Random Humorous Things - A Light-Hearted Thread

[brewer]

A high testing score doesn't imply cheating. Shapiro is actually a perfect example of a very bright guy holding very stupid ideas.

From spending a considerable amount of time listening to him, Shapiro sounds every inch the idiot who came from a rich background who got every advantage and never had to work who, as a consequence, was fooled into thinking he's the smartest guy in the room.

He's the US equivalent of a Clongowes D4 rugger bugger.

Why? I'd had enough after minutes.

How was that score verified?

BTW, if you listen to the guy speak, it's clear that he's got a very quick mind.

I don't think the score itself has been verified, but, given that he ended graduating Harvard Law cum laude (and at the age of 23), it'd probably be more surprising if it wasn't alarmingly high. 

He's got a quick mind, to be sure, but, sadly, he realised he can make a lot more money using that mind for bullshit than for good.

That's impressive, but not as much as it sounds.

A kid who graduates high school at 17 (common), who takes the maximum AP courses (less common, but there were at least 25 or so of these kids at the high school I taught at) can easily complete a university degree in three years, at age 20.  A further three years of Harvard Law makes them 23 at graduation.  He's probably in the 95th percentile of his age group, but so were the majority of my fellow Engineering honor students.

He graduated high school at sixteen, by the way. If his Wikipedia page is any indication, he skipped Third and Ninth grades.

The sad thing is, of all the many Talking Heads that call the Daily Wire home, Benny-Boy's probably the worst one to treat as a non-entity who wouldn't survive in any other job. Matt Walsh is probably one; could you imagine ANY other job that would still keep him after it turned out that he openly advocated impregnating 16-year-olds and doubled down when called out on it?

I like laughing at entitled idiots who think they're clever.
