  1. IQs are nonsense. You can't quantify intellect.

  2. No. 50 & Snoop made millions because they took a smidgeon of talent & stirred up into a pot with a marketing machine that's 2nd to none; 50 moreso than Snoop. And yes, 50 & Snoop are educated. They're just not educated by the parameters which you find important. Also, whetehr or not a person is a millionaire doesn't mean his point is invalid. You have to be ever wary of the logical fallacies you're using. All of them are invalid.

  3. You must not read very well. Are you sure you're telling the truth about University of Chicago? Yes, they're talented. But talent only takes you so far. And I don;t care about someone attending an institution. Education is a property that's more associated with what you know & its use than it is with attendance in someone's building. Furthermore, I didn't pull any "99%" from anywhere. You're probably not telling the truth about going to UofC. You're just a dipshit with internet access.

  4. What I'm saying is that an IQ test is a certain methodology to measure a certain set of aptitudes. Since "intelligence" has so many facets & variables, I'll be damned if an IQ test is going to, with any acumen, enumerate a person's ability. I'm an extremely smart man but I'm not so brilliant that I can break the fucking test. The problem is that the test (or its administrators) isn't that reliable.

  5. You're not allowed to talk anymore.

  6. They absolutely do. I don't even mind contradictory conclusions either. That only goes to show that ideas & modalities evolve. It also goes to show that it's not about "belief"; it's about making a decision based on an examination of the most reliable evidence. He's a dipshit for other reasons though.

  7. I don't smoke. IQs aren't accurate measures of intellect.

  8. They're a means of measuring dexterity in a specific kind of logical modality. I'll give you an example. At 21, I took an IQ test. There was a part of the test whereby I had to perform a particular exercise while being timed by a proctor. I started to do the exercise the best way I saw fit but I was stopped by the proctor because she hadn't seen anyone work that way. While arguing about my method, the meter is still ran. She fucked up my time AND made me do it differently. Is that a valid score?
