Do you think when our little friend, Algernon, refused to run in the maze and solving puzzles, he was having an internal struggle? Maybe he was questioning why does he actually needs to do these things, maybe he was questioning his freedom...

The new issues have to do with how intelligence uses information, or, more accurately, how intelligence and other fact-based analysis will fare in a world in which even a sophisticated society like our own is trending toward decision making anchored on a priori, near-instinctive narratives—decision making based on that which can be made popular or widely held rather than on that which is objectively true.

Did you know that in the movie “Argo“, Ben Affleck played Tony Mendez?

In real life, Mendez was a master of disguise during his career in the CIA. I just wonder what stories he can't tell because those stories have got to be another blockbuster movie or two!

This book rips your heart out! Again and again, and again. I realised as I was reading it that I had read it before, but it must have been when I was a teenager I think. I couldn‘t remember most of it but it seemed familiar. Anyway brilliant book showcasing the best and worst of humanity. It was never going to end well. 😭

I had high hopes that this was going to be a fun and light read. Ding dong, I was wrong. Do you think you‘re superior to other members of the animal kingdom? Read this and wish you were someone‘s pet chicken. It didn‘t make me cry, but now I‘m more envious of Wednesday All-Kitty seen here.

As a psychologist I often wonder by what standards do we have the right to judge others with our IQ, personality, emotional, among others the test to judge IQ are and have been proven to be biased so how can anyone consider them valid, but we do still use other test we need to change the standardization of testing and judging specifically children tests 🙌🏽
