What's your opinion on this? Jordan Peterson on IQ
OneMoreFarang replied to GammaGlobulin's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
If you would be genius smart, and you thought a lot and know a lot and like to spread your knowledge, who would you talk to? To smart people, who have a chance to understand what you think? Or would you try to explain to the mentally challenged things which they will likely not understand? I am sure in a one-on-one conversation with a patient Jordan will be able to explain something to a low IQ patient. But who would want to see him if he would address a room full of people as if they are all stupid? I remember he said he had a patient who he trained to fold letters and put them in envelopes. According to Jordan he spent many hours with that. And for that low IQ patient it was necessary, and he helped him. But imagine him spending 10 minutes with that in front of a big audience… -
Reliable KTM service in Bangkok?
OneMoreFarang replied to OneMoreFarang's topic in Motorcycles in Thailand
I contacted a manager of a KTM dealer who I knew from years ago. He gave me the contact details from an experienced KTM service technician who works now in another garage. He picked up my bike today. Let's see. -
"no p4p" Does that mean no girlfriend of wife? I think in general a reasonable Thai girlfriend helps to save money in Thailand. She will know where the market is, fruits of the season, and many such details. Obviously a farang can learn such things. But it will take a long time and it will be a lot easier with a girlfriend together.

So it seems you are looking for a free app which has access to your bank account(s). Somehow I am not so sure that is a good idea.

Reliable KTM service in Bangkok?
OneMoreFarang replied to OneMoreFarang's topic in Motorcycles in Thailand
Sure, I googled it. I was in the Rama 5 place a couple of years ago for one service. I was not impressed. One thing I remember is that they wanted to use cheap engine oil. I asked them: What oil is recommended in the service manual? Why don't you use that? It seems that confused them that someone would want to spend more than 200B on oil... -

IMHO they are often more exotic. Sometimes when I see a good looking celebrity in the news, I look up "where she comes from". Many are a mix. Chanel Iman is one of my favorites. -

I agree. And personally, I am definitely multi racial. I had "white" western girlfriends. Then later a dark brown girlfriend from Brazil and then Buriram brown girlfriends in Thailand. All relatively short and thin and cute. -

I like a lot of what he does. There is also some which I don't like, like his religious videos. I saw mostly interviews from him when he interviewed interesting people. He asks questions, listens, and he adds his own (educated) thoughts. I think there is nothing wrong with that. After he spoke out against the (at that time proposed) new law in Canada he got a lot more media attention. He is often invited as a controversial guest. It's no surprise that that is controversial. I am sure he is not only interested in people with IQ over 120. But listening to him people below that IQ level will have often problems to follow his thoughts and what he says. I don't blame him for not dumbing down what he says. He also spent time as clinical psychologist with below average IQ people, and he helped them. He is not perfect, but he has definitely many interesting thoughts which are worth listening to. This is one of those fascinating conversations I listened to. -

Really? What about hair color? And maybe size? If I offer a job and I wouldn't employ a 180cm women with white skin and red hair, then that might be racist. But if I don't want to have someone like that as girlfriend because I prefer cute brown Buriram style, that is just my preference. Most of us have preferences about who we want to date. That doesn't make us racist. -
Reliable KTM service in Bangkok?

A mechanic does mechanic work. The "problem" with the KTM Duke 390 is that a lot of things are electronic, i.e. electronic throttle control. The warning light might be a defect sensor or cable connection, or even a software problem. KTM uses computers to analyze such problems. At least if they have competent people in the shop. -

Yeah, sure, maybe in whatever world you occupy. Please send us a link from a reliable source with that information. -
You wrote: "A perfect example of name and shame being effective is the publication of photos showing Senator Pornthip rolling around endangered moss on here Icelandic trip (https://www.government.is/topics/environment-climate-and-nature-protection/national-parks-and-protected-areas/) Any credibility she once had is gone, girl, gone. 555" Do you think she know that the moss is endangered? Personally I have to admit I didn't know that there is something like "endangered moss". And according to you, because she didn't respect that moss, you write "Any credibility she once had is gone, girl, gone. 555" So it seems that you think that anybody who doesn't know or care about endangered moss lost credibility. Is that only the case when people doesn't know or care about endangered moss? Or is any wrongdoing, including speeding, a reason to think all credibility is gone?

The spectrum is very wide. Maybe you can say that Chinese or Japanese are in average more intelligent than maybe Europeans (maybe, I don't know). But by how much? Let's say it's 5%, which would be a lot. Then you still have a huge overlap of over average Europeans which are more intelligent than under average Chinese. So, any individual which we meet from any location or race might have a higher or lower IQ than us. -

Jordan is very intelligent (>150), and he studied and worked in psychology for decades. Nobody of us knows even 1% of what he knows. What's the point of us arguing about what he says. It's like arguing with Elon Musk how to optimize his rockets. Who wants to tell him how to make it better? -

Looks nice. And I am sure it took a long time to create this great picture. I am always looking forward to Loy Krathong in Thailand in the nightlife areas. It is amazing how good many of them look if they spend hours for makeup, hair, clothes, etc. Then add a photographer, lots of light, etc. and you can make great pictures with almost anybody. -

Charge 5000 THB per visitor per day. That should keep the masses away.
