Meta-physical is a magnanimous soul, but, as his strident riposte demonstrates, patience and generosity have their limits. As a service to the board, a brief précis of Meta-physical's precise and elucidative point by point response might prove beneficial:
LOL! I think I prefer the brevity of the
précis. It just wouldn't be Getbig without the insults!
lol at Matt melting down because Basile said that Metaphysical is smarter haha lol.
Matt Canning in this thread:
Dear Matt,
You really have taken quite the meltdown! Satisfied as I am to simply observe, allow me to address each of your rambling paragraphs in turn, if for no other reason than to potentially cause another mental breakdown.
I have a four year Honour's (sic) degree in psychology in addition to my four year university degree in mathematics, so I quite know what I'm talking about. Or do I need to be a world expert on a topic in order to be able to intelligently discuss the culmination of 110 years of psychometric and cognitive testing, ALL of which arrives at the same conclusion?Congratulations, Matt, but I see no reason to challenge someone on grounds of their credentials; what I'm interested in is what they have to say, and whether their arguments seem correct or not. Your fulminations here can simply be disregarded on the basis that they are a product of the Dunning-Kruger effect, and don't even have the merit of being related to what I wrote. So far, all that your 'superior IQ' has managed to come up with is an irrelevant harangue and a series of strawman arguments that do not survive scrutiny. Let's explore:
You speak about petty violent behaviour as some innate human quality when in reality, any dumb mammal is capable of random violence. To produce a military that required 51 nation states and non-stop waves of men and machines to take it down is quite another matter.Incorrect. I asked an individual whether or not
he considered a
specific violent behaviour (the rape and mutilation of women and children) to be an example of a 'human capacity for violence that is ubiquitous', or if he believes that it's something unique to the African continent. Secondly, please note that if 'petty violent behaviour' is an innate human quality, and 'any dumb mammal is capable of random violence', then there’s no contradiction there. As for your last sentence, it is entirely unrelated to anything I wrote. 'Quite another matter' indeed.
As for your snide comment about Jordan Peterson...Incorrect again. Please quote any 'snide' comment made about Jordan Peterson. I stated that you went off on a tangent as you weren't able to rely on him to do your thinking for you. Your lengthy diatribe about transgenderism is therefore irrelevant and can be dismissed as the erratic ramblings of an autistic fool. Please try to focus.
In the words of Stefan Molyneux - not an argument. How about post something that shows you as being something less of a dumb fuck...Molyneux, in my opinion, is a mentally-ill conman from Canada, suffering from delusions of grandeur - much like yourself. I don't know of any academic who takes him seriously. Let's take this quote of his, for example: 'If we could just get people to be nice to their babies for five years straight, that would be it for war, drug abuse, addiction, promiscuity, sexually transmitted diseases, ... Almost all would be completely eliminated, because they all arise from dysfunctional early childhood experiences, which are all run by women' (Roy, 2014). Does this in any way challenge your views regarding race and the heritability of IQ? Also, please read the links below for further criticisms of Molyneux's work:

Please, tell me more about how a pack of Somalians knifing each other on street corners compares to an ethnic group that produced a military that took on the world - TWICE - and almost won!
Another strawman. I never once made the comparison. Please try to focus.
It's so annoying to continue to discuss this topic. You keep whining about Black lack of achievement and say "Well, if not for these 100 reasons, Blacks would be succeeding.Please cite one instance of me claiming this. Matt, you need to focus!
Instead, you don't give any evidence, and essentially spew out an argument in the form "But gosh darnit!! If only Blacks were given another $2 trillion in handouts by Whites, they would be just as successful!"
Again, please cite this alleged argument I made. I quite specifically stated that I accept the validity of IQ as a measurement of intelligence, and differences between gender and racial groups. I also stated that I agree with Charles Murray's point that the implications of this should be that we don't rush into welfare programs and education efforts to improve equality of outcome if it's far more likely to engender more inequality and undesirable outcomes rather than ameliorate them.
My IQ has been tested and retested for 17 years nowWhy? This merely highlights your obsession with numbers, stemming from your developmental disability.
You can't complete four years of university mathematics and win the wall full of mathematics awards and contests without having an IQ at or close to what I claim.LOL! A picture of your high school maths exam? Well done, Matt. You have every right to boast about this decades-old achievement!
Meta-physical does not have an IQ of 180-190. Anyone who ignores 110 years of intelligence testing that is COMPLETELY CONSISTENT around the positions that I have posted above is not that smart.
More fabrications, Matt. Are you beginning to realise that the claims you're making simply aren’t tenable? Again, please provide evidence of this - and try to focus!
I would LOVE Meta-physical to post his comments in a completely neutral YouTube setting, and watch his arguments get destroyed online. You have a YouTube channel. I've noticed that when you're around other people you become a timid and socially awkward wreck,with the posture of a boiled shrimp and the demeanour of a man subjected to a childhood full of bullying (see link below). It's obvious that the internet provides you with a confidence that escapes you in reality, so feel free to make a video where you read out my comments in this thread followed by the rebuttal you've posted.
That being said, he asked a nuanced and reasonable question, but I addressed it...So while you can point to atrocities from any race, you simply CANNOT prove that all races have produced as many geniuses as White people have. Not even close.No, you imagined a series of arguments in your own warped mind and addressed them instead. I never touched upon the subject of geniuses and race. Sorry, Matt, but Vince Goodrum has destroyed you simply by creating a platform for you to expose yourself as a deluded and ignorant little pinhead who lives vicariously through the achievements of others. I find your poor reading comprehension and critical thinking ability genuinely shocking. You lack any sense of modesty yet rely on others to tell you what to think, so you can spew out facts and statistics (as well as complete fabrications) without any framework of understanding. You failed to grasp what I wrote and chose instead to misrepresent my views so that you could attempt to demonstrate your self-professed intelligence. Unsurprisingly, you've failed. You have, however, done more to discredit the value of IQ than anyone else on this forum by revealing yourself to be perfidious and insecure half-wit, whose claim of intelligence rests solely on an above-average numeracy ability, acquired by virtue of a mental illness which makes you almost completely devoid of every other value. You have the ability and the personality of a calculator.
