what if i was doing fractions, multiplication, and long division while other kindergarteners were learning to count? and skipped the 1st and 2nd grades? and got 1520 on my SATs before they re-normalized the scores in 1994 or whenever? and accumulated about 8 classes' worth of AP credit from a public high school? and did a bachelors' and masters' degrees in EE / CS from MIT in 4 years (really 3.5 on campus as i did a semester co-op work), while taking 6 or 7 classes a semester and still graduating with a 3.8 [4.8 in MIT speak]? am i that one poster?

There's a word for a lot of what's going on in this thread: Anosognosia.

It means, basically, being so stupid that you think you aren't stupid. Not only are you too stupid to recognize smart; you're so stupid that you assume that someone smarter than you must be like you, only more so.

Passive aggressive and ineffectual

This is why you couldn't do better than Steve Coran.

Why is an idiot like you in this thread?

Wait, never mind.

This thread is a hilarious troll. It's brought all the delusional idiots who think they're intelligent out of the woodwork.

NEWSFLASH LOSERS: You don't have a 140+ IQ. Only a tiny fraction of the population has an IQ that high, and no matter what type of self-selection bias you think is shown in posters here (unlikely to be any, frankly), there's NO FUCKING WAY more than one poster here could conceivably have an IQ that high. Even that is highly doubtful.

It's true

I'm not a pessimist, but one of my good friends says i'm too smart to be an eternal optimist. which is true and kinda sucks.

. said:

It's even MORE true of the throngs of sub-140-IQ tards who have taken some faked-up test and have come to the FALSE CONCLUSION that their IQ is above 140.

Yeah, dumbshit, she's obviously not marriage material. That's not what we're talking about here, but virgins like you wouldn't understand.

Fat doesn't burn calories. If it did, then why the fuck would we have evolved it? A fat cell exists to store energy, not to burn it up like a muscle cell.

Spanky doesn't burn any more calories than any man his height. In fact, he burns less since he's more lethargic.

This is the biggest illusion fat people have.

Does this make sense to you:

"I'm fat, so therefore I need to eat more."

Of course not. It's the addiction talking.

Take two people.

One with an IQ of 140, but a marginal amount of ambition.

One with an IQ of 100, but a laser focus on achievement and success.

The second person will come out on top every single time because people are inherently social animals. The willingness to network and be an agreeable person will trump raw brainpower in almost every conceivable scenario.

Case in point, Carly Fiorina.

There are many years of research that suggest otherwise. On top of this you are strongly implying that you get poor scores on IQ tests - and we already know that you are a fucking idiot. This tends to suggest that the tests work.

A lot of students and smart people are lazy and undisciplined so students with lower IQs can make up for it with more effort preparedness, not being overly confident and get better grades. Doesn't mean your intelligence level is higher.

I've been tested to between 135 and 140 several times, have a MENSA card.

Obama says some really stupid things from time to time. Not that I don't... but I don't have speech writers working around the clock for me.

As smart as I am, I still make dumb choices, and that's why I'm here on FC on a Friday night.

You need an 120 IQ to be successful in college. 120 should be the minimum to succeed at college work. Below this level and people start to have problems. And Obama graduated from Harvard Law School and was Editor of the Harvard Law Review. And he graduated with honors. Even if he was an affirmative action admission you still need a basic level of IQ to perform these roles. I'd say he has at LEAST an 125 IQ. Bare minimum.

Bush couldn't even get into Law School. U of Texas rejected him.

I'd say 115. It's above average, but lukewarm for a president.

"Maria is the top talent on our janitorial staff. She is the best wastebasket emptier, sweeper, duster and mopper ever. We pay her $54,000 a year because of her great talent."

Maria is not even a Janitorial Crew Supervisor, just job title "Janitor".

Meanwhile, bilingual elementary school teachers are paid $30,000 a year after 6 years of higher education. Makes sense. Got to keep those priotities straight.

And while firemen are surely important, as are police, some of those salaries are outrageous.

I might add... this outcome (pleading down) means the DPP think they have "won" or "done justice"... it then sets a precedent for the DPP to prosecute more BS cases like this.
