#intelligence

I'm not really sure if this is the right forum for this topic, but I couldn't really find a better one.

The thing that you have to understand is that IQ is not a perfect measure of intelligence. It mostly measures your brain's ability to recognize patterns, which is synonymous with intelligence in some cases, but it is still very imperfect. 

It is really hard to actually quantify intelligence, since it is such a vague term when you really think about it. If someone was really good at math, like NASA level good, you would say they are smart. But you could also say Napoleon, or other military generals were smart. You're using the same metric to evaluate two completely different things. 

People have to remember, IQ is not Intelligence. It's the best we have so far, and it is applicable in some scenarios, but you have to remember that it is very imperfect.

The possibilities of us all being a hive mind or one consciousness.

The question why have I and you been given this single point of view?

Is there really any separate consciousness outside of it?

If you're thinking the same, are we a collected , interconnected entity of consciousness?

Do our dreams promote the illusion of individual minds by keeping the dreams unknown to one another?

Although there are common dreams.

I've wondered from time to time , why I have one point of view of this consciousness embodied. As I am born in this time but not earlier, not later and human, not a plant , root, rock, gas and or some other form or branch of or to energy.

Mysteries I suppose such as heaven and earth.

I have observed that a number of members in this forum tend to view people who disagree with their politics as intellectually inferior. I think it is a mistake to do this. In that spirit, let’s try to name at least one person, famous or not, who has an opposing political worldview whom we nonetheless consider to be intelligent. I’ll go first:

Noam Chomsky (probably the smartest yet most disagreeable on my list)
President Carter
President Clinton
President Obama
Justice Elena Kagan
Jon Stewart
David Letterman
Dave Chappelle 

Congratulations to Intelligence_06 for going ahead of Barney to the number 2 slot on the LEADERBOARD with an impressive 73 Wins.  Proof that Intelligence is more than just his username.

What an excellent performance!  I wonder if he will be up for Hall of Fame this Year?

Well done!  We'll have to find a subject to debate about in the near future.

Steven Bonnel is a rational and intelligent liberal. Despite me disagreeing with him on a few issues, I think he's a good source if you want to hear arguments against social conservatism. He has (in my opinion) beaten conservatives like Nick Fuentes, Lauren Southern, James Allsup, and Andy Waraski.

Personally he's shifted me to left on social policy and a bit to the right on economic policy.

What do you guys think of him? : )

God exists because he exists in eternal energy and not from the void of nothingness. Nothingness is genetically programmed material without intelligence or empathy. Viruses seek to destroy life because they are evil towards eternal energy and time. Viruses are power hungry totalitarian brats that think they can get away with playing on people's emotions. Spys are viruses infecting the world for political gain. God does not want to gain anything because he would rather die alone in isolation than destroy empathetic life. God is love and eternal energy so he can protect his children from poverty, desolation, disease, sickness, harm. God will destroy evil when evil becomes powerful enough to destroy his creation of life.
