I became aware of penman through a recent vice article[edit]

The tone of the Vice article is pretty scathing, but even without that it seems clear that Penman's work needs to be looked at a lot more carefully. This article reads like it was written by him, as does the linked article on biohistory. Adambrowne666 (talk) 08:55, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand why on Wikipedia but IQ is always a guide to how objective and unbiased anybody's Wikipedia page will be. If it's a higher IQ being discussed, the page will always be full of petty personal attacks. Especially if it is a Christian gentile. It's like the editors of Wikipedia are a petty, envious bunch of Jews who cannot bear to show any respect for anybody but their own tribal group. Jim Penman's entire page is full of sequeways that seem to be nothing but biting, ugly slurs against his character ... most of them trivial and irrelevant criticisms that would be disregarded as ad hominem on anybody else's page if they were Jewish. The editors of Wikipedia seem to always be on a personal crusade to embed all kinds of their political prejudices into every single paragraph. His book Biohistory is revolutionary and the first important book on mankind since WW2 but it will never get any traction nowadays in Klownworld. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:8805:5204:60A5:1CD8:C27D:8D4E:F092 (talk) 21:40, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

HWAM (hot water and milk)[edit]

I feel like this could be worth including:

7.20am Mug of HWAM (hot water and milk). I always hated coffee and used to drink tea, but found the less tea in the cup, the better it tasted. Eventually I realised the best amount was none.

Doctorate[edit]

According to a number of sources, Jim Penman did in fact eventually gain a PhD from La Trobe University. So the obvious question is: why is this not mentioned in this article? And indeed, I'm not quite sure why the fact that the thesis was initially rejected considered relevant to this article. But, leaving that aside, I think certainly the fact that he did gain the PhD should be mentioned. Any thoughts?
