CULTURAL QA 05202422
Q1 What is the funniest joke you've been told that you still
think about to this day?
KR Similar old joke. One went to temple and prayed to God for
money with a promise to part with 50%; and when he came around, he saw a
hundred rupee note. He took it and told God, “what is your kindness; you
not only answered my prayers; but also saw to it that Iam not troubled
walking back, all the way- you took your share and left to me here my
share”.
Q2 Why did Brahmins not allow Shudra to study for 2,000 years?
KR The reply is not an analysis from scriptures but an oratory
made politically. Well, where it was said one shall not do the other? All
read neither the verses nor the characters were devoid of reading Vedas, or
doing agriculture and sculpture or arms training or any business. As a
chameleon one takes the hue of that profession when you do and there were
no prohibitions. Vedas also said in emergency what one can do beyond the
assigned professions. By making one a manager, it is the duty of the
manager to do only the managerial jobs and not waste time unnecessarily
clerical jobs also; but never was there any taboo. Someday I will enlarge
it as an article.
Q3 Once an IQ is over 130, what might you observe in a person
with each increment above that?
KR This is a data taken out of the leaves of designing thought
process Edu articles. And that is his personal evaluation but not exactly
the truth.
IQ and EQ are two different types of intelligence, each focusing on
different aspects of human cognition and behaviour:
IQ (Intelligence Quotient):
IQ is a measure of cognitive intelligence, primarily focusing on analytical
and problem-solving abilities.
It's often assessed through standardized tests that measure skills such as
logical reasoning, mathematical ability, spatial awareness, and language
comprehension.
IQ tests typically provide a numerical score that reflects a person's
relative cognitive abilities compared to others in their age group.
Traditional IQ tests have been criticized for their cultural bias and
limited scope in assessing the full spectrum of human intelligence.
EQ (Emotional Quotient or Emotional Intelligence):
EQ refers to emotional intelligence, which involves the ability to
perceive, understand, manage, and express emotions effectively.
It encompasses skills such as self-awareness, empathy, social skills,
self-regulation, and motivation.
EQ is important for building and maintaining relationships, navigating
social interactions, and coping with life's challenges.
Unlike IQ, EQ is not typically measured through standardized tests but is
instead assessed through observations of behavior and interpersonal skills.
Fundamentally, IQ focuses on cognitive abilities related to logical and
analytical thinking, while EQ focuses on emotional and social intelligence,
including understanding and managing one's own emotions and those of
others. Both types of intelligence are important for overall success and
well-being, and they complement each other in various aspects of life,
including personal relationships, academic and professional achievement,
and overall mental health.
The theory of cognitive analysis under science says,” IQ and EQ are
important aspects of intelligence, but they don't encompass the entirety of
human intelligence. There are other dimensions and types of intelligence
that contribute to a person's overall cognitive abilities and adaptability.
Some of these include:
Creativity: The ability to generate novel ideas, think outside the box, and
approach problems in unconventional ways. (an artist will not be weighed by
IQ and EQ)
Practical Intelligence: The ability to apply knowledge and skills
effectively in real-world situations, including common sense, street
smarts, and problem-solving abilities in everyday life. ( we may see a
villager who can predict the weather so accurately than the IQ bros)
Social Intelligence: Beyond EQ, this involves understanding social
dynamics, navigating social situations, and forming meaningful
relationships. (How well KK, JJ LP Yadav and all could measure the pulse of
the voters)
Cultural Intelligence: The ability to interact effectively with people from
different cultural backgrounds, understand cultural norms, and adapt
behaviour accordingly. (The wit of dancer Padma Subramanyam)
Spiritual Intelligence: The capacity for self-awareness, introspection, and
understanding of existential questions and values. (Any more than Adi
Shankara, Sri Ramanuja and Madwa?)
Physical Intelligence: Bodily-kinaesthetic intelligence, involving
coordination, dexterity, and physical expression, as well as understanding
and using one's body effectively. {PM Modi?)
Intuitive Intelligence: The ability to make quick, insightful decisions
based on instinct and intuition, often drawing on tacit knowledge and gut
feelings. (Gen Manekshaw)
Environmental Intelligence: Awareness of and adaptability to the natural
world, including ecological understanding and sustainability practices.
(Aranyaka Rishis of different kinds)
These are just a few examples of the multifaceted nature of intelligence.
Each person possesses a unique combination of these intelligences, and
their overall intelligence cannot be fully captured by a single measure
like IQ or EQ. It's important to recognize and appreciate the diversity of
human abilities and the many ways in which individuals can excel and
contribute to society. Provided only the delivered matters that do matter
and not the vociferous speeches.
As seen from the science world and Psychology media the lean on IQ
and EQ is not any absolute truth in entirety. “In the field of psychology,
both IQ and EQ have been subject to evaluation and scrutiny regarding their
validity, reliability, and applicability. Here's a brief overview:
IQ Testing:
IQ tests have been extensively studied and refined over the years to ensure
their reliability and validity.
Standardized IQ tests, such as the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS)
and the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scales, undergo rigorous psychometric
testing to establish their effectiveness in measuring cognitive abilities
across various populations.
However, criticisms of IQ testing include concerns about cultural bias,
limited scope in assessing certain types of intelligence (such as
creativity or practical skills), and the potential for test scores to be
influenced by factors such as socioeconomic status or educational
opportunities.
EQ Assessment:
Unlike IQ tests, there is no single standardized measure of EQ. Emotional
intelligence is typically assessed through various methods, including
self-report questionnaires, behavioural observations, and performance-based
assessments.
Researchers have developed several measures of EQ, such as the Emotional
Intelligence Appraisal (by Travis Bradberry and Jean Greaves) and the
Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test (MSCEIT), each with its
own strengths and limitations.
The validity and reliability of EQ assessments have been a topic of debate
within the scientific community. Some researchers question whether EQ
measures truly capture emotional intelligence or if they primarily assess
personality traits or social skills.
Overall, while both IQ and EQ assessments have undergone scientific
evaluation and refinement, they are not without *limitations**. *Researchers
continue to explore ways to improve the measurement of intelligence,
including the development of new assessments that take into account the
complexity and diversity of human abilities. Additionally, there is ongoing
debate and research regarding the extent to which IQ and EQ contribute to
success and well-being in various domains of life.
And I took the test: one said my IQ was 110; another 10; and one
more 190. But who cares for someone’s evaluations? I do respect my value.
Why? I have people around who say mine is only minus 120!

Q5 How foolish we are becoming?
KR: In traditional grinding using a mortar and pestle, the
grindstone (mortar) was typically stationary, while the pestle was moved
manually in a rotary motion to grind the material against the surface of
the grindstone. This method requires physical effort and skill to achieve
the desired texture or fineness.
In modern mechanical grinding, especially in industrial settings, it's more
common for the pestle equivalent (the grinding tool) to be stationary while
the grindstone equivalent (the abrasive surface) moves. This movement can
be rotational or linear, depending on the specific type of grinding
machinery being used. This shift to a stationary pestle and moving
grindstone allows for greater control, precision, and efficiency in the
grinding process, particularly when large quantities of material need to be
processed.
Are we progressing or destroying? Are we becoming wise now or stupid?

*Q1 What is the funniest joke you've been told that you still

A1 Alkis Piskas, Lover of Philosophy, Logic and Math Mar 29
I just read a very good joke with God and it made me think of one of my
favourite ones:
A man gets back home in his car with a very urgent need to visit the
toilet. But he couldn’t find any place to park, so he started praying
intensely: “God, do something for a place to be evacuated so that I can
park … Please! It’s very urgent! If you do that, I will then do whatever
you ask me to!”
After a few seconds, someone un-parked, leaving a vacant place. The man
said: “It’s OK God. Never mind. I found one.”
*Q2 Why did Brahmins not allow Shudra to study for 2,000 years?*
A2 Ravikumar K., Self employed (2019–present)Dec 21
1.Why did Kshatriyas not allow Brahmins to get training in warfare, keeping
arms and study martial arts for 3000 years?
2.Why did Vaishyas not allow Brahmins to do business for 5000 years?
3.Why did Shudras not allow Brahmins to learn to farming arts, sculpturing,
pot preparing, carpentering ,iron work etc. since 10000 years?
4.How did Dr. B R Ambedkar, the Dalit scholar study in 19 th century, if
Brahmins and others not allow?
It was the duty of British government, Moghul government, Khilji
government, Gulami government, Chavan government, Gupta government,Mourya
government and all ancient kings' governments (Not a single one belongs to
Brahmins!) to provide education to all their citizens.
What is the role of Brahmins here, who were never in power?!

* * * * *
When I meet smart people — I make two assessments, one is quick, the other
requires some one-on-one discussion.
FIRST:
To what degree do they see the world as zero-sum? Are they primarily
self-interested? This greatly affects my willingness to engage with them at
all.
Unfortunately, we live in world in which it is considered quite OK for
smart people to tilt interactions (such as a business deal) in their own
favor. Smart people find it relatively easy to fool the less-smart and
thereby separate them from their money. And, because we tolerate this as a
society, income asymmetry continues to grow and our world becomes a
less-and-less friendly place to be.
Who created the modern business-model behind Payday Loans? (not the
counter staff!) — And at Subway, why does 8% of gross sales go directly to
Wall St. for every single sandwich made-&-sold in N.America? Why do we
tolerate this??
I try to avoid people like these —
— the go-getters, the zero-summers, those hypnotized by wealth —
I also do this generally — not just with smart people. But it is
especially good to be cautious around anybody “who fancies themselves smart
enough to take advantage of others.” What is something that people with
genius level IQs see in people that most people don't see?
SECOND:
Assuming I choose to interact with someone, fairly quickly I get a sense of
just how smart he/she is:
Tier I: IQ from 130 to 140
Tier II: IQ from 140 to 150
Tier III: IQ of 150+
With Tier I persons — I can have useful stimulating discussions. They will
understand the problem I am concerned with, even if they do not understand
my proposed solution. Talking about the problem helps both of us to
understand it better.
With Tier II persons — As above, except they will follow both discussions
(problem and possible solutions) well-enough to offer useful criticism and
insight.
With Tier III persons— We move very quickly beyond the problem/solution
framework and into the kind of speculative thinking (both creative &
critical) which I adore. Occasionally, we are able to view and understand
the original problem from a novel angle, gaining entirely new insight into
possible solutions. David Miller has a poetic alternative-way of describing
“the view” from Tier III.[1]
Of course, conversation is not always so scientific. Sometimes we are just
joking around — yet the same kinds of distinctions become apparent. The
smarter the person, the deeper (and more subtle) their insight & humor.[2]
Are these two assessments correlated?
I would like to imagine that they are correlated. Namely, that the smarter
a person is — the freer that person becomes from the pursuits of wealth and
narrow self-interest.
Sadly, however, this does not seem so. The majority of the Tier I and Tier
II people that I have met (and I have met many hundreds) do indeed seem to
be greatly distracted by the pursuit of personal wealth.
On the other hand, I have not known enough Tier III people to assess their
relative degree of freedom — but I can say that some remain zero-summers.
*Q4 Why are naidus in Tamil Nadu claiming themselves as
Tamilians rather than Telugu people?*
A4 B. Janarthanan, Updated May 11
I was born in a village in Virudhunagar district of south tamilnadu. All
people in our entire village speak Thelungu ( not telugu), meaning that our
Telugu has much influence of Tamil. But we don't know Telugu to read and
write. We don't even know our origin in Andhra pradesh. We might have
migrated to Tamilnadu during Krishna devarayor period. But our mother
tongue is still Telugu. There are many villages in Tamilnadu, where the
entire village people will be Telugu speaking.
*Q5 How foolish we are becoming?*
A5 Chauhan Babu Nath,21h
1. Earlier we used to buy tomatoes for ten rupees per kg and eat fresh
chutney.
Now we eat two-month old tomato sauce at Rs 150 per kg.
2. Earlier we did not drink even one day old water, nowadays we drink three
months old bottles worth Rs 20.
3. Earlier we used to drink fresh milk in the morning and evening. Nowadays
we drink five day old bagged milk in the name of amu taja.
4. Earlier we used to drink fresh juice, now we drink 6 months old
artificial juice in the name of real..
5. Earlier we used to drink fresh Jaljeera, now we drink two months old
cold drink for Rs 60 a litre.
6. Cashews and almonds worth 500 or 700 kilos, which increase the immunity
of the body, seem expensive to us, but a pizza made from rotten flour worth
400 kilos seems cheap to us.
7. Earlier we did not eat the food prepared in the morning even in the
evening and now we eat stale food prepared by companies with great
enthusiasm.
Whereas we know that many types of chemicals are added to the ready-made
items made by companies under the beautiful name of preservatives.
Are we progressing or destroying? Are we becoming wise now or stupid?
