I don't know if we can do anything here with the people of Sri Lanka
There's not many educated people here
We're a tiny minority
Many uneducated people vote stupid and destroy everyone else
I guess there wasn't ever a Lehan Edirisinghe type presidential candidate before for Sri Lanka
But people here won't pick me for the same reason they'll prefer Saddam Hussein in Iraq
Because that's how the people are, and you have to be ever mindful of this and always stay safe
I doubt even Dhammika could win with people here
I guess he is 110 IQ, I'm a 137. Not that it has any relevance but I think Hitler's very useful general Hermann Göring was 138. I guess Jonathan is 165. Jacques is 142 to 150.
Mahinda is 115. That's why he is Dhammika's boss. Dhammika is quite stupid, but "████████" (ABC News Australia) money. He and Jagath uncle who is a 124. They earn a lot as gambling is lucrative. But these are cognitively demanding and offer no real value to society.
It's not like cyber security which we in the same light failed to offer here successfully despite all the written evidence of attempts. Jagath is at least learning, and has improved.
His 4 x kids generally got the mother's intelligence. They are quite careless, easy going and quite innocent, easily gullible. I think Jagath is now 60 soon. He has reached the end of his life, with a family, his kids are having families, have taken over the business and he has nothing to achieve and I doubt he can now.
The kids are very gullible, lack critical thinking. Like the US White House as Bibi wisely put it. You can manoeuvre the White House easily as it depends on a human being
As President Biden who is humanely flawed and subject to the laws that govern a human being, such as the laws of reason, the flaws of decision making and the many competing stakeholders and interests and probabilities or rules he has to operate within.
Which I don't seem to have applicable or ascribe to myself.
I would say Bibi is easily a 170 to 180.
Lee Kuan Yew was a 160 to 175.
Lee Hsien Loong, although Harry married a smart woman, is around a 150 to 175. He has the same problem I do with bad teams who aren't very in depth as I am with verification.
Stephen LaBrooy is a a 135 easy. David Colin Thomé is a 110.
Sajith is a 95. Harsha who works for him is a 107. Ranil is a 117 but is very dishonest. Mahinda Samarasinghe is 114. Chandrika was around 106.
Lalith Kahatapitiya is a 115 to 125. Because IQ tests disproportionately value maths. He has filed patents for not such valuable innovation (sorry) under his daughter's name. But I guess, I am more emotionally intelligent than anything else or just the most vicious.
Thilanga is a bookmaker and must get his mathematics right. Except he doesn't. He is a 110 to 125.
My maths and vocabulary suck. But I score generally around 137.
I have quickly learned and now my scores are improving.
Sri Lanka's average is 78.
Which is "borderline ███████████████████████████", a severe problem.
I think that it's an unfair system which over emphasis maths and English vocabulary over logic and reasoning as many people see differently and have different types of intelligence
I only use it to illustrate comparatives and showcase how some policies or ideas we entertain are harder for many to simulate without accepting as this presents severe danger to us then
For instance, cut school teacher salaries. This is easy for us to say. Because it makes no sense for us. But if average IQ is 78 they will not agree. You can still do by saying use SWF to pay for it, then it works out. But you have say this policy is around 95 or 110 IQ to 125 IQ which is very tough to explain.
I guess if Asian Tiger economies were that smart. We should try be Asian Lion Economy where we dumb it all down as much as we can, so it's seen as somehow easy enough to follow.
When running the business. I saw that ███████, was very good with language intelligence. But not with logic or maths. It's clearly biased. But I'll give her a 105 IQ. Which is substantially low. But the trouble is when you present strategy they can't cope even at huge loss, you end up with severe problems.
I suggest when people are hiring or interviewing candidates for senior positions you only keep them on a short leash, on probation and spend most of that early 3 months on simulations of any real world situations, and decision making. This way you can slow crash land and burn any problem candidates who often have problems beyond your scope which bleed or leach in, and you have to go remove them quick as you can't help them when they get in to get in the way only and not push in a direction.
Imtiyaz Gaffoor did really well with this, which I still recall. I can't remember exactly what I asked him, but he can think cleverly. Even Shahim Fahmy was gifted and should've run Alpex Marine as COO, not me. Which is why it wouldn't grow or I was removed, as I only want to do things like "grow market share from 60 to 90% using standard work operations management". Chandrasiri is s*** at logic, but numerical and language from practice, at a 110. He has a good work ethic, but is intellectually lazy and complacent owing to satisfaction in success. Gaffoor for instance had critical thinking and problem solving on hypotheticals. It's quite tragic, those people were all quite happy, even ███████ surprisingly.
It was a real tragedy how we failed at trying to deliver good advanced technology. It just meant Sri Lanka lost a lot of productivity gains, better markets and we ended up losing a lot.
I think inevitably the people of the country, being as they are 78, they sort of put an uneducated villager in from 2010 to 2022 because that's the best they could do. They couldn't have picked any educated person who is transparent if they tried (pro eugenics argument; Lee Kuan Yew).
Collectively, they are guilty after apartheid, genocide and war crimes, and the corruption bribery hell kleptocratic economy, so they sort of only punish themselves which I don't think they can even help themselves now. Which is why you want to leave. Or at least move businesses like AngryPages.com to the US with Hirshon, so you can do anything and keep your money there safely as it earns internationally.
