smart people can build stupid ideas off other peoples memes they imbibe and enjoy. but sensory perception is not analogous, the eye dose not generate electrons from photons, it transmutes external accretions into internal discretion. his camera analogue is as poor as the memetic understanding of perception as analogous.

Collectivism is the opposite of intelligence.

>>39259140
I think he talks a lot in word salad, which is generally a sign of insecurity. People should either speak plainly while also speaking in riddles if they actually know what they're talking about.
Word salad is when you use a lot of big words, or better yet, make up words, and use them in succession to try and confuse the audience. If you understand a subject then you can explain it simply. This guy isn't necessarily an idiot, but I don't think he's the smartest man in the world by any long shot, he's smart enough to seem smart so maybe 115 IQ? Or maybe he's just really good at puzzles.
Regardless, you cannot use the building blocks of the physical realm to "prove god exists" because the divine exists outside this realm, it created this realm, while it used math to build this realm, math does not apply to it. The only proof you need for the divine is knowing that you can know nothing and that all you're left with is belief and to believe in nothing is folly, ergo one must believe in the divine.
logic is a better indicator of the divine than math because logic is intangible,, it's an idea, like belief. Math is more or less tangible, the golden ratio exists regardless if there are the abstract concepts to show it, and it exists whether or not there are beings who can observe and acknowledge it. Logic only exists once a mind is capable of making it, as it's a part of the soul, which itself is a part of divinity.

it's only a short step to realizing that IQ is... for the most part... BS. It's a classification system that measures specific things but it doesn't measure FAR more than it measures.

the guiness book of records has a woman at 225 IQ as the highest recorded IQ ever
She spent her life answering mundane questions in a sunday newspaper column
That's either a critique on women, IQ, or both.
>>
>>39259965
I always say it as an indictment of women that all the high iq guys were on some quest to benefit mankind while she sat around with her money fucking multiple men. It also strikes me as odd that her intelligence is never called into question while langans is. It’s almost as though people only dispute the scores of people they disagree with.

I don't get it. How are people smart enough to know what groups are, but stupid enough to homogenize groups as indistinguishable sets?

They answe is, of course, that binary thinking is easier.
It takes less processing to recognize two things than it does to recognize a dozen

So really, it's just a structural issue with the volume of info your mind can process

It's to reduce the unnecessary risk of hivemind contamination. When it's large enough it could easily overcome such problems (just like literally any problem really), but at least the first batch of units must be devoid of any undesirable elements.

>That's why communism failed. By forcing collectivism, you make the population dumber.
The polar opposite thrives, at the cost of making everyone miserable. By turning us all into competitors, they DID make it to where the strong and intelligent thrived; but they unknowingly incentivized a super parasite to rise through the loopholes and dig it's claws in, artificially creating a large power gap. Every avenue for survival, every niche, is either already occupied or soon to be. They made every neighbor a possible enemy, and so most people are enemies, only held back by some illusion of civility and manners.
Communism had the same problem, but there was only one guy trying to fuck you.
You can't fight nature.

FWIW regardless of how well he can incorporate new information he is, he's still a simple farmer boy in background. Notice the phrasing there. He has fantastic information recall and that's apparent. However, his social/cultural awareness seems to be acute which I assume is the result of his strict upbringing.

>“Non-local causality is a concept that had never played any role in physics, other than in rejection (‘action-at-a-distance’), until Aspect showed in 1981 that the alternative would be the abandonment of the cherished belief in mind-independent reality; suddenly, spooky- action-at-a-distance became the lesser of two evils, in the minds of the materialists. Why do people cling with such ferocity to belief in a mind-independent reality? It is surely because if there is no such reality, then ultimately (as far as we can know) mind alone exists. And if mind is not a product of real matter, but rather is the creator of the illusion of material reality (which has, in fact, despite the materialists, been known to be the case, since the discovery of quantum mechanics in 1925), then a theistic view of our existence becomes the only rational alternative to solipsism.”

Having known some incredibly smart people who yet worked with their hands and on matter simpler minds could accomplish such as electrical work, computer engineering and coding, but not cures for cancer or anything, I'd guess he does everything else he does or most of it extremely well, besides his stupid beliefs. He operates a horse ranch after all I see him in those old photographs with his computer hardware, I'm sure he operates it perfectly well. He probably enunciates words exceptionally well and has a very half-convincing accent, like someone who's too smart being too good at trying to sound too dumb like everyone else. But such incredible IQ basically requires increased dopamine release and uptake in the frontal lobe way beyond normal people which risks causing false associations in non-critical data and supercharges free will or choice if you will as it biologically exists in the frontal lobe...perhaps allowing an otherwise brilliant man to choose to be an idiot despite all reason not to (such as humiliation? he seems immune to it).

As someone who’s spent at most 10 hours listening to his interviews and reading a few of his articles I can answer 95% of the questions ITT. I won’t waste my time with that however. If you wanted to go beyond lazy speculation the material is there. There is nothing of substance being said. I’m a Langan fan but not a close follower. Haven’t even dug into the CTMU and frankly am not curious about the topic enough to do so.

See William Sidis. He managed to pass Harvard Exam at 11 years old, and in childhood spoke several ancient languages, like latin, koine greek and aramaic.

The problem isn't about smart or dumb, but the over-expectations. Even if such people manage something above average for the expectations it's too low.

Journalists, envious people and society will mock them endlessly until that person achieves some singularity breakthrough.

Even smart people who left a Legacy (Nikola Tesla or Nieztsche) were mocked/seen as outcasts in their time and only after death were their ideas taken seriously.

then it's even more funnier when you see them trying to deboonk a man that is considered a literal genius by their own soiience (IQ tests)
