I once heard a PhD say that for every 1 genius American, there are 4 genius Indians/Chinese/etc.

I used to not want to go into math because the thought of prodigies made me horribly depressed.

>>9016695
And still there are less than 1/10^6 geniuses. (1 a million seems fair)

The point is there's a lot of jobs, and if all of them were given to "geniuses" and the "geniuses" wouldn't be lazy or anything, there still would be a >LOT of stem jobs to go around

i hate these fucking lame ass ''young adults'' who are worthless sacks of shit with rich parents and think they've accomplished ANYTHING to the world. he wen to princeton day school, it has an endowment of 43 million USD. most likely, he had connected parents that connected all the dots in his life. now he thinks he's a genius. child prodigies i understand, mother fucker is 21 and haven't come up with anything that the world will remember him for. here's a prodigy.

How exactly was this proven? Being "smart" doesn't mean shit until you do something with it. Feynman supposedly had a pretty normal IQ and there are many who were "smarter" than him and contributed nothing.

A mathematical prodigy that was rejected from the MIT/Harvard/Stanford/Princeton/Penn/Yale/Columbia/Cornell/Yale/Dartmouth of his day. He wasn't taken seriously either. How ironic is it that a kid that is from a rich family is given more opportunities in life than a literal prodigy?

he was probably smarter than you as a kid he was already fixing adults radios among other science experiments

Feynman didn't have average intelligence, this meme is retarded. he was a putnam fellow, and did very well academically.

why is sci more obsessed with fame than most celebrities

why is sci obsessed with IQ when it's a psychological subject which sci does not consider science

>>9016717

>nuh uh he's smarter than you
>he fixed adult radios as a kid dude

ok, he still scored a 125 on an iq test, normal. he's smarter than everyone here not because of what he scored on an iq test and not because he was fixing radios as a kid.

There are more Chinks and Indians than Americans.

125 is inaccurate for him. IQ scores aren't always accurate. Even testers admit this.He'd be at 150+.

Sure 125 is probably inaccurate, he still scored that on a test. They're were still people "smarter" than him who accomplished less, just as there are people with actual intelligence in the 130 range who accomplish more in their fields than high-iq-tards.

My point being, what you do with your intelligence is what matters.

>>9016744
You don't get it. 125 isn't accurate, regardless of it being an official score it isn't accurate. You are a fucking retard for being so narrow minded and putting so much trust in IQ scores.

>>9016748
You don't get it. 125 may not have been accurate, but how far off was it? Not 75 points, certainly Siddis had a higher iq than Feynman, but who accomplished more? Would you say Siddis, no Feynman was.

Just like this social justice faggot is not smarter than Terence Tao, regardless of his IQ.

>>9016744
He took a retarded IQ test and that's the score.
Had that been a test about mathematics he would have iced it.
IQ test are only good for failure in life who don't have real life accomplishments and need something to brag about.

>>9016752
I will no longer respond to you. You put too much stock in IQ scores. IQ scores aren't that accurate or meaningful for highly intelligent people. Feynman would be in the very least the 150-160 range. Even that range is about the ceiling of most IQ test. Which means the scores become meaningless at that point. Feynman's true IQ score would be whatever ceiling of whatever the IQ score report is. No IQ test worth their salt even measures anything beyond 160. So Sidis being 200 makes no sense. Feynman was a genius, His 125 score doesn't mean anything, it isn't accurate. Plus, high IQ kids develop into their IQ potential later than lower IQ plebs like you. Don't bother replying to me. I won't respond.

God at math aside, he still scored a 125. If someone who scored a 140 accomplished even a quarter of what Feyman did, that person would be smarter than many people who scored higher.

Similarly, even if this kid scored higher than Tao on some test, he is not smarter than Tao.

>>9016695
>I used to not want to go into math because the thought of prodigies made me horribly depressed.

Lol. There's also going to be hundreds of your peers who are not prodigies, not geniuses and still noticeably smarter than you and the more you advance in your studies the more you encounter of them.

They certainly disproportionately achieve academic fame, but take out the jews and whites are still by far the most industrious race. It really changes nothing. That is how far ahead Europeans are than the rest of the world in science and math.

The next Tao. He has a higher iq than Tao and Feynman

People who talk about iq, even the people who talk about people who talk about iq, in my opinion, I can't understand. I don't understand the point of it all. Iq is definitely a decent measurement of separating most brainlets from most brainiacs but there's not much point in espousing it or denouncing it.

Can't there just be a moderate proposition that everyone can agree upon? I'm not a total genius but I still amazed people with my objective capacities for learning and finding answers. But there's also a subjective quality to it, being extremely interested in subjects and having a good mindset. Nobody's perfect. Some of the most brilliant minds still suffer from pleb tier problems like being depressed over a girl or death or whatever. I love all of academia but I also wanna be rich and party.

It just seems like if you have a sufficiently high enough objective and subjective level of brilliance, to the point that you're confident in your abilities, you wouldn't have much to say on the subject. Perhaps it would take me much longer to really grasp something someone else could in a day but my work ethic has never let me down so it hasn't noticeably affected me. If a solution is in front of me I'll still manage to identify it. I'll still make contributions even though my iq isn't 200.

I've had my intellect questioned my entire life in one way or another. Even trivial things like smoking weed or not believing in the bible will get you called an idiot. It seems some people are offended by this guy, whom I don't even know who they are, because some retarded plebs are making a fuss over his supposed intellect. But you'd have to be a pleb yourself to care because it just doesn't matter. I feel like a pleb even writing this because if what I say is true there is no point wasting my words on people who must just not have faith in their own abilities
