doesnt that make the "smart" person a dum dum too?, since he cant understand stand the "dum" person?..
i mean, i constantly see folks here bashing on the illiterate folks just cuz they cant understand them, or rather they dont take the time to understand them, but that's not necessarily the fault of the illiterate.
i myself can understand whatever material you throw at me, give me some phd shit and ill absorb that shit like a sponge, or give me some illiterate shit and i'll understand it just as well.
i mean, being literate doesnt automatically make you smart, it just makes u sound smart. imho if u;re truly smart u'd be able to communicate with and understand anyone regardless of whether they use fancy words or not.
discuss how ever u'd like

this thread is lacking substance
here's a scholarly article on twerking
http://triceratops.brynmawr.edu:8080/dspace/handle/10066/14354
Quote:
abstract:
This thesis argues that twerking both constrains black women as its representations reinforce myths of their hypersexuality, and enables resistance to these representations by allowing black women a forum for expression and the ability to reclaim their bodies. Chapter one provides a brief history of the representation of black women's bodies in the U.S. This literature review outlines the hypersexual stereotype that has existed and still exists in black women's representation, while underscoring the relationships between black women's bodies, racial and gender hierarchy, media, and the construction of black female identity in the United States. These theories establish a framework from which to examine the twerking phenomenon. Chapter two defines twerking, its origins, and the implications of its current representations for its black female performers. Chapter three analyzes intentions of and reactions to Miley Cyrus' controversial 2013 Video Music Awards performance in order to assess how and why it had the effect of cultural appropriation for so many viewers. While these first three chapters emphasize the constraints that representations of twerking can impose on black women, chapter four explores the enabling potential that twerking can have for its performers.

Being smart or intelligent isn't or at least shouldn't be defined by what you know, but how you use the information you have.
Some of the greatest thinkers in history were illiterate, your ability to read and write isn't a reflection on your ability to comprehend and understand things and put that knowledge to actual use.
Someone can know everything there is to know, if it doesn't benefit them, how does it make them any better then anyone else it's fun to learn, but just because you know more or can explain it to others better, doesn't always make you smarter.

Through the process of psychedelic physical/mental/social evolution, one can become not so "dumb", or "stupid", or "antisocial" or "psychotic", along with reincarnation, if you believe in that sort of thing. I must counter your argument that the truly intelligent do not understand the lesser "ones", (those not intent on improving themselves by communing with, and having a relationship with "plant teachers".)
Higher levels understand the lower ones, we just don't pay that much attention to them except for devouring, which would place true cosmonauts on the top of the food chain.

I by default treat people like equals without even thinking, and sometimes gives friction because well, they aren't.
I'm not THAT smart but, a bit more than most. Not much but a noticable difference. It gives me few problems but on occasion I have been short tempered with people for "why do you have to be that way?" when it was due to an intelligence gap.
With people of greater intelligence I also get frustration, a frustration too keep up, blaming myself while not realizing they are simply brilliant and I'm not.
I have taken 3 major IQ tests in my life. One said 170+ which is too high, the other said 100 which is too low and one that said 125 which might be representative.
I have a few mind hacks that are hard to put into words. I have ways to come up with answers I never learned which have a very high probability of being accurate, on the fly. This deductive magic makes me seem super intelligent to some but, I'm not that remarkable. I could be a physician but would suck as a physicist, a good teacher but no professor.
I hate it when people are about their intelligence, especially if they truly are highly intelligent. It angers me to no end. In my mind, highly intelligent people should be the shepherds of humanity, not stuck up selfish twats.
I don't look down to people. In the extreme, at the pool theres every so often some mentally handicapped young people and they somehow took a liking to me (I guess they can relate to me ) which I think is adorable and cool, it feels a bit awkward connecting but I don't look down on them, at all. I wonder if thats how I come across to someone with a stellar IQ

i mean, i constantly see folks here bashing on the illiterate folks just cuz they cant understand them, or rather they dont take the time to understand them, but that's not necessarily the fault of the illiterate.
you do understand that someone that is illiterate would not be posting on this website, a smart person would know this because it's as simple as defining the word illiterate which means 'unable to read or write'

i mean, being literate doesnt automatically make you smart, it just makes u sound smart. imho if u;re truly smart u'd be able to communicate with and understand anyone regardless of whether they use fancy words or not.
you keep using the terms literate and illiterate and dont seem to have an understanding of their meanings while trying to push it off on us about how smart you are... do you really believe at this point that you're smart?

Intelligence is not determined by the sum total knowledge an individual might have. There are a lot of very smart people who have ended up in unfortunate circumstances and don't know how to read, there are a lot of very smart people who are more adept in one area than another, sometimes disproportionately so and that may affect their level of literacy.
There's a famous quote attributed to Einstein(debated) that goes : 'Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.'
On the flip side, someone may be very intelligent but lack empathy or life experience to fully understand the struggles other people go through to learn.

Having enough self awareness to admit your idiocy indicates a level of intelligence that a shitload of people lack. You're not stupid, you're just an archetypal fool, and it indicates nonchalance, daydreaming, and unconventional thinking in favor of more practical things. I feel like I lost that part of me in the past couple of years and I really hope to find it again.
 
I'm an idiot too. I've made some ridiculous mistakes and I'll never run out of mistakes to make and learn from in this lifetime....... and I've made split-second decisions that have almost killed me and were SO dumb(not poor judgement just legitimately stupid) it's ridiculous and I question my ability to function at times. I also have a learning disability that kind of makes my thought process run backwards and it makes certain kinds of logical thinking really hard to grasp and there are times where I feel really stupid because everyone else around me can make sense out of something seemingly simple and I just can't, it is what it is .

Its a Rider Waite tarot deck, if you are interested. The original looks like this:

Its the archetypal tarot deck. Other decks have different representaitions like for instance this Hanson Roberts and Robin Wood:

I was pretty young when I first saw The People Under The Stairs. actually, really young. I never considered myself a Wes Craven fan, but I haven't watched anything of his in forever. Also my parents let me watch totally inappropriate movies all the time and then wondered why I called a group of boys in my 5th grade class "jizzbags" after seeing Death To Smoochy, but 99% of it went way over my head and was totally lost on me, so I guess I should give this one another chance eh.
And yah, I don't get into pseudo-science much, but tarot is a guilty pleasure. I love the art and the iconography. And confirmation bias is fun sometimes.

This is an awesome subject because I have observed for a long time that some "booksmart" people don't know much about real life or much outside an academic area. On the other hand a good amount of highschool dropouts that know a lot about life and the human experience. It's not always that way but it really changed the way I thought of "smart" and "dumb".

If you are good at school and academic stuff it means you are malleable. Not necessarily smart. It is a system that simply doesn't fit everyone.

I'm confused, are you insinuating a child grown up in isolation without any instruction would pick up on a formal language? French, english?
Maybe i'm taking this out of context, what exactly are we talking about here?

Now you are moving the goal posts. Language, as well as socialization, is an innate feature of humans. Positing a feral child with no human contact is ridiculous.

Yeah 1234go that's an entirely different scenario. I think what Koods and Zappa are trying to say is that the brain already has a built in processing/modulation system that allows you to automatically/unconsciously attribute meaning/grammar/syntax to the seemingly random noises that are coming out of people's mouths. For instance if I say, "I walked my dog this morning," you automatically picture someone walking a dog. You don't really have to think super hard about it or will it to happen. You don't hear what I say as complete gibberish or just pure sounds waves.
The thing about language processing is that you don't really get a say in the matter. The brain just automatically does it for you. Even if you wanted to processes what's being said to you in some other fashion, you simply can't, which is why people argue for its innateness

I wasn't "moving goal posts" or "positing" anything, lol. I was seriously asking because I'd realized I was thinking completely off base and out of context. Thanks for explaining Malcolm, I get it now.

The Rider-Waites are good decks..
But if you're into the new Aeon and shifting perspectives and all that, you might want to look into getting a Thoth deck. Crowley designed.
One attribution on the Tree has changed in accordance with the New Aeon of Horus, (as opposed to the Aeon of the Dying God.)
Basically all the same except for the now obvious fact that in this Aeon, "Tzaddi is not the Star".
Look it up, good reading.

Language is not an invention. Language is an innate, wired in feature of Homo Sapiens. Writing is an invention.
But doesn't writing have to do with the speech centers of the brain too? Language didn't always exist as it does now though right? Also what you consider language and what a dolphin consider language is very different but when the use of sounds is charted out all language forums a similar graphic. Much of why language is written the way it is, is to maintain correct pronunciations of words in speech. This language called English were using to communicate is an invention but communication it's self isn't. The language you speak also can greatly affect your world view.
Animal speech shows similarities to human language
Quote:
Killer whales whistle, finches twitter, and hyraxes wail. But all of these sounds have long been considered fundamentally different from human language—indeed, so different that scientists haven’t been able to find any intermediate evolutionary steps between animal calls and language. Now, a new study reveals that the calls of animals contain more languagelike characteristics than previously believed. Scientists reached this conclusion after analyzing the vocal sequences of seven species of birds and mammals, from Carolina chickadees to bats and orangutans. They found that animal vocalizations must be generated by complex statistical processes, making them more similar to human language. In the past, researchers assumed that a “Markovian” model best explained the vocal sequences in animal calls. According to this model, animal calls are fairly random and lack the complexity of human language. However, no one had actually tested the Markovian model on animal vocalizations until now. After applying it to the various species’ calls, the researchers report this week in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B that they found no evidence that animals’ vocalizations are restricted as the model would suggest. And that means the gap between human language and animal calls is not so wide after all.
Some of these things are not like the others but actually are.

Now are all my spelling and grammar errors on purpose?
