He’s also worked as a “genius consultant” on shows like Child Genius, has invented multiple intelligence tests, has degrees in Mathematics and Philosophy and has written a number of books.
I've written "a number" of books, too. What a garbage commentary.

Mensa was the center bingo square so no credit there.

So your IQ is from 160 to 172 – what kind of intelligence does that focus on?

Most of the IQ tests, which started 120 years ago, with the Binet, and then the Stanford Binet, were based very simply on teaching World War One fighters – if a person was competent after flight, which was basically looking at numbers, words, and pictures. And that was to work out if you were clever enough to solve problems quickly. And could you see things other people can't see.

Nowadays, we have IQ tests that are still based on those three, but maybe a few more like lateral thinking, which is complex problem solving, or word associations: synonyms and antonyms, alien classes and common classes, numerical sequences. And so in my tests, I have 20 IQ tests that I've written. And some of them have never been completely solved by anyone in the world, even teams of people have tried to crack my codes.
Is this just the guy that got slammed when it turned out that his seemingly impossible puzzles were in fact impossible because none of the logical leaps required to get to the solution made any loving sense?

Also, IQ tests were based on testing the capabilities of French 7-year-olds (or thereabouts). You'd think Mr. Big Brain would know that.

None of the interview is about future predictions, but it does cover that through reiki he can totally diagnose people and also he can measure intelligence with his eyes.

Haven't watched it but my understanding is that she says something along the lines of "my attorney said I shouldn't talk about this, so I'm gonna sing!"

Not exactly the same but there's this "endless" sushi place in my town where they add increasing amounts of salt to the rice with every round. After round 3 it's basically inedible. If you somehow keep going the wait between rounds becomes ridiculously long, like almost an hour. Shame, because the first couple rounds are pretty delicious!
There's a fantastic sushi place near me that has an all-you-can-eat deal, but also an "if you're a dick about it we'll charge you extra about it" clause in addition to only being able to order 2 or 3 things at a time per person at the table. And they've got actual real wasabi!

The text is "we'll charge you extra about it" but the subtext is "don't be a dick"

Like, the last time I went, we didn't get charged extra for the slices of the fancy Hot Cheetos roll we didn't eat, because we weren't dicks about it.

I thought the olive oil thing was reasonably common knowledge. The New Yorker covered it in 2007, and I saw a TV special about it when I was literally a child, and I'm 36 now. Every couple of years, another investigative piece comes out. Google turned up articles from 2012, 2014, 2016, 2021, and 2023. Like, this is less an earth-shaking revelation and more just the latest in a long chain of reports.
Mob connections to olive oil was part of the plot in The Godfather (maybe both parts one and two)

but i think it would be pretty hard to shoot a dolphin in the water multiple times
Not if it's chilling around the boat as dolphins often do and some dumbass vaguely remembered the orca yacht attacks and went "it's comin' right at us!!" with an AR-15 or something.

What's strange is it was found March 13 and there still aren't details like caliber, total number of wounds, just that three distinct areas were hit. Washed up in western Louisiana, almost Texas, i.e. gun country/far-western Florida.
