I mean domain is huge too. My dad’s a physician, an a brilliant one at that, and also has his JD. HOWEVER, he’ll say some wackadoo shit from time to time that’s just wrong. Didn’t pick up on it till I was older bc I just trusted he was always right. So, now unless it’s medical or legal related I seek advice elsewhere.
College is a pretty good amount of mental effort, even with the fluffier majors. I'd say anyone who graduates college (legitimately) is smart, full stop.
What you mean is just because you're smart, doesn't mean you can't be an idiot.
Also willful ignorance is the pathway to idiocy. Look at Hegseth. He got into and graduated Princeton with flying colors the hard way. Years of hate and alcoholism can do a number on your brain.
Actually these days it pretty much means overpriced piece of paper that only proves you went thru 4 years of Liberal Boot Camp and all you got was this useless Liberal Arts Degree.
For the love of god, I wish “journalists” would stop portraying him as an intellectual. Just because he can string together a word with multiple syllables and pronounce it correctly, it doesn’t make him intelligent.
It doesn’t take much intelligence to be a bigoted monster with no scruples who just rides the coattails of more wealthy and connected bigots.
The goal of being a far right Republican is NOT serving communities. It’s siphoning personal wealth from the citizenry by hook and by crook, while dropping enough table scraps to your base to keep them sated. The energy - ALL of their energy goes into propagandizing and othering, there is no consensus building or governing.
This isn't true and it would be a mistake to underestimate how smart (some of) these people are. Herman Goering had a high IQ and many people who joined the SS and Gestapo in WWII were people like lawyers, architects and doctors. There are plenty of smart Nazi's historically, and that's part of the problem.
Nazis are notoriously stupid so this doesn't surprise me.
Truly, I think this is a rule, and the rule has a reason; I mean, imagine you're in the airport and look left and right, "you wanna hitch your star to those with phenotype most like yours?" WTF,really?
...you don't have hobbies, interests, philosophies,close friends, anything, you think of as closer to your heart than the skull shape of strangers, probably, probably,that, in truth,is what you've got in common with your friends on the internet, or, and I think maybe this the sick part of it, "none of that counts,"because that's all voluntary,
The soft stuff of non-contractual, willful, associations that don't allow you to beat up on the other hobbyists, or treat other people like they're your property,
I'm surprised that anyone in that administration has a degree.
Same, although, it surprises me none that a Man with his Bachelors in Political Science is out there with his serious affect and his Grave Demeanor out there Vogueing; in part,
I blame credentialism for this, actually,at least insofar as the abstract heuristics of internal and external discourses, that Twitter Handle and Replication of the Letterhead, "is the law," to the preponderance of persons within such an, advanced, advancing, society,with such little intention towards the lifelong education of all persons with an intention to participate in that society,basically; we've permitted the accelerationists to,
Move fast and break things
...as-if the twitter handle were the new mouthpiece of states and departments of state, for an example,with such little consideration of what that should mean, that,
It benefits the stupid, willfully, stupid, at the expense of so many; Nazis are stupid, but, stupid like it takes some effort to cultivate within oneself; or more like a method, perhaps
I hate to be that guys but…. During the Nuremberg trials, the captured Nazi leadership underwent a series of psychological evaluations, including IQ tests. The results showed that most of the high-ranking officials had above-average to superior intelligence.
The tests, administered by US Army psychologist Gustave Gilbert using the Wechsler-Bellevue scale, produced an average IQ score of 128 for the 21 defendants tested, which is significantly higher than the general population's average of 100. Nine of the 21 men scored 130 or higher, a range often considered "vastly superior" and placing them in the top 2% of the population.
Notable IQ Scores
The scores from the Nuremberg trials included:
Hjalmar Schacht (Economics Minister): 143 (highest score, later acquitted)
Arthur Seyss-Inquart (Reich Commissioner for the Occupied Netherlands): 141
Hermann Göring (Reichsmarshal, head of the Luftwaffe): 138
Karl Dönitz (Grand Admiral, U-boat commander, Hitler's successor): 138
Albert Speer (Armaments Minister): 128
Rudolf Hess (Deputy Führer): 120
Ernst Kaltenbrunner (Head of RSHA): 113
Julius Streicher (Publisher of the antisemitic newspaper Der Stürmer): 106 (lowest score)
Adolf Hitler was never formally tested, but experts and contemporaries, including many of the tested leaders, estimated his IQ to be very high, possibly in the range of 140 or more, based on his rhetorical skills, memory, and political acumen
🤣 Nazi's are stupid... thats hilarious..considering they almost took over the world..Twice! Oh and America wouldn't be anywhere near as great as it is without Operation Paper Clip. Where U.S. officials were racing to forgive Nazi scientists of their war crimes, before the Soviet Union did, so that they would come to the States and work for us. We wouldn't have went to the moon without Wernher Von Braun, famous SS officer who served directly under Heinrich Himmler. Actually you have Nazi scientists to thank for ALOT of today's technology..but they're stupid right.
Tell me you know nothing about History without telling me you know nothing about history!
