How do you guys deal...

[Dauphin]

That jump at the end is a pain too.

Okay, I'll admit it, I love puns, and that one literally made me laugh out loud.

Doctors always fall for the disease puns.

You realise he said it to wind people like you up? The validity of the claim is pretty much irrelevant, unless KH has a weird validation complex involving Poly.

While I don't know Kitty in person, I wouldn't rule out that complex. It certainly is weird that a man who's purportedly got such an awesome life would so frequently make an effort to let us know about it. Or be so pointlessly abusive. Or, apparently, drink like a fish--and a British fish, at that. Idunno, maybe he genuinely is happy, but he doesn't give me that impression. The lady doth protest too much, and all that.

Anyway, do you mean to say that this kind of blatant, out-of-the-blue trolling does NOT represent a validation complex?

[Dauphin]

The time I met him, he seemed a bit of a lightweight.

And, usually I would, but I am giving benefit of the doubt.

I have met KrazyKat in person, and I am also relatively puzzled why he continues to post here so frequently.

Validation is a funny thing.

According to this:

http://www.iqcomparisonsite.com/SATIQ.aspx

A 1600 SAT corresponds to a 152-155 IQ which is around where I would expect KH to be (granted, someone with a higher IQ could score no more than 1600). 155 IQ is 99.97 percentile... which is like 1 in 3500.

With 7 billion people that means there are 2 million people 99.97th percentile or above.

Like I said. There's several hundred thousand to a couple million people with his capacity or greater.

I highly doubt KH's IQ is higher than 155. That's ridiculously impressive as is and he should be more than happy that he is that intelligent. But it's not even close to top 20,000 living today, let alone in all time.

My IQ is in the paltry low 130's range and I consistently feel like a ubermensch intellectually everywhere, including in my undergraduate days... except when I come here.

Wow, I'm actually smarter than I thought. Is it me, or is the US measurement of IQ guilty of, erm, padding its figures upwards...?

[The Mad Monk]

Gee, I'm in the 99.863rd percentile. Go me.

[Felch]

Well it has the 50th percentile at 880, which is a ****ing terrible score. My math score alone would put me above one third of humanity. Then again, there are a lot of really stupid people on this planet, so maybe it's accurate.

[Lorizael]

I still say there are several hundred thousand to even a million geniuses out there right now on the level of an Isaac Newton...

No.

I think if KH wants validation he should go crash this PUA event

[What] Gotham Alphas Night Out. We meet at Verlaine (110 Rivington Street New York, NY 10002 )
[When] Friday June 1 at 8:00 pm. Sharp.
[Dress Code] Dress with style but don't overdress (whatever it means to YOU)
[Yes/ No] If you're in: (a) PM me OR (b) reply under this post.

If you're NOT 21, figure out how to get into places. If you're < 50, that's cool, too. if you're a girl, No big deal. It helps, too.[Wing Rules]

• Person who opens owns the set and chooses the target. Wing grabs what's left.
  
• When disagreement of opinion occurs, you ALWAYS side with you wing. Even if it means lying.
  
• You do not DLV your wing in any circumstance.
  
• Me and my wings have a certain codes. If the person who opened says: "She kinda looks like Michelle, right?" It means he is declaring her to be his target. Saying "yes" acknowledges it, saying "no" to it says you don't want to wing this set (if the friend is like really bad or whatever, but you almost never say no). Jane is suggesting somebody as target. So we might have an exchange like this: "Hey, dude, doesn't she look like Jane? (I recommend her as your target) "Nah, I was actually thinking that this friend of her's kinda looks like Michelle." (I don't want her, I'll take her instead) 'Yeah, you are right, she does (I acknowledge the target).

Remember how Al B Sure was claiming to be an alpha?

[Elok]

Yeah. Isaac Newton was pretty incredible. He spent a tremendous portion of his time screwing around with alchemy BS, and he STILL had time to basically invent physics (and calculus). If he'd given real math and science his full attention, we'd probably be having this conversation on an extrasolar colony or something. And if there are a hundred thousand people of his caliber alive, whereTF are they? Zimbabwe?

Ah, figured it out, they're not using the same IQ test as Mensa. That's actually a relief really, because I already feel like an underachiever as it is!

It was pretty easy for him to do that, because he stole it from Leibniz.
