Welcome back to the Alien Space Sheep Talk Show podcast.
2
00:00:23,040 –> 00:00:32,040
In case you’re just joining us, you’re listening to the Alien Space Sheep Talk Show podcast with Emma Hickins and Travel Gear.
3
00:00:32,040 –> 00:00:37,040
It seemed 46, I think she’s now 78 or 79.
4
00:00:37,040 –> 00:00:38,040
Okay.
5
00:00:38,040 –> 00:00:44,040
She’s recognised for having the highest recorded intelligence in the Guinness Book of Records.
6
00:00:44,040 –> 00:00:56,040
She had a score which was actually she went through a test of 228. It was listed in 1985 based on tests taken as a child.
7
00:00:56,040 –> 00:01:08,040
She owned the title of the smartest person in the world. She’s a writer and over her marinal-ask-mariling column and her correct analysis of the complex Monty Hall problems.
8
00:01:08,040 –> 00:01:23,040
By the age of 10, she could read the entire American encyclopedic range. She had a recorded IQ of 228.810 and she’s still alive.
9
00:01:23,040 –> 00:01:36,040
Now the Guinness Book of Records discontinued this particular record in the 90s because mostly people were not formally recorded by a test which this lady was.
10
00:01:36,040 –> 00:01:46,040
Even Einstein wasn’t and most others were not. Apparently the Monty Hall controversy in 1990, Marralyne sold the Monty Hall problem.
11
00:01:46,040 –> 00:01:56,040
I don’t know what that is. A famous probability puzzle. Her correct answer led to 10,000 letters including many from PhDs arguing against her.
12
00:01:56,040 –> 00:02:08,040
She was proved right. The Guinness Book of Records recorded the highest IQ category. It just shows you that even there guys women come out on top.
13
00:02:08,040 –> 00:02:18,040
We assume it’s not the case. I think we’re going to be running a short time.
14
00:02:18,040 –> 00:02:28,040
But what I want to come on to is people who are punished in society, many with very good reason. We know that.
15
00:02:28,040 –> 00:02:36,040
Do we believe that prisoners should receive education?
16
00:02:36,040 –> 00:02:46,040
Oh, God’s grace. Education. I’ll write that. Put it as reorientation.
17
00:02:46,040 –> 00:02:57,040
As you said earlier, we all come from different backgrounds.
18
00:02:57,040 –> 00:03:07,040
The lifestyle, the people we grew up with, what got different orientations.
19
00:03:07,040 –> 00:03:15,040
For some, they just think, “Oh, that’s like fast art. It’s been. That’s the way they know it.”
20
00:03:15,040 –> 00:03:20,040
They just do it that way. Some of them need reorientation.
21
00:03:20,040 –> 00:03:32,040
Most people would tell you that education is limited. In the four walls of the higher institutions, it’s kind of limited.
22
00:03:32,040 –> 00:03:43,040
They don’t really teach you everything about life per se. But if you give them some sort of reorientation, they say they’ve come from a different background.
23
00:03:43,040 –> 00:03:51,040
But our life is in this part of the world. You give them reorientation, which is a form of education anyway.
24
00:03:51,040 –> 00:04:00,040
But I would put it reorientation rather than education. I’ll put it that way.
25
00:04:00,040 –> 00:04:07,040
You reorientation. You reorientation. Changing the mindset.
26
00:04:07,040 –> 00:04:14,040
Yes. I think that would work more than just putting them in the class. This is A that’s B.
27
00:04:14,040 –> 00:04:23,040
They could still hug you. But if you reorientate, they’ll try to change their mindset. I think that would work better.
28
00:04:23,040 –> 00:04:32,040
Absolutely. Because really, for many of these people who lose their liberty, it’s a revolving door, isn’t it? They go into prison.
29
00:04:32,040 –> 00:04:38,040
They don’t really get much rehabilitation very often. And when they come out, they come out to having no job.
30
00:04:38,040 –> 00:04:47,040
They have no CV often, no home. They may experience homelessness. And in the way is that they then figure that it’s better to go back into prison to get food and…
31
00:04:47,040 –> 00:04:56,040
And it depends on how the system tags them as COVID. They don’t get jobs.
32
00:04:56,040 –> 00:05:03,040
So some of them end up going back to what they know how to do best. Because they’ve never been reorientated.
33
00:05:03,040 –> 00:05:13,040
If someone gets a reorientation and he knows what he or she has done, it’s bad. And that’s why it’s been punished.
34
00:05:13,040 –> 00:05:22,040
Even if he goes out and there’s no job, he knows that it’s bad. Like capital bad. And my keep away from it.
35
00:05:22,040 –> 00:05:28,040
I’ll try to do for all the sorts of livelihood.
36
00:05:28,040 –> 00:05:34,040
What about you, Kuz? What do you think should prison have education?
37
00:05:34,040 –> 00:05:44,040
Well, I think absolutely everybody should be educated. But like Jerome said, it’s got to be targeted education.
38
00:05:44,040 –> 00:05:53,040
You know, targeted towards rehabilitation or reorientation as it’s put it. But it’s still education. You have to educate them.
39
00:05:53,040 –> 00:06:03,040
Whether they’re reminders of what they should be doing or whatever. But yeah, I think absolutely you cannot survive without education.
40
00:06:03,040 –> 00:06:12,040
Everybody has to be educated, even if it’s just the basic things. Because there’s something called life skills.
41
00:06:12,040 –> 00:06:18,040
And these just prepare you for what you’re going to do.
42
00:06:18,040 –> 00:06:26,040
We’re going to take a short break now. We’re back shortly. You’ve been listening to the Alien Space Ship talk show with Trevor Gear and Emily Higgins.
