Paean to Jerry Dominelli
"Does anybody know Mozart's IQ?" I can't vouch for the methodology, but here is a pretty extensive list of projected IQs: http://www.kids-iq-tests.com/famous2.html Mozart and Beethoven are ranked the same, with an adjusted score of 143. Leibniz was at 173 and Newton at 168, so I guess Leibniz gets some small measure of revenge. One last comment on IQ's in general; one of my few true personal heroes, and quite possibly the single most brilliant man of the 20th century was Richard Feynman, and he claimed to have scored 124 on an IQ test in high school. And finally, speaking of personal heroes: John Wooden, RIP.— June 6, 2010 11:22 p.m.

Response to #82: Don, unfortunately my dogs don't know much about European music, so they can't help your vizslas with the Mozart question. They are, however, quite good at breaking our rules (almost Harvard MBA caliber) and their ability to dig their way out of our yard may be a plus in the coming underground economy. As for myself, I have played plenty of Bartok in my day, so maybe I can translate for your vizslas. Hopefully your dogs are not too advanced for me, as I stopped well short of Liszt (though I still hack at it occasionally, and dream). I am also a fan of Paul Erdős, though most of the pertinent details are Greek to me.— June 6, 2010 11:01 p.m.

Response to #76, I didn't understand your post, but my dogs are Rhodesian Ridgebacks and they were rolling on the floor (which is actually rather impressive since Swahili isn't spoken in Zimbabwe, so I am not sure where my dogs picked it up).— June 6, 2010 10:59 p.m.

Response to #52: Προφανώς αυτό είναι όλα τα ελληνικά σε σας, έτσι θα προσπαθήσω τον στα ελληνικά. Ένας ΔΕΙΚΤΗΣ ΝΟΗΜΟΣΎΝΗΣ εκατόν είκοσι είναι αρκετά παραπάνω από το μέσο όρο, αλλά δεν είναι πολύ πρόσθετος υπό οποιαδήποτε πραγματική έννοια. Στην πραγματικότητα, υπάρχουν τόσο τόσοι άνθρωποι με έναν υψηλότερο ΔΕΙΚΤΗ ΝΟΗΜΟΣΎΝΗΣ στις Ηνωμένες Πολιτείες όπως υπάρχουν άνθρωπος σε Καλιφόρνια.— June 5, 2010 11:56 p.m.

Oh, that's just great Don. Now we have to add into the argument whether the IQ drop applied to Dominelli or just to the rest of San Diego, and how that effects the IQ stats! ;)— June 5, 2010 7:13 p.m.

Response to #45: If you don't have a firm grasp of ethics by the time you get to Harvard grad school, I think the only thing you will learn from their "ethics" class is that other people have them and you can attempt to use that fact to your advantage.— June 5, 2010 6:50 p.m.

Response to #44: Shall we just use the entire population of the United States, and say that there are 32.5 million people with higher IQs in the US? That is roughly the population of California. Does that smooth out the geographical differences enough for you? There are roughly 105K people in Cambridge, so even if 100% of their IQs are higher than 120, you still have a large number to account for.— June 5, 2010 6:47 p.m.

lifesbeengood, You gave the IQ numbers, so it is silly for you to now complain they are not valid. The point is that his IQ put him behind between 100k and 200k San Diegans, yet he pulled off a large ponzi scheme. If not IQ, what was it about him that allowed him to so successfully sucker the rich and powerful in San Diego? Don mentioned that Dominelli was a sociopath, which undoubtedly played a role. There also seems to be something inherent in a large part of the San Diego rich and elite that allows them to be scammed fairly regularly and fairly easily. Why is that?— June 5, 2010 12:24 p.m.
