GENIUS FORUMS

Humorous piece on serious topics. The speed at which data is mined and processed now - real privacy is virtually dead.

Oxy Everything you said is completely correct, and I agree that NOTHING is being done. If anything it is only getting worse, I can't imagine how much longer our species survives at this rate. So then how do we give people this understanding? How do we free them from a system that is designed to hol...

Tenver- I trust that truth knows for better or worse So how does such a thing (truth) make an assessment as a conscious being does? Truth: the true or actual state of a matter, conformity with fact or reality, a verified or indisputable fact. NobodyListens2Genius - but the universe definitely knows...

Take a chill pill. It's always been like this. Genie. Wake yourself up first. True - in a basic sense This person is waking up - or trying to stand up - in an idealistic way. I was thinking we move away from complete government regulation, toward freedom. I'm thinking over idealistically here, but ...

Okie dokie. Seems like a semantic difference to me. One of the variations of an old self contradiction premiss. Can you be more specific? Help me to resolve inconsistency. Some of it was. No. I have very important reasons why. Despite the "free speech" mantra in the US, in many ways, it i...

Because it keeps me busy. Which is of value (relative worth, merit, or importance) to you. Sure, but I was trying to make a joke. I'm not disagreeing with anything your saying, yet I feel like I'm being pulled into some sort of argument. All concepts are abstracted constructs Yes, that was my point...

[quote Tenver-] It is the non-negligible duty to put in to the world what you have in your mind. In that way, you could say it is a moral affair. It is the act of choosing to put forth what you see - in your mind or put before you in reality. It is a duty and privilege.[/quote] negligible: so small,...

This just makes me feel old. One of the variations of an old self contradiction premiss. I like the lead in though - "There is no value in anything. A concept of value must be constructed." "A concept of value must be constructed" All concepts are abstracted constructs. Value: re...

I see your point, though my experience involves me seeing stuff, not being capable of overcoming strong feelings . I'm somewhat if not greatly hyper-sensitive in addition to other traits, so when my LoveShy tendencies stop me from doing the most important 'thing' for me ultimately, (literally the a...

Just a thought...maybe there is some fundamental element, like being able to see the thin layer of civility covering this beautiful yet ugly world, that might begin to explain the correlation between the higher a person's I.Q. is, the more likely they will suffer from depression and may even attemp...

Context is the issue. I do not care about faulty abstraction. The Godel topic will give me a headache. Not for lack of understanding. Nor an inability to make my the point. Just too tiring to run down. I made the fantasy remark so I will elaborate on my position: It has to do with context errors, th...

No - I actually have problems with some of his work, but I get your point.

I am not a regular here - and - not spiritual. I just drop in on different forums from time to time. The topic of Einstein always gets something going. Can't say as I have read any threads, about him here - or his work. I have a big problem with some of it - which has led to some of what I like to c...

Hi all, Where is the greener grass for a genius? Not reading through all the replies. It exists only in your mind. When you create - when you achieve. The value of these is the "greener grass" - and the only real uncorrupted value to have / experience. The only other thing is sharing the ...

I wonder if any Geniuses who happen to frequent this forum would be willing to share with the less gifted of their brethren what constitutes at the core the mind of one possessing superior intelligence. (1) Basically what makes a Genius? Is the Genius a type that from birth is biologically predeter...

Addressing the original post: You have a serious flaw in part of your thinking. It is the acceptance of a faulty premis - leading to faulty conclusions. You need to rethink what the term "reality" means, and what you are addressing.

This is just a heads up. Good luck in your lifetime.

No drug or supplement will help you learn faster. A consistent healthy lifestyle is your answer. Keeping your physical being healthy and fit. The brain is an organ in your body. All your organs are affected by the level of efficiency of the body. Exercise, eat well, and get adequate rest. A person w...

Oh no - I am cut to the quick... LOL

Way to address lazy grammer as opposed to the point. Misdirection ...nice.

Not to pour water on the response, but an over active mind that is not effectively focused is like an over revving engine. It can over heat and seize up. That said being more effective / efficient then your environment allows / requires, is wasted (outside of personal satisfaction). So being effecti...

I don't think so. The 150 IQ guy probably wouldn't get bored easily and he'd probably finish faster (at moving a stack of bricks) than the 100 IQ guy. But keep in mind, we're talking about a task which is new to both. If, let's say, the 100 IQ guy was a professional brick stacker and the 150 IQ guy...

The original question: Yes - in real terms.
How much depends on specific things. Will not discuss further. Choose wisely - Odds are not good.
Good luck.

People don't exist in a way choice is possible.
Actually, there's no one here.

You should not waste your time engaging me.

You can go on any forum, mensa if you wish, but the same truth remains: Right or wrong in the context of any situation / challenge, is the only thing that matters. All else is just would be emperors, knitting invisible clothing. Meh, we could go on deconstructing this forever. Is there really a rig...

But, I argue, you are arrogant, because you created a forum for "geniuses" of which you are the admin. Therefore you are the King of the Geniuses! The boss! The top dog. You can go on any forum, mensa if you wish, but the same truth remains: Right or wrong in the context of any situation ...
