I’m sure that makes sense as a fantasy, but it has a different flavor when you add context to the fantasy: “Who among us would not discount the existence of Ford’s wife as a fellow human being whose life, happiness, and closest relationships were worthy of the same respect we’d expect others to give us?”

I’d purchase this without hesitation.

For $160 or more? Nah.

Some people seem to be hurrying to the conclusion that I’m equating low IQ and assholery. But my imaginary scenario above is about how a *mismatch* between what you’re told you are and what you actually are could cause you to go off the deep end. (But in honesty, I do think Woods’ behavior displays a special brand of…

Gotta wonder if that high IQ Woods allegedly scored was part of some kind of cruel secret study about the impact of giving high IQ scores to actually low-IQ-scoring individuals.
