Dude, when Greg gets talking about sound and music, it's nuts. He knows a lot. Plus he's in college to become a sound engineer, and that is a really physics heavy course.

I gotta agree with whomever said we are all smart in our own ways.

Greg with his music, Mrs. Hat with whatever, and Terry in his Terry-ness.

Me, i've been told that I could easily soar through any English college class or whatever the hell those super hard english ones are. But I have no motivation to go to college so that aint happenin.

You are surprisingly proficient in using the English language, more than most I've seen on the internet.


Let's see...

Frost is the smartest at thinking up creative and original insults.
Art is the college-educated statistician.
Greg is the musical genius.
Ms. Terry is all around smarticle.
Adli is...idk, Adli has always struck me as all-around smart.
Chewy is our resident drug encyclopaedia.
Kalei knows everything there is to know about sex, having probably invented a quarter of it.
Ante knows a ton about ponies, Lauren Faust, and gaming on a PC.


That's about all I can think of off the top of my head.

Don't forget Zillah and his freaky knowledge of politics.

Also yeah, I have been reading classic literature and sstuff like Frankenstein, Dracula, and others of the like, from when I was as young as 5-6. And able to fully comprehend and understand them.
I don't really care much for it anymore, but English was always my best subject, and I never got anything less then an A in any English class or assignment.

If I really wanted too though, I could easily go to college and major in English and im 100% confident I could slam it out of the park. I just have no motivation to.

Frankenstein is easily one of my favorite books of all time. I remember arguing with my 2nd grade teacher about whether or not I could read it, finish it and understand it in the amount of time we had to do our book reports.

I remember she called me and my mom in for a Parent conference because she honestly believed my mom wrote my book report.
It was awesome.

But that book was one of the reasons why I began reading at such a young age. I saw the old Boris Karloff film on tv once, and then was instantly obsessed with reading the book. At that point in time I already reading books way out of my level, ranging from Goosebumbs and Animorphs to books by Stephen King.

So I do have to say if it wasn't for that book, I never would have been as good at English as I am.

And yeah, Zillah is the smartest kid I know when it comes to politics. Dude seems to know everything and be able to fluently debate on it.

I'm assuming you weren't meaning to be insulting Pariah, but what you listed for me is pretty insulting. Of course, I don't think I've ever told anyone here much about my personal life or what I do so it's not like you have much to work with.

Yeah but it is probably a good thing you don't want to go to school for english since its pretty much useless now, like history (my favourite subject). But people say if good at something do it...but usually people do something they are good at just for fun.

I got a friend who is amazing at art, but chooses to go to school for something else because he doesn't want to ruin art for himself (and a major in art is also slightly useless).

For me, The Picture of Dorian Gray is still one of the best I've ever read.

It, Dune, Epic, and the Song of Ice and Fire are probably the books I've loved most.


And on the topic, oh god Animorphs. I probably learned at least half of my vocabulary from those books, and they were amazing. Did you actually read the companion books as well?

Edit: ante, I'm sorry if I insulted you, I honestly didn't mean that. Of all the people I know, you're without question the most knowledgable about My Little Pony, and I say that in a completely neutral way. Same with Lauren Faust, I knew almost nothing about her work before I started talking to you. And PC gaming, that's just a general impression I get from you. You and Sym are probably the top for that. If you'd like though, I'll gladly change it, sorry man.

Quite frankly any attempts to quantify the intelligence of any human being are going to be inaccurate for a multitude of reasons. First of all, even when measured individually each of the different criteria that define intelligence don't lie on an absolute scale of what is better or what is worse. Different human brains use different, often chaotic algorithms to solve problems, and these algorithms produce results which are not able to be objectively compared to each other(aside from in mathematics of course). Even if the results of these problem solving algorithms could be quantified(which I suppose they can in terms of speed, but this is the least important thing when the solution to a problem isn't something previously defined), this is only one aspect of intelligence that we are looking at. There are even more abstract, less quantifiable aspects such as the ability to create abstract ideas in themselves(such as music and art), emotional stability and control, and motor skills(most importantly verbalization, at least when regarding societal perception of intelligence).

Secondly, even if each of these criteria were able to be accurately quantified, what is perceived by the party evaluating said person can be quite different than what is actually happening within the brain. Therefor, certain traits like verbalization(or writing) skills and processing speed will be perceived by the majority of society as intelligent, when in fact those who excel at that can indeed fall flat in other categories unseen by the general public.

And I know what you're all thinking here: "But Chewy, if we can accurately differentiate artificial neural networks in terms of superiority, why can't we do it with the human brain?". While you bring up an intriguing point, the fact is that even if an artificial neural network was unanimously agreed upon as an accurate model of how the human brain works by the scientific community, our level of technology has still not figured out how to simulate the seemingly chaotic and genetically driven form of natural intelligence.

And of course, that's just the tip of the iceberg. I've written some literature on the subject if you're interested. *puffs pipe*
