His giant forehead is framed by combed back hair that gives a look of an aura that is the result of his intelligence emanating from his gigabrain through said forehead

>>16768331>also a professional bodybuilderHe's a fucking fatass, i can tell from that picture alone. Is he one of those guys who buy a belt and claim to be powerlifters? If so, all testing ought to be repeated, because that is something I'd associate with -1 standard deviation.
>>16768331>took the test in 1986>took it twice under different pseudonyms to improve his score>test was of very dubious quality, self-administered without a time limit lmao>only belongs to some special snowflake high IQ society no one cares about with 20ish members>Mensa never accepted him because the test was shit>never confirmed his IQ through any test that isn't self-administered and with an actual time limit>is a fat college dropoutThis guy's story is an IQ test itself.
>>16768511He got a perfect score on the SAT back when that was a credible 165+ signal, and he finished the test so fast he slept afterward. The dude was endowed with a better brain than you. Cope.
>>16768513>he studied for a college admission test with publicly available material that can be studied for, therefore 165+ IQI'm taking another standard deviation away from your result.
>>16768505People change over the course of their lives. He very well may have been a bodybuilder earlier in life but now he's in his 70s, he's adding on the wrong lbs.
>>16768517Based on his age, he took the SAT in the 1960s. There was no internet to look things up. There was no LLM to give lists of questions and answers. You're projecting your life experiences onto a past that was different than the world you grew up in. It's a very zoom zoom thing to do.
>>16768552>People change over the course of their lives.I'd expect someone with supposed genius level IQ to figure out how to not grow into a tub of lards into old age. It's not complicated. I'm not a genius and managed to figure it out.>He very well may have been a bodybuilder earlier in life but now he's in his 70s, he's adding on the wrong lbs.This only happens to people of average or below average IQ. A genius will be able to figure out that stopping exercise will result in weight gain without diet adjustment.>muh ageMetabolism only drops around 1% per year past 60. There are plenty of fit people who have never been fatfucks in their lives.
>>16768563Nigger do you not understand how education works? You don't need the internet to request the publicly available curriculum, you can do it over the phone, go in person or fax it, I don't care, and it has to be provided to you by law, always been the case, the SAT can't just pull problems out of its ass. You then get a textbook that covers the curriculum.>You're projecting your life experiences onto a past that was different than the world you grew up in. It's a very zoom zoom thing to do.You're projecting your cluelessness on me right now. I get it, you're too socially inept to even imagine functioning without a screen and couldn't cheat on an IQ test even if your life depended on it. I'm taking another standard deviation away, you better quit being stupid while you still have enough of them to breathe.
>>16768331>obvious case of a mediocre dude who made it his life task to score high on IQ tests>hasnt produced anything of value >pretty much living proof IQ is junk science, wide-open to gaming>even so there are enough based retards out there who want to be "special boys" that they'll swallow the obvious scamIt reminds me of the yearly recurring reports media pieces about the lates "genius baby" who can "talk 15 languages at 5 and entered university at 9", who in the end never amount to anything...
>>16768462you're stupidunironicallyI heard him explain a bit of his CTMU, it sounded too much like the mental model I was making so i stopped listening as I like doing it myselfhis shit was full of jargon but I guarantee there's a meaning behind the odd words and it's probably simple and autistically specific, if abstract
>>16768563What do you expect, man? Zoomers are fucking braindead.
>>16768600How many citations does his published papers have?
>>16768604don't know, don't carethe CTMU is a philosophical project anyway
>>16768600>But [for Reality] to be self-contained, it must also be self-configuring and self-processing. In other words, reality must generate and regulate its own structure. Langan argues that the only known system capable of such self-configuration is language. Thus, he describes reality as a kind of universal language or “Self-Configuring Self-Processing Language” (SCSPL).That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. How the fuck does language "generate and regulate it's own structure"? You'd have to be literally monkey level stupid to not see the obvious holes in that
>>16768611I'd have to see his definition of "language". My guess is he's not talking about Spanish, but an underlying fundamental language of the universe.In my terms I would say more generally it's a system of symbols, which avoids the connotations. It must (or there must be some entity to) configure and process itself to form the wholeness of the universe, from axioms. e.g. how mathematics flows from the axioms defined for the system. The system itself must be coherent (non-contradictory) and so, from a limited set of axioms on an unfathomably complex reality, it requires an amount of self-configuration to produce consistency.The other analogy in my system is the author writing a novel. The author does not describe every elemental particle, and may write what seems to be apparent contradictions from error or other, but the system internally must produce a coherent interpretation down to its specifics, and must therefore configure those specifics to fit the axiomatic definitions.Any external system to calculate such specifics (e.g. the Matrix) has to itself be born from the fundamental self-processing system, or be that system. We know it exists, by the nature of conscious existence in a resultant logical system.
>>16768331>How do people like this even exist?The real kicker is that they don't. He's just lying to you.
>>16768331>also a professional bodybuilderit goes to show it doesn't matter how high of an IQ you have, you can still be a retard
>>16768331>>also a professional bodybuilderThat means he earned an income from bodybuilding, which implies sponsorship/rewards from winning comps. What comps did he win, exactly?
>>16768639He did modeling, I believe.
did he specifically train for IQ? if he did he is merely a fraud
>>16768642So he was a model now, not a professional bodybuilder?
>>16768616>Any external system to calculate such specifics (e.g. the Matrix) has to itself be born from the fundamental self-processing system, or be that system. We know it exists, by the nature of conscious existence in a resultant logical system.Human language clearly isnt a self-processing system since it needs to be processed and configured by human agents (and llm agents). This is TimeCube levels of retardation
>>16768331what a jackass liar trying to be a try hard
>>16768646of course he didDo you even have to ask?
>>16768652He was a model, OP was mistaken.
>>16768331>complains about how difficult it is to heat a drafty house
>>16768659I was giving him the benefit of the doubt, but yeah, why wouldn't he be a fraud, sad
>take IQ test as kid>(All IQ tests taken as children inflate results)>Love the label, his parents reinforce it>Build identity and brand around label of intelligence >Refuse any modern assessments of intelligence >Lie about alternative assessments done with no evidence >Write manifesto >Profit off of retards
>>16768563I'm sorry anon, I'm NTA but despite all of Langan's based takes I am forced to assume that he is a charlatan. His scores are simply too unbelievable, he is so far ahead of the pack that it becomes preposterous. His story reads like something too unbelievable to be real. While I would be pleasantly surprised if it is reality, I can only assume that it is tomfoolery due to simple probability. I understand that is dismissive, but it is what it is.
>>16768795Chris Langan is a member of the Mega Society, and thus confirmed to have a super high IQ by rigorous testing of the highest standard.
>>16768835>imed, supervised IQ tests do not accurately measure at the one in a million level. For example, the range of the Stanford-Binet is 40–160,[1] which is four standard deviations of 15 about the mean of 100, so that a score of 160 corresponds to a population rarity of 1 in 30,000.[2] The Mega Society accepts members on the basis of untimed, unsupervised IQ tests that have been normalized using standard statistical methods.[3] There is controversy over whether such tests measure the same thing as timed, supervised IQ tests.[4]my sides are in another stratosphere
>>16768331Wait...what? There is no fucking way he's jewish.Goybros...I just can't.
Daily reminder that this nigger has a discord server filled with total subhumans who shill his shit. Whatever he says is total fucking nonsense. Stop spamming this vomit you stupid fucking subhuman.
>>16768469pretty sure he's not
>>16768571>>16768563If it was possible to just train hard to bust your SAT score, extreme scores (1580+) wouldn't be that rare. There are many hard-working people, every class has atleast a few nerds.

>>16768795>parents enforce itHis stepdad beat him within an inch of his life with a chain after asking Chris how far the sun was from the earth and Chris answering correctly. Chris went into bodybuilding specifically so he could beat his stepdad to a bloody pulp, which he did, causing the stepdad to flee the house and never return. His parents despised his intelligence.

>>16768469His biological father was Melvin Letman (born 1924, died 1976). I've researched this man more than probably anyone on Earth. Both of his biological parents likely have astounding processing speed, but the genetic picture is murky. I have only found proof of his half-brother being a genius.
>>16768842/sci/'s naivete always surprises me. Folks, this is basic statistics. If your ethnic average is a standard deviation above the rest of the population, your ethnicity will OVERWHELMINGLY DOMINATE among outliers. Like, to a first approximation, there will literally not be outliers on the right tail who are not in your ethnic group. As an example, there just *aren't* top sprinters who aren't West African. You can even isolate the tribe. Anyway, Langan being Jewish by ethnicity should have been the default assumption due to these statistical realities.
>>16768331>How do people like this even exist?They don't.It's a scheme to make some money on the side.
>>16768832Not to be rude, but you need to have a better grasp of outlier humans. Read pic related, for example. Our life experience gives us a very skewed impression of the range of human variation, because we only ever get to know a few thousand people that well.
>>16768611It's just Sapir-Whorf.

>>16770732>only the math scores were used because including the entire SAT didn't show as strong a correlation>showing only the verbal section showed an even poorer correlation
>>16770732I am confused.Unless the SAT Math portion is an iq test, rather than a mathematics exam.
>>16770736Why lie?https://www.appstate.edu/~webbrm/jap2001.pdf
>>16770737The SAT is indeed a (socially kind of acceptable) IQ test.
>>16770739But then why do the SAT and IQ tests look nothing alike. Surely two tests testing for the same thing would at least appear to be similar.
>>16770732>posts image from blog post>>16770736>gets called out for p-hacking>>16770738>posts different source, asserting the accusation of p-hacking is a lielet me guess. you're a self-identified high IQ individual
>>16770740Same reason companies give IQ tests that don't look like IQ tests (see Wonderlic). IQ is emotional dynamite in our society.>>16770741Is the p-hacking in the room with us right now?
>>16770744I think you are conceptually confused. The SAT is supposed to test what a highschool has learned during his time at school, to determine elibility for university admission. The maths section of the SAT does not look like an iq test, because it isn't an iq test. It's testing how well the test taker has studied the highschool maths curriculum.If you are suggesting being good at highschool math means you have a high iq, you are delusional.
>>16770744Show the receipts then. Should be easy. Whoever published that data surely would have also tracked the entire SAT and the verbal and the writing sections individually
>>16770707I think maybe just maybe Chris is a habitual liar, what do you think?
