Harry….

[rusticgal]

Saw a clip on the News where Harry was on some Fox News show. It was not only totally cringeworthy viewing he is actually mocking the American voters for voting for ‘King Trump’…
Getting involved in American politics…he is treading a dangerous path.

Such a twat…I can’t download it but it’s on YouTube.

He just doesn't seem that intelligent. I don't know that many people actually care here that much what he thinks because he is that out of touch with reality. More people are personally bothered by the likes of Markle because she's a stark reminder of the clown show Hollywood has become and the therapy grift tour that has become so prevalent among celebrities. I don't like it when any of them do it regardless of their views or status.

It's all performative, but I'm not even sure that he knows that....

Mocking the voters will just make them be more stubborn against the Democrats come next election.

I'm disappointed that Harry isn't aware of that.

He certainly doesn’t have any intelligence…and thanks for posting the clip :wavey:

Well ..


Harry is dyslexic like his dad Charles… and dyslexics are all above average IQ / intelligence sooooooo


Also not many people at all have the mental capability of flying a flaming Apache helicopter


Prince Harry was a helicopter pilot, serving as an Apache attack helicopter pilot in the British Army for several years. He qualified as a pilot in 2012 and completed a tour of duty in Afghanistan as a co-pilot gunner. He later qualified as an Apache aircraft commander in 2013 before leaving his active pilot role for a staff position.

I saw him on that Colbert show. What an embarrassment that man has become. Even having distanced himself from the Royal Family, his behaviour is totally unbefitting of someone born into that position in life. Not that the opinions of American citizens should have any bearing on the King's decisions (woeful as I find many of those decisions to be), but I struggle to disagree with many of them calling on him to strip Harry of his titles. He's just not a Royal in any real sense now. No decorum, no intrigue or distance from the masses, no prestige. Now he's just the desperately henpecked husband of a narcissist c-lister.

Suggesting everyone with dyslexia is above average in the intelligence stakes is just rubbish or top universities would be inundated with them. Dyslexia affects people at all levels of intelligence. Also, qualifying as a helicopter pilot may suggest some skills in some areas but that doesn't mean he is an above-average thinker. He clearly lacks the self-awareness that might stop him making a whiny tit of himself.

Agreed. There is some link between higher intelligence and neurodivergence but that’s more the territory of neurodevelopmental ASD, dyspraxia and certain forms of heightened sensory processing (like misophonia, if it counts). Not dyslexia. Asperger’s, yes. Dyslexia, no. It’s not a neurodivergence that potentially heightens intelligence inherently.

As I understand there is a tremendous amount of crossover traits between dyslexia/ dyspraxia/ dyscalculia / Aspergers ADHD etcetcetc and huge misdiagnosis also .. so it’s a grey area I guess

Not necessarily. Individual neurodevelopmental disorders, I think, are no more inherently associated with each-other than other disorders are with each-other (like depression and OCD). It is very-much possible to be mono-neurodivergent and not have any overlapping traits of another category. People often forget that in all-this talk of pan-neurospiciness (irony not intended).

Many people with certain forms of Asperger’s (I’ll rope the putative archived entity of PDD-NOS), and people who may or may not be neurodevelopmentally autistic but do have certain corresponding clefts on top of being intuitive or an empath tend to have well-above-average verbal IQs, and, in-fact, high verbal IQ and relatively lower performance-IQ is very common in Asperger’s and dyspraxia, or non-verbal learning disability when there’s a discrepancy of more than 30 IQ points between both, even if the performance-IQ is still within the average or even above-average range. Such people often excel in writing and bla-bla-bla by very-virtue of who they are, not in spite of it. But going by the analogy that overlap is inherent, you could slide them closer to dyslexia than someone who doesn’t have a neurodevelopmental condition, even if they’re the extreme opposite and far less ‘dyslexic’ than the average person. Likewise for calm, quiet introverts with certain autistic clefts rejecting the notion of having ADHD when they’re sedentary, quiet, self-contained (again, because of who they are, not in spite of it), just-because others assume overlap and stereotype/make caricatures of people off the back of that, based on what they think is inherent to any-one label. Or the stereotypical Aspie STEM-genius being lumped in with a disorder (dyscalculia) they’re less-so than 99% of the population, A.-Level in Further Maths at the age of 14 to boot, just-because they’re both neurodevelopmental disorders but have nothing-else inherently in common.

So I just think it’s important to maintain that distinctness. And I think future research is going to back that up, even if jumping them together based on association-overreach is popular right-now. I don’t think that approach will age well and stand the test of time. I hope it doesn’t. And I say that as someone who appreciates your experiences. I’m sure they count for a lot, but I just don’t like this habit of association-inflation. Science will hopefully back that up one day and re-encourage differentiation with a bit more precision. The umbrella-framing and flattened identity-politics will hopefully look incredibly naïve in hindsight. And it is kinda ridiculous that you’re circling it as a big part of your argument. It doesn’t work as broadly as that. And personally, I think it’s a silly, reductionist idea.
