lol the host is annoying..he would be more intelligent if he would listen more than speak..he's trying unsuccessfully to match her intelligence..

[MrDespo3]

i have never found a person so attractive in my 32 years of being blessed by amazing female influences - i am fascinated by sir ken robinson, ray kurzweil etc - but this video (and this discovery of Marilyn mach Vos Savant) has blown me away - i haven't read all the comments but i would agree he interrupts her humble beginnings of some potential sparks of wisdom... what a woman!

"M": Juggle, among fallacies, logic-leaps. Post hoc ergo propter hoc: coincidental correlation sans causation: mal conclusion/s, solely upon events’ order vs. apt factors ass., correlation may or might rule out concatenation|linkage. EX: A occurs; then B::A 'cuz B? Rooster’s AM 'cuz sunrise? My own maxim adherence: “Required, covariation data, alone, doesn't affirm causality”. In|De-ductive reasoning can beguile eg, “Texas Sharpshooter” doom; Venn diagrams; Failure Logic; Mierscheid’s law.....?

EVALUATION: Marilyn posits well considered views & several innovative solutions of record. As a verified 175 [175 index] IQ-Test holder [Universal IQ-Test for Military Pilots] myself, I find that her phraseology bespeaks (wink) cleverness; her elocution & deportment (public speaking) rate celebratory, alluring & often persuasive...sort of ie, enticing: "you find yourself rooting for & wanting to believe her". Accolades tolled, nonetheless, she succumbs at times to slippery, if fluid, causality

FALSE Marilyn; EX. calculation agility counts as one aspect of any unimpeachable intelligence test. Over the recent two decades -- hailing eg, from Schenectady, NY to Venice Beach, CA -- multivariate [stats] analysts focused on cognition verses mere encyclopedic or achievement-based aka knowledge recall hybrid tests. Emergent tests--dare I say accurately--access & assess creative thinking prowess. Among my favorites hails that already mentioned. FYI: Edward Alf was the smartest mathematician ktm

BRAKES: She's filibustering poorly eg, 3.47 ...; her "explication" posits "a shifty actress's certitude" (discomfiture: she squirms, lobbing dross) when she "expounds upon" her convoluted "definitions" as to what constitutes IQ vs. eg, Intelligence: an off-the-charts fail. Her masquerade is compounded by her--beyond the hideous & unnecessary pancake foundation--explication wrought of [contemporaneously it had been debunked] the "10%" brain utility-pseudo-scientific fact assertion: WTF honey! NO!

Tacitly, she, wittingly or unwittingly, touches upon the "tip of the iceberg", re the hidden hand in education--driving curriculum internationally, no less--as exposed by eg, Charlotte Iserbyt: "The MIS-education of America (NWO, Illuminati, Communism)",aired on Alex Jone's show (see: Youtube VIDs). That broached, moving onward, for posterity's sake, it is important to note that her facial features, in person, are even (when I met her), and her eyes--within the kohl--shown an electric eagle-gold
