Born to do Math 131 - We Live Our Stories: We Are Our Stories

Born to do Math 131 - We Live Our Stories: We Are Our Stories
Scott Douglas Jacobsen & Rick Rosner
August 8, 2019

[Beginning of recorded material]

Scott Douglas Jacobsen: We talked yesterday about Will. We came up with two extra points of contact, at least one main one, which was Confirmatory Will. It was pinning things down.

Rick Rosner: It is using will as a conscious decision. The point we left off on was, 'Why is consciousness expressed to us in the form of a narrative? What is efficient informationally about us feeling as if we're part of a story?" 

It is not unreasonable to consider humans generalists and adapted to finding regularities in the environment as opposed to more specifically adapted creatures who have less general intelligence to the extent that general intelligence may exist. 

I would suggest that narrative framing is an efficient way of structuring experience. That part of general intelligence is identifying situations involving cause and effect, finding the reasons for things, and tracing out the causes and the effects. 

That making it part of a story is a compact way of structuring that knowledge.

*High range testing (HRT) should be taken with honest skepticism grounded in the limited empirical development of the field at present, even in spite of honest and sincere efforts. If a higher general intelligence score, then the greater the variability in, and margin of error in, the general intelligence scores because of the greater rarity in the population.*

According to some semi-reputable sources gathered in a listing hereRick G. Rosner may have among America's, North America's, and the world’s highest measured IQs at or above 190 (S.D. 15)/196 (S.D. 16) based on several high range test performances created by Christopher HardingJason BettsPaul Cooijmans, and Ronald Hoeflin. He earned 12 years of college credit in less than a year and graduated with the equivalent of 8 majors. He has received 8 Writers Guild Awards and Emmy nominations, and was titled 2013 North American Genius of the Year by The World Genius Directory with the main "Genius" listing here.

He was named "Best Bouncer" in the Denver Area, Colorado, by Westwood Magazine.

In addition, he spent 25 years as a bar bouncer and American fake ID-catcher, and 25+ years as a stripper, and nearly 30 years as a writer for more than 2,500 hours of network television. Errol Morris featured Rosner in the interview series entitled First Person, where some of this history was covered by Morris. He came in second, or lost, on Jeopardy!, sued Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? over a flawed question and lost the lawsuit. He won one game and lost one game on Are You Smarter Than a Drunk Person? (He was drunk). Finally, he spent 37+ years working on a time-invariant variation of the Big Bang Theory.
