Abhishek Shivkumar: The Bestest Outlier of them All (Kanye has nightmares about me)

First of all, I have an IQ of 370, so I'm the most smartest peoples.

I've been able to play Art Tatum's Tiger Rag run for run since I was 4 months old.

I've been able to solve a Rubik's Cube with just my eyelashes since I was conceived.

Also, I have my own website so I'm certifiably a genius.

My claim to fame is that I was one of the many people to NOT WIN A GAME SHOW.

Sidebar: Did that sink in at all? The smartest man in America's only claims to fame are hearsay and not winning a game show.

Also, while being a genius, I've never done anything remotely intelligent in public.

But I'm really smart and I writed a theory. All genii write their entire theory in footnote font because we don't believe in legibility.

I'm reading through my own theory now (for the first time, from how it's written(I'm Chris Langan in this, if you haven't guessed yet)), and I don't have the time to offer a rebuttal for everything that's wrong with it. I guess I can do just the first sentence.

"Inasmuch as science is observational or perceptual in nature..."

WRONG, BITCH HEARDA DARK MATTER IT DON'T BE INTERACTIN WITH PHOTONS IT IMPOSSIBLE TO PERCEIVE BITCH

From a cursory reading of my own theory, the thesis seems to be as follows "You gotta see it, to believe it". I managed to stretch that to 56 pages in tiny font, so good for me.

Here are some of my quotes:

"The stupid person thinks he's as smart or smarter than the smart person, and therein lies his stupidity"

Sidebar: Your intelligence is only perceived by yourself, which by your own slightly solipsistic theory cannot be trusted.

"...It's not entirely clear what's right and what's wrong in any given situation, unless you can parse the situation, deconstruct it. People just don't have the insight to be able to do that effectively"

Sidebar: Cocky douchebag.

That's pseudo-intellectual garbage, the truth eludes complexity. Seriously though, on the surface it's sort of difficult to see why this is a ridiculously dumb quote. You can't parse every situation, deconstruct it (even if you put your entire life into it). You didn't exit a birth canal, look at a Doctor and know instinctively that he was made of complex molecules made of atoms with leptons and a nucleus composed of two different kinds of particles each baryons composed of three more fundamental particles. A bit reducto ad absurdum but still.

Final Sidebar: Both of these monumentally stupid (or at least very misinterpretable) quotes were taken from the first minute of a part of an interview with him.

    1. You need to realize that, while I'm not the best at explaining my point, my intended audience always understands what I'm saying. You need to work on being less hypercritical. And if you can't get what I'm saying, that's really more of your problem. You also need to work on providing examples with your vague, insulting criticism.
