Total bullshit.

Everyone knows the puppetmasters decide the presidency long before any citizen votes.

I think we have had some legit elections (JFK was never supposed to win, he was a Trump media darling who went and took the televised debates by storm unexpectedly). A Catholic in the white house was also extremely taboo in a protestant nation.

We stopped having less legitimate elections (mostly within the DNC, not the GOP) not because of the puppet masters choice, but because of the candidates themselves who have heard the call and know what time it is. Intimidation. Again, this is more obvious in the DNC. You remember the fake DNC candidates propped up for Hillary's first debate? Chafee and some other weirdos faked a run for president. I'd like to think the GOP would never pressure any candidates to run as fake candidates.


Not to suggest a president should be rocking the boat..... But if you travel to other countries, you realize the median income of America is worse than Australia and countless other Eurozone countries offer a higher quality of living without all the political fighting, racism, and hatred that comes with American politics as they threaten to cut food and medical benefits every election. (of which maybe 1% of American taxes collected goes towards entitlements. albeit hard working people dislike the idea of ANY of their tax dollars going towards entitlements, and I can certainly appreciate that-- especially since having children as a white person is considered a serious undertaking that costs serious money. Whereas your taxes are going towards people who should not be having children. I get that.)

Unfortunately, SOME boat is going to have to rock to fix that and bring us up to other 1st world nations where the corporation isn't completely raping and pillaging and monopolizing its peasants.

Shout out to your phone, internet, and cable bills.

I honestly think JFK was the last president that actually cared. I mean he actually tried to create socaial change and as a result he made a plethora of enemies, and got obliterated by assassins. Can't blame future politicians, I mean no one wants to have their head hollowed out by a sniper rifle or worse.

Pretty much if care = reformer. He was the last president who attempted sweeping reforms of all aspects of government.

His initiative on disbanding the CIA because secrecy was inherently evil (Boston, MA choir boy politic) didn't go over so well.

If he wasn't this Boston Catholic guy, he might have had a chance. But then again, he wouldn't have had appeal as a reformer without his Boston values.

only if our concern transcends present complacency. our abuse of a wet pebble is hardly noteworthy on a cosmic scale.

Creativity is all about picturing the way the world could be better, and not looking to maintain or go back to the way it was.

Scientists are very left-leaning as well, xNTP (Myers-Briggs) dominate in hard sciences for this reason too. As a geneticist, most of my colleagues always say things like "Can you believe this stupid way we have been doing things? Let's make it better."

As a result the idea of a single "g" intelligence has more or less been debunked, which in turn debunks the idea that you can measure such a "g" intelligence. In other words, there are no "smart" people, just people who are smart about different things, and any given person might have any combination of "smarts" because the different kinds mostly don't correlate. Now that's not to say that intelligence tests don't measure something, because they clearly do, but whatever they measure it's a certain subset of the many different intelligences, and which ones are included and to what degree depend largely on the person writing test.

In fact, they do mostly correlate. That's where the g factor comes from. The g factor is the underlying variable you get when you do a factor analysis on a wide range of cognitive tasks (similar to those other IQ types as you mentioned). A person who has a strong working memory is more likely to process information quicker, learn quicker, etc. Yes, sometimes you have idiot savant types, but generally there is a strong correlation, hence how the g factor is synthesized statistically.

IQ is overrated. People with ultra-high IQ often prove worse at making decisions then people with just slightly high IQ. High IQ is mostly useful for IQ tests. That, and for stuff like picking the right investment, gambling, manipulation. These are the things IQ helps you with.

You can be dumb as a rock to be an honest and dutiful businessman.

IQ remains a strong predictor (the best predictor iirc?) of future success in life. Maybe your observation of ultra-high IQ making bad decisions is selection bias from your own life experiences?
