Most teachers K-12 are women. Boys are put on drugs because the women teachers don’t have the right skills to teach them. Most classes are taught with feminist speak. The LSAT is riddled with fem questions. What does the seating at a tea party have to do with the law?
LOL. You are still replying to a four day old thread. Someone in the main comments pointed you out and I was like "hey there's a dead body down by the creek, lets go poke him with a stick.". And here you are, triggered and pathetic as everyone said you'd be.
I Q tests measure 4 of the actual 20 or so functions of what constitutes A real IQ the mathematical and spatial parts are way behind things like physical reaction time. Adapting under stress and being able to alter plans on the fly as situations develop from memory I believe that the parts about reasoning and adjusting spatial patterns is about number seven. Following speed of reaction and adapting under pressure there is the ability to project a situation forward in time and change plans. Most people harping about IQ high or low have so limited a range that they would have never survived in any time but the last century or so.
"The hours of folly are measured by the clock, but of wisdom no clock can measure" (William Blake, The Marriage of Heaven and Hell). I've long felt that way about IQ tests--if I recall correctly, they depend on completing tasks in a measured amount of time. If so, in my book, that puts them down to the level of a yuppie "brightness" index. If there is no measure for the ability to think deeply in these tests, they are essentially worthless.
The more someone brags about their intelligence the dumber they are. This is science. It’s like if you’re actually cool you don’t give two shits about looking cool. The harder you try to look cool the less cool you are. This is also science.
"societal cohesion relies primarily on a shared culture ... "
Like the ideals of democracy, the Bill of Rights, the rule of law, one person = one vote, due process, three coequal branches of government, checks and balances?
"skeptical about rapid social change ... "
Like destroying centuries'-old traditions and institutions by fiat at the whim of one sociopath?
"positing that freedom is viable only within a framework of precise societal rules ... "
Like laws governing the ownership and use of lethal weapons?
Cut that out, you right-winger! But seriously, excellent takedown of these "conservative" fools. I understand that Edmund Burke's formulation entailed something like slow, organic change, but ever since Mary Wollstonecraft, that position has been successfully opposed by people pointing out that it reduces rather neatly to stupid right-wing sentimentality and nostalgia for an invented "noble past." You know, back when servants knew their place and didn't yammer about freedom and other nefarious concepts created by the Devil to frustrate the Good Lord's perfect order.
Sounds like it, yeah. Example number one billion that being conservative is not necessarily a bad thing, it's just that a wave of monsters took over the USA political party that is considered the more conservative party.
Ta, Robyn. Way, way back in days of old when I was in school, the test (no matter the subject) was my weapon. I had an English teacher just out of university, who graded on the curve. I did extra credit work, and got the only A. I was already despised and treated badly, but there was nothing the assholes could do to fuck up my grades.
That said, IQ tests are a measure of how well one can read and comprehend, and how thoroughly one is acculturated to the status quo.
I still do well on tests. The only thing I studied for the GED was geometry, because I never took 11th grade and didn't know the formulas. I was deemed "college ready" in every other subject. I passed math by one point. It was enough.
Whether IQ measures intelligence or even if intelligence is measurable is one question...but what is not questionable is the absurdity of all the spam that begins: if you can answer X number of these questions you have an IQ higher than X. There is no necessary connection between intelligence and
factual knowledge. Note: 'necessary'. A person who is inquisitive AND literate will tend to acquire knowledge. But a person can be 'force fed' data, as in a cram school, be able to regurgitate it, and still be very slow to interpret or analyse any of the material.
However, not being a super brain myself, I cannot believe there are not very smart people.
I am not right wing, and also think the US brand of conservatism is giving it a bad name, along with their buddies in Hungary. But are there Newtons and Einsteins who have a lot more of something?
They have more than me.
Oh: The US President is one of the dumbest people ever recorded.
But to believe in dumbness, we must acknowledge its opposite .
Most humans have plenty of intellectual capacity, but the trouble is that they are either not brought up to use it, or actively discouraged from doing so for highly motivated reasons. That's why the great Enlightenment "philosophes" placed so much emphasis on education. They considered human nature perfectible or at least improvable, and they knew that education was necessary to bring out humans' best qualities and potential. Our dear brothers and sisters the so-called conservatives seem to think they learned everything they needed to know by the third grade and that everyone else should be prevented from moving beyond that level, too.
I hope you’re not so far through the looking-glass that you can never make it back to reality. It is particularly absurd to demand “civility” in the face of a full-on Nazi assault against democracy.

So many assertions, so few facts.

Damn, dude. *triiiggggered*
Mommy issues?
You need to be sent to "MONDAY NIGHT REHABILITATION".
So triggered one reply wasn't enough?
You are the triggered one simply by posting the original comment and your continued responses to my correct and provable conclusions.
LOL. You are still replying to a four day old thread. Someone in the main comments pointed you out and I was like "hey there's a dead body down by the creek, lets go poke him with a stick.". And here you are, triggered and pathetic as everyone said you'd be.
ROFLMAO. Looks like I am the one who "triggered" you and am now living in your head REST FREE. HAHAHAHAHA
All I can do is laugh

I don’t need a study to tell me what I already now 😂
lol normal people don’t vote for and support senile pedophile rapists, you dumb fuck.
Well duh😁
I’m almost out of grey poupon.

Trad wife law- accusations tend to be confessions
I'm not shocked. But if you ask Con men who are smarter... They'll let you know they are and how.
Right-wing men: IQ is important! IQ!!!
Also right-wing men: Women shouldn't be allowed to have IQ! And if they do, they shouldn't be allowed to use it!!!
obviously

Their IQ's may be low, but their certitude is off the charts.
Willful ignorance is a badge of honor on the right
Y'know, it's funny. This is exactly what I was talking about. You are demonstrating the kind of unearned certitude I was just taking about.
Thanks! Couldn't have said it better
