Conversation with Masaaki Yamauchi on Updates and the Second Edition of “The ESOTERIQ Society Conversations”: Administrator, ESOTERIQ Society (4)
Scott Douglas Jacobsen: We have done several interviews before, including the compilation of an ebook to highlight some of the members of the EsoterIQ Society. We have discussed I.Q., time, standards for admission, OlympIQ Society, metaphysics, the binomial distribution structure of I.Q., personal background, and various philosophical positions. We have enough material for a second edition of the text. So, this interview can comment on that. What were your first reflections on the first issue of the test?
Masaaki Yamauchi: That was my first mail interview in English, so I was afraid of my composition. I indeed appreciate all readers for my product.
Jacobsen: What was positive about it?
Yamauchi: I just wanted all readers to know the highest I.Q. people’s backgrounds and opinions.
Jacobsen: What was negative about it?
Yamauchi: I could not tell you everything I would like to say.
Jacobsen: What was the general feedback about it, if any?
Yamauchi: I have never accepted any feedback so far. No one cares, I guess!
Jacobsen: The theoretical distribution of the current population should expect fewer members than the current 25 in the EsoterIQ Society. What is the reason for the 25 members rather than a lower number in the EsoterIQ Society?
Yamauchi: Yes, you are right! The entrance criteria of the EsoterIQ Society requires one out of one billion in the unselected adult population, as you can see. Consequently, there must theoretically be only eight individuals in the world. However, the theoretical and actual rarity have gargantuan gaps in each other above three standard deviations above the statistical mean on normal distribution. More than four standard deviations on the distribution cannot always be calculated with safety. I need to find out the actual rarity of the six standard deviations. The Giga Society by Paul Cooijmans, societies keep more than eight members.
Jacobsen: What would you like to see in the second edition of the text?
Yamauchi: I do not care about it. I depend on you.
Jacobsen: How would you prefer it formatted and designed?
Yamauchi: Pretty. It looks so nice and wonderfully elegant.
Jacobsen: Do you still hope to continue with the EsoterIQ Society until the end of your life?
Yamauchi: Yes, unless an unavoidable, unexpected happening occurs in my life.
Jacobsen: Do you have any updated or extended thoughts on the spirit or the non-physical?
Yamauchi: Our physical body is just a few percent, and more than 90% is non-physical. Sleeping is not the end of today and just the beginning of the next day. Same as well, death is not the end of our life but the beginning of the next life. Reincarnation exists beyond any religious dogma.
Jacobsen: Any updates on further schooling?
Yamauchi: Honestly, my dream would be to acquire a master’s degree (undecided major) in the graduate school of either M.I.T., Princeton, the U.S.A. or Oxford, Cambridge. It will come true until the end of my life.
Jacobsen: What do you take as your “response” and “ability” or responsibility in life now?
Yamauchi: In terms of a parallel universe, there will be two patterns in our future when one event happens in our lives. All events in our lives are just neutral facts, but one good future will be created when we respond to the event, and another bad future will be created when we react to the event.
Response means the mind of appreciation, and reaction stands for the mind of dissatisfaction.
Hence, I always respond to all events with a mind of appreciation.
Jacobsen: What do you hope people will take from this update to the ebook in your Society?
Yamauchi: The highest I.Q. people are not always geniuses, and I.Q. tests do not measure human intelligence. The true genius is yourself!
Jacobsen: Any final thoughts?
Yamauchi: The mystery of human intelligence is still unknown, but everyone has their unique absolute intelligence.
Jacobsen: Thank you again for the opportunity and your time, Masaaki.
Yamauchi: I apologize that my English skills are insufficient to express my opinions and thoughts to the readers.
