Minor quibble: not an IQ-test unless you mean to see who has high IQ (the higher the IQ, the higher the uptake ratio, as the Uppsala study showed a coupe of years ago).

Personality test, or intelligence test works however: IQ only measures IQ after all and I have met enough IQ 130+ (as measured by formal testing in a clinical setting) to now that high IQ simply means more ways of being stupid and less likely to question or listen to critique/criticism, esp. from more normal IQ people.

The reason is that the greater the deviation from the middle of the curve, the more abnormal the thinking of the individual in question.

So instead of using that high IQ to find out, criticise and question, they use it to be the best conformists, the most obedient workers, and the most adaptible climbers.

It's an IQ test in the sense of 'if you still don't want to understand it, there's nothing I can do to help you'.

IQ is, as so many other things, a scam masquerading as a useful standardised testing set designed to identify people with good pattern recognition skills. 'Intelligence', that is, the thing tested for, didn't exist 200 years ago--what existed back then was commonly known as wisdom and derived from knowledge plus experience plus judgement as to when, why, and how to apply what one knew.

IQ, by contrast, is just pattern-recognition ability (which can be trained, like Pavlov's dog, by the way) minus the knowledge plus experience plus judgement as to when, why, and how to apply it.

I don't think we disagree on this; I used the IQ moniker as 'click-bait', and I'm sorry I triggered you over that thing instead of the content of the ADAC insurance policy.

Hehe, triggered - that's me. Nah, but seriously, IQ has been abused and watered down so much it's just another box to tick. And IQ-tests for sale that gives you credentials for prospective employers have existed since at least the 1960s, so the utility-value is approaching zero, no matter what people like Scott Adams or Jordan Peterson persist in claiming.

As a side-note, when I was conscripted, I did the mandatory military intelligence test and got 30. As in, IQ of 30.

Right into the bull! The way I like and appreciate it. I like people with razor-sharp and crystal-clear minds and who call things as they are.

I wish you, your family and your adorable sheep a good, beautiful, and especially a more life-affirming, better and more peaceful New Year!

The same to you and yours, and thank you for reading!

Was the Uppsala study the one that used military personnel? I.e. pre-selected for obedience, and among those, the higher IQ ones are the "you obey if you know what's good for ya" types, i.e. not representative of general populace.

But I am pretty sure it is a combination of general intelligence and some personality traits (see Asch conformity experiment) that decides what people do here.

The blog owner mentioned experience further down - if one is inclined to not even look in directions where it smells foul, because detecting the pattern of "conspiracy" and being programmed by groups of supposed representatives of reason that you don't look that way, those people will never be exposed all that much do different patterns and models of conspiratorial behavior - so there is nothing to detect for them. (and if there is also a lack of imagination...)

No - the Uppsala study simply used the military's test and data collection. It has been used with small modifications for several decades, and since we have had conscription for about a century and the test was applied to every conscript there's reams of data, but it was not pre-selected military that was tested.

Also, Swedish military intelligence testing focuses on leadership ability, ability to function as a team member, and willpower to get the job done - not blind obedience.

The full test has IQ as one of its parts, and it was that part they used, and cross-referenced against education level, income, and other social factors for different age & sex brackets.

"ability to function as a team member" probably correlates with a tendency to do what the "herd" does, though. Especially if they have no means to separate that in the test, or even care for that distinction.

And still, in a military you won't get far if you're not obedient, so I take your claims with a good few grains of salt.

Yeah, das hat es, das Regime und das haben sie, die Machtrauschwahnsinnigen. Sie sind schuldig ungeheurer Massenverbrechen.

Nice to know, thank you. Just how crazy can all of this get I wonder. The insurance companies know a lot of course. I think I may have shared this already but it blows my mind to think this 100,000 deaths in Germany doesn’t make it to mainstream news .

Exactly.

It's also why none of this is talked about by the sycophantic legacy media.

EVERYONE knows more ("know" therefore, based on life experiences [in one's own body and soul'], general knowledge laboriously accumulated and compiled over many centuries [enlightenment / research after countless repeated trials and errors, / actual, all-encompassing, comprehensive education] ) than they are prepared to admit and/or - oh dear! - to admit, let alone name it!

Whether doctors (there is a huge difference between doctors and doctors!), lawyers, experts - these constantly refer to themselves as "experts" - from all areas, civil servants and non-civil servants at all levels, politicians, lobbyists, corporate and institutional giants from BIGData / BIGTech / BIGMoney and BIGMilitary including think tanks, [DESinformations] media people.... And yes, also and especially the populating people themselves! Because they are the true life experts! Every day anew!

Because: The people who populate this earth KNOW deep within themselves - (this KNOWLEDGE, also called primordial knowledge), are the naturally created and, in the best case scenario (unfortunately, it can wither away, as we all see again and again and have been confirmed as recently with the Covidian death cult), always excellently functioning alarm systems, which evolution has anchored in the DNA of humans and animals), when caution is required, when danger is imminent or threats of all kinds are approaching, etc. etc. You feel, (HE) senses, senses with wise foresight, all senses, antennas, sensors... are sharpened.... DESPITE all the confusion, deception, blinding and lying tactics and practices that continually penetrate and incorporate everything and anything.

Basically, people can always rely on their natural, essential (survival) skills, their instinct, their intuition, their life experiences, their (primal) knowledge. DESPITE all the monstrous confusion, deception, blinding and lying tactics and practices! However, for many reasons, these outstanding abilities have somehow been buried, damaged, paralyzed. They are not gone, disappeared, no! They can't because it's irrefutably written into the DNA. They simply need to be REactivated, revived and applied. It is possible!

We should and must get back to the point where people no longer listen to charlatans and shell players, no longer believe them blindly, turn away from them and instead fall back on their own compass, which works so fascinatingly and phenomenally.

Thanks, you are right.

Also, we should not trust ‘The science (TM)’ and to that (unfortunately) belongs the popular story sold to us about our DNA fixed in a ‘sequence’ for each one of us.

Now I am not saying that these innate senses we have do not come from some kind of biological repository but I just now question if that resides where we are told to think it resides - if you see what I mean?

Ja, absolut, das tue ich! Ich mache mir unentwegt viele viele Gedanken, sinniere, reflektiere, analysiere, stelle alles gegenüber und auf den Kopf und wieder retour. Es gibt so unfassbar Vieles, was wir Menschen noch immer nicht begriffen und verstanden haben bzw. es gar nicht können, und es wohl auch niemals begreifen und verstehen werden (können). Menschliche, tierische und pflanzliche natürliche Fähigkeiten, festgeschrieben in der "DNA", verstehe ich als sagenhaftes Wunder, als etwas Höheres, nicht Greifbares .... als Faszinosum des Lebens und Lebendigen. Woher auch immer es kommt bzw. gekommen/entstanden ist.

There’s a general ridiculousness and drift (pun intended) on side of the ADAC as a “lawyer for the members”.

TL;DR: they aren’t anymore in my opinion, they are more an interest-driven group that is politically skewed towards mainstream “green” movements; which is exactly contrary to their original intent and foundation. They have made several statements pointing towards them as cheerleaders for EV and the mal-advised “green transition”, disregarding the obvious devolution of mobility towards a morale-driven vs. innovation-driven. Early on they were cheering for better engines that use less gasoline (more efficiency achieved) vs. “just go EV, it’s so much better for the environment” morale-above-engineering cheerleading that happens nowadays.

However, to your point of vaccinations not being covered in a 100% “Accident Coverage” insurance: this has always and will always be the case for any type of “accident” plan coverage. They only cover real world accidents, as defined in a “sudden and unplanned” event.

Compare “drop off a ladder while gardening” (you didn’t plan on dropping off, did you?), “getting hit by a car while biking” to “getting vaccinated for the flu”. How would “getting vaccinated” in any case qualify as an “accident” in that definition of “a sudden, impactful event harming the affected person”?

(Hint: this the classic definition of “accident” used in accidents coverage.)

The nature of an accident (ie. the very definition of it) as it’s applied in a medical procedure (mandated or not) is not in general covered by any pure “accident” insurance.

Vaccination damage would be covered in “health” or “invalidity” plans; where I see the biggest impact of any vaccination event, including mandated ones.

So, them spelling this out is just a way of “spelling out” what usually is hidden deeper in the T&Cs for pure accident plans like the one you have here.

Just wanted to make that point, since how they put it can be interpreted in that way, since they spelt it out as “mandated mass vaccination”.

Might be they wanted to be transparent for their clientele - some need “spelling it out” understandably when perusing Ts&Cs of any kind for even well-versed people are a minefield of legalese-speak.

Or: maybe they had cases reported and working these impacted their claims teams unduly and someone made the “smart” (to be debated) choice of indeed ”spelling it out”.

Es ist doch absolut sonnenklar, ja glasklar, weshalb ADAC in diesem Fall die Schadensabsicherung bzw. die Deckung der Schäden aufgrund der staatlich und politisch - bei Strafen! (Gefängnis, nie zu vergessen!) - angedrohten und zwangsverordneten Massen-Genshotwahnsinns explizit AUS der Schadensrepertoire-Liste herausfällt! Sie wissen alle, warum. Die facettenreichen Schäden bzw. Folgen und Folgesfolgen aus dieser exorbitanten, weil weltweit und parallel orchestrierten Genshot-Obsession, waren noch niemals in der Menschheitsgeschichte so derart monströs hoch, verheerend und fatal, wie in allen herkömmlichen, bisher bekannten Impfkampagnen zusammengenommen. Es geht - je nach Region/Versicherungsnehmer - um zig Hunderttausende, wenn nicht um Millionen von Menschen, die auf die Idee kommen könnten, Schadensdeckung anzustreben. Dem kommen die Versicherungen zuvor. Und es werden noch viele weitere folgen.

Oh, well, I do think you're right about this: I suppose several customers tried to use their insurance this way (which is quite likely not totally out of bounds, but I suspect the insurance must also argue its case, hence ruling it out makes sense™).

With the Federal Court's ruling, those who administered the injections got off scot-free.

Now ostensibly private™ insurance companies are quietly walking away.

How anyone supports either the gov't or private corporations is beyond me.
