Re: Does is bother you that other people are much smarter than yoursel
[ QUOTE ]
It doesn't bother me that other people are smarter than I am. Actually, I think I actually like this fact. It feels cool knowing that there are guys out there searching for a cure to AIDS and alternative fuel sources. What bothers me more is that so many people are less intelligent than I am. [/ QUOTE ] Exactly what I was going to post. Also I think intelligence is pretty useless on its own---you have to also be able to marshal a certain level of satisfaction with life and creative passion as well.

Re: Does is bother you that other people are much smarter than yourself?
[ QUOTE ]
The ancient Indian intellectuals and founders of Yoga said that intuition is the highest form of intelligence:Just knowing something is smarter than striving to know things [/ QUOTE ] Intuition is either the sub-concious level of intelligence, or a mental defect by which people believe they know something they do not. [ QUOTE ] ...Besides so many of the true discoveries in this world are made by accident... [/ QUOTE ] So what? Accidents happen, that doesn't mean it's best to leave all to luck instead of making scientifical analysis and deriving rational conclusions.

[ QUOTE ] What bothers me more is that 95% of people are less intelligent than George W. Bush. [/ QUOTE ] [/ QUOTE ] Where is your source for this? Unless you're thinking conspiracy here, I think it's clear that most people, even those way below average IQ, are smarter that what Bush appears to be. I don't know if you were being sarcastic here or what. I mean yeah, Bush is really stupid, but I wouldn't go as far as to say he's say in the bottom 10%. Perhaps bottom 30 or 35% would be right.

I'm sorry but I just had to make a crack about his cockiness. I actually don't think he's an arrogant person, but it's really funny how he manages to look like one of the most arrogant guys you've ever seen. My friends and I always laugh about most of the stuff he says about himself

Intelligence helps you understand the world around you, and while that doesn't mean it's 100% that you'll live a pleasant life, it can certainly help.

Whatever I said before is worthless. What really pisses me off is being decent at everything yet good at nothing.

Re: Does is bother you that other people are much smarter than yoursel
If you look at old videos of Bush, he used to be quite a smart and sharp man, even while governor of Texas. Both highly articulate and switched on. I'd definitely put him around 120. See this for example:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pw4Bhmm22xo I'm pretty sure what we see now is a drug [censored] mind starting to age. He has a long history of drug and alcohol abuse and combined with a lack of natural intellectual curiosity and extreme job pressures, it seems obvious why he's like he is today.
