>smartest man alive
>has done nothing with his life other than concoct some bullshit model of the universe that everyone laughed at
huh...guess this smart thing isn't all it's cracked up to be

He was smart enough to use his limited time on Earth for his own purposes instead of wasting it on trying to impress a midwit like you.

This guy just shows that IQ alone means dick when it comes to intelligence. There are clearly other factors at play of which IQ is just one.
>>
>>16799593
how do you even define intelligence?
>>
>>16799602
Not sure. It's a pretty gray and vague idea. There are some criteria we'd generally agree make a person intelligent but it's not exactly an ironclad argument or certainty. I've met college students that are fucking mongoloids and then random nobodies who were some of the wisest people I've known. Just one of those things where you know it when you see it I guess.
>>
IQ tests usually test ability to see patterns in data, but don't test the ability to deduce that there is no pattern. So we shouldn't be surprised that very high IQ could be associated with being a crackpot.
>>
>>16799621
>wisest
wisdom is a different stat than int in most video games
Int is kind of the booksmarts but wis is the world smarts

anyway if we are loooking for an all-encompassing definition of intellect it's gonna get weird
IQ is just one aspect
But take an artist, let's take Picasso for example
Let's say he has an IQ of 115, a midwit by 4chan's standard
Are we really gonna say that someone with a genius IQ of 140 who lives an irrelevant life is "smarter" than Picasso?

Charisma is another stat, both in video games and in real life.
I'm not particularly great with people.
I have to concede that even if I have a higher IQ, someone who is "good with people" has a form of intelligence I cannot easily attain.

Or take a pro athlete, who has amazing athletic skills, hand-eye coordination, blazing fast thinking to make decisions etc.
In his domain we look like mongoloids, even if we have higher IQ.

There are many aspects of intelligence, I think it is obvious, but I am looking for the definition of the set that encompasses all these aspects.

There has been attempts by scientists and ironically AI engineers to define this superset like
>Intelligence is the capacity to acquire, process, and adaptively apply knowledge and skills to solve problems and achieve goals across diverse contexts.

But still this misses out on some people, e.g. the wise guru who can see how situations will unfold before they even begin.

For me at the end of the day we are human, so our superskill is adaptation faster than evolution permits.
So that is what intelligence really is.
As such the most intelligent is the bard archetype. Jack of all trades.
Because he has the potential to adapt to any situation life throws at him.

People with high IQs don’t live an irrelevant life they are very prominent in research and make discoveries unless the research place they’re at take their soul and discoveries for private government research which Is hush hush
>>
>>16799743
not everyone with high IQ does that
there's genius level hobbos
>>
>>16799451
Yeah being smart doesn’t improve reproductive success so it’s not very useful, which is why I study AI, we need to end the intelligence scam.

For me intelligence is your ability to explain something to someone else. You can know all kinds of things but if you couldn’t communicate them in a clear, easy to understand way try knowledge you hold is useless

Oh, I'm "contorting" his "point"? Let's see.
>You can know all kinds of things but if you couldn’t communicate them in a clear, easy to understand way try knowledge you hold is useless
Communicate what things and to whom? Are we talking about the few things that blue collar retards like you already know? Or are we talking about the many things it would take you a decade of in-depth learning to get any kind of grip on? Are we talking about explaining them to intelligent people who grasp complex ideas quickly, or are we talking about blue collar retards like you who need infinite spoonfeding?
>>
>>16800543
>white people could, y'know, have more kids on their own...but they don't
Black people literally get paid by the government to make kids. Brown immigrants literally get paid by the government to bring their families here. I'd say that's pretty fucking nefarious.

high int is saving yourself and your remaining crew from the cyclop's entrapment by coming up with a clever plan involving a play on words, sheep hugging and elite level eye pokes

high cha is having the chutzpa and oratory skills to actually use the word play to confuse said cyclops and follow through with the bold plan, having the neighboring cyclops believe him gone loco

high wis would have been sailing away silently, not giving the cyclops your full name and address while boasting in case he has connections

He's pretty obviously very intelligent, but when I read CMTU it was utter crock. He wants to reinvent the wheel entirely, basically he seemed to have very little knowledge of already developed mathematics. The impressive part is that he independently made quite a few "discoveries" about formal logic systems on his own. The problem is they have already been "discovered" before him and developed by the collective intellectual labor of hundreds and thousands of people. In the end CMTU is essentially an indecipherable word salad with a few insights and solid concepts in the mix, but described only in this strange self-referential indosyncratic language he developed which only he understands.

No clue if this is true, but I recall there being an alleged interview where he admitted that he took multiple IQ tests and even studied for them ahead of time until he got the result he wanted. IQ tests aren't perfect and especially become less predictive if you keep taking them or if you try "studying" for them ahead of time.

>professor Dave
Uh oh, watch out! He's debunking!

I really do not care for him. I liked him more when he helped me with understanding calculus concepts and just did educational content. Not sure why he decided to become the establishment attack dog, viciously hunting down and "debunking" any and everyone who dares criticize the mainstream/establishment.
>>
>>16799451
Intelligence is not a static measure, it is constantly changing. Constantly scaling. How can one be the "most intelligent person" if our collective body of knowledge is constantly expanding? What's intelligence measured by then? Raw memorization of facts? Pattern recognition? Inference?

If this motherfucker is the smartest dude alive, I just want to know by what metric? What is it that makes him smarter than me, or Joe Buttfuck down the road?
>>
>>16800886
which of his first principles do you disagree with?
>>
>>16799602
Capability to process information.
The more intelligent someone is the more they're able to process information (adequately and with purpose)

That means they can use logic and reasoning to anticipate future events, use induction and deduction, etc..
Basically problem solving.

This "capability" can however be used in a vast range of use cases. An intelligent person can for instance be great at problem solving on a "street level" in pragmatic ways or good at organizing people. Or they can be great and data crunching and conceptual stuff.
>>
>>16800904
ok retard

>>16800922
Well for starters, his failure to distinguish between a mathematical set containing abstract objects and actual physical objects. He seemed to be under the impression that a "set" is an actual tangible object.
>>
>>16800983
Or I guess elaborating here, a general tendency of mistaking a map for the territory it is mapping. Several times in his "theory of everything" (which doesn't mean what he thinks it means), he played fast and loose with terms and used them in nonsensical ways and made several statements that don't mean anything. There is a difference between a mathematical model used to predict real world phenomena and the actual real world phenomena itself, but if you were to read CMTU you'd realize quickly that he doesn't understand that. He constantly throws around physics and mathematical terms that have actual formal definitions but in a manner that is essentially complete gibberish.

white people can get on the same exact benefits. no one's stopping you from living the welfare queen life.

>if we aren't allowed to have our own communities
? they absolutely exist. i grew up in a poor mostly white midwest town. there's plenty of mostly white HOA neighborhoods out there. sounds like you don't know a whole lot about the world beyond your basement.
>>
>>16801038
>they absolutely exist
They only exist conditionally until the moment shitskins decide to move in. Trying to resist this in an organized fashion has been known to result in armed ZOGbots coming to bash your face in. But you already know all this. You're just pretending not to because you're a troon, a kike or most likely both.

there will never be a true definition of "intelligence" because the nature of the term is ideological
it morphs depending on the state of society and what it values in mental abilities
maybe now it means someone who's really good at math or someone who has scored high in an IQ test
in the past it may have applied to someone who speaks very well or someone who has memorized the entirety of the Bible or who can simply read and write

even when the brain is "understood" and we start measuring it physically, it won't solve the problem of the definition of intelligence
I think we'll find that the results don't really map that well to the real world and that there's a lot more to it than just having a well oiled brain
