Can you all make the leap from measures of intelligence being fake to intelligence being inherently a false concept please

Everyone wants there to be an innate level of smartness so they can say "well actually I'm the real kind of smart" fuck off no one's smart. Have any of you talked to real scientists? I could name you five engineers I know that I know for sure don't know how to hit a bong properly

Song genres in that sci-fi folk song book I want to make someday.

The colonization eras:

  • Space is awful
  • Being homesick is awful
  • Working is awful but it’s okay because someday we’ll die
  • I hate the government and here’s why
  • I’m dying and I’m sad about it
  • I’m dying and I’m happy about it
  • People died (tragic)
  • People died (humorous)
  • Oh look, ghosts

Songs about aliens:

  • Hey get a load of this alien
  • Hey get a load of this alien that I’m in love with
  • Help I’ve been bamboozled by an alien
  • I want to engage in metaphors but I can’t tell if this alien understands my metaphors or not
  • This alien wants to engage in metaphors but I have no idea what those metaphors mean, although I can really, really hope
  • I thought this was a good metaphor but it’s actually a bad one (subgenre: tell’em I died doing what I loved)
  • Hey guess what happens when you engage in metaphors

This post is what got me to start feeling like I was ‘allowed’ to just start wholesale inventing species and I want to thank OP for this it has enriched my world-building so much.

This is the living proof that white supremacy is an international system that tries not only to normalize its’ own values and make it dominant in the world but also tries to marginalize everything that doesn’t fit preferences of white supremacists. That’s how you can easily spot them – they don’t like unfamiliar and unaccustomed names, words, looks and call it “strange”, “confusing”, “not normal” and so on.

The British Museum has within its halls some of the greatest works of art in the world. The British stole nearly all of them, and won’t return the ones whose home nations have asked for them back.

Never respect thieves.

Me: -so after it became apparent that ‘retarded’ had become a term of abuse, educators and psychiatrists switched to other terms like ‘handicapped’ or ‘special needs’ in an attempt to -

George Orwell, whom I’ve dragged forward in time with my arcane powers because I’m lonely and want someone to talk to: You have a telephone in your pocket?  It listens to you all the time?

Me: Never mind about that, the point is, young people now mock each other by sending the wheelchair emoji - that’s a type of electronic heiroglyph - to suggest mental deficiency and shout SPESHUL!!!! while doing offensive imitations of disabled facial expressions and posture.  So any attempt to lexographically make crimethink impossible is pretty much doomed because the meaning of words in everyday conversation can’t be controlled by a dictionary entry, no matter how many Ministry of Truth employees-

Orwell: It reports your location to the telephone company at all times?

A teenage immigrant boy comes home from school.

His mother asks him “How were your classes today?”

“Today we had sex education mama”

Shocked his mother replies. “What?! You go to your room and wait till your father comes home. He’s going to have stern words with you.”

When the father comes home and learns about his sons class he replies. “This isn’t the old country, people are more liberal here, don’t worry. This should be good for him.”

Feeling bad she goes upstairs to apologise and finds him vigorously masturbating.

The mother says. “Luigi, when you finish your homework I want to have a word with you.”
