Quick Hits: Are You Smarter Than an SJW? Edition

This pyrsyn, who has the pronoun "THEM" tattooed on THEM's neck, tries to broker a truce between the pansexuals and the bisexuals. The bisexuals say the term "pansexual" is an attempt to engage in "bi erasure," and eliminate their descriptor by coining another descriptor that says mostly the same thing.

I know exactly what you're all thinking: You're all thinking, "FINALLY, someone is talking some sense about all this pansexual-bisexual infighting! At last, THE VOICE OF REASON!"

I'm submitting her for a Nobel Peace Prize. I think she'll be inducted on the first ballot.

This person is definitely mentally stable and we should totally reconfigure all of society in order to adapt ourselves to her perfectly-normal patterns of thought.

This racist, Zembabwe-prelude madness will not stop until we "rise up," as Democrat politicians say, and "get in their faces," as another Democrat politician says.

Someone needs to start a national organization dedicated to taking over the local schoolboards.

Finally: six people were asked to rank the intelligence of themselves versus a group of five strangers. (So six rankings in all.)

They did this based on superficial knowledge, like what field they work in and where they went to college -- if at all.

And, I'm going to postulate: Based on SJW factors, too. Like "White Men, they're the worst, amirite?"

So below, an SJW declares herself to be the second smartest (I think everyone figured out the Asian guy must be really smart) and the Dumb White Guy (ytpipa, amirite?) as the stupidest.

Let's see how that worked out for her.

After all that embarrassing bragging and smug arrogance, could it have possibly been anything else?

Oh, the guy the group decided was the least intelligent is a... Marine.

So that's why they thought he was less intelligent.

Here's the longer video. Key quote: Asking the Marine, "Can't anybody do your job?"

The Dunning-Krueger Syndrome

It's real and it's spectacular.

No, seriously, Dunning-Kreuger is in massive effect here. This woman has an IQ of 112. That is decently above-average, of course.

But it's not a huge IQ. Not at all. Statistically, they call it an "AllahPundit level IQ."

Presumably this woman had some idea of her IQ.

So how could she have walked into a room with five strangers and thought that a 112 IQ would take the silver?

This is Dunning-Krueger-- the least competent people greatly overestimate their level of competence because their level of competence is so low they can't imagine what true high competence even looks like.

Somehow she hypnotized herself into thinking that the IQ scale effectively tops out at 120.

(She might have assumed that the sampling was rigged to have one high IQ person, one modestly high IQ person, two average IQs, one below average IQ, and one IQ in the profoundly sub-normal range of a Chris "Prison Lips" Cillizza. But then, she couldn't have thought that -- most of the people in the group had backgrounds indicating above-average IQ. She would have had to know that this panel was loaded to the average-to-high spectrum. Unless she is a Dunning-Krueger Dum-Dum, of course!)

Well, at least her schools taught her self-esteem. That's what matters.

That last one thanks to bonhomme, who got it from Lauren Southern.
