James Harris.

Read about the crank, Chris Langan, who founded the "Mega Foundation"
he

his phony IQ claims and the court judgment against him for falsely
claiming
to head the Mega Society.

[it starts as a thread on typical severly gifted genius topics - you
have to scroll down a bit to see the things mentioned.]

His "Mega Foundation" is also a ripoff of the
"Mega" moniker of the real high IQ group Mega Society that sued his ass
for
IP theft.

Harris got picked up by a pack of scam artists.

Huh. This judgement, dated March of this year, orders him to stop
publishing his "Noesis Journal". But isn't that the name of the thing
that James got "published" in?

It was a vanity publication if it put in Harris' crap at all. The
"high IQ" clubs - ISPE (150 IQ), Triple 9 (150 IQ), Prometheus (164
IQ), Mega (170 IQ) - are without external peer review and are
typically populated with New Age hind gut-fermenting wombats loudly
congratulating each other on their "discoveries." Even the lowly
Mensa "Bulletin," though striving for some sort of overall
respectability with a real editorial staff and expert consultants, has
a Letters page that invariably reads like crank.net. Everybody can
cure society's ills, everybody knows science is wrong because every
honking sincere crackpot is right.

http://www.msu.edu/~isa/
is headed down the same slippery slope. By not having any objective
standards it is begging for
http://www.physics.nyu.edu/faculty/sokal/

America Mensa, Ltd. (132 IQ) has a tax-exempt money-burning, hind
gut-fermenting "research" arm: American Mensa Education and Research
Foundation (MERF). MERF's 21 March 2003 "Audited Financial
Statements" publication spelled the organization name in big bold
cover font as "American Mensa Education and Researh Foundation."
You'd think they'd be smart enough to use a spell checker - unless you
know anything about the jolly PhD psychologist poseurs in MERF. Their
"scholarly" output is internally reviewed and is on the level of
Harris' spew. OTOH, their audited expenses make for interesting
reading if you like semi-fiction.

A particulary toothsome MERF paper fit a straight line through an
apparently round disk scatter of points. I can appreciate how it
would take many years of intensive graduate study, or a stint selling
Rolexes from a folding table on a Manhattan street, to present that
with a straight face.

That's pretty funny. But I've sometimes had the impression
(from plots people showed me) that some particle physics
looks like that, only fitting gaussians instead of straight
lines. "See, there's a statistically significant peak here,
right where we expect."

The Mega Society has (or had?) in Marilyn Vos Savant someone who took
such an interest in FLT that she wrote a book about it.

Now the Mega Foundation has a counterpart FLT expert in James Harris,
although he's never, as far as I know, appeared in the Guiness Book of
World Records.

Maybe someday he will. And maybe he'll have a column called "Ask James".
That would be interesting. He's certainly prolific enough to do a weekly
column.

Where in this post does Ullrich claim to have a high IQ?
