Is the difference between a mentally retarded person and a normal

>>8200406
What about a retarded genius?

>>8200406
No.

>>8200406
>le genius meme :-)

no such thing

>>8200430
why?

>>8200462
If there are people with brains that make them less mentally capable than others then wouldn't it be reasonable to assume there are people with brains that make them more mentally capable than others?

I used to be slightly bias against mentally retarded/arrested individuals, however upon realising that the average person is typically inept when it comes to reasoning and largely uneducated, I changed my stance.

Do I consider the difference between myself and the average person equivalent to the difference between said person and a mentally retarted individual?

No, the gap is smaller in relation to processing power and the potential for advancing cognitive abilities.

However, the gap still exists and the principle is identical, therefore I am no longer prejudiced against tards.

I see the majority of people as tards, who place along a tard spectrum of sorts.

The difference between a mentally retarded person and a normal person is the same as the difference between a normal person and an intelligent person.
The difference between a retarded person and an intelligent person is the same as the difference between an intelligent person and a genius.

naw

Chris is a brainlet.

It depends on context and how you measure the "ends of same", I think. The answer is "generally yes but not always". People with lesser cognitive ability have depreciating chances of making "leaps" or "revelations", so they're kinda stuck in the "i just discovered i can't pound square pegs through round holes" routine on a regular basis. People of average intelligence can surprise the fuck out of you, but you shouldn't hold your breath waiting for it to happen.

Yeah wtf, never even heard of this Langan guy seems like he's more of a brainlet than the average /sci/ poster.

>>8201096
He has a self-reported IQ of 210, yet he hasn't managed to achieve anything with it. He's your average /sci/entist.

>>8201105

>>8201096
He seems like the final evolution of pop-sci faggotry
From his wiki page:
>In a 2014 radio interview, Langan said that he has worked on the P versus NP problem and thinks he can prove that P does not equal NP.[20]

Yet he's never written a technical paper, or even fucking spoken in technical terms about anything as far as I can tell.

Pretty much, he also said he can prove the existence of God through mathematics
>mfw he doesn't give the mathematics to prove it

>>8201118
NP = God
Therefore
P =/= NP
Quod Erat Demonstrandum

>>8201132
NP = God
P = god
Therefore
P = NP
Quod Erat Demonstrandum

-1/12=-1/12

seems legit.

>>8201139
It sure does

What actually is the big deal about either conclusively showing that's true or false?

>>8201161
TRUE = it would mean a lot of shit. We could in theory make super advanced AI, solve complex problems that we can't at them moment, etc.
FALSE = not much will change, since we generally assume it's false, since we have never managed to make a single algorithm showing otherwise.

I have an iq of around 70-80, should i even bother having any intellectual pursuits?

>>8201118
Take your pedophile cartoons back to >>>/a/

>>8202261
Of course! Brain is very good at making itself better at anything, so if you want any "intellectual pursuits" then you can have them. Also, you shouldn't care about your IQ score, most of these tests are bullshit, especially those on iq test websites or in schools.
