Surely it's Mensa membership that correlates with low achievement, not scoring well on IQ tests per se.

"Next time you’re listening to a guru, ask yourself: How do I really know that they’re successful?"

An ironic item to include.

This is a well-established business model in poetry contests.

Looks like just since January the combined market share of IE versions has declined from 73% to 55%. That is a dramatic change. More significant, probably than a temporary spike in search share driven by ads.

They're walking down those steps, though, not up. The next step is 1, not 3.

"If they are random useless sayings: ignore them"

This seems irresponsible advice. There are serious conditions whose symptoms are hearing voices. He should at least consult a doctor.
