The Box

"All reactionaries are paper tigers." -Mao

The Box

    There are well established ways to get out of the box.

    Some fall out, like Damian.

    Others appeared first in the outer void, so far, they never even see its glimmer.

    Others live their whole life insight of the box. A glass box, a bullet proof plexiglass-box. A kiosk. A box-office in an apartment office block. A full contact defensive block.

    Some go in and out everyday.

    At the border there are mimes. They even have an act they do about the box -- though they themselves cannot see the box, nor in general can their audience --

    -- who watch from glass houses, and play with paper dolls. It looks different on the inside, claustrophobic -- they can't find their way out of a paper bag!

    They see cement ceilings, ride box cars, sip carboxide, and eat tofu tigers from paper boxes.

IQ is crap. It's based on 19th century questions that were never actually intended for standardized test.

Not that I don't wish it were reliable, I have an IQ of 139.

This is playing poetry ('rhyming' concepts) and clang-association with: 'out-side the box'.

Were these IQ tests done by psychologists, or an internet/magazine test?

If so, Zazaban you can join MENSA, Garnier you have to go and buy a helmet.

I don't think so. My psychiatrist said my IQ is 141, which means I wish it meant something too.

You know what I find retarded, 108 is supposed to be the average IQ, but the only people who have IQ tests are usually suspected of having learning disabilities or are extremely bright. So my question is do they just average those scores or do they do a lot of testing on "average" people as well, which I doubt because of the effort involved.

are intellectuals drawn to anarchism because it lets them break boundaries?

Actually I've seen a porno that had a storyline somewhere along those lines.
