Hey ****head, you posted this crap and it was shoved back down your
throat. 1900-1930 with GR and QM; the Manhattan Project; Caltech and
MIT today; the Perimeter Institute. You are an empirical ass. Go
away and die.
Ah! A teen who didn`t read the rest of the thread, and does not enjoy
arguing and giving arguments, but just insulting. Please, save your
comments for your friends, not for my threads. Though I know it really
impacted your very limited conception of Reality and your adolescent
need to idolize paternal figures. There`s people who respects but is
not impressed by great intelligence and the products of obvious
inspiration on the current state of the Art.
Genius opens doors that didn`t exist before where there were no
discernible walls to look at.
Splutter and puke. Genius sees what everybody else sees and thinks
what nobody else thought (Albert Szent-Györgyi). Note that Albert
busted a hump isolating and discovering ascorbic acid from tonnes of
steer adrenals. He did it in San Diego, CA while surrounded by orange
orchards.
You yourself are not overmuch intelligent. Had you any contact with
with top 0.1% of intelligence you would know that is dirt common:
statistically 290,000 folks in the US alone. Uncle Al's high school
cohort - a group of 35 nerds and geeks of both sexes - *averaged* over
1300 on the SAT. Caltech and MIT sophomore or above have nothing but
the best of the best who are survivors. The schools turn away a sea
of merely superior applicants.
No, from my point of view what you speak of is serendipity; Genius
with capital G is a constant source of marvels that cannot be
forgotten. Research thrives on well exploited serendipity through lots
of hard work and big numbers of researchers and projects. School
prepares serendipiters and calls them professionals; the more SAT you
have the more valuable will be your serendipity, that is, the harder
to spot. Geniuses instead form their own schools. How many novelties
do you expect from your 0.1% of top IQ? Great intelligence is to be
expected and we are billions. Genius instead is rare. Anybody working
with genetic algorithms comes to expect these rare individuals only
once or twice after many iterations, though your objective variable
keeps maximizing/minimizing with each iteration. In other words,
Genius is a global maxima, geniuses are local maxima.
Go worship at another altar. This one is taken.
!?
BTW, fool, Jews in/from the Pale of Settlement average 110 IQ or
slightly better. That gives about a fivefold enrichment in the
incidence of high intelligence at any level. The only important part
of an icepick is the working end.
Try working an icepick without handle!
