Nah in all honesty i don't consider myself that smart, i've done a lot of dumb stuff and i'll probably continue to do so.

Chewy wrote: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*

Not quite sure what you're referring to.

I'm simply attempting to articulate the fact that the inner machinations of the mind are an enigma.

I'm in the same boat gilly.I do so much stupid stuff out of sheer boredom or simlpy for lolz. That I just warp people's basic image of me.

Quite funny.

And yeah another reason I ain't going to college for English is because it's useless in this age. Unless you become a teacher or professor. Which isn't me at all
