Intelligence

... is it all it's cracked up to be?

Lord T, our near resident computer boffin, may have been referring to this:

... when commenting across the way:

Intelligence isn’t a very good measure. We class intelligence as memorising a list of numbers and a few processes or someone that can speak properly with big words. Some people are great at exams but have no common sense. Some people have several Phds but can’t balance a cheque book.

People are generally dumb because they are no taught to think for themselves. Those that can have real intelligence but don’t get any credit because they don’t have a certificate or the right background.

Mice have more intelligence than our highly educated elite. Mice can easily be fooled because we can set traps for them, they need food and they can’t think things though. Our elite do stupid things because they think what the want is a need and they must have it and they can’t think things though to a conclusion.

They are the lemmings of our society but unlike lemmings they will take us with them, by trying to talk us into their schemes or guilt tripping us, I can’t be around someone who supports that, or if you loved me you would. At a last resort campaigning to get it made law so you would be forced to. They know best, I’ve a degree you know and know better than you.

That may have been true in the 1800 when degrees meant education but with most degrees today being worthless such as degrees in gender studies or medieval flower arranging that is basically indoctrination in wokeness it simply isn’t true.

So, how should we measure intelligence. I don’t know but the way we do it now isn’t right.
