IQ check at the door before entering...

I was so overwhelmed with joy yesterday when the individuals of NHL:1 veritably showed a hint of intellect and held an entertaining conversation on, of all topics, hockey. I was even more impressed with the likes of Cck2ca, Northerncutie, and Thornton_19_Ca.

Cck2ca and I spoke of Isaac Newton and the Newtonian Revolution for over an hour. Northerncutie and I spoke a little of Galileo Galilei / The New Science... and her interest in Astronomy and Physics.
Thornton_19_ca and I squabbled for a few about Charles Darwin, and the theory of Evolution... that is, before he had to go clean his room.

Then, sadly to say, my wife smacks me on the head with a Maxim magazine and says "you would probably be more comfortable sleeping on the bed." See, I had fallen asleep behind the computer. Yes, I was dreaming of NHL:1 chatters actually showing signs of intelligence. I was so disappointed in that dream, that as I walked out of the computer room, and into the elevator that would take me up to the bedroom, I punched the wall. I was also embarrassed that I pulled an Obi Wan Weiss and fell asleep while in chat. But if you knew my schedule, you would totally understand. So off to bed I went, wondering again... if, when, what, why,who, how... most members of NHL:1 would ever make it through life.

Okay, a good nights rest, a 6 mile run, shower, breakfast, a few of business calls and now a couple of hours posting my thoughts and suggestions.

Lets's first talk about intelligence. There are many definitions of intelligence but the quote I like best is:

"A global concept that involves an individual's ability to act purposefully, think rationally, and deal effectively with the environment."

I imagine by now I've lost a few chatters. Those of you that are still with me, PM your friends, tell them it's okay to come back. I'll make this as easy and painless as possible.

So...your opinion on the above...who in NHL:1 resembles that quote? In my years, I have seen 100's of chatters come and go. There are a few smart cookies to have blessed the room with their presence... Mounta_00, Not2visible_31, Ninetythreerookieoftheyear, Sherry_Berry27, Land of the Shire, Superhero_Fighting_Stupidity...Sharkfan_in559. Their IQ's hover in the 140's and it repeatedly shows while in the room. Fact is though, the so called "sonners" show intelligence far greater than any other individuals to have entered NHL:1, let alone the states and provinces they reside in. There isn't a topic they don't have a response to. No question goes unanswered with these individuals present. If you don't believe me, try this... ask a question of Modern Anthropology... Quantum Mechanics...the Structure of DNA... X-ray Crystallography... the Binomial Nomenclature... the list is endless. If you don't get the correct answer, they're posing as a "sonner" and is just one of those that we will call "a lofty aspirant". Those mentioned in this paragraph fit nicely into that quote above.

Anyway, below is a bit of information I put together for you. Take a minute to look it over and ask yourself where you currently fit in. Then ask yourself where would you like to be. I then will tell some of you where you are, based on what I've seen. I will then tell you where I think some of you could be, where some of you should be, and where some of you will always be.

The average IQ score is 100. The standard deviation of IQ scores is 15. So, this means:

A) 50% of people have IQ scores between 90 and 110
B) 2.5% of people are very superior in intelligence (over 130)
C) 2.5% of people are mentally deficient / impaired / retarded (under 70)
D) 0.5% of people are near genius or genius (over 140)

Okay, with a raise of a hand, how many of you lied to yourselves? Probably 85% of you. Because 85% of you fit into the deficient / impaired / and retarded bracket but won't admit it. Seems like every quarter it goes up .05%. People, this has got to stop. What are we going to do to bring up your score? We'll get to that in a few.

What I want to do is label the categories A - B - C - D and place your names next to the appropriate category.

"A" list -
Evilgigs, Jerzzzey, Verucagirl21, Citygirl0117, Canucks_girl44, Islesrgreat17, Alexovechkin8_2009,

"B" list -
Vicesandhabits, Lotusblossum, Briereyote, Talker_a_Talker, Jockoredwing53, Oz_santwyk, Julyladybug16

"C" list - All chat scrap not mentioned on A -B- D

"D" list -
Land of the Shire, Sharkfan_in559, Sherry_Berry27, ninetythreerookieoftheyear, Not2Visible_31, Mounta_00, Superhero_Fighting_Stupidity

Just to prove to yourselves most of you are lying, try taking a test via the link below:

I know, many of you are thinking I'm as crazy as Linda, Kate, and Bradshaw combined. At times I may very well be. At times we are all a bit crazy, but that's a whole separate topic. We can talk of the mind altering drugs and therapy involved on that subject at a later date.

What are we going to do to get the Thorntons, Lindas, CCks, Nhlphis off the deficient list? How about Northerncutie, Dana Priddy, Hotshotchamp, and Heather off the impaired list? Worse yet, the Ripstics, FireRescues, Chelles, and Spliffs off the retarded list. Some have done a good job by limiting their chat hours. I've noticed dramatic cut-backs in Heather, Fire, and Chelle. I'm hoping that they're using that extra time wisely reading books and listening to motivational tapes. Northerncutie, Dana Priddy, Ripstic, Hotshotchamp, they spend time in the room... usually under ID's not recognized by the normal chatter. They're in for reasons that I can at least say I'm somewhat proud of. They do converse with the elite. They do ask questions, they do take notes, and they do show signs of improvement each and every time I visit with them.

As far as Linda, Thornton, Cck2ca, Nhlphi go, all I can suggest is leaving chat for 6 months. There is to be no lurking, no PM'S, no communication with Yahoo, MSN, AIM whatsoever. You 4 by far have the biggest issues in NHL:1. Thornton can win every negative category hands down. He's on his way to his 2nd victory in as many polls that he has been nominated for. Linda goes ballistic on every chatter for no apparent reason... well no logical reason anyway. She is obviously going through a rough time in her life but is too STUPID to see what 21 hours of chat a day is doing to her. Brain power and energy are being wasted in chat Linda, take a break.Get an education... you're not getting any younger, only dumber by hanging out with the crowd you do. Cck2ca, Nhlphi... good luck to you. Read, read, read... I can't say it enough. Even if it's on one subject only. I'd rather you 2 learn a little of something of 1 subject than trying to take on too many topics and learn nothing. You 2 alone when entering NHL:1 drop the IQ considerably. May I suggest a book to the 4 of you that I personally enjoyed reading, and have been told likewise by others. It is titled:

The 10 Natural Laws of Successful Time and Life management... Proven Strategies for Increased Productivity and Inner Peace.

"If you truly want to manage change and make the days and decisions of your life count, this is your owners manual"

Read, read, read people. Ask questions from the above mentioned geniuses. No one has to stay in the category they're in now.

With my next post I will match up a "chatter" with one of the "Scientific 100" also known as The 100 Most Influential Scientists, past and present. For Example: Bels Belfour could be matched up with Louis Pasteur and his works... Germ Theory of Disease. Linda could be matched up with Sigmund Freud and read Psychology of the Unconscious or Kate with William Herschel and the Discovery of the Heavens. Each will have an Influential Scientist to study. In 3 months we will get together and share everything that we have learned. Those that pass the "test" will be given a new Scientist to study. Those that fail, will be re-tested in 30 days. Those that fail a second time must make a promise to leave chat for 3 months. A 3rd failed exam and the chatter must promise never to enter NHL:1 again. Chat scrap must be eliminated!

Okay, my 2 hours are up here. If at any time you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask. I check my blog daily. I respond to serious requests only. And of course, don't forget your neighborhood "sonner"... approach them with respect and love and they will be more than happy to work with you. Disrespect them, and... let's just say I can't be held responsible for what happens next.

Happy reading to all!

We'll talk soon.
