Even reading the headline makes me stupider.

This guy is like a black hole of IQ or something.

I’m surprised he doesn’t have anything better to do.

I can’t think of many things more :face_vomiting: than someone putting their supposed IQ in their profile name, but the guy and his IQ seem very dubious.

Not much comes up about him on the internet, except him bragging about what he claims his IQ is. And this:

Strange. I found a whole bunch on him.

Here’s Reader’s Digest for one.

Why not use that more efficiently like studying physics or engineering.instead he reads the bible. Maybe he could read it in Greek and Hebrew and then Latin. That would be more impressive than just the King James.

Reading the Bible in Hebrew is rewarding.

I’m sure. How did it help you ?

If you know Hebrew, you notice more stuff even when you’re reading in English. It also helps with reading Biblical scholarship, which I do a lot. This way I know more of what they’re talking about instead of glossing over things. I’ve gone through beginning textbooks, which is the equivalent of two semesters worth.

I guess I should calibrate my statement on reading the Bible in Hebrew; I’ve started on small books like Malachi and Jonah.

We can get a Biblical languages thread on Forumosa if people want to learn.

He didn’t understand it the first 999 times.
Especially the part that says “Thou shalt not lie.” He’s a fraudster trying to deceive the gullible, apparently successfully.

Plus lots of others exposing this self-promoting fake.

So sounds like his IQ is accredited by a society he controls? Sounds legit.

Further proof IQ ≠ intelligence.

What a stupid way to waste time.

2 or 3 times has got to be enough, right? Maybe re-read some highlights after that

He just claimed he had high IQ, he never said his memory was ok. If you can’t even remember what you have read after 100 times, you should give up

had a guy who attached his MENSA membership certificate to a job application at my company.

Now he is dead, so can’t talk bad of deceased, but I found that amusing. The boss laughed at it. Would never do anything like that, jeez what a wanker move.

It’s thou shall not bear false witness, but what did he lie about?

There’s been a fair amount of translation over the millenia.
