Vox Day

Best post from Vox I've seen in awhile. Wish he would do more of this content and less pearl clutching about Neil Gaiman's sex life.

The Minestrippers - Vox Popoli

It’s not just big established companies that are being managed into irrelevance and eventual extinction. A good article on the “mismanagerial class” doesn’t quite get down to the roots of the structural problem with the US corpocracy: The problem of companies being enthusiastically managed into...

America has basically become a get rich quick society -- work little but get paid a lot. That mentality is starting to permeate every facet of the business world. It's even seeped into the religious sphere and we see it with megachurches.

Powerful statement from Vox today at the end of a post titled "Migration = Homelessness":

"And if you don’t think migration causes homelessness, ask yourself where all those Indians who provided the names to the towns in your area are living… but it’s the Americans and the British who are the Indians now."

I followed Vox Day for several months in 2019 when he was doing Unauthorized TV with Owen Benjamin, but I got tired of him talking about his alleged 150 IQ. The last straw for me was when he went on this spergy tirade saying that because he was so much smarter than everyone else that we all sounded like animals to him. He actually made weird noises on air to let his video audience know what he thought they were.

When I heard later that he couldn't give up on Q-anon I knew I'd saved myself some watching time. Things are complicated but no one with a properly functioning 150 brain could take Q seriously, especially someone already familiar with all the conspiracy theories and how they can get out of hand.

He'd injured his knee playing soccer around that time and I wondered if maybe he was taking pain meds that were messing with him. Either that or Owen's flat earth influence scrambled his noggin for a while.

Imagine being as experienced as he was and believing in Q for more than 150 seconds.

Only 150? I thought, by the way he hinted at it, he was 160 or 170, basically an IQ only calculable from specific tests designed for the very high IQ. If I want to read or hear someone who is high IQ there's always Chris Langan, otherwise why bother?

I was watching both Owen Benjamin and Vox Day for several months in the second half of 2019 when they each said they were 150 IQ. I remember people asking Vox about the IQ thing and he posted links to sites where you could plug in your scores from SAT or ASVAB / military entrance and get a match to your IQ.

At the end of the day IQ is like target practice. It's done in a low-pressure setting with no one shooting back at you. While you can be perfect on the range with paper targets, if you wet your pants in combat and shoot high and right every time, like believing in Q-anon for years longer than you should, then your alleged IQ doesn't really matter.
