And yet several of these fence-straddling buffoons who can't comprehend right or wrong have chimed in to say that you are wrong.

Well like you said, they're buffoons. So they can't be taken seriously.

Plus, they didn't decide I was wrong through careful consideration. They made a decision based on emotion because I touched nerves and they are insecure about their own inadequacies.

Yeah, those buffoons who make things up to support their own arguments, right? Can't take them seriously at all.

The true nature of things can usually be determined when given careful thought. But it takes more effort than many people are willing to give. It's much easier to throw your hands up and declare that there's no right or wrong answer.
This is where you are wrong.
The true nature of many things at the end of the day is going to come down to who is interpreting the data.
An example
Lets go back to when we where talking about those who are "successful" at a fortune 500 company.
You arbitrarily decided on a title is what makes it so.
Success as we know has no hard metric.
When I worked at QUALCOMM I wouldn't dare tell a Sr. Engineer or Lawyer that he isn't successful because he didn't earn the title of VP. Not ever professional wants to move from their given choice of profession and move into a management role hell a lot of people don't.
Their was a test engineer made a decent living, that lived in a really small RV in the parking lot. You know what I would call him successful and you wouldn't we could debate till the cows come home and neither of us at the end of the day would be "right". I would argue how he was doing what he wanted, he is was happy. He enjoyed his job, wasn't a burden on society and in the end still worth 7 to 8 figures on paper. You would argue well he wasn't a VP.

Silly Rabbit - I would bet a year's salary your IQ is less than 100. And if IQ tests are so meaningless, why are you taking them?

People who say IQ tests are meaningless are people who don't get the desired results when they take them. Like poor people who say money doesn't matter.

I was tested against my will by my middle school teachers who were interested in whether or not I was "gifted".

It didn't get me any scholarships, recognition, or *****.

As far as intelligence tests being meaningless...yes. They're essentially meaningless except to researchers.

Want to prove your intelligence to me? Build a robot or paint me a picture.

Lol. Think about this.....I clearly have a healthy ego and can be quite snobbish about certain things. If I were going to lie about my IQ, do you think I would give a number as low as 130? Nope.




I have an IQ of 130, which puts me in the 97th or 98th percentile but about 10 points shy of genius.


You started this nonsense derail by calling yourself basically a genius.

(oh and you were wrong).

You're right. Success is a matter of perception. What perplexes me is why you made the effort to write all of this when I said exactly that in the post you're referring to. Do you remember, or do I need to write it all again like everything else I say?

And you're right that "truth" is often subjective. That doesn't mean you shouldn't pick sides.

IWant to prove your intelligence to me?

No. Would a major league ball player want to prove to a little league pitcher that he can throw a curve ball?

You continue to prove me right about you being a self deluded, egomaniac with delusions of grandeur. Each of your posts is another little turd dropped into the internet.

I'm not going through my arguments again for you. Remedial reading is over. Find a study partner or keep getting Fs. Doesn't matter to me.

I don't think I'm grand. I'm just better than you.

This reminds me- have you addressed the multiple posts accusing you of ad hominems?

I wasn't going to call him out because Hugo Stiglitz shows up in my dreams to put his fist down my throat whenever I cry about ad hominems.

That's fine, not a single one of your arguments was coherent and I would prefer you not going over them again (or continue to poop out new ones).

The fact that you keep going ad hominem about my intelligence which has nothing to with the thread or your arguments, whilst cavalierly ignoring the fact that the whole thread is pointing you out as the idiot, is part of the delusions of grandeur I keep referring to.

Ad hominems - they're tasty like eminems. They melt in your mouth, not in your handinems.

I like 'em. I use them as often as possible.

I wasn't calling him out, I was asking a question.

Ok. If you take a look you'll see now he's in some sort of psychotic rambling about Eminem now. :flipando:
