Self-deprecating humor doesn't convince me that someone is dumb.
But I agree with you 100% on the latter half of your statement. An overwhelming majority of people (no proof, just my conjecture) couldn't care less about being knowledgeable about anything outside of their immediate interests or outside of what they need to survive in their daily life, in other words, most people are ignorant as hell.
His sentence is correct though. lolSequence of tenses (known in Latin as consecutio temporum, and also known as agreement of tenses, succession of tenses and tense harmony) is a set of grammatical rules of a particular language, governing the agreement between the tenses of verbs in related clauses or sentences.
I listen to him once in a while, and I think he makes sense a lot of the time. Of course, I don't agree with everything he says, but no one agrees with everyone.
I think he is knowledgeable about many things and tries to learn a lot about a variety of topics. Overall though, I think he's pretty intelligent.
Thank you for the insightful response, much of the terminology or nomenclature you mentioned I lack familiarity (I was in marketing prior to retiring) but I’m interested to learn about and will look into.No one in the world believes that the ACT or SAT or LSAT determine intelligence. Although they do mirror some aspects of intelligence testing. Their primary purpose is determine if you possess basic problem solving skills taught during certain grades in school. If you were never taught the concepts or their foundational concepts, your intelligence doesn't matter, you won't do well on the tests.
But real intelligence tests go much further.
There is nothing wrong with the old school Binet-Simon Scale, but Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale is now the accepted test across disciplines and countries.
I'd love to learn more about Neuroimaging intelligence testing, although it could be used to hide racial and ethnic biases, rather than illustrate the impact of social, economic and environmental injustices on aspects of intelligence.
Two types of intelligences that are interesting reading topics are:
- Fluid intelligence
- Crystallized intelligence
People need to drop the ridicule of the ‘once ever’ comment. It is factually true, there will never again be a first ever women’s champion in the UFC.Probably. Or at least he may have been at one time.
But drugs have sure fucked him up. It’s hard to equate smart with “ once ever “. That’s just retarded.
Annnnnd the most obvious answer is......Yea, he's smart enough.
Plus he's a comedian right? Good comedians are generally pretty intelligent people.
LOL. Jesus Christ.
Well the first recent one that comes to mind... "Jon Jones probably failed his drug test because he did blow that was cut with steroid tainted creatine" LOL
Yeah, out of the thousands of hours he has talking on his podcast that is at the top of what I disagree with as well.
But cherry picking a few things out of thousands of hours of podcasts, doesn't necessarily indicate low IQ. While he generally can't be swayed by BS I wonder if he is distracted by what he "hopes" is the case as opposed to what is likely the case. And another poster made a good point that Jon Jones could be texting him directly influencing him.
