It pains me to see too many bring up IQ. Don't get me wrong - it matters. However, like I've said before, that's not all that matters. There are elements of every society that holds the individual back. For instance, our communities could commonly create stable geniuses, only to have them dulled by morans in places of power who's only aim is to ensure their inability to utilize their intelligence. I've never understood how you guys can't see past the numbers. It's like the money question: you may very well be the richest person around, but what do you do once you've purchased everything possible? What do you do if, instead, you never have anything available for purchase? I get it - this may be a fault comparison because money is for goyim, but if we look past that for a minute and localize the assertion to the middle-class, we see that having all of the money in the world doesn't equate to having all of the potential in the world coupled with having anything available to you. Too many of you sell yourselves short with falling for the continued "look at these numbers. if yours are better, you're better!" bait. This faulty numbers smokescreen arises at many angles in these places. So much persuasion is based on constructing a model of comparison for you to focus on, only to ensure you don't think more thoughts about the system once you see your magic numbers are higher than someone else's. Another thing it's doing is creating a dynamic of false-superiority. Now you'll never step away from these beliefs because once you enter the mindset, you believe that if you evade it you'll only ever be worse than you were before in comparison to someone else. The ego is a nifty thing. Unfortunately, it's used against you much more than plenty of you seem to understand.
