P.S., I have a philosophy degree. I'm not telling you that as a means of asserting superiority or anything .... in fact, the training to think self-critically and "philosophically" at the highest level is very difficult, since we have to break our from our "normality". The result is that I can't help doing it. OK, I don't have to do it, but epistemology was my favourite subject. That's, sort of, the formation and comparison of ideas about things like knowledge, truth and belief.
The word philosophy appears in the title of my last college degree, too. It means nothing, except that my IQ (if such a thing exists) is probably above 90.
They're people over there whose ideas are better than the ideas of their teachers.
Is this American Jeopardy show shot this week? This guy with 480 k already? Would be very sad if such a champion forces the show off the air, I like that show especially the cryptic clues
one be dumber, one be smart

nah, that and he KNOWS what they WANT him to say. he probably gets out of it all the time to escape his own photographic memory.
sounds like a fun life but maybe not.
gl, am sure your mind is full of all sorts of minutiae and people you wish weren't really there : D
Das ok, at least you're not sweetness and light all the time, that would be illogical
Am editing this to say: It would be such an INANE response to such an effed up planet and species that it would indicate complete psychopathy.
Yah well it's amazing what lack of guns in your vicinity can do to your emotional dev : )

Also just to add an even weirder dimension to this discussion, ever since I started watching many bird experiments on line, have been sure that you could teach a bird to play chess, would take serious time but especially with a few pieces it could be possible.
There is a species, is it a nut hatch? That remembers the 100 hiding places of its winter food buried in the snow every year, and Even retrieves the food items in the same order it hid them in! How amazing is that.
The term they use for that is episodic memory.
Funny story, though:
when 949 was a partner in an architecture firm, my partner runs into my office, slams an IQ test on my desk, and says, “you’ve got 20 minutes, starting NOW!” 949 had no clue what was going on, but plowed through the test. I find out later, my partner was trying to force the test on me so he’d end up with a higher score, too funny! His score was 135.
He had all our employees take the test, and they scored between 100-125. On a person-by-person basis, you could see it. IQ matters, it’s not that dubious, as some posters are claiming. But we had one employee who scored an amazing 140! Her’s was the second highest score for our entire company. 949 is very proud of what she’s achieved over the last decade.
I am assuming the highest was your's.

You can predict someone's IQ just by looking at how he acts. How surprising.
It seems on every list that countries like Hong Kong, Japan, China, Singapore and South Korea stands out as 5-10 points higher than most countries when it comes to average IQ.
That being said. If you took a test after you're been told that you lost your job and will be bankrobbed you will score way lower than if you're told you won a million dollars. If you worry you will score lower.
Richer countries often score higher. As children they get toys as lego and puzzlegames at a very young age, it develops higher IQ. Children from alot of african countries doesn't get these toys. But if they was newborn in let's say Singapore the case could be a different matter.
When I worked as a seaman in China, Singapore etc the people onboard mainly from Norway, USA and UK always complain how stupid does "Charlies" was. Funny, since norwegians scores at avg. 98-103 and americans at avg 96-99. So maybe they should be adviced to keep quiet.

I've met many pricks in my lifetime. They despised me because of my high IQ.
How would a philosopher KNOW that they were being completely objective about "thinking philosophically at the highest level" ?
