im only 20 iq pts behind a man (einstein) who debunked the majority of physics by thinking about trains. And seeing as physics deals with true complexity and other science do not, its even more reasonable for a 140 to be able to trash your kind than it was for a 160 to trash physics ;)
if ur iq was above 140 u wouldnt be as butthurt about the concept of a 140 hyp grad lurking this beta barn..
so the logical conclusion is that ur iq is lower than 140 (possibly much lower)
if you met me in real life you would instantly be blown into a world where all that mattered was getting me to acknowledge your existence and even hopefully be your friend... But i would probably find you to be a desperately uninteresting person and want you to exit my awareness as fast as possible.
the fact that i dont lie about my iq is what gives me the edge necessary to call you an inferior little girl who couldnt understand basic physics, and BE RIGHT ABOUT IT.
honestly if i woke up one morning and for some reason my thinking capacity had devolved to your level, it would take me less than 5 min to run to the kitchen and slit my throat...
maybe your going to tell me u work at goldman..
but ud still be way inferior, as is anybody who projects their iq to be higher than it is..
maybe thats the point, inferiorboy ;)

/pop/sci, I was wondering where your thread was

Just stop this nonsense already. Mathematician might be good at math, bu he definitely suck at programming. Programmist can't do medicine. Surgeon can't do engineering. Every particular problem requires particualr learning. You can't be smart in general.

People who said that he is smart actually prove that he is stupid. Remember what Socrate says: "I know that I know nothing"

I think chess players are a valid inclusion.

Listen to Garry Kasparov talk, you can just tell he's an intelligent dude.

The raw intellectual ability they have could be applied to anything, they just focused on chess.

Jesus, I haven't been to What's New recently, so I haven't seen this yet. Tao, cmon senpai, what are you doing? Is he already getting to the age where he's becoming "le science man (usually physicists) who voices his opinions as fact on topics unrelated to his work"?

I'm honestly very disappointed. And judging from people like >>8140132 who have no idea just how great a mathematician Tao is, it's a very bad impression for him to give.

Holy shit, he's basically just a pop-science icon, not a super well regarded scientist (I mean, he doesn have the PhD, but he's not at this level).

> Chris Langan

Wow, it just got worse. He's basically just a con artist using poorly defined terms and generalities to form ideas that can't be easily dispelled. I imagine if he didn't do this, everyone would see through CTMU. There's a reason that none of the experts really agree with him.

> Terrence Tao

He should be like top 8, easily. I know he's like 2nd highest for IQ, though IQ obviously has issues as a measure of intelligence.

>>8141324

its funnier how you can't even say why you like him. I feel sorry for you trashkid.

There is also a high correlation of being under lots of stress and going crazy or becoming famous and going crazy.

Can someone enlighten me what is the scientific contribution of Hawking other than making popscience videos and books?


I only know of Hawking radiation.

Chris Langan:

1.) Tested only 1 time, in an irregular testing environment (not monitored), by an unqualified tester, who was already a confessed fan of his

2.) Never took the test again

3.) His claims about his SATs could not be verified, nor could any of his claims about his higher academic learning

4.) He uses logical fallacies and neologisms, which indicates he's a pathological liar with high narcissism

5.) He has never contributed to society and his wife (major depressive that worships him) paid for their ranch

6.) MENSA does not recognize MEGA as a legitimate organization

Real, credible IQ tests max out fairly low due to the lack of sufficient sample sizes to establish a reliable statistical distribution, and the results will be invalidated by too much exposure to the testing methods (i.e. if you study IQ tests, you can get high scores on them). Crazy high scores come from "high-IQ enthusiast tests".

Langan isn't so much a super-smart guy as a guy who's obsessed with IQ tests and posing as a genius, without being able to back it up. He doesn't do ANYTHING that requires or demonstrates exceptional intelligence.

IQ scores showing that someone's within a standard deviation of the mean, at least two standard deviations below, or at least two standard deviations above, are pretty reliable indicators of mental retardation, adequate but unexceptional intellectual ability, and being at least rather clever, respectively. Scores between one and two standard deviations from the mean are ambiguous results: a guy with an IQ of 75 can be surprisingly adequate, and one with an IQ of 125 can be surprisingly average in their performance on tasks, an 80 can be shockingly stupid, and a 120 can be brilliant, while a 90 or a 110 are rarely either.

Super-low scores tend to come from a different system, based on observed ability to speak, to learn basic tasks, and as such are pretty reliable.

Super-high scores are untrustworthy. Nothing means much above 130, let alone above 145. This is the territory of loose statistical associations on large populations, not useful information about the particular individual.
