on average 1 beaver has cut down many more trees then 1 human

computer science is a joke
try a real engineering major

once again your rant is nothing more than conjecture.
i am not judging how smart someone is based on their communication skills. if so hawking would be a fucking idiot. reasoning, logic, and learning ability is something intelligence should be measured by. or at the very least the CAPABILITY of learning. a chimp can learn 600 human words in 10 years. a 4 year old knows a few thousand

1, my major is none of your concern, you try coding in C++, java, or (my personal fav) Hex.
2, Mr.Hawking has the highest IQ (how people actually measure intelligence) of all time
3, its actually a gorilla that learned sign language, and it had a vocabulary of well over 2000 words (pretty good for not being able to talk)
4, on that note the chimps have better memory then us, i never actually mentioned any facts about language that have anything to do with chimps
5, you would have imprisoned someone who told you the earth wasnt flat in there own home if you lived back then
6, you have not listed ANY facts at all
7, Learning what others have said is one skill, BUT making theories and challenging what people believe is another, in the end it is the latter that are remembered in history as truly smart
8, (i had to throw this in) ur dumb, this post proves it, ive just listed 7 reasons why ur post makes you dumb so accept it and go get a lesson or two from someone like Mr.Hawking

He did not deny this.


Yeah, only if your theory is a scientific breakthrough.





So by not replying to my post, are you silently admitting that you have lost the argument?

Sorry if im takin to long but im doing more then just sit here and watch this thread lolz...

He did deny that Mr.Hawking was smart so common sense is needed to reach the conclusion that he needed to know that...
2, Mr.Hawking has the highest IQ (how people actually measure intelligence) of all time

And as for a breakthrough, if you grew up knowing that the earth was flat and one guy said that it was round you wouldint think that was a breakthrough would you?
Im just making a point that you need to not accept something because the masses believe it, if i believe something it is because there is actual evidence that it is true.

So by not being a loser and having nothing better to do then replying to my post right after it was made mean you silently admitting that you have lost the argument?

The English language disagrees with you.



I just want a reply to my post that relates to the original thread topic.

My bad i miss read (like youve never made a mistake, so i only have 6 reasons, more then enough)

It's alright. I know people make mistakes.

now let me counter the relevant ones
2. youre proving my point. hawking cannot communicate with people on his own. therefore by your rational (since you seem to think understanding language is the MOST important thing ever, or more realistically a basis by which to judge intelligence) he would be an idiot. OBVIOUSLY he one of the most intelligent people to have ever lived.
you made my point here
4. you said chimps had a greater memory for some sad attempt to display their intelligence, however children learn alot more than chimps, much quicker than chimps (or apes if you prefer)
5. conjecture
6. thats because ive been too busy shooting down your faulty assumptions and logic. i have not put forward any positive statement and therefor am not the one who needs to put forth the evidence.
7. learning is perhaps the MOST important skill we have. thats why we went from sticks and stones to what we have now. if we didnt learn at all we would never have progressed from sticks. this is why primates are still using them and we are not
7.1 you are correct in saying the people that challenge current accepted truth are remember. but you only remember the CORRECT ones. how many people were forgotten because their model of the nucleus was wrong? how many people forgotten because they put forth incorrect shapes of dna? history remembers the correct individuals. not the ones who use nothing more than conjecture, and opinion
