About

Prudentia High IQ Society was founded on July 12th, 2018. It is a high IQ society for people with an IQ of 140 or higher on a scale with standard deviation 15 (99.6th percentile, sometimes called "genius" level). Basically that means that there is a website on which people who have an IQ of 140 SD 15 or higher are listed. In addition there is this blog where every member can post articles whenever he or she likes.

The Prudentia Manifesto
For a Culture of Intellect, Depth, and Meaning

1. Who We Are
We are individuals with a rare combination of intellectual capacity (IQ ≥ 140), creative depth, and a relentless drive toward truth, insight, and inner growth. Our minds are tools, not trophies. Intelligence, in our view, is a foundation, not a finality.
 
2. Beyond Numbers
We recognize that IQ is only one facet of human potential. What matters more is how intelligence is cultivated: in thought, in creation, in dialogue, in action. We seek to move beyond metrics and into meaning.
 
3. Culture Over Conformity
We reject the pressure to dilute, suppress, or hide our gifts in the name of social conformity. Equally, we reject intellectual arrogance. Our aim is sincerity, not superiority: a life of the mind, lived with courage, creativity, and care.
 
4. Philosophy as Praxis
We engage with philosophical thought not as a hobby, but as a mode of living. We value essays, questions, paradoxes, systems, symbols, silence. We believe that inner life is just as real and urgent as outer achievement.
 
5. Against Anti-Intellectualism
We resist the growing trend of anti-intellectualism, even (and especially) where it hides behind cleverness. We value depth over popularity, complexity over simplification, long-term vision over short-term consensus.
 
6. A Society of Voices
Every member of Prudentia is encouraged to write, reflect, share, and question. Ours is not a passive membership, but an active fellowship. Through writing, publishing, and constructive exchange, we enrich one another’s minds and shape the world we wish to see.
 
7. The Ethical Mandate of the Gifted
We believe that giftedness comes with responsibility - to cultivate ideas that matter, to foster a climate of dialogue and to use the powers of mind in service of insight, growth, and human flourishing.

A Proof of the CTMU - Sketch

The CTMU is a theoretic model proposed by Christopher Langan. More information on it can be found at: https://ctmucommunity.org/wiki/ The core statement of the CTMU is: The Cognitive-Theoretic Model of the Universe is a language that describes itself. Another statement is: The Cognitive-Theoretic Model of the Universe is equivalent to Reality. From this follows: The universe is a language that describes itself. A language is a set of words that are generated using a set of rules called a formal grammar. A language can describe other languages - for example, English can describe French - and it can also describe itself - English can describe English. There is nothing that exists outside of the universe - everything that exists does so inside the universe. For this reason whatever describes the universe, as well as the language using which it does it, exists inside the universe. Therefore it it is legitimate to state that the universe describes itself. Since the language using which the...

The Synthesis of Metaphysics and Jungian Personality Theory

Image
A debate on Facebook dealing with the idea that one could continue living after his/her death if one uploaded the contents of one‘s brain onto a computer has stimulated me to thinking about the relationship between mind and matter. The conclusions I have come up with are far-reaching: they explain what probably is the true self of a person, why there probably is a life after death, and all of a sudden, Carl Gustav Jung‘s theory of psychological functions makes sense as I have managed to build a model of the human organism from which most of Jung‘s theory follows per logical deduction. The first time I read about the idea of uploading one‘s brain onto a computer was about 20 years ago. I immediately rejected the notion that a dead person would continue living if just the contents of his/her brain would be uploaded onto a computer. Even disregarding that a human being also has a body, I simply do not believe that I would consciously experience the thinking process of such an artificial b...

A Proof of the Riemann Hypothesis

A Proof of the Riemann Hypothesis By Iakovos Koukas (April 2024) Abstract: The Riemann Hypothesis, proposed by Bernhard Riemann in 1859, remains one of the most profound unsolved conjectures in mathematics. This paper presents a comprehensive proof of the Riemann Hypothesis, through eight steps that use mathematical tools from complex analysis, number theory, and mathematical logic. Beginning with the foundational definition of the Riemann zeta function, I extend its domain analytically, investigate its behavior within the critical strip, and use various mathematical techniques to establish the distribution of its non-trivial zeros. Through analytical reasoning and careful application of mathematical principles, I demonstrate that all non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function lie on the critical line, thereby proving the Riemann Hypothesis. Introduction: The Riemann Hypothesis is a conjecture concerning the non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function, a central object in ...
