Content [line]<br/> The following are written by Victor Serebriakoff and may be reprinted in Mensa publications only. They are reprinted from the April Issue of <span style="font-style: italic;">Tableaus</span> the Australian Mensa Newsletter, forwarded to us by our man down under, David Durst.<br/> <br/> Mensa is a sample of the intelligent so it has a sprinkling of nuts: their influence should be in proportion to their members and not to their noise.<br/> <br/> To make Mensa into an organization that is going somewhere is like making a motor car out of steering wheels.<br/> <br/> Fortunately, Mensa is getting nowhere - slowly.<br/> <br/> Mensa has no political purpose - but we enjoy the argument about how to pursue it.<br/> <br/> To be proud of intelligence may offend your neighbor, but to be ashamed of it is an offense against humanity.<br/> <br/> High intelligence and insanity are not mutually exclusive.<br/> <br/> High intelligence is not defense against stupidity.<br/> <br/> The intelligent are so greedy for facts that they are prone to credulity.<br/> <br/> Great minds think unlike.<br/> <br/> The spade of brains throws the soil of hypotheses through the seive of experience to produce the pebbles of truth.<br/> <br/> Truth has misty edges because all sets are fuzzy.<br/> <br/> A completely defined fully specified set contains at most one member.<br/> <br/> If you want quick decisions apply to the ruthless or to the stupid, if you want good decisions apply to the wise, if you want delay, set up a committee.  <img width="20" height="13" alt="" src="/EPS/pictures/Image/EckE.gif"/><br/><p>[line]</p><p style="text-align:right"><span style="color:#910000; font-size:16px"><em>He was in on the founding of Mensa in England in 1947 and was instrumental in its growth in the 60s and 70s.  Check out stories about Victor <a href="http://www.dcn.davis.ca.us/%7Esander/mensa/VSObit.html">here</a> and <a href="http://www.goodbyemag.com/jan00/serebriakoff.html">here.</a></em></span></p>
