With Christmas eve, the beginning of the celebration of the Birth of Jesus Christ par excellence, but also a multitude of other analogous anniversaries per Religion these days, in the preparations for the big celebration we are giving you our first present.
Regarding many Citizens of many states it is said that assorted researches by scientists have beyond doubt certified the lack of ability, intelligence, diligence, etc of that People. These ‘researches’ are always criminally and unethically generalized for all the populations, fraught with methodological errors, omissions and ignorance, and also, in the best cases, use questionable or old research tools which either do not measure what they profess to be measuring (lack of validity) or they cannot provide stable and consistent objective measurements, presented a different view every time (lack of reliability).
This kind of researches which seek to categorize whole populations are ethically and scientifically but also anthropologically faulty because they ignore and do not take into consideration basic principles of psychology, sociology and of the scientific research methodology which has repeatedly proven that intelligence is neither a racial nor a national/ cultural asset, cannot be measured by the classic intelligence tests of the Stanford-Binet/ WISC type and so on. The manifestation of the level of intelligence of Humans regardless of socioeconomic class and culture fluctuates and is directly affected by the conditions of measurement, the way of measurement and the familiarity of the subject with the logic that the researcher is following as well as that of the tool he/she is using.
It is very easy for an unethical, criminal ‘scientist’ to measure and ‘scientifically’ prove that anyone is either a genius or mentally retarded at any exact same given moment, and at will. That which that ‘scientist’ will use to manage that is the same logic and methodology that the brain/ mind of all without exception Humans globally follows for the learning of all kinds: learning takes place with calm and a sense of security, is methodologically slow or little in scope of material when someone is first introduced to an object of learning, and accelerates with geometric progression in absorbance and breadth/ scope of material, as the brain familiarizes with the nature of the object/field it is learning about.
Therefore if a scientist wants to prove that the person or the team he/she is examining is brilliant, he/she will present the material and perform his/her checks according to and respecting the methodology and functioning of the brain regarding learning, while if he/she wants to present that same person or group as unfit to learn or of low intelligence/ with learning difficulties, he/she will present the material and perform his/her checks in such a way that the normal learning process of the brain cannot take place: as it has been blatantly pointed out regarding the new school textbooks in all classes of Greece’s schools, the material will be threatening or intimidating, there will be a huge amount of material in the beginning, it will be presented to the learner without a logical consistency, without a relevance to reality or everyday life, with symbols/ representations/ examples that they themselves need to be first learned, it will be in excerpts or fragmented and will demand the same competence from the beginner level person as that of the one who has studied in a university level depth and for many years. Any person exposed to that sort of abuse will not be able to learn and will be characterized as having learning difficulties and/or low intelligence.
That happens in the so called intelligence tests as well as they primarily burden the person with the stress of performance and evaluation on a torturous level (since the person is forced to deal with the possibility that he/she will be stigmatized and excluded from the group he/she belongs to) and that which is required for correct answering does not take into consideration personal preferences, culture, socioeconomic level. Also, the manner of explaining/ presented the problems inspires fear as it is not familiar or it is associated with the concept of exams, which inspires fear in many people, students or ex-students. Also, many times the ‘smart’ answer is a puzzle/ brain-twister trap which has nothing to do with intelligence and everything to do with the level of training for solving such problems-brain twisters, which often just reflect that which the writer/designer of the intelligence test considers clever, taking as a measure that which the writer/designer can’t him/herself solve.
Therefore parents, students, university students, professionals: never let any such procedure, school/university or professional/ researching, ever convince you about your intelligence, that of your family, your area, your race, your nation, our world. The only thing every such measurement proves one more time is the mal-intent and unintelligent trap of some people or the foolishness/ low intelligence of even more who try to convince others that these others are fools while they are smart. Nature, part of which Humans are, measures intelligence by the capacity for survival of every animal. Therefore, the most intelligent people on the planet are those who manage to survive and function when the laws, the state, corruption, lack of meritocracy and all other procedures of the rigged game shut off funds and/or ways they are entitled to and which are of vital importance. The most idiotic people on the planet are those who have at their immediate disposal de fact unlimited funds, room to experiment, tolerance, consultants, arcane knowledge (scientific and social), capacities of avoidance/ trespassing of the law and still they dreadfully fail in their goals but also in the cover-up/ presentation of their profile in a positive light.
Especially to Greeks, who have historically been betrayed, undermined, sold out, deluded, slandered and who have had their wealth (land, subsoil, historic, productive, reserve, cultural), deserve to be told how developed their intelligence is, at the level of the top 5% (along with specific other Nations), not because of their race or genes but due to their determination not to allow themselves to be uneducated, homeless and at the mercy of everyone, and have managed it even now that they are the most thievingly taxed in Europe, to have a better level of living and strive for more demands for quality of life and education despite that their available funds has been artificially been rendered very low. It is therefore natural that a People who has been presenting this profile for centuries and on a worldwide level, to be under attacks attempting to break not the behavior, at this point, but the concept from which it stems, i.e. “I am able, so I will do it.”
Returning to the festivity of these days but also staying on our subject we can safely say, based on the above, that the most intelligent Human historically recorded was/is Jesus Christ, since while he was born in a social position with no potential and no promise for self-promotion or promotion of his teaching, he managed in three years to achieve that which others, born in the classes from where the teachings were given and enforced never managed in a lifetime: his name and his original teaching exists and has been applied despite the attacks, distortions and persecution of all kids of sacerdocy, secular or not (including the ‘christian’ ones) for 2000 years and shows no signs of the same not being able to be said when 3000 years are past.
With this, let us close 2008 and let us prepare for a new beginning, where we will see and recognize intelligence where it truly exists.
Merry Christmas (or Merry Holidays) and a clearer/ more understandable and therefore happier New Year.
