Is this the man that is going to turn us all into Vulcans?

You're the nutjob if you're signing your posts as Jesus Christ


I'm just kidding. You're right, I only watched about 3 minutes....is that test in good ol' OMNI magazine the only thing that he uses as proof he's a genius?

 

[iguana_tonante]

I'm glad none of you have nor ever will have any political power, and I sincerely hope you never bother to vote. The guy's a fucking nutjob. Period. "Derp, I took an IQ test in a magazine... THUS I AM THE MOST INTELLIGENT MAN TO EVER LIVE! I HAVE THE ANSWER FOR EVERYTH... oh, brb, time to head to the bar where I bounce for a living because I'm too fucking stupid (and unlikable) to figure out how to get a real job. (P.S., it was all my daddy's fault.)"

Jesus Christ.

wut? Time to relax, pal.

 

[Checkmate]

wut?

Like I implied previously, the guy is just a whackjob.

1. His daddy is the reason everything in his life is a horrible mess. It's not his fault he can't get a real job (especially with his super-intelligence that no other human in the history of the universe has ever matched). Nope. It's all daddy's fault. Yep. And he should know, since he's... the smartest man the world will ever know. Bum ba bum buummmmmm....

2. "Academia" is evil because he got kicked out of college for taking part in a riot (which he denies, but considering he's little more than a thug-for-hire, aka bouncer... well, whatever). Which, apparently, makes "academia" the source of all evil and a completely corrupt and horrible institution that only idiots partake in. Somehow.

3. Eugenics is good, especially if he gets to control who breeds and who doesn't (remember, he also wants the entire world population to be implanted with anti-breeding technology, too)! Oh I'm sorry, I didn't mean that only he gets to control it. Just the "super-intelligent." Of which he means himself.

4. He's apparently the most intelligent human to ever live because of a magazine article. Of which, you know, Guinness was allegedly going to agree with but at the last minute they totally decided to get rid of the record completely because they (rightfully, by the way) came to the conclusion that I.Q.s mean jack fucking squat. But that is neither here nor there. A magazine told him he was the smartest man ever!

5. The size of one's head dictates one's intelligence. And to measure how big your brain is, you just have to dunk it in some water. I mean, his head is bigger than a monkey or a cat, and he's clearly more intelligent than a monkey or a cat, thus his logic is sound and indisputable! (Nevermind that a blue whale has a brain 5 times larger, and a head several times larger. His logic stops at human head size. <turns and stares straight into the camera because I just blew your mind!>)

6. Despite this super-intellect, hyper-awareness of all the world's problems, and awesome spirituality, he's a fucking bouncer.

I don't necessarily disagree with your assessment of the guy.

He has a very high IQ (I have no reason to doubt that: there are people all over the scale, some are bound to be on the upper end), but IQ tests measure a very specific kind of intelligence, and it's obviously limited. I've met people with genius IQ that were idiots, and people with average IQ that were awesome human beings.

I just thought that, before judging the merits of his ideas, I wanted to read them on my own. I'm funny like that.

All that considered, I think your aggressive behaviour and disparaging remarks about people in this thread were not just completely unwarranted, but also hilariously over-the-top. You may want to check your mouth next time you jump to conclusions, or run the risk of making an ass of yourself. Again.

First, you're not my parent or any other sort of authority, so fuck you. Second, my opinion stands in regard to anyone who considers this guy the savior of humanity and spiritual leader who will guide us into a golden age. They're bigger loons than this bozo is, and I truly am glad they will never have any influence over anything worthwhile in my life.

 

[Nardpuncher]

I just want to add that I went and Google image searched old OMNI magazine covers. Ahhh memories. How funny that late 70s and 80s attempts to be futuristic just look so wonderfully 80s.

Well, it appears quite clearly that your actual parents were quite lacking in teaching you manners, at least. Apart from the somehow emphatic OP (which was actually more a what-if scenario) I've yet to read anyone supporting that. It seems you are arguing against voices that exist only in your head. If I were you, I would be much more concerned about your temper than imaginary people having influence in your life.

 

[Nardpuncher]

Checkmate, I'm no authroity, but you should check whether you're in TNZ or not before you talk like that! For some reason you can go apeshit in there and it's somehow OK. Here we do it all nice like.

 

[Nowhere Man]

I love that this guy tells me he's a genius, but offers no proof and tells a boring fucking story that is irrelevant to him bieng a genuis. I think IQ. tests are bullshit anyway and this guy is nowhere near a Vulcan. I think he's a Cylon.

 

[Urge]

I think the man can be a genius if he wants to. Jesus claimed to be the son of god, and prince Siddhartha claimed to have reached enlightenment, becoming the first buddha.

Without a good message to sell, it will only be sexy wrapping though.

Besides: Being a bouncer is one out of several ways to get to know people. Just think about all the drunk idiots he have handled. This might be one of several places were its cool to be smart. The old greeks claimed that people needed to live balanced lives, mixing fun, physical work, intelectual work, sports and play.

 

[Jetfire]

I think the guy needs counseling and maybe he is kinda schizophrenic. He needs help.

 

[Robert Maxwell]

I'll grant that this guy seems brighter than average--he seems aware of things the average pink has never given any thought--but most of what he discusses is incredibly basic philosophy and economics, nothing remotely revolutionary or insightful. And that's to say nothing of his "anti-dysgenics" plan and his notion that people should have to meet some standard (one set by him and like-minded individuals, of course) in order to earn their freedom.

I mean, wow. I also like how he claims to have had all these brilliant ideas but he never started a business, never patented anything, never found a way to make one red cent off of his somehow immense intellect.

Frankly, he doesn't even seem any smarter than me. I've given thought to just about all the things he mentioned and moved past them years ago.

Not acceptable outside TNZ. Infraction for flaming, comments to PM.

 

[Nardpuncher]

You see ! You can call people whatever you want inside of TNZ.

That's why if I say Loctus of Bored is a nerdy, unliked virgin prick that only got laid that one time because that girl felt sorry for him I'll only get in trouble if we're outside of TNZ for some unknown reason.

 

[Gil T.Azell]

210 IQ, he should be working on creating Warp Drive,

135 IQ is in the Toilet??? Ouch!

I know! I took an online test and got 130. Now I feel bad.

No, you'll get in trouble outside TNZ. That is the only forum where flaming is permitted. Hence, this post has earned you an Infraction for Flaming. Particularly bizarre as it seems completely out of the blue.

Comments to PM. For real, this time.

 

[Nardpuncher]

Wow. Is it really permitted to be a jerk like that in TNZ?

I was actually asking for it this time , but I'm a little surprised that it's allowed even in TNZ. I just don't approve of Locutus of Bored much as he seems to be too involved and gets too emotional even though he's a moderator. I think he may spend too much time in TNZ and then when he leaves there he gets too, well, TNZ with other board members. Meaning angry.

No wonder I rarely go there.

 

[Robert Maxwell]

I forgot to add before: your IQ is not and should not be a measure of your value to society, as this guy appears to think it should. It doesn't mean a damn thing to me how smart you are if you aren't doing anything with it. What is this guy doing with his vast intellect? Yeah, not a whole hell of a lot.

120 here,
He's probably a real jerk as a bartender too.
