We need to define what intelligence is. The recent plethora of professor paraded before us pontificating about the virus would seem to indicate that a specialist academy achievement is not an indication of intelligence. I quote the statment " I once knew a man who was fluent in five languages, but never spoke a word of sense in any of them"....To add to this my daughter has just told me the average IQ score of grand master chess players is 100..
Knowledge is not an intelligence!! Intelligence , in particular, is the ability to transform7/use knowledge into something new. An example. The self-taught Lagrange use the acquired knowledge into a whole new take on Newtonian mechanics, what we call now “Analytical Mechanics”
@@atg131000 That's is why the middle classes make the mistake of thinking a good education is a replacement for, and an indication of intelligence, ie the majority of politicians..

He doesn't understand it either. He claims being of average iq means that the probability of a random person you meet having a higher/lower iq is 50/50. That isn't how averages work because outliers tend to skew the average and the majority of the population tends to cluster around the average (hence the bell curve shape of iq data when it is graphed out). What he means is median iq

Kemi Badenoch has made some very interesting and thought provoking observations regarding these issues. Of Nigerian heritage herself, it's very revealing that she is where she is - and also Sunak and plenty of others - considering we are supposedly 'institutionally racist'. In fact, she said it's not Nigerians and other black nations that view Britain as an evil throwback of the Empire. It is usually British born white liberals and often black British people who have made a great success of their lives here. Lenny Henry, David Lammy and Diane Abbott are three such examples. For the life of me I do not understand their destructive mentalities and the harm they do to the very people they say they are trying to help.
It's all about bandwagons and virtue signalers being given a mouthpiece by irresponsible media types. The British Empire is as much a basic historical fact as that of the Romans; neither are cause for weeping and wailing, nor are they to be celebrated as perfect societies.

How do you define intelligence? I remember the taxi driver Mastermind winner Fred Housgo, who said he knew a myriad of facts but couldn't knock a nail in a piece of wood. True intelligence is making knowledge work socially and financially.
I'd say it's more a case of making use of the knowledge available or given to you. i.e. if it is going to rain in the winter out in the middle of nowhere on an expidition and you have a hole in your hut, some wood, a hammer, and some nails, the guy with any common sense would board his window up.
No, intelligence tests are done using neutral facts, symbols and numbers specifically so they can test raw intelligence, and avoid confounding factors like the subject happening to like the topic or activity.
the level of development in a country will be influenced by many things , but it stands to reason that one of those things would be the intelligence of its population. I think it's likely that the faster 20th century development of Israel vs surrounding arab countries , or the fast 20th century development of east asian countries has been aided in part by those populations having good genes for intelligence. this is also part of the reason why black countries are usually poor and undeveloped and why black people are usually in the lowest socioeconomic class in any country they move to. They don't have good genes for intelligence as often.
Our education system is seen across the world as one of the finest. Many rich families from other nations send their children to study here. The choice to forfeit the nation's intelligence/intellectual standard for the sake of being seen as " diverse " is mind boggling.
It's only "mind boggling" if you still think the political class are not interested in its destruction. Because an ignorant, divided population is much easier to control.
truth searcher You don't send your children to the likes of Eton solely to get an education, as every country has their own schools which will provide a first class education, you send them there so they get a chance to rub shoulders with the children of the elite.

Having read the article, I am at a loss to understand how Olujimi Fafowora is supposed to have broken the varsity record. There is nothing to indicate that he has surpassed some prior feat or produced a historically high result. He has simply become the second Nigerian at an Oxford college to have achieved a first in Maths. I note that he was educated at a private school and his father is an ambassador. It sounds like he benefited from some sort of privilege not enjoyed by the vast majority of people of any colour. But, of course, Black privilege is not a thing.

Making it a news story that a Nigerian achieved a First Class Degree in Mathematics seems, dare I say it, somewhat derogatory. Condescending may be a better word.

Well said 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼 That’s exactly it. If there are less Nigerians (or blacks generally) getting into Oxford in the first place (which may have as much to do with economics or even a desire to do so) then it follows that any such individuals achieving a First is going to be much lower. When they try to claim it’s racism, I ALWAYS cite the fact that Asians generally - be they Indians, Pakistanis, Chinese, Japanese etc - are consistently HIGH achievers in the West, and usually outstrip even the native white populations, being well represented in all the top careers, such as in medicine or dentistry - AND, by the way, in the more menial jobs such as running post offices, corner shops or takeaway restaurants. This is because they VALUE education, have a strong work ethic, DO NOT victimise themselves, and don’t bitch and moan or act as if anyone owes them a favour. They are aware that very often they don’t have the same opportunities in their own countries, either because of poor economies or oppressive political regimes. Blacks on the other hand (obviously not all, but certainly there’s a trend) think that everyone is out to get them and everyone is racist, as if the only thing we go around thinking about all day long is THEM. It’s such BS. They don’t even seem to realise that they make up just 3 PERCENT of the population of the UK, so they should NOT expect to be equally represented in the various job sectors (including film and television) or in education. They should absolutely have equal opportunity, but if we start giving them equal representation then it would mean that the jobs or university places are going to people on the basis of race rather than aptitude or skill set. And it means that non-blacks are being passed over for no good reason. Placement in employment or education should ONLY be about the best candidate for the position. In fact, I think that all identifying personal attributes (such as gender, race, sexuality and religion) should be hidden during the selection process. And as for this idea that the English (or British) countryside is “too white”, well that’s rubbish, because no one is stopping ethnic minorities from moving out of urban areas - but the reality is that 1) even if they do, they number so few in the total population that they’re far less noticeable than in the cities where they are concentrated; and 2) everyone is conveniently ignoring the fact that immigrant communities (and often their descendants) congregate around the cities because THAT’S WHERE THE WORK IS. It’s quite some audacity to accuse a country where the native population is Northern European (Germanic and Celtic, going back thousands of years in history) that there are too many of the native ethnic groups and not enough non-natives. Really??? Imagine if I went to Kenya and said there are too many blacks.
South East Asians such as Indians and Pakistanis do not out perform the British at all. They usually have to work harder at school academic qualifications ie, extra curricular learning, in order just to even compete with the British.

I don't understand this at all. Simon always clearly stated that the IQ statistics he quoted were 'averages' so a percentage of these would be above the mean and an equal number below; and when it's males we're talking about, their wider statistical spread would mean that some are a long way above or below the mean. Someone hasn't been paying attention properly. However, one would need to consult reliable IQ statistics for this particular Nigerian group, because the level of their 'mean' would dictate how likely it would be for one of them to be suitably equipped to obtain a 'first' from Oxford - assuming, that is, that Oxford's results haven't been 'ethnically adjusted', in which case the whole thing would have been completely devalued.

I went to my daughter’s graduation, at the Albert Hall, several years ago. Probably 40% of the graduates were Chinese of one type or another. If nothing else, they are a great source of income for the Universities.
My older brother went to Dartmouth in NH in the early 1970’s, an Ivy League University. His SAT scores were 800 out of 800 in math and 780 out of 800 for English. Grades were high honors in HS. He spoke French, German and could read Latin learned at a private school in 1964 and 65 when we lived in England. I remember him reading that a Ugandan applying at the same time to multiple Ivy League University’s who took the SAT’s maxed out both at 800 and along with perfect 1.0 high honors report card for his high school or equivalent also spoke fluently near half a dozen languages. His very rich parents the article went on him stated, raised him with Au Pair or nanny’s that all came from different countries and were instructed they teach them their native languages. So with money, the proper child rearing and the luck of DNA for elevated IQ every race has it’s above average. What struck me odd was after every Ivy League University accepted him for matriculation for enrollment he wrote all back except the one that he choose to enroll at appearing to denigrate them as sub-par and that they were deficient for his needs and desires. Clearly he was brilliant but proof positive all races can be full of themselves personally.
Simon isn't going to like that? 😕 My point is if opportunity and privilege is there Academic Success is not a problem for any person of any race. IQ levels is crap, as performance is determined by education levels. For example if I test Japanese students in Japanese but test African students in English when English is their 2nd language how are the tests going to come out? Why are the questions in their native language 🤔
Just to give Oxford’s admissions criteria some greater context. My understanding, from my son who attends Oxford, is the student’s “country of origin” is not the students nationality but the relates to the admissions authority (country) from which their application was made. I.e. if a rich African attends an English public school, they will recorded as a UK application, not based on their nationality.
It is well known that students from China are drilled and drilled to excel in the education system. I don't believe the difference is solely down to intellectual capacity but instead due to work ethic instilled from childhood. I think modern education has it's advantages and flaws. It indoctrinates the student in specific thought forms, but does not encourage creative individualism. Or independent thought constructs. Two notable examples. Einstein and The Special Theory of Relativity, and Tesla who discovered AC. Both of whom had left full-time higher education universities, and had been ignored by their peers. And yet their ideas came to change the modern world. Also if China and Singapore are so full of clever people, why do they keep stealing other countries technology, for examples the F22, the X86 CPU and so on. And copying it.
A teacher friend of mine stated that yes the Chinese are clever and can regurgitate information quite well, they have NO imagination and thus can't create much, but excellent at improvement..
Geneticists attribute around 50% of intelligence to genetics and 50% to environment. There is too much evidence out there showing East Asians have a slightly higher IQ than Whites and it would be foolish to believe it's 100% environmental (also, culture is often downstream of genetics anyway). There is however truth in what you say about Europeans being overwhelmingly overrepresented in innovation which is probably determined by our differing genetics. There's a saying that goes something like; 'give a White man a hammer and he'll create something, give a Chinaman a hammer and he'll make 100 hammers'. Another note, you should read about Einstein, he was somewhat of a fraud and plagiarised many of his ideas. He ran away from debates in Germany and America when he was challenged on his ideas and hired people to do advanced mathematics for him.
The Chinese have had standardized tests for centuries, I think it might literally have been a thousand years. It's evolutionary. The most successful at test-taking were often successful at breeding (if they didn't become a eunuch) so now china is full of people good at taking tests and not a whole lot else. It's the same reason high caste indians are so good at coding. Those that would have been in the religious caste and memorized scripture and mantras are using those skills to write code. Although, even those guys are few and far between. Most of the time the code these guys write has to be redone by white guys in silicon valley because what they make is so shit. They call it the code diaper.

IMHO intelligence is partly nature but overwhelmingly nurture. This notion I gained teaching children English as a foreign language. Boys (especially) forever told by their almost exclusively woman teachers that they were hopeless idiots, simply because they behaved as boys, would hide their lack of confidence behind a swagger. Having a man as a teacher, who spoke to them politely, and who possessed means by which to get them to speak English, produced consistently the most astonishing results, with the boys suddenly revealing how much they in fact knew and how capable they were in applying their intelligence, and learning with impressive speed. I never experienced this with girls because they weren't harangued in the same way by their almost exclusively woman teachers, but would sit in class in silence, and in most cases be possessed of very little skill. So, as has been researched, so-called bright children come from homes where their intelligence is nurtured, whatever their race (incl. white Africans), whatever the country.

Same here in America... Most public school institutions have a sliding scale now. So, an Asian kid will have to work harder at receiving an A than a black kid that would potentially receive the same A. Also, at many Ivy League schools like Brown University they've lowered the bar to increase acceptance rates for blacks. Their acceptance rate for blacks now is 22% vs 7% for all non-black admissions. In other words, you don't have to work at hard if you're a black person in America...you're entitled based on your skin color. This also applies to Affirmative Action with employers.

*"The exception is more interesting than the rule. The rule proves nothing; the exception proves everything. In the exception the power of real life breaks through the crust of a mechanism that has become torpid by repetition."* Carl Schmitt
that sounds nice but the more accurate statement is "the exception is sometimes more interesting than the rule" a minority of people walking away from the roulette wheel with more than they started doesn't change the fact that the casino on average wins.
@@lordsneed9418 "doesn't change the fact that the casino on average wins." Indeed, let me elaborate it further. The use of the term "exceptional" has to be underlined here: Schmitt defines sovereignty as the power to decide to initiate a state of exception. What is the exception Schmitt? A state of exception (German: Ausnahmezustand) is a concept introduced in the 1920s by the German philosopher and jurist Carl Schmitt, similar to a state of emergency (martial law) but based in the sovereign's ability to transcend the rule of law in the name of the public good. As within the Casino case: They've (Casino) counted the cards and weighed the odds and it's in their favour, the rules, a game of chance with specific odds. Now as a player you could have the same ability to count, or the chance and odds were just in your favour, either way if you win too much you can be banned/barred from the Casino. Both parties played by the same rules but one initiated a state of exception. The exception is, on average the House takes in more than what they give out. It is neither betting or gambling, it's cheating, for the mere fact their ability to transcend the rules for its benefit at your expense.

I agree with you, sir.
We need to define what intelligence is. The recent plethora of professor paraded before us pontificating about the virus would seem to indicate that a specialist academy achievement is not an indication of intelligence. I quote the statment " I once knew a man who was fluent in five languages, but never spoke a word of sense in any of them"....To add to this my daughter has just told me the average IQ score of grand master chess players is 100..
Fred - brilliant!.
Though equally its always easy for people to say that
Knowledge is not an intelligence!! Intelligence , in particular, is the ability to transform7/use knowledge into something new. An example. The self-taught Lagrange use the acquired knowledge into a whole new take on Newtonian mechanics, what we call now “Analytical Mechanics”

Kemi Badenoch has made some very interesting and thought provoking observations regarding these issues. Of Nigerian heritage herself, it's very revealing that she is where she is - and also Sunak and plenty of others - considering we are supposedly 'institutionally racist'. In fact, she said it's not Nigerians and other black nations that view Britain as an evil throwback of the Empire. It is usually British born white liberals and often black British people who have made a great success of their lives here. Lenny Henry, David Lammy and Diane Abbott are three such examples. For the life of me I do not understand their destructive mentalities and the harm they do to the very people they say they are trying to help.
What do you mean "Of Nigerian heritage" she blatantly is Nigerian, let's not fool around here
Kemi has happily supported the culture that has educated and taught white Brits the need to apologise for their skin colour tho.
Its ENVY. Plain and simple.

How do you define intelligence? I remember the taxi driver Mastermind winner Fred Housgo, who said he knew a myriad of facts but couldn't knock a nail in a piece of wood. True intelligence is making knowledge work socially and financially.
Well said.
That sounds like what a marxist would say.
I'd say it's more a case of making use of the knowledge available or given to you. i.e. if it is going to rain in the winter out in the middle of nowhere on an expidition and you have a hole in your hut, some wood, a hammer, and some nails, the guy with any common sense would board his window up.
No, intelligence tests are done using neutral facts, symbols and numbers specifically so they can test raw intelligence, and avoid confounding factors like the subject happening to like the topic or activity.

the level of development in a country will be influenced by many things , but it stands to reason that one of those things would be the intelligence of its population. I think it's likely that the faster 20th century development of Israel vs surrounding arab countries , or the fast 20th century development of east asian countries has been aided in part by those populations having good genes for intelligence. this is also part of the reason why black countries are usually poor and undeveloped and why black people are usually in the lowest socioeconomic class in any country they move to.

Having read the article, I am at a loss to understand how Olujimi Fafowora is supposed to have broken the varsity record. There is nothing to indicate that he has surpassed some prior feat or produced a historically high result. He has simply become the second Nigerian at an Oxford college to have achieved a first in Maths. I note that he was educated at a private school and his father is an ambassador. It sounds like he benefited from some sort of privilege not enjoyed by the vast majority of people of any colour. But, of course, Black privilege is not a thing.

Making it a news story that a Nigerian achieved a First Class Degree in Mathematics seems, dare I say it, somewhat derogatory. Condescending may be a better word.

Wasting a couple of million is just business as usual for a Labour council...
Well said 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼 That’s exactly it. If there are less Nigerians (or blacks generally) getting into Oxford in the first place (which may have as much to do with economics or even a desire to do so) then it follows that any such individuals achieving a First is going to be much lower. When they try to claim it’s racism, I ALWAYS cite the fact that Asians generally - be they Indians, Pakistanis, Chinese, Japanese etc - are consistently HIGH achievers in the West, and usually outstrip even the native white populations, being well represented in all the top careers, such as in medicine or dentistry - AND, by the way, in the more menial jobs such as running post offices, corner shops or takeaway restaurants. This is because they VALUE education, have a strong work ethic, DO NOT victimise themselves, and don’t bitch and moan or act as if anyone owes them a favour. They are aware that very often they don’t have the same opportunities in their own countries, either because of poor economies or oppressive political regimes. Blacks on the other hand (obviously not all, but certainly there’s a trend) think that everyone is out to get them and everyone is racist, as if the only thing we go around thinking about all day long is THEM. It’s such BS. They don’t even seem to realise that they make up just 3 PERCENT of the population of the UK, so they should NOT expect to be equally represented in the various job sectors (including film and television) or in education. They should absolutely have equal opportunity, but if we start giving them equal representation then it would mean that the jobs or university places are going to people on the basis of race rather than aptitude or skill set. And it means that non-blacks are being passed over for no good reason. Placement in employment or education should ONLY be about the best candidate for the position. In fact, I think that all identifying personal attributes (such as gender, race, sexuality and religion) should be hidden during the selection process. And as for this idea that the English (or British) countryside is “too white”, well that’s rubbish, because no one is stopping ethnic minorities from moving out of urban areas - but the reality is that 1) even if they do, they number so few in the total population that they’re far less noticeable than in the cities where they are concentrated; and 2) everyone is conveniently ignoring the fact that immigrant communities (and often their descendants) congregate around the cities because THAT’S WHERE THE WORK IS. It’s quite some audacity to accuse a country where the native population is Northern European (Germanic and Celtic, going back thousands of years in history) that there are too many of the native ethnic groups and not enough non-natives. Really??? Imagine if I went to Kenya and said there are too many blacks.
They seem to be getting high representation at the BBC and in commercials!!!

I don't understand this at all. Simon always clearly stated that the IQ statistics he quoted were 'averages' so a percentage of these would be above the mean and an equal number below; and when it's males we're talking about, their wider statistical spread would mean that some are a long way above or below the mean. Someone hasn't been paying attention properly. However, one would need to consult reliable IQ statistics for this particular Nigerian group, because the level of their 'mean' would dictate how likely it would be for one of them to be suitably equipped to obtain a 'first' from Oxford - assuming, that is, that Oxford's results haven't been 'ethnically adjusted', in which case the whole thing would have been completely devalued.

And a huge drain on our resources , we should be educating our own and encouraging (through scholarships) our working classes.
My older brother went to Dartmouth in NH in the early 1970’s, an Ivy League University. His SAT scores were 800 out of 800 in math and 780 out of 800 for English. Grades were high honors in HS. He spoke French, German and could read Latin learned at a private school in 1964 and 65 when we lived in England.
I remember him reading that a Ugandan applying at the same time to multiple Ivy League University’s who took the SAT’s maxed out both at 800 and along with perfect 1.0 high honors report card for his high school or equivalent also spoke fluently near half a dozen languages. His very rich parents the article went on him stated, raised him with Au Pair or nanny’s that all came from different countries and were instructed they teach them their native languages.

Simon isn't going to like that? 😕 My point is if opportunity and privilege is there Academic Success is not a problem for any person of any race. IQ levels is crap, as performance is determined by education levels.
For example if I test Japanese students in Japanese but test African students in English when English is their 2nd language how are the tests going to come out? Why are the questions in their native language 🤔

Just to give Oxford’s admissions criteria some greater context. My understanding, from my son who attends Oxford, is the student’s “country of origin” is not the students nationality but the relates to the admissions authority (country) from which their application was made.
I.e. if a rich African attends an English public school, they will recorded as a UK application, not based on their nationality.
Simon Webb will not give two craps about such things....that wont help his agenda.
@WHITES LOVE MY PLAYLISTS and are you happy about that?
Just call a spade a spade!!
Well said Simon, on point as usual.
It is well known that students from China are drilled and drilled to excel in the education system. I don't believe the difference is solely down to intellectual capacity but instead due to work ethic instilled from childhood.
I think modern education has it's advantages and flaws. It indoctrinates the student in specific thought forms, but does not encourage creative individualism. Or independent thought constructs.
Two notable examples. Einstein and The Special Theory of Relativity, and Tesla who discovered AC. Both of whom had left full-time higher education universities, and had been ignored by their peers. And yet their ideas came to change the modern world.
Also if China and Singapore are so full of clever people, why do they keep stealing other countries technology, for examples the F22, the X86 CPU and so on. And copying it.
A teacher friend of mine stated that yes the Chinese are clever and can regurgitate information quite well, they have NO imagination and thus can't create much, but excellent at improvement..
@@user-ww1yg1fq5r Strangley they are the same race who invented gun powder, the compass, printing press, paper. Amongst many other things.
Geneticists attribute around 50% of intelligence to genetics and 50% to environment. There is too much evidence out there showing East Asians have a slightly higher IQ than Whites and it would be foolish to believe it's 100% environmental (also, culture is often downstream of genetics anyway).
There is however truth in what you say about Europeans being overwhelmingly overrepresented in innovation which is probably determined by our differing genetics. There's a saying that goes something like; 'give a White man a hammer and he'll create something, give a Chinaman a hammer and he'll make 100 hammers'.
Another note, you should read about Einstein, he was somewhat of a fraud and plagiarised many of his ideas. He ran away from debates in Germany and America when he was challenged on his ideas and hired people to do advanced mathematics for him.
The Chinese have had standardized tests for centuries, I think it might literally have been a thousand years. It's evolutionary. The most successful at test-taking were often successful at breeding (if they didn't become a eunuch) so now china is full of people good at taking tests and not a whole lot else. It's the same reason high caste indians are so good at coding. Those that would have been in the religious caste and memorized scripture and mantras are using those skills to write code.
Although, even those guys are few and far between. Most of the time the code these guys write has to be redone by white guys in silicon valley because what they make is so shit. They call it the code diaper.
Because it’s a smart way of obtaining technology without the costs of developing it
Hi Simon, can you cover the topics discussed in 200 Years Together, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's book? The accusation is that the Russian USSR bolshevik communists were not in fact Russian at all, but were Jewish.

Well done that man. (The Nigerian that is). When it comes to intelligence mostly l still put it down to great schooling in childhood. If you don't get that, then you will be average. I think youngsters are like sponges, but you need a positive family environment too.
Having been born and raised 2 miles from Brixton and Peckham since 1954 , it is a cultural thing. This is why there was so much beef between THe African and Black British Communities of Jamaican antecedency as West Africans from Nigeria and Ghana gave the original arrivals 35 years start and instead of being at the bottom of the education leagues at schools and colleges they rose to the top with Asiatic and Jewish and Chinese people.
Wrong. It's about your family putting time and effort into you. For example, I'm continually told I'm lucky because I can formulate a sentence and speak clearly. No, my mum read to me as a kid and encouraged me to learn the anguish language correctly. Rather than "talkin lyk dis m8"

I remain unconvinced of this so called Nigerian genius. Firstly, Oxford standards today are dismal unlike the intense Greek and Latin prep you needed over a hundred years ago to get in (in which case almost no ethnics would get in) and secondly the average man cannot judge how good a mathematician is. When have you ever looked up a mathematician like you would a carpenter and plumber? Never. It goes to show the utter unmerited praise to these so called geniuses. I suggest if you want a good example of intelligence go to South Africa. Find me a black farmer who understands agricultural science and applies it successfully and who can plan ahead for years of dearth. I'm not interested in a Nigerian wearing a mortar board. Ask for an email showing me a successful mass producing farmer in Africa.

@@jamesjameson4566 I think we both know the answer
IMHO intelligence is partly nature but overwhelmingly nurture. This notion I gained teaching children English as a foreign language. Boys (especially) forever told by their almost exclusively woman teachers that they were hopeless idiots, simply because they behaved as boys, would hide their lack of confidence behind a swagger. Having a man as a teacher, who spoke to them politely, and who possessed means by which to get them to speak English, produced consistently the most astonishing results, with the boys suddenly revealing how much they in fact knew and how capable they were in applying their intelligence, and learning with impressive speed. I never experienced this with girls because they weren't harangued in the same way by their almost exclusively woman teachers, but would sit in class in silence, and in most cases be possessed of very little skill.
So, as has been researched, so-called bright children come from homes where their intelligence is nurtured, whatever their race (incl. white Africans), whatever the country.

Can most men?
Same here in America...
Most public school institutions have a sliding scale now. So, an Asian kid will have to work harder at receiving an A than a black kid that would potentially receive the same A. Also, at many Ivy League schools like Brown University they've lowered the bar to increase acceptance rates for blacks. Their acceptance rate for blacks now is 22% vs 7% for all non-black admissions. In other words, you don't have to work at hard if you're a black person in America...you're entitled based on your skin color. This also applies to Affirmative Action with employers. If a white guy and a black guy apply for the same job then it's likely the employer will give the job to the black guy because he has to fill a "quota"...even if the white guy is more qualified. It's sickening and pathetic.
@WHITES LOVE MY PLAYLISTS No doubt! But here's what I don't get! It's the most elite white people that are allowing this to happen and even pushing for it to happen.

@@lordsneed9418 "doesn't change the fact that the casino on average wins." Indeed, let me elaborate it further.
The use of the term "exceptional" has to be underlined here: Schmitt defines sovereignty as the power to decide to initiate a state of exception. What is the exception Schmitt?
A state of exception (German: Ausnahmezustand) is a concept introduced in the 1920s by the German philosopher and jurist Carl Schmitt, similar to a state of emergency (martial law) but based in the sovereign's ability to transcend the rule of law in the name of the public good.
As within the Casino case: They've (Casino) counted the cards and weighed the odds and it's in their favour, the rules, a game of chance with specific odds. Now as a player you could have the same ability to count, or the chance and odds were just in your favour, either way if you win too much you can be banned/barred from the Casino. Both parties played by the same rules but one initiated a state of exception.
The exception is, on average the House takes in more than what they give out. It is neither betting or gambling, it's cheating, for the mere fact their ability to transcend the rules for its benefit at your expense.
