Whatever I thought about my IQ has taken a hit as the deer outsmart me day after day while I’m carrying a rifle in the woods. Even the turkeys seem to know when I’m carrying a shotgun, as they only show themselves when I am not.

QFT

(Quoted For Truth) Been there, done that, many, many times.

 

QFT (Quantum field theory) Klein Gordon equations, Higgs field, all adds up with the Casimir effect and Lamb shift. Dolly the sheep has arrived at the very presence of discrepancies in the hydrogen p and s orbitals, so quantum field theory definitely deviates from biology. Most DEFINITELY.

It never was. At least not since the Neolithic Agricultural Revolution.

It is possible that Paleolithic peoples died quickly if they lacked common sense. Yuval Noah Harari asserts as much in Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind (2014)

Sky diving is extreme High stakes gambling.

I like jumping to conclusions and flying off the handle.

ArgoNavis

I decided to explore the futile side of life, and I still haven't finished.

Chess for fun and forget about the world, poker for making money. Master that game and work will be something for the lesser minds. (I joke....but seriously

Better to report silently if you suspect something and not make a scene/ feed a supposed troll.  I'm a new user here but I appreciate the neighborhood watching,  good practice.  

Sure. Trolls need to eat too. Your appreciation is appreciated.  Just watching and sharing repeating patterns...

I would say find something that interests you and pursue it other than chess. I am pretty sure that even grandmasters do not just sit in there house 24/7 with chess.

Can you share what your hobbies are? Also, do you know what the hobbies of the smartest people are? Finally, what is a great hobby to make good money? I have heard that chess tournaments don't pay much, so I was wondering how you guys pay your bills with your brain folds.

 

I want to hear SERIOUS answers, so please don't troll my topic. The admin can delete the same topic I posted in "Off-topic" by accident. Thanks!

Writing best sellers is a lucrative hobby.

Yeah I can see why

I wanted to inquire on those hobbies but I see the person is gone. I'm curious what was said to get banned.

 

Isn’t it blatant that the chess.com moderators got overly humbled by the extraordinarily high IQ? Or perhaps they have a certain restriction on the upper bound of Intelligence Quotient when it comes to owning an account on chess.com?

or do you feel intimidated by not really knowing?

Or was I making a whimsical remark? Open to interpretation of course

I go to auctions and buy furniture, ceramics and paintings as a bit of a hobby.  I like second hand shops and second hand books.  I work full time.  I am a teacher.  We run an equestrian centre - we have 20 + horses at livery at ours.  We make hay.  We have properties rented out.  Chess is just something I spend time doing - I've just started playing - it really suits me - I love chess.com - I can play when I want - with whom I want.  I'm just average IQ I guess - but it takes my mind off things and when I can't sleep it is 'open all hours'.
