0 Izzy Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 Having an incredibly high IQ just means he has more potential than most people. I refuse completely to refer to this man was the world's smartest. He's wasting his life. I don't care if school didn't challenge him. It doesn't challenge me. It's called suck it up, sleep through it, get a degree, and get an awesome job that matters.. Any 'genius' should see that. ..This dude is such a waste. Someone with this much potential rarely comes around, and... he does.. nothing. He thinks. Well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Izzy Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 Oh man, you know what I've just realized? I'm pretty sure someone of such an IQ is at least mildly interested in brain teasers/puzzles. So sir, Mr. Langan, if by chance you've read what I posted above, I want you to know in no way am I apologizing. Please sir, just do something that will help mankind? You've got the potential, no doubt. You're also a middleaged, overweight, American. That doesn't say much for your mortality. Just.. dude. Please? ..For the children of America*? ;D? *Geez, did I actually just say that? Ah well. But seriously, do something! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His IQ is ranged between 190-210.He seems to be a Mr. know it all, who will not let you win an argument, even if you are right. He may have some type of a mental problem and I would not be surprised if he'd been in jail for a long time. I knew someone similar. They are trouble in a bar.

0 andromeda Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 Hahahaha... I think he's absolutely awesome!!! I don't think he should help mankind, we don't deserve it! <_< I like some of his ideas, especially the one about population control! I love his voice, it's very soothing... I could listen to him for hours... It would be great if he joined BrainDen!!! Not to solve riddles, but to make them! And last but not least... bell curve hahaha...

0 Izzy Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 Smoking is population control. The only one of his ideas I can see myself agreeing with is making higher the standard for the average person's intelligence. ..And that's only because I thought of it ages ago as part of my plan to take over the world. Ahem. >_> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the special came out and has received criticisms such as your own I really have begun to put things into perspective. I am currently in phase 3 trials for a product that I truly believe will improve life on this earth as we know it. The working name is the "Finglonger" (Patent Pending) and it will really revolutionize how we reach things. I am not Chris Langan, I am MDAri. The Finglonger was invented by Hubert Farnsworth of Futurama fame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Izzy Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 I've downloaded it, begun reading it, but will not read it any further. Basically 'cos it's all bollocks, especially the bit about Intelligent Design. ID (for those unfamiliar with it) asserts that most biological systems are far too complex to have arisen naturally. None of the claims of ID have ever been published in respectable scientific journals, or stood up under any sort of scientific testing. One of the bigger arguments against ID, as stated by Richard Dawkins, the eyes of vertebrates are wired backwards. Other animals have their eyes wired more rationally. Eyes are not designed. They developed several times, different times, as evolution took place. There's loads of other arguments, that being the simplest to understand from what I've heard. If you want more/are not convinced, PM me and we can debate it. Dinner's just arrived... Honestly, I think this guy just wrote this attempting to use the most confusing vocabulary there is (and failed - I understood most of it, and my vocab sucks), hoped no 'real' scientist would look into it, and got away with it. I've changed my mind. I'll read into it. And disproof every last year. Chinese food now! I'm off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you two meet for you to explain to him all the mistakes he had made in his work... throw something at him and depending on the hand he'll use to catch that object (assuming it's not a bullet) you'll know whether he's lefty or righty.

0 Izzy Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 Heh, that doesn't work with me either. I let things thrown at me hit me, and then tell people off for throwing them. One time I got hit in the head with a metal box, thinking it was a pillow, and my head started bleeding like hell. I freaked out, got my mom, and she thought I was joking.

0 andromeda Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 (edited) Well buy their favorite candy and one more thing, and this is very important... when you're about to throw it, warn them and say "Catch!"

0 Izzy Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 I've just asked my mom. I began talking at 8 months. My first word was Kaba (chocolate milk..) and my first sentence was "Snee all!" (Snow gone/empty). She couldn't remember when I started speaking in complete, proper sentences, but apparently whenever I was thinking, I'd look straight ahead, touch my pacifier, take it out, say what I had to say whilst making eye-contact, put it back in, and wait for a response. I kind of want to discuss this guy in the Atheism Thread. Anyone up for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 itachi-san Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 I'd like to see this guy have a back and forth with a physicist of Stephen Hawking's caliber and see who grasps reality better... but I guess not many of those scientists go to his bar or his ranch. It's one thing to be able to understand and process things at a high level, but it's a totally different thing to actually come up with important, ground-breaking theories, experiment and prove them. This guy may have a quick mind, but he lacks the key essence of a "smart" person: creativity. If he had that, he wouldn't be such a hypocrite. He speaks of how intelligent people should rule and make the toughest decisions for the good of mankind (which is a reasonable notion IMO) but then he lives a life that puts him in absolutely no position currently or in the future to have a large-scale effect on mankind. I think he's right in saying that people of high mental processing skills have a responsibility to better our race and the world, but if he's the "smartest" one of us, he's setting a poor example if this is all he has to offer. In a word: weak. <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BNo matter what test you give to measure intelligence there will always be someone like yourself trying to disprove it . "Plus IQ really doesn't tell how smart you are," Please construct a measuring construct to find the true measure of intelligence. Intelligence does come in many different forms, however the ultimate universal measure for intelligence capacity is the IQ test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
