My own concept of intelligence has changed over time. When I was a kid I used to believe that people who had good grades were intelligente, then when I became a good student on my own I noticed it doesn't has much to do with having the ability to understand things easily, if we are talking about the general human population, but with habits of study and environment.

Nowadays I believe that people who are truly intelligent must be also effective, that is, they have success in whatever they do, but even then there's a lot of factors other than sheer merit.

intelligence should be described as some measurement of the amount of information an organism is able to intake from the universe.

I think you misunderstood the questions. They're not about smart people or stupid people, they're about the actual ability for an organism to comprehend abstract concepts. Do you think that as a species we could be limited in this aspect forever, simply because of how our brains developed, or could what we perceive as intelligence actually be something entirely different to a true intelligence?

>>8738686

Intelligence is comprehension more than knowledge, memory, or perception. Though, I will grant that perception must play a part in intelligence. As humans, we are limited to a very small spectrum of the overall amount of energy in the universe, which means we struggle to comprehend vast scales of both time and space, and are the result of evolution at a specific scale. Even if we create machines to overcome our flawed senses, we still may not have the right cognitive faculties to advance beyond a certain point. Like taking two different paths, and one leads to a dead end, while the other continues on indefinitely, we may have taken the dead end with our own intellectual evolution.

Daily reminder that if you go to school/college/university ur a btainlet

I do eight hours a day, seven days a week. Each day also comes with two hours free time at the end of the day I normally use for extra study.

So:
>8*7=56
>10*7=70

Get on my level.

Feudalism and the divine right, it conflicts with science. Hence the resistance from the established order against the Renaissance and the Enlightenment.

dude "math" lmao

>>8738266
a taylor series is an equation you NOOB

>>8738266
The bessel function used to only be able to be expressed in terms of a taylor series until we gave it a name. Thus one just has to wait for the solution to beconr important enough to define a new closed form solution.

Immigrants from the election cycle. They came for the memes and stayed to our collective woe.

Don't you know anon everyone here has 145 iq and is the next Nobel winner.

>>8736972
There is no /sci/ approved online iq test with proper cutoffs as of now.
So there is no way to know.

how did you do in high school?
are you interested in STEM?

>>8736907
if you don't like doing it in your spare time, don't major in it.

Most guys go into engineering because they liked taking stuff apart and figuring out the HOW. (figuring out how something works, designing something)

Most guys go into physics/chemistry because they liked figuring out the WHY. (asking questions, creating hypotheses, doing academic research)

Most guys go into math because they liked the rigor of solving and proving math stuff. (proving something logically)

Don't do it man I did it and it's awful.

It makes you a special kind of dead-inside person surrounded by the sick and deranged for which there is no cure and also patients that are pretty fucked.

Don't believe the hype, a moderately paid desk job doing excel sheets is not so bad after all.

I'm specializing in sports medicine and want to be a practicing non-surgeon orthopedist. I have a few ins within the field and can probably work with D-1 athletes fresh out of school.
