  1. It is true. I did badly in school, but when i did an IQ test last year, it said my result was in the top 95% of all people. I couldnt believe it. I always thought that i was stupid, and a lot of people would ask me if i had been diagnosed with some kind of retardation. But not at all. I am actually very clever even though most of the time i seem to be very, very stupid. Maybe i should apply to Cambridge!

  2. Isn't the British University system now wholy dependant on full fees paying foreign students, mainly ones from Communist China ? Like everything else in Britain, it got sold off to foreigners under Tories and Labour

  3. I'll never forget that time Jason Arday became the first person to hang glide to Mars and back in one day. Apparently on his way there, his head was severed by a meteor, but that didnt stop him. He invented a way of reattaching heads while out in space and was awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine for his work when he got back.

  4. There is a fine line between genious and madness. It is also a fact that many people who consider themselves to be 'intellectuals' are not street-wise. They are gullible, lacking 'nous' and therefore vulnerable to fashionable trends.

  5. From what I understand, he leaned into the philosophical side of sociology. which especially capable of intellectual insincerity.

    Anyone can write a philosophical thesis. But the susceptiblity of Cambridge seems to be pride, i.e. he took advantage of their pride in DEI. Thus they never really applied intellectual rigor to his philosophical analysis. It is obvious he is no Ludwig Wittgenstein.

  6. I hope the students sue! "As our education systems are now anything but, with safe spaces, trigger warnings an little teaching going on. Critical thinking should be key, not the Marxist dogma we currently see. Students should be taught how and not what to think, so their minds are opened to experiences new, fully enabled to question and challenge so they can come to their own points of view. Not indoctrinated into narrow-minded ideologies, beliefs or partisan positions leading to the pluralistic ignorance so distinctive within herd mentalities, making them BAAAAAHH like the sheep that they are!"
