Why isn't Reagan's helping Saddam Hussein use chemical weapons on Iran REMEMBERED AS A DARK STAIN ON HIS PRESIDENCY?

Why wasn't GW Bush's bribing and extorting votes in the United Nations for an unjust war with Iraq REMEMBERED AS A DARK STAIN ON HIS PRESIDENCY?

Do you rely on the corporate news media to tell you which stain of US history you should remember? Certain ...[text shortened]... t.

You have no control over who remembers what. The corporate news media has that power, not you.
Give it a rest, Mr. Gaslight.

All well and good. Just how long do you think NK would last if it the Chinese stopped supporting them politically and financially?

A lot longer than they will - at least as a halfway civilised place - now the Han Terrorism is trying to reduce it to a slave colony.

My IQ is over 140 and I voted for Trump. FU
I've never known anyone to brag about having a high IQ (not that 140 is more than merely high), and then prove to be intelligent.

It is.

HTH; HAND.

The general bias against trump set in well before day 1.
The man is a notorious fukwit with the intelligence of the average US republikunt on this forum, mixed with the humor and wit of Dutchess.
Oh, come on. That's not fair on Trump. He's sub-human, but not that far sub.

The post that was quoted here has been removed
"John Von Neumann IQ is 190, which is considered as a super genius
and in top 0.1% of the population in the world."


That statement is of course technically correct in that he is in the top 0.1% but I think it grossly understates John von Neumann's intelligence, as a p-value of 0.001 would imply an IQ of between 145 and 150 (roughly). If he scored 190, then he either has a z-score of 6 or 5.63 depending on whether you assume variance of 225 or 256, but it doesn't really matter either way. Both would yield p-values that are far lower than 0.001.

If John von Neumann were only that intelligent, then assuming a population of 7.5 billion, there should be 7.5 million people on Earth today of comparable intelligence, which is clearly absurd.

Of course, as I said before, the article is technically correct, and there is the issue of the heights at which IQ is no longer statistically significant, but I still think that they could put a lower p-value. IQ of 145-150 is good, but it's not that uncommon, and it certainly isn't anywhere close to John von Neumann.


@Duchess64
Why then did China jump in to defend NK in the Korean war?
