Never again can we allow this to happen again because of these sophists and bullshitters The coming generation of europeans will either perish or reach the stars. Lets hope they reach the stars.”—Phill Knyspel

And the answers surely would be no. And if she tried to then she will be bringing, or applying a monopoly demand for consent of the rationalization she will be making, ie, deceit. Testimonialism ROCKS.”— Deus Ex

(FB 1551972617 Timestamp) JUSTIFICATION OF SELF DECEPTION By: Rosenborg Predmetsky (via Brandon Hayes) Someone pointed out the other day that self deception can be advantageous from the standpoint of natural selection. Robert trivers has great work on this. When a feminist convinces herself that she is justified in acquiring a sugar daddy because patriarchy economically oppressed her, this is sexually antagonistic co-evolution. When a black person justifies blm activism despite blacks being much more a problem for whites than the other way around, this is group evolutionary strategy whose purpose is reciprocal altruism to maximize inclusive fitness for his kin group; I.e. group evolutionary strategy

Sure, in the beginning there will be more activity in the courts as people adjust to an honest society. However, once the adjustment to a more “clean” Commons is made. The Courts will calm down as the cost of lying will be far too high to pay.”—Stephen Thomas

(FB 1551967924 Timestamp) THE DOCTRINE OF FASCISM (via @[100010386694913:2048:Richard Heathen] ) “Or ‘you don’t know it, but you’re a fascist – and it’s a good thing” Fascism advocates the organization of the state in the interests of the nation (people, race). Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Doctrine_of_Fascism The Essay: http://library.flawlesslogic.com/fascism.htm Overview “The Doctrine of Fascism” (Italian: “La dottrina del fascismo”) is an essay attributed to Benito Mussolini. In truth, the first part of the essay, entitled “Idee Fondamentali” (Italian for “Fundamental Ideas”) was written by philosopher Giovanni Gentile, while only the second part (“Dottrina politica e sociale”) is the work of Mussolini himself. It was first published in the Enciclopedia Italiana of 1932, as the first section of a lengthy entry on “Fascismo” (Italian for Fascism). The entire entry on Fascism spans pages 847â884 of the Enciclopedia Italiana, and includes numerous photographs and graphic images. The Mussolini entry starts on page 847 and ends on 851 with the credit line “Benito Mussolini.” All subsequent translations of “The Doctrine of Fascism” are from this work. A key concept of the Mussolini essay was that fascism was a rejection of previous models: “Granted that the 19th century was the century of marxism, liberalism, democracy, this does not mean that the 20th century must also be the century of marxism, liberalism, democracy. Political doctrines pass; nations remain. We are free to believe that this is the century of authority, a century tending to the Right, a Fascist century. If the 19th century was the century of the individual (liberalism implies individualism) we are free to believe that this is the ‘collective’ century, and therefore the century of the State.”

05, Sunday, Oct 2014 Posted by pumpkinperson in Uncategorized Tags: autism, executive function, IQ, schizophrenia For those who have never studied statistics, the non-autistic population in Western countries is said to have an average IQ of 100 and a standard deviation (SD) of 15. A standard deviation of 15 simply means that the standard amount by which most people deviate from the average is around 15 points, in other worlds, about two thirds of the non-autistic population have IQâs from 85 to 115. As for the autistic population, a recent study found 16% of autistic spectrum children had IQâs below 50, while 3% had IQâs above 115. Assuming a normal distribution, an IQ of 116+ is 1.87 Standard Deviations (SD) above the autistic mean, and an IQ below 50 is 1 SD below the autistic mean. This suggests that autistic people have a mean IQ of 72 and an SD of 23 compared to the non-autistic population (mean 100, SD=15). In other words, while the average autistic person has a much lower IQ than the average neurotypical, the autistic population is much more cognitively variable. This resolves the paradox of why autistic people can simultaneously have a reputation for being both mentally disabled and brilliant scientists. Because, compared to neurotypicals, autistic people will be dramatically over-represented at both ends of the bell curve. Above IQ 100 About 50% of neurotypicals have IQâs above 100, compared to only 10% of autistic people. Above IQ 115 About 14% of neurotypicals have IQâs this high, compared to to only 3% of autistic people. Above IQ 130 About 2% of neurotypicals score this high, compared to only 0.5% of autistic people Above IQ 145 Only one in 924 neurotypicals score this high, compared to only one in 1,838 autistic people Above IQ 160 Only about one in 42,000 neuotypicals scores this high, compared to one in 18,000 autistic people. At this level of giftedness, autistic people are actually OVER-REPRESENTED!!!!!!!!!!! Above IQ 175 Only about one in five million neurotypicals score this high, compared to about one in 300,000 autistic people. Above IQ 190 Only about one in 1.5 billion neurotypicals score this high, compared to about one in 14 million autistic people. The fact that autistic people are so incredibly variable in IQ confirms Pumpkin Personâs groundbreaking theory that autism is not actually one phenotype, but two phenotypes, that have been arbitrarily conflated by psychologists: Nerdiness (slow life history?) which causes high IQ, and executive dysfunction which causes low IQ. Analogously, schizophrenia is probably also two phenotypes: coolness (fast life history?), which causes low IQ, and executive dysfunction, which causes even lower IQ. -

However, we’re very good at identifying it, and the ONLY reason they’ve gotten away with it this far is because they own the media, and the ability to lie to the commons. That ends with Propertarianism. The thing is, it only takes a single one of us to identify their deceit and to make it known to others, while for them it takes a trillion-dollar media global enterprise to maintain it.”—Joseph E. Postma Under law, it takes only one of us.
