@Starprophet1 @Kalogerosstilitis2RevengeoftheJunta @Neofugue1 @alchemy Power to effectuate changes in policy is not a matter of intelligence. It is a matter of connections -- who you know, and the position that puts you in. And actual Christians, especially White ones, are excluded from positions of power and influence.
This is why admission to the Ivies is such a big deal -- because that is a primary path to making those critical connections for people who don't already have them via family ties.
Thus there are a number of men with extraordinarily high capabilities and intelligence in my church -- generally engineers in the defense industry -- who have very little access to political influence.
It is also a factor that highly intelligent people aren't always oriented toward power-seeking. If you want such people in positions of power and influence, you have to actively push them. It is a truism that those who pursue power tend to be the last people who should actually have it.

@lks @Starprophet1 @Kalogerosstilitis2RevengeoftheJunta @Neofugue1 @alchemy This is an interesting conundrum. We have a culture where capability and power are disconnected. We have some seriously stupid people in Congress, for example. And we have literal geniuses basically consigned to artificial light in labs.
There are a lot of moving parts to the problem. But one simple part we can easily remedy is that we allow kids to basically pursue what THEY find interesting, rather than molding them to be responsible wielders of power and to understand that wielding it is their responsibility.
This is something we had with aristocracy, but lack today except (of course) in the cases of familial power transfer.
Everyone with an IQ of 130+ has had the experience of answering to a stupid boss who does not, and cannot, understand important things. And that problem is factors worse for those with a truly high IQ.
Unless someone is part of the ruling class already, kids with high IQs are groomed into STEM instead of into politics etc. (Those with lopsided verbal might do law.) That's why people with majors in public administration etc tend to have among the lowest IQs of all college students.
So maybe instead of pointing our high IQ kids toward stem, we should point them toward paths to power.

@s2208 @WilhelmIII @zeke @Aly @thefinn I was just curious -- I went through and accidental PUA phase and stacked up a low triple digit count in about 3 years, and I don't consider myself either alpha or good looking ... I'm not even tall.
But I DO have borderline psychopathic self-confidence ...

@s2208 @zeke @Aly @thefinn Can a guy's SMV be estimated by sex partner count?
Relevant is that the dynamics have changed to such a degree that any guy who is a 7 or below is probably a virgin now at 30.
I think at this point, when looking at guys under 30, any non-virgin is probably an 8 or higher.

@s2208 @Escoffier @UnCL3 I've actually done it with a friend of mine in a big mall during Christmas shopping season.

@Escoffier @UnCL3 To very broadly paraphrase ... "fuck 'em."
Anybody can throw on a cross and claim to be "Christian" and then claim their religion allows whatever.
Works the other way too though. Not unusual for me to throw on a yarmulke, let people ASSUME I must be Jewish, and go running around calling people "stupid cattle" and discussing my plans to wipe out the white race.

@s2208 I know an Asian chick who is proud of how racist she is against subcontinental indians (they stink) and blacks (they are dumb and violent). I have tried to explain that's not really racism -- that's just truth.

@s2208 She'd probably agree with it. Asians can be surprisingly based.

Decaf coffee is not coffee.
It is an abomination, and most properly called "brown sadness water."

@s2208 @Dan_Hulson @Jonaschuzzlewit @idea_enjoyer @mackya @tyler @Dan_Hulson @KittyTantrum But why would a man want to deal with TWO low value women, when one is too many already?

@teknomunk @Rasterman It's likely in the right hand column under "releases."
But, admittedly, people unfamiliar with github etc probably would not suspect that -- it's only intuitive for ... um ... smelly nerds.

@sickburnbro Also, the 2k/year he was paying to maintain that one car was far cheaper than a car payment.
