Ok, I just got done with the third clip. What a total dumbass. First he thinks he can hold all of the world in his head and that the super IQ people should have all the money funnelled to them so they could solve the world's problems....
....he goes on to say that he would stagnate human reproduction to only the "fittest" people, ie high IQ, no diseases, ect ect.....for some reason from his description of his childhood, under his new "regime" of priveledged breeding, his mother and biological father would have never been allowed to procreate, and thus, in the end, he would have never been born....
.....I guess he does not realize his own contradiction....
The fact that he scored 70+ points higher than Darwin should tell you something about IQ tests.
There was a science channel special on IQ tests. They took an IQ test expert, mixed him with an artist, a playwright, a musical prodigy, a physicist, and a few other people. They performed numerous different tests ranging from arts, general education, puzzles, etc etc. The physicist came in first, playwright second, and the IQ test expert came in third.
The point being; IQ tests are nothing more than 'Who can be the most clever under pressured circumstances?'
I'm not saying this guy isn't intelligent. I'm just saying he's not 'The smartest person alive'. The guy shouldn't even be labeled a genius. A genius is someone who takes something that is widely agreed upon, flips it, and changes everyone's mind.
That was the one on the BBC right? and i think the playright, an american living in England was actually joint 1st with the physicist. The intelligence tests were designed to measure real life, practical intelligence and the IQ test expert, who was well over 160 on measured tests had less practical intelligence than the playwright. I have often argued that IQ tests measures ones ability to take a test not actual living practical intelligence.

If you compare this guys theories and thinking to mad max, they're about the same. I dont expect you to get my correlation right off the start, for i have a high IQ. Ridicule me at your own discretion but mind you, I dont expect you to understand my interpretation.

Seems like a jackass to me. To say that Darwin's IQ was "way down in the toilet at 135" is disgusting and disrespectful. In regard to his theories on the existence of God, not all things are correlative, and even if they were, there is no way a human mind could ever be certain of it.

don't even compare bill gates to hawking. you're comapring a guy who "revolutionized" the computer industry by simply being more successful than other compeitors at buying people out and giving out his shitty software via deep pockets vs one of the most important natural scientists of all time.
bill gates has actually contributed far more to the world than hawking if you measure this in tangible benefit. I dont care much for supposedly genius academics who pontificate about about there proven theory i care about tangible benefits to mankind.

your post would be much more convincing if you weren't being so blatantly pretentious by using the word pontificate and then misusing there/their in the same sentence.

His IQ probably was though. It's not Darwin's fault, he was one the the smartest of his era. Times change people become smarter, it's evolution.
I agree he could be a little more respectful. But why should he be the only one respectful he's just like you or me and there's nothing but disrespect in this thread anyways.

I know whom you are talking about, Kim Ung-Yong, and he is not a boy, he is however far more of a candidate than langham who has not produced any tangible benefit.

Ok so i have misused their/there, fine? So assuming i did not, what would your point have been then? I cannot believe you are actually saying my point about tangible benefits would have been more convincing if i had correctly used their instead of there?
