I'm also really tired, But I'm really looking forward to going to sleep.

If I were not tired my cold would be gone already.

Hatsune Miku's next concert ... not in the Windy City. :/ On-top of the terrible voice acting of Tales of Xillia (no Japanese voices, ... fucking terrible choice), I see this crap. Urrggh ...

Back in school...
Orienteering is slow and boring.
And the 1st question I heard "can we end class so that I could make it to the 11:55 buss?"
---> the orienteering is scheduled till 12.

Huh..... no wonder I don't care about kids.

Quote

Satoshi Kanazawa, the LSE psychologist behind the research, discussed the findings that maternal urges drop by 25% with every extra 15 IQ points in his book The Intelligence Paradox.

So, putting average IQ at ~100... no freakin' wonder. -25% -25% -25% -25% -25% -25% -25% -25% -25% -25% -25% -25% -25% -25% -25%. That's like... -375%...! My maternal urge to have kids is at -375%... At 0% that should be like "newp, don't wanna have kids." -100 is probably like... "kids should die," -200% is like... sponsoring mass genocide, -300% is like... like... I don't even know but I'm 75% worse than that even!

Whoa.

You know though, he seems to think smart women are doing society a disservice by not reproducing but on the contrary! We're currently suffering from severe overpopulation. If anything, we're the only ones helping out!

Xycolian2332 · « **Reply #4989 on:** August 09, 2013, 11:21:38 AM »

So your IQ is ~225?

Interdasting.

As for helping out by not reproducing... not really. The number of supposedly intelligent women such as yourself is vastly outweighed by the number of uneducated women who believe their only purpose is to bear children, so you really don't make much of a difference by saying no to children. Although I support your decision, as I also believe the human population should be culled/properly maintained.

Stupid people just need to be 'fixed'.

Darth.Sid · « **Reply #4991 on:** August 09, 2013, 12:26:39 PM »

They can't be fixed. That's one of the laws of nature. The total stupidity constantly increases. Exponentially...

JoonasTo · « **Reply #4992 on:** August 09, 2013, 12:55:31 PM »

That would make her 325 IQ since the article mentioned extra 15 IQ points. Somehow I doubt that.
Not that 225 would be any more conceivable.

Satoshi Kanazawa is a pretty interesting case either way.

I gave up after counting past a certain point (apparently somewhere in the 200's) after which it became rather... unbelievable.

I don't really care though, as she's shown an aptitude for common sense that surpasses most of the population.

JoonasTo · « **Reply #4994 on:** August 09, 2013, 01:15:42 PM »

375/25*15+100 ^^

Xycolian2332 · « **Reply #4995 on:** August 09, 2013, 01:25:00 PM »

Yeah, whatever. I'm a little drunk right now so forgive me for not being so exact.

IQ is still a rather stupid concept, as is the entirety of psychology.

Am I the only one that has the feeling that tiff should apply to guinness world records? Afaik the highest IQ is already an estimated one between 250 and 300, and the highest measured female IQ is 190. Note that there is no "measured" iq above 200, the highest measured IQ being 198.

I know that IQ is a stupid concept, since it doesn't reflect intelligence as a whole *the person talking needs an excuse for never having completed an IQ test due to loosing interest while doing it

High IQ ... that'd be interesting to see what type of kids you would have. Maybe they'll out smart your ass.

Edit -- Got a bit too excited when I saw this. August 20th! I put away Volume 8 Light Novel just for you, Volume 9! So eager to see what will happen next.
