lillii am currently going down a rabbit hole over the fact that a number of websites, such as worldpopulationreview.com and wisevoter.com, list Nepal as having an average IQ of 43. even taking IQ to be a valid metric (which I don't), this is such an insane claim that i cannot even comprehend it: it would mean that someone with an IQ of 100 is as rare in Nepal as someone with an IQ of 160 is in an average country. it would imply that it is statistically impossible to be an intelligent Nepali. so where the fuck does the claim come from?
apparently from a book by this guy named Richard Lynn, who self-identifies as a "scientific racist" and was editor-in-chief of a journal founded in 1960 to support segregation. and even he says the Nepal claim is "very implausible" and says "we would expect a national IQ for Nepal not so far below the national IQ of its neighbourhood country India (76.24)" ¹
but these websites reproduce it without the ambiguity that even this white supremacist gives to the claim, so now if you search up the average IQ of Nepal, you can end up on a normal-looking site reproducing a white supremacist claim that literally all Nepalese people are severely mentally impaired, only without even the nuance attributed to it by that white supremacist. this is completely ridiculous
¹ also, what is up with having four significant digits here? there is no chance in hell that you've determined the average IQ of India to two decimal places, Richard. do you think you sound more plausible if you tack on a .24 at the end? do you think that if people are distracted by decimals they won't realize what you're trying to do?
@jhwgh1968@chjara lmfao i'll start pinging this then. but also your searching for the numerological significance of 9 is extremely funny to me since like, my Whole Thing is being really really REALLY into an occult system in which the number 9 is absolutely central (and also the number 36, 4*9)

lillithe Blackpaper (read: not a whitepaper) seeks to create lucid delirium, not to definitively answer a list of questions. literally no one, not even Nyx, agrees with the Blackpaper in the sense that one agrees with a catechism. it is clear from the title of the Blackpaper onward that G/ACC encourages multiplicity within itself on a level that most manifesto-type documents cannot. and yet for years ive seen G/ACC constantly treated as if it were a monolithic consensus (of whom lol) to negate, both by people unreasonably hostile toward it and by people adjacent to it. why? you have ample creative freedom to remix G/ACC in so many ways, so why is opposition to it almost always the go-to option?

lillii see gen z ppl referring to the "skibidi toilet" meme as proof that they're out of touch now and don't understand gen alpha meme culture but. i completely understand it actually, it's just g mod fight scenes with an implicit narrative combined with some superficial scatological humour. this isn't novel stuff
@ciel@kittenlikeasmallcat@nyx not especially! AQ is honestly closest to simple gematria (i.e. A = 1, Z = 26), except AQ actually includes the numerals within the cipher, such that 0 = 0, 1 = 1, 9 = 9, A = 10, Z = 36. in that sense it corresponds with the assignment of letters to numbers in higher bases, and is sort of weird among gematrias for making both numerals and letters its objects, rather than specifically letters
this is actually the really salient reason for the name AQ, and the reason the acronym AQ is usually preferred over anything it's supposed to stand for. A = AQ 10, for the ten numerals. Q = AQ 26, for the 26 letters. 10 + 26 = 36, the 36 glyphs of AQ, which then map onto the numogram
@shibao@nyx@kittenlikeasmallcat AQ is a gematricular cipher. what it stands for is kinda confusing: anglossic qabbala, alphanumeric qabbala, alphanumeric qabbalism, etc. are all proposals
likewise, most people divide their genital history into pre-op, peri-op, and post-op. i, however, having embraced The Eternal Vulvaplasty of God, would argue th—

lillithinking about how the tradcath i was friends with a year ago was so upset about people receiving communion on the hand instead of on the tongue, and i was like "why does this matter lol," and he was like, "well because communion is literally god, and if you receive it on the hand it's likely to get crumbs on the ground, and then you're likely to step on them, which is blasphemous." and i just like. completely instantly Got It. like "oh that makes total sense, logic checks out"
