Children are so smart these days!


They are instinctual animals. They know what's what. 

If only the American Electorate was that smart.

Now, I love that! And I have NO doubt that he's thinking exactly the same as the rest of us.

So I've got Twain/Chambers advocating multi-marriage, in this case all the men married the girl, but you get drift.

You get it, drift; you do.

Even your right-wing heros, ya know, Whittaker Chambers and shit, uh, even they, like, yeah, even them man, are against your stupid racist right-wing fascism, asshole. Just FUCK OFF.

Fucking bullshit;

I am about to advance something you folks ain't ready for.

The fact many GOP voters, commentators and common taters whatever, blogwise is the thing, know more than Trump about this or that little, tiny, MOST UNHUGE detail is an asset to many potential Trump voters.

The reason is the human condition, physiologically adapted to question (in order to provide structure to the forgone conclusion of the faux-query internal answer) why another has so much and we so unmuch, or not much, so when an answer is given without regard to the knowledge we thought was important, to be a good citizen and all is why we learned it and that's why it's important as Ben Franklin could tell ya if only, but which made us poorer compared to the subject of our criticism for his lack of knowledge that we have concludes upon a similar note.

The lack of harmony precludes any note from the ability to give pleasure to the ear focused and trained or hearing for decency unululationwise is the tragedy.

The power to fix it is divine, Jesus, and only can we make it so today that the tomorrows can understand.

Like Reagan said, freedom is always one generation away from extinction.

We, you, are still that generation; ya fall uh*?

John Locke And The Doctrine of Majority-Rule.

I turn to page 50 and find, after searching for something English, this:

It is equally obvious that the stringent absolutism of Pufendorf...

Okay flip to 101 and what do I got:

blah blah concluding paragraph (I think, can't quite tell) and then this:

"So far in full agreement with our own interpretation; but not so in the sequel:

There is in this conception nothing of that absolute, unlimited and uncontrollable sovereignty which was the soul of Hobbes' system. (cite in upper case little bity letters 38)"

Um. Well. Ah.

This is a great book by a great mind I can't comprehend. Weakness ain't for breakfast, tell ya what.

Guildofcannonballs said...

Stringent absolutism robs absolutism of its rights as extreme, does it not?

No.

Stringent absolutism has penalties like Islam.

Not getting suspended for making a motion like in the beloved film of yesteryear, A Christmas Story.

Pew Pew Pew.

Pew Pew.

But both are absolute bullshit indeed.

Since you folks don't get it, I'll be happy to tell ya.

Sorry, pet peeve. Deborah will understand.

If we define intelligence as that score attained per the quotient test, and others define the quotient as existence via children born, who is smarter, how?

If you can't define Darwanism but, uh, define survival of the fittest who is smartest based upon what terms compared to a childless Darwinian dead-end anthroprof?

Very good point, Guild. Brainiacs are too smart for this world. They think themselves to extinction.

That's an observation. But it is not wholly true. Smart people ARE marrying. And they're marrying other smart people and producing smart and talented children.

Self selecting.

Wicked smart. Top talent. Fiercely ambitious. They work harder and longer and more exactingly more demanding than ever.

Guild, I've been hooked on the days on videos of talented young people. They're in studios across the world practicing all day. Like drill sergeants on themselves nailing their routines. It appears that dance troops break into competitive units and choreograph a song competitively within the troupe, so there is camaraderie and support even as the units compete. And they are brilliant. One leads to the next and to the next and so on until the whole night has passed in fascination just mesmerized with what these children are doing.

The transgender thing one unit did with one song stood out among the rest as particularly arresting and the other units did similar things with the song.

I think the studios compete.

Now, IRL, they may be stupid but tremendously talented and simply extremely hard working, but I doubt it. I think they are the product of brilliant parents and this is their progeny making the most of their lives. Using their bodies to their fullest while they are physically able and all of that together is quite smart and it does indicate hope for the world and security in the knowledge that smart people really do breed.

The trippy overnighter originated by searching Sia Bird Set Free covers, another instance of tremendous éclat. I've studied this song. It is brilliant. Sia is brilliant. It's not just me thinking this either. She resonates.

The song is set to dance a thousand studios across the globe. One video has over a billion YouTube views. That's how much this woman resonates. Even on a bad night, exhausted in France, she is awe inspiring. Inspiring of talent in others.

YouTube search [dance, bird set free]

See for yourself, the children of smart and talented people. With resources sufficient to allow them to dance all day. Twelve hour days. Commitment as you rarely see firsthand and here it is on display for us. I am countering the argument, Guild, that smart people do not breed. They do. Here are their kids.

Junho Lee Choreography You're expected to spot Junho. Who is the teacher here?

The interpretation of lyrics is excellent. I cannot possibly do any better in sign and I am deeply impressed and humbled.

It's partial. None do a complete thing. It's all bits. One video ends and leads to another and another.

Sound is turned into physical movement and performed as if programed into robots. Every single movement, every hand and foot placement is precisely placed in space. A human is doing it so there is feeling. They show the feeling the song is expressing better than anything I've seen. This is a new plateau of art brought by a new generation of dedicated performers. They are nothing short of brilliant truly brilliant and proof that smart people have children. I can die knowing the world is safe for progressing excellence because very smart people keep having children.

Turns out the video is the least of them. All the videos that followed were better and even more interesting. My jaw dropped with the routines these kids have mastered.

Even if this proof turns out to be gay, or too hard working to produce children, or too smart themselves for their britches and fail to reproduce. Or all three. Half at least will, and these are only the dancers, this same phenomena occurs in every field.

Korean. Talk about culture appropriation. They tuk r songs!

Found it. This is the one that blows my mind because the dude's are wearing heals. The studio is one of half a dozen that I watched. Wiggle by Jason Derulo. How do they know about all this American music before I do? It's pissing me off. Bongoung Park Choreography. They are delightfully punch-drunk bendy precisely insane.

I see it everywhere too, and always have, so not more than ever, but certainly more than most - more than 99%, which is why we have income inequality. It's due to effort and discipline inequality. Maybe the government could hand out some of that.

Hillary is definitely scary in that way.

More pictures like this. Women don't believe what men say about other women. But if a baby hates another women then they will know something foul's afoot.

I also heard that that's a plausible explanation for the rise in autism.

I don't see how dancing to a barbaric yawp, no matter how tight the choreography, proves anything about intelligence. If they were dancing to Ravel's La Valse or his Pavane for a Dead Princess or Debussy's Afternoon of a Faun that would at least provide them platforms to take off from and build on but they're dancing to NOISE!
