[Video] - Teddy Bear goes up to space, then drops down to Earth

[sbfuncle]

My IQ is pretty amazing too but not sufficiently high to rule out the possibility that the earth is actually flat. The flat earth theory is like the wuhan lab theory ie a conspiracy until proven otherwise.

I shall give you the benefit of doubts based on your postings.
Usually I will say or ask.
Have you done it before saying it.
As I always mentioned, we cannot say we are good looking, unless different groups of people not knowing one another had said it.
Same for iq or aptitude test.
We have to do it in order to claim it honestly.

As for how I deduced the flat earth, I excluded all other things that we wouldn't be able to deduce based on our own researching.
So I jumped to the simplest form of the edge for an answer.

I've probably dropped a few points due to ageing but in my prime the IQ tests I did put me in the 130 to 140 range.... a far cry from being a genius but sufficiently high to indicate that I'm not exactly dumb.

However an IQ in this range is not exactly an asset. I find that my dumber friends are a lot happier than I am. I'm smart enough to understand things but not smart enough to offer any solutions or to work out complex issues on my own.

I think age (unless is really old age) will not affect directly an IQ test unless is a time constraint one. Perhaps by just a little like you said a few points.
I have done both a iq test and aptitude test during my younger days.
The aptitude test was actually more stressful than the iq one due to the volumes with 500 questions for an hour timeframe.
I would also think my point will drop alittle by now.
I have forgotten my score, only remember it was on the top range.

Should we have a sbf iq test to separate the stupid and intelligent members by tag?

Having a good iq does not always end with better outcomes.
My iq was always higher than my superiors and due to this I was always pressed down at work.
And to make thing worse, I always beat them down and ended with bad appraisals. The result is jumping from one company to another throughout my 30 years of employment.

I'm not business trained so I avoid being an entrepreneur.

However I applied it elsewhere to build wealth whenever I can find and able to retire early in the context of sg retirement statistic.
Not many people in this planet earning an average of sgd4k per mth in his lifetime can have this wealth of mine at 55 if they did not strike the lottery.

And of course all these sounds boastful. I'm merely stating facts and only here in sbf not outside of it.

That does not sound like a statement from someone with a high IQ. It's one of the dumbest statements I've seen coming from you in this forum.

Nobody can "train" to be an entrepreneur and there is not a course in the world that can teach you to create a successful business.

Business courses in tertiary institutions provide the groundwork regarding how to administer a business which is a far cry from being an actual businessman.

Lol OK used a wrong word or sentence.
Allow me to make some redemption.
I have declared my English is not that good in the first place.
I'm not willing to take risk into any business venture. Many business man learn as they do and I take it as "trained"
Some suffer losses while some make it.
My defence character is so strong that I confirm myself a failure in the business world .
There is zero chance for me to fall into any scams for being defensive.
I only do attacks when opportunities arises that is not related to a business.
The things I have gained from all my attacks are the ones that brought me half the wealth I'm having now from my past miserable employment income.
And I'm currently still attacking (but in much smaller form) even I'm not employed.

My take is that smart, well educated individuals usually have sufficient earning potential to not want to risk running a business. I was in that category in the early stages of my career. The majority of Singaporeans of my generation were in the same boat. The PAP did a fantastic job creating high paying jobs and this stifled the entrepreneurial spirit of the country.

It's only after my career went to shit that I decided that I need to try making my own money instead of earning a salary. Was in the red to tune of about USD70,000 before things turned around and I started actually making a profit.

My biggest regret in life is that I didn't start earlier as I had numerous opportunities but did not want to risk it because my salary at the time was too good to be true.

Agree that many sporeans are actually drawing very good salary and doesn't want to risk venturing out. Some of the very stupid people I know of (the old farts) are also drawing good salary. They do it by sticking to the same company their entire life and plp their way up through seniority.
I even personally know one marcik who doesn't know how to use paynow and hitch ride app working in a senior position in a technology post. She is well protected by the HR indirectly or directly adhering to pap employment protection scheme.
I always believe the never ending discussions and complaints about Ft stealing sinkie jobs only applies to minority of sporeans and the poorer performers. When it happens to the real good ones (mostly due to business restructuring or shutting down) , they usually can find another same or even higher paying job. Most of the time they either be poached by a competitor or jump ship themselves for better prospects.

I think the problem with many sinkies is they doesn't know how to handle their wealth properly. While earning the good salary , they splurge it all in many different ways.

And the income disparity among different jobs are simply too wide in sg. This needs to be reviewed by pap urgently. Top priority to close this gap.

Nothing wrong with large income disparity. It gives the low income earners something to aspire towards. If there was only a small difference between bottom, middle and top rungs what's the point of striving hard?

The problem is not everyone needs to strive hard to be paid high salary.
Measures need to be in placed to separate the leechers and the well deserves. And sadly there are more leechers than well deserves.

I propose at least a kind of aptitude test to justify the salary paid.
Yearly appraisals cannot fix this problem due to the employment protection scheme and internal match fixings.

This problem exists in many countries. NZ and OZ are no different. Can't be fixed it's just part and parcel of life. However those who want to get ahead can always do so provided they stop moaning and start taking actual steps to achieve their aspirations.

It may exist round the world but in sg the income disparity problem has more impact and more visible due to the high cost of living.

Put me in charge and I will make sure everyone gets what they deserve.

.... and what annual salary do you think you'd "deserve" for doing this job?

This is not a easy job at all.
It will cover many areas of work
I will need to convince the ceos of every damn company in sg but I will roll it out to the public sector first with the support of pap.
And I'm very sure the ministers and ceos will be very impressed with the final outcome.

It is not possible for me to go company by company for my presentation. Hence I will need to make annoucement over the medias and do a online presentation of my proposals.

I will sub out the creation of aptitude test to another company. The aptitude test alone is a big project. It will need to tailor make for every salary scale.

I will not demand an annual salary but instead a project salary of sgd100mil at least. Becos after it is rolled out successfully, I will step down from my post.
This is a astronomical amount to me but chicken feet to the combination of every damn company, considering the amount of $ they could save later on.
I foresee this project will take a year or so to rollout to the red dot.

It is a definitive NOT easy job that you are embarking upon.

The insignificant nobody have little idea on what you are talking about with the scarce details, but that is fine, as you may wish the details be scarce so that it may not be stolen by unscrupulous others, an idea & concept that may lift lives which leaves none or most behind, more so to corporations & political leaders, as their posts or political survival is dependent on the majority.

No idea is a bad idea. It is just how it is expounded upon, eg test marketing, sharing new concepts with others within CLOSED & intellectual groups, as well as a sample of such to the common laymen first, not just those whom agrees with you, but ESPECIALLY those whom disagree with you & NOTE down their criticisms - as such WILL show loopholes within your own perceptions, as no mortal is perfect, to acknowledge, correct, persevere & so as to improve upon your work to assure CRITICAL skeptical others even before they can reflect upon at the time of your presentations in front of VIPs, & even further than you alone can imagine for the success you seek...

Major & even many small independent movie studios laffed at George Lucas Star Wars movie when he sought for funding for his movie, despite even his successful previous achievements in such industry. One studio did believed in him, & along with his own hard earned personal funds, mgmt change, edits, etc, to correct mistakes so as to improve better, Star Wars became an ICONIC franchise that spurned sequels & made its investors wealthy beyond their imagination not just for years, but decades.

Many more such SUCCESSFUL stories even in the financial & political fields that is not just about money, in the history of Humanity's progress & Civilization, such as the birth of poverty & lowly educated Singaporeans at our Independence & yet under courageous & intelligent leadership, turned Singapore into what it is today.

It is about perseverance, dedication to DETAILS, & EVERY form of hardwork/intelligence to turn dreams into reality despite the odds....

I wish you all the best
