldview that aligns with his pathological conviction that trans people are sinister mentally ill revolutionaries who are (a) butthurt that America won the Cold War and (b) going to hell for being gay.
