> It's a bit of a pet peeve of mine when people claim to have memories prior to age three.

The house we lived in burned down when I was two and a half years old. I have a handful of memories from before the fire and certainly of the fire. They aren't super clear memories; I don't remember what I was thinking or feeling, but I remember doing certain things.

"smart" people are pissed at "dumb" people because we're all thinking with different brains on the same playing field. hyuck hyuck. smart people go round to stupid in different areas, like a figure eight. the ones who are really the smartest just sort of relax in time............

Society rewards intelligent people, but they have to work at it like everyone else. Read this thread and you'll see the same repetitive excuse:

"Well I am so smart, I just wasn't challenged enough so I never amounted to anything".

It's a cop-out excuse. it doesn't matter how smart you are, you still have to apply yourself and work to succeed..

And again, I note there is no political content in this thread... just people telling us how smart they are. This is a sociological topic, not a political topic. Off to The Pub with it.

I didn't bother to read the article but as an intelligent person, :grin:, I find myself to be unhappy due to being surrounded by a bunch of drunken idiots who are content with barely succeeding. The good thing for me is that I'm also charismatic, not something other intelligent people I know are. All the intelligent people I know are socially crippled in that they dress odd, are ugly, and have no confidence, perhaps as a result of the two aforementioned.

look at the links and download the pdf files and read them.


I've got two books by Bjerknes. He doesn't seem to distinguish between the theories of Lorentz and Poincare and Einstein, etc. They are slightly different. There's a lot of evidence that Einstein was deceptive and didn't give credit to his sources. Gerber and Hilbert apparently contributed to the General theory of relativity, but Einstein never gave them any credit.

I just had to comment on how silly you are. Id recommend you take a class on relativity before you read a home.comcast.net/jackoff website and claim to know what you are talking about. Lorentz, Poincare all did work in relativity. However this is nothing compared to what Einstein did.

There's different kinds of intelligence, and even the smartest people have some sort of mental block.

Different kinds of intelligence. And different kinds of success.

What is a measure of intelligence. A series of paper tests? An IQ test? I think that's the whole issue to begin with. Intelligence doesn't count if it can't be used for anything.

Intelligence doesn't and shouldn't gaurantee success.

Intelligent people tend to apply thought in lieu of action.

If you ask me the measure of a person's success gives more indication of intelligence than a piece of paper proven to be innaccurate by the biggest test of all... Life.

So, George W. Bush is more intelligent than, say, Marcel Proust?

He's a glitch in the matrix. :lol:

My point is that just because you are smart doesn't mean you will make use of it.  If you measure intelligence by how a person plays thier cards Bush seems like a genius.

Depends if they want to play the games of society or not.

Bush isn't a glitch in the matrix, he's a standard in this backwards ass system.. a shining example for all the half-breeds of the world.

If you measure intelligence by success as a species then the human race on Earth is probably one of the dumbest species on the planet. We're like a virus, to ourselves and the rest of the planet.. Smith was right. Just because we have the potential to be the most incredible and amazing creatures, does not give us that by default. Humans still do some amazingly dumb things.

What of the ability to adapt? Do the intelligent adapt slower than the Bush's and other half-breeds of the world? Or are intelligent people above society and happiness?

Intelligent people are probably in every level of society, from the street corner to the pulpit. That bum yelling on the street just might have a thing or two more intelligent to say than the guy on TV. As for ability to adapt.. I would say that is paramount to intelligence and most importantly, evolution. Adapt or Be consumed, it's the way of life and applies on just about every level methinks. I don't think I understand your last question.
