The Curious Case of Rick Rosner
By Johnny Cat in Neatorama Exclusives on Nov 22, 2009 at 3:18 am
Is there such a thing as “too smart” or perhaps too smart for your own good? Bruce G. Charlton states a common observation that “high IQ types are lacking in ‘common sense’ – and especially when it comes to dealing with other human beings.”
This is a statement that could easily be exemplified by Rick Rosner. Despite a high IQ and a firm grasp on a litany of subjects, including writing, Rick’s life has had some strange twists and turns that are the combined result of his skewed sensibilities, and his desire to be famous.
Rick’s exploits, and the fact that he got a 44/48 on the Hoeflin Test are legendary. He’s also been said to have an IQ that rises each time he takes the test. Here’s his story.
Genius Prefers High School
Rosner liked high school a lot. After graduating with a (then) IQ score of 170 in 1978, he later successfully fooled school officials by repeating the twelfth grade four times. From 1979 to 1987, he returned as a valid senior four times using false IDs, prosthetics and makeup. On why he did this, he says:
High school’s attractive to me, not necessarily because you have a good time, but because it’s clear why you are miserable. As opposed to real life – post-high-school life- you can be miserable and not have a clear idea what makes you miserable. Dissatisfactions are more vague, more amorphous. (High school’s) an abridged version of real life, and its abridgment adds clarity, and that clarity is comforting.
It’s also interesting to note that he got away with one of his fake IDs using the alias Gilligan Rich Rosner. Gilligan.
Who Wants To Be A Genius?
The event that catapulted Rick’s life into the spotlight happened on a show that was simultaneously spotlight and knowledge heavy. This show asked viewers if anyone in the crowd would perchance want to have a lot of money.
After numerous tries to get on the show, Rick was finally in the hot seat. He was sailing along on the questions and felt really good until a relatively easy-level question messed him up. He guessed according to his logic, and lost. He then sued the producers after sending three detailed letters to them explaining his case.
The question was: “What capital city is located at the highest altitude above sea level?” and the choices were:
A. Mexico City B. Quito
C. Bogotá D. Kathmandu
The reasons Rosner lays out in those letters are spot-on critiques of the semantics of the question and its relative difficulty compared to all other questions asked at that level, but he never got anywhere with his suit. A sample of his correspondence: “I’m sorry to keep sending you letters. I’m not a grievance-oriented person, but a little research led me to a surprising amount of information indicating that it is an unacceptably-flawed question.”
15 Minutes Late?
I do think Mr. Rosner has a strong love affair going with the celebrity dance. Aside from his appearances (often in the nude) on cable TV shows like The Man Show, Jimmy Kimmel and Crank Yankers, he’s also appeared on a show called Obsessed, and took jobs guaranteed to draw attention to himself. Clearly this is someone eager for the 15 minutes of fame he thinks he deserves, but I also see a real human being, one who is acting naturally to the stimuli. He also got steamed at Domino’s when they featured him in this commercial, somehow managing to spell his last name wrong in the graphics (Rossner).
Errol Morris’ First Person
Errol Morris (The Thin Blue Line, The Fog of War) created a show where he interviewed subjects through an “interrotron”, a “self-designed camera that allows the interview subject to see” Morris’ face transposed into the cameraface focused on them. First Person is one of the best interview shows I’ve ever seen, as it tends to elicit more truth than can be seen in other shows. Errol Morris on Rick Rosner:
I imagine he is a pretty complicated character who doesn’t understand himself that well. He’s in the grip of all this stuff that he cannot control.
The journey he has taken, along with all the Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? and other stories of Mr. Rosner can be seen in six parts on You Tube, starting here. Notice how Morris strings the facts into a collection, much like a weaver manipulates the strings.

He's not working out with any sort of fitness or physique goal in mind. His compulsions are manifestations of some psychological demon that he can't face. Sad stuff, man.
-
Guy definately has SEVERE OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE DISORDER............poss ibly Body Dysmorphia too.

holy shit, is nothing big enough for that guy? He obviously suffers from reverse anorexia

He needs to go on a cycle.

Smartest Guy in the World
We should put this guy in a ring with that world's smartest guy that MattC is always pimping, the genius bouncer guy, and let them swing away.

Well I want to get him to start posting here first. I think he will be an enjoyable character to add to the list of notables.

Well, he may be the smartest man in the world, but here at Getbig, with our resident brain trust, he's gonna have to sit on the bench. ;D

It's getting very cold here and what better way to warm up then with some Iberian Ham along with some garlic and chick peas. There's nothing better then throwing a log onto the fire and enjoying the hearty, savory taste of Iberian ham. If you've never had it, you don't know what you're missing. Exquisite.

Just watched all six episodes of the documentary. A very interesting guy. It's also interesting that he is a bouncer like the other super high IQ guy posted about here a year or two ago.
Still, he needs to let the Millionaire thing go.

If you can find the Obsessed series, it focuses solely on his workouts and gym habits.
I really want him to post here and I believe he will start soon...

He's a tricky guy. Hard to know what's real or made up about him. ;)
Here he is in a pizza comercial:

Here you go, try this out. Should be about an hour long or so. IT also features a woman who has to clean out her butthole with a toothbrush until she sees blood. :-\

Great. It would be fantastic to have the guy on here. Hope he gets all obsessive about posting and 'owning'. I notice that he threw a little 'gyno' barb in about the bouncer that stole his woman.

its a shame that hes greyd so much in the hair recently.. taking all those pills seems sensless, especially fat and carb blockers, the body needs those for energy. What one really needs is increased caloric/vitamin absorbability NOT BLOCKERS especialy if one is striving for recovery/repair and ENERGY , if you block fat and carbs where is the energy?
points i agree with him is that in the early videos he said he wanted to do good things with his "smarts" wich is certainly nobel
im suprised he held back fucking all them fine hoes in highschool
-
does he think his greying is due to lack of nutrient absorbtion , wich is possibly a negative affect from the "blocker" supplements
i believe greying is a marginal sign of malnutrition
this is because somethig that he is taking is obstructing or nullyfying the melanin production in hair

Maybe he stopped dying his hair ::)
-

He`s got hairplugs actually.
-
Maybe he stopped dying his hair ::)
it could be sudden onset of greying due to the supplementation
im not sure if he goes the route of dying his hair maybe you should ask him
-
He`s got hairplugs actually.
how do you know this forsure, i was in admiration of his noble hairline
many speculate only to condem, i am not one of those types, its not healthy behavior of someone intelligent. im hoping this is a natural effect of his supplementation and perhaps he has the knowledge to reverse this condition, or he may take my advice on the matter into consideration would be his safest bet

You can easily tell and he states that he has them in the Obsessive video.

yeah i did think his hair line was exceedingly low, this is one of the reasons why i stopped eating meat, i still have a decent hairline and has not receeded since being a vegetarian , but who knows what the future holds, i feel that heme-iron inflamatory factors of meat could obstruct some pathways in the body needed to vessel for hair growth and hair color and other uknown genetic factors
i would not like to find out one day that GOD was a DOG and be his meal and that the devil lived in order to teach us all a (lesson-no sell) in compassion ;D

Does he eat whore pussy?
;D

Interesting guy...It's a shame about the "Millionaire" situation...It's mighty pussy of them that they don't give the man (a certified 180-200 IQ) a chance to plead his case face-to-face or at least explain how they came to their conclusions...
I enjoyed watching the six-part Youtube video but when I got to the "Obsessed" video, I was disturbed...What a waste, quite sad...I rather have a beverage with this fella vs. Christopher Langen...Langen reminds me of an evil genius in a comic book...Scary guy.
Finally, he didn't workout 50 times per week until 2005...He's just hasn't missed a day of going to the gym since 1991...19 years..But still a sad feat.

O Cruel fete.
-
times gonna be rough and some of you will be driven to drink.
-
this is both sad and inspiring. Inspiring in a sad way. Not really hard to put into words. Totally fucked up my day for some wierd reason.
-
I actually just spoke with Rick on the phone. I am going to get him to join Getbig.
How do you know him?
I'd like to hear from him on this board, but this thread isn't exactly a great welcome party.

So is Rick Rossener the smart guy or the Obsessed workout guy? ???

I'm not sure you can trust everything he says. The obsessed video might be partly a stunt.

Even money on who TAdonis's new alter is going to be :D

A high IQ seems to only make you confused and complex. Not Efficient.
Like he said his goal is to live forever. Through working out and dieting he hope to extend his life until medical technologies will be enable radical life extension therapy or procedures. Then why not live normal and happily save enough money to pay for a cryo-sleep contract, which is available today. It kicks in when you die. You will be thawed out and revived when technology allows it to be done.
And this is if you believe this experience is all there is to begin with.
His spirit and soul has been forced out by his ultra high IQ.

eventually we will be able to look at our dna then find memories/experiences of our great great great ancestors and such, i think we may even be able to peer into our past through a memory embedded in dna and watch it like a movie in a theater

i just watched his documentary and this guy is way awesome
I honestly hope he posts here someday
