Regular readers of this Web Log will know that I am know fan of academia - Liberals wafting around in their ivory Mickey Mouse towers thinking of new ways to destroy this Once Great Nation, and FINALLY I have proof.
Poppycock I say! I know lots of my fellow intellerati are in fact highly intelligent and yet they are right wing and, like a coiled Cobra, sprang into action to defend right-wing views and Common Sense from this highly transparent slur! Such as hillside from sydney:
200! The smartest man who ever lived and his friends who exist in a state of heightened intelligence with multiple degrees/diplomas (same thing) are all VERY right-wing. Some still are both Conservative and prejudiced against people on the basis of their culture (not race!), or ethnic identity (not race!) or the fact they're minorities whilst still packing in the grey matter. As Paul puts it:“I have an IQ over 200, have six degrees/diplomas and am "right wing" as are others I know at this higher level of intelligence.” - hillside, sydney, 3/2/2012 6:01
Luckily we have just such a hero in Lord Haw Haw:"it's a brave man these days to point out any ills in particular cultures or ethnic and minority groups." - paul, ukip next govt., 3/2/2012 2:12
Ok maybe race, but no - the whole thing smacks of a liberal conspiracy, in which the BBC no doubt had a hand:“I have been described, inter alia, as " a notorious anti-semite" and as "racist" (despite the fact that I am biased in favour of CULTURE not race as such, but race in our age is the main foundation for culture in large populations), yet my IQ was once tested by an official body at 155, i.e. in the top half of one percent of the UK population”- Lord Haw Haw, UK, 3/2/2012 14:38
“Sounds like a BBC study, type of thing they would waste the Licence fee on, load of Cods wallop.” - Terry, Leicester, 2/2/2012They sit. THEY SIT! In their IVORY TOWERS spending MY LICENCE FEE MONEY! ON THIS! CANADIAN METASTUDY! It's enough to make the blood boil! And why are the Lefties doing this? Simple:
Liberal bloody Communists again. Fascist Communists too, I’ll warrant, who want other people to think for them. And Academics are the worst of the lot. Take Ted’s testimony:“I've always found left wing Liberals to be rather sheep like, the type that crave Communism so they don't have to think for themselves.” - Adam, Essex, 3/2/2012 6:3
“I seem to remember "academics" once upon a time stating that the world was flat and the Sun orbitted the Earth.....Funny how some groups of people can be wrong all the time.” - Ted, Teddington, 2/2/2012 21:22I think I remember that too. Was it not Brian Cox claiming only last year that they Earth was as flat as a pancake before having to revise his theories following a trip to the Maldives? More chilling is this brilliant deconstruction of 20th century politics:
“@Jan, Wokingham, to give them their full title, they were the "National Socialist German Workers Party. They were utterly left wing. The only reason they werent communists is because they wanted power for themselves.” - wheres maggie, New Milton, 3/2/2012 11:03NAZI Fascist Communists Lefties! A political movement that wanted to gain power over society. That's what was wrong with them. I agree with Rob, who suggests that we:
Bloody well right, and don’t come back until you’re over 90% certain. Also, we need to stop the NaziFascistCommunistLeftieAcademics using words to determine intelligence. How can an intelligent person answer questions if they don’t know what the words in the questions mean?!“File this report in the same place as the conclusive evidence of manmade climate change.” - Rob, Lincs, 3/2/2012 10:33
“the "intelligence tests" used by this study were based on verbal tests that require knowledge of the words used and also basic short term memory tests, and even a test for drawing skills. Not exactly a sound scientific study of intelligence.” - Barry, UK, 4/2/2012 20:28Precisely. Using verbal reasoning and memory tests is certainly no way to measure intelligence. In either case we need to get a grip and remember that, because we are reasoning, whatever that reason tells us is correct:
Add to that our rich seam of Common Sense, which tells us that schools and universities brainwash our children in order to prop up the elites:“I am a highly reasoning right wing person and that reasoning tells me I am correct in my beliefs and do not have to accept the incorrect reasoning of others, particularly psychologists.” Mick, Maidstone, 2/2/2012 20:57
And I’m sure he’s got evidence. I, like Josephine Capenerhurst, shall be ignoring this article until it goes away, but not before mocking it:“This study is a ridiculous attempt by obviously left wing researchers to imply low intelligence to those who oppose their views and to undermine the democratic will of the population by justifying rule by the elites. Schools and institutions of higher education have been brainwashing (by presenting facts and arguments that only support left wing ideology) our more intelligent students for years. We are now at the point where our elites are hopelessly out of touch with and dismiss the views of the rest of us. There is more understanding and common sense in the man on the street than what you will meet in any of the bastions of academia, judiciary, public service or big business.”- hillside, sydney, 3/2/2012 6:01
Sez has the last word, showing that even if we do turn out to be a semiconductor short of a transistor, there’s nothing so durable a defence as Common Sense:“Thank goodness the majority of DM readers are intelligent enough to mock and ignore such a ridiculous article.!!!” - Josephine Capenerhurst, Isle of Wight, England, 3/2/2012 10:00
Exactly! Case closed. Academics - take your books and your "studies" and ask yourselves this: If we're so stupid, why do you think we think we're right?! Game set and match.“Ha! Well this would prove my theory that people with high intelligence have no common sense!!!!!” - Sez, London, 2/2/2012 23:19
