Tucker Carlson drops a massive bombshell. He exposes how the Zionist regime secretly armed perpetrators of the horrific Rwandan genocide. He confirms Israeli courts sealed classified documents to cover up their complicity. The establishment hides these massive crimes!

@Devon_Eriksen_ this is pedantic psudointellectual babble. An IQ test is not just one question, but recognizing the *most obvious* pattern shown by these triangles is a good way to hone in on someone who falls between the 80-90 IQ range (for example). No intelligent person isn't saying 72

Devon Eriksen@Devon_Eriksen_·
This is why IQ tests don't work too well on really smart people. Because sorta smart people tend to give the expected answer. And really smart people tend to point out that the question is wrong, and start arguing with the test, or trying to correct it, thereby making the test impossible to grade and annoying everyone. The expected answer to this is 72. Because 2*2*2 = 8 and 5*5*2 = 50, so 6*6*2 = 72. But the (really) correct answer is "I don't know." Because what you have is two points on a 3 dimensional graph (x,y) -> z. z = 2*x*y is one surface that can be drawn through these two points. And I suspect it's the simplest formula for a surface that can be so drawn, although I haven't bothered to check. But an infinite number of contiguous surfaces can be drawn in three dimensions that encompass these points (2,2,8) and (5,5,50). Each of these surfaces can be described by its own formula. Some of them will also touch (6,6,72). But others of them will touch (6,6, {something else entirely}) instead. This might sound really, really pedantic. But it's not. Everyone knows that the expected answer is the simple one, but that's only on a test... a fake artificial made up problem. When we start trying to do this in the real world, which, after all is what this "IQ" thing is actually for, then using the same kind of "IQ test thinking" can get you in trouble. "My 3-month-old son is now TWICE as big as when he was born. He's on track to weigh 7.5 trillion pounds by age 10." -@pronounced_kyle Fitting the simplest-formula curve, as opposed to the correct curve, makes our predictions of real-world stuff dead wrong. So this kind of test question promotes a dangerous habit of thought. But, Devon, I hear some of you ask, doesn't the principle of Occam's Razor demand that we fit the simplest curve? No. No, it does not. It does not require that we select the simplest possible answer, given what we have currently seen. It requires that we prefer hypotheses that make fewer assumption to those that make more. These are two different things entirely. If I see one black sheep, the simplest hypothesis is that all sheep are black. The hypothesis requiring the fewest assumptions is that at least one sheep is black on at least one side. You will note which of these is correct. All of this is, of course, irrelevant to questions on IQ test. But questions on an IQ test only matter as much as they are relevant to the actual universe... Where ideas like this are very relevant indeed.

Fradd’s right, this is the dividing line. It determines whether one is willing to suffer everything for Christ or sell him out for 30 pieces of silver. Fradd may have already taken his portion, but I am unwilling to bend the knee before people who hate my Lord.

What a happy accident that every biblical instruction to women was just cultural, and now perfectly aligns with feminism!

How long will this behavior be tolerated by the Christian Nationalist sect within the PCA? This kind of stuff is in their comment section fairly regularly. I never see it corrected. I never see it contested. Why not?

@ZacharyGarris was found guilty of unwholesome talk, so why are they all avowing him?”

At trial, the Rio Grande Presbytery (PCA) found Rev. Zachary Garris NOT GUILTY of Charge 1 regarding his comments on slavery from June 2024. However, Garris was found GUILTY of Charge 2 for “unwholesome speech” per Ephesians 4:29, based on a 2023 interaction on X with Anthony Bradley. The Presbytery has indefinitely suspended him.

I'm appalled by the Rio Grande Presbytery. They've just undermined the credibility of all future cases involving genuine charges of unwholesome speech & dealt a blow to the integrity of Presbyterian courts, all b/c @ZacharyGarris is a conservative Westminster guy & they aren't.

I'd like to congratulate the PCA's Rio Grande Presbytery for proving virtually all of the critics right. You can't trust the PCA courts. They are apparently populated by the worst kinds of effeminate schoolmarms and HR Karens imaginable. What an embarrassment.

The longest reigning prophet in LDS history taught that Adam, from the Garden of Eden was actually the Heavenly Father, and he is the only God with whom the Mormons have anything to do. He taught this for decades. The LDS church printed hymnals and sang praise songs to Adam-god well into the 1900s. He also taught that the Heavenly Father came down from heaven in a body of flesh and blood and had sex with the Virgin Mary, his daughter,...committing celestial incest, to produce Jesus. Mormonism started as pagan sex cult and built itself into a whitewashed tomb but it is full of dead men's bones (false teachings).

@irishpresby The PCA did not disavow or suspend Greg Johnson who identified as a gay Christian. Yet Zachary Garris is suspended for unwholesome words. Make it make sense.
