I was very careful not to say that I was especially intelligent. All I said was I feel confident that I’m above the average dingbat wandering the streets. I don’t feel any need to convince you of anything or tell you what I have done. I just read your post in the Non Douche Watch thread and so far all you’ve done is demonstrated the Dunning-Kruger effect. You need to learn your limitations.[/quote]
Oh my goodness. WOW.
Your mom, at IQ - was it 130? Is two standard deviations below you? Hold on, this is the internet, so we can find out quick-quick. . . Ah, here it is:

No, I don’t have some kind of Norman Bates thing going on. I think you’ve misunderstood my post. My mother was a smart woman but still around two standard deviations below me - ie, I had some level of respect for her achievements and intelligence but she wasn’t really anywhere near as smart as some of the smartest men I’ve known.[/quote]
And also this of course:

Was not a mommy’s boy. I’ve been working since I was 15. As soon as I finished school I went overseas and moved out when I came back. I moved back in for a couple of months a few years ago to take care of her in the final stages of her cancer. As I said, you guys are drawing an odd conclusion from what I said about her intelligence. I inherited whatever extra grey matter I have from her side of the family. That was part of my point.
Outside my family I haven’t come across too many very smart women. Even the high achievers like my neighbour who scored 99 on her HSC and is now an in house lawyer for a major corporation is thick as shit when it comes to stuff like lateral thinking, original thought, imagination and wisdom. She’s basically successful because she worked her arse off but it’s just rote learning. At a guess I’d say her IQ is maybe 115 or so. Met a couple of clever ladies at university but they were extremely plain and socially awkward and so on.[/quote]
And then of course this from the first page:

4. Now this one will make me sound like a narcissist but it’s true: I am superior to most other men. I consider myself kind of a self made aristocrat. I’m smarter than other guys; more mentally tough; have more balls etc. I have better taste; more knowledge etc. I naturally dress better because basically I am better. Okay, yes and I’m a narcissist. But if you don’t like yourself and believe yourself to be superior then other people(especially women) will not see you as a high value man.

This Dunning-Kruger effect - are you sure you understand what it means? Because frankly I’d put my money on Powerpuff.
