  • However, you neglect the fact that open minded-ness is not going to help if one lacks the capacity to grasp the implications of what they might be open to... , For instance, I am thihking i't's a pretty safe bet that YOUR IQ is probably well above average, which allows you the reasoning skills required to deduce the things that you have. Alone, a higher IQ is not a deterrmination of wisdom, but it helps in recognizing wisdom where it exists, methinks.

  • "The smartest men in the world once believed that the Earth was flat"

    I got goosebumps.

  • I scored 96, which is bellow average, but I was 12 at the time (3 years ago). I'm an idiot, but I'm more intelligent than some of my peers so.. Goody.

  • I scored 121, but that was 5 years ago. now im probably 12

  • That makes 2 powerful tools at my disposal.

  • my IQ is 320 and I do not believe in god and I just study so I am using all my IQ am guessing so

  • Comment removed

  • @thesam723 320? you do realize 140 is near genius right... i somehow doubt your claim...

  • @thesam723 LOL

  • @thesam723 I also doubt it, as you're having difficulty with basic grammar. You could still be smarter than me, but just no.

  • you have changed my life with your vids. thank you !!

  • Explain the Reptilian Complex!

  • IQ is a useless test for intelligence because it's lack of internal validity, just had to get that out there

  • i wonder what hitlers IQ was....think about it

  • Do u have to favorite?

  • @andydadandy ad hominem is another important logical fallacy used in arguments. Good example!

  • You Make me Think More than At School

  • i personally consider myself a rational person and so cling to that and attempt to make sure everything i beleive is backed by logic, and question everything, and i have found i cannot find any holes in christianity and as such continue to beleive in God, i do not appreciate your implying that everyone who beleives in a deity is irrational, however it is possible i thought that u meant that due to a misunderstanding of what u said

  • @the1exnay The scientific method is used to prove theory using two forms of logic: inductive and deductive reasoning. In the question whether god exists, there has NEVER been any VALID logical argument to directly prove an existence of a god. Every argument "proving" god is backed by logical fallacies. A famous one is: "we cant prove god doesn't exist, so he must" This is called appeal to ignorance, and is a logical fallacy. Google logical fallacies for more if you're interested.

  • Who actually subscribed to Dean?

  • @xjFIRST depends, what sick twisted person would not want to save a kitten?

  • @Spuntikable Only the sickest, and most twisted type!

  • well this is a pretty good assumpyion on iq?

  • Do I save a kitten for liking? Then another for sharing?? Then another for faving???

  • Regardless of subjevtibity, objectivity, beliefs and the idea of god, i will never believe that carrot-top is funny.

  • A lot of psychologist and anthropologists suggest that IQ is defined based on the culture in which it was invented, which makes it useless to determine mental capacity on a global scale because of the vast cultural differences. It also fails to acknowledge things like creativity or artistic thinking, which in many cases may set aside a revolutionary genius from somebody simply good at solving problems.

  • poopypoop is very poopy you may now poop in the universal studies os natinal poop

  • ....very valuable, and beautifully put!! loving your delivery as well . . . but, would love to hear shared a bit about multiple measures of differing intelligences. having many teachers in the family, i finding differing IQ types of ability fascinating! as one of 3 brothers with very similar IQ's, we differ in mechanical ability, abstract reasoning, intuitive/social skills etc. (sons of two engineers) FWIW. thanks / NC/US

  • easy sub. peace

  • You are really intelligent and also a very powerful speaker.

  • @huhfireheat This comment is so ironic. You can't tell if he is intelligent just because he talked about a subject for 3 minutes.

  • @huhfireheat So was Hitler.

    ... I don't know how that's relevant, though :L

  • @calibokina Godwin was calling out to you

  • Made a new account. 2 kittens have been saved by my hands ;)

  • @Lookatzack you don't actually save a kitten you know that?

  • @fullofuploads are you remedial?

  • Actually the Greeks had figured out the earth was spherical, and some even did calculaions based on shadows to determine the size of the earth.

    So most intelligent people figured out that the earth was ot flat on the basis of simple things, such as the fact that you can actually see the curvature of the earth when out at sea.

  • @TheAtheologian the Greeks believed that the sun was dragged past the sky by a God riding a chariot... right?

  • @ronaldwangdra1995

    actually im atheist from the kid foot, from the time i was reading so much encyclopedias. I dont know what i have said to make you so angry on me but okay, good luck anyway with everything. im out of those discussions.

  • @CArdsadET

    Right... I kinda misunderstood the sequence of comments and so deleted my comment because of that.

    I'm sorry if I have offended you... My bad.. ^^" Peace bro..

  • @ronaldwangdra1995

    Peace`..!

  • @TheAtheologian Oh, and just to be clear... That was just a joke... Not meaning to offend you... Peace bro... :)

    The Greeks were really awesome and actually did a lot of cool things...

  • @ronaldwangdra1995 Hehe, true they were very silly in very many things, so you have a point in your joke :P

    I simply meant to point out that the most enlightened minds of the past were not in fact flat earthers. I did not mean that the point Dean made was inherently invalid, as they did, for example, believe that the sun was pulled by a god across the sky.

    Fun fact: Aristotle did not think anything should be tested, because apparently nature behaves differently in tests.

  • @TheAtheologian

    :)

    wow... That is a fun fact... I never knew that... Quite the difference from modern scientists...

  • @TheAtheologian Right, he was Eratostene who calculated it. Anyway the IQ is just an illusion, tests just calculate the tests themselves. The intelligence is not-calculable.

  • @Efilzeo True, but signs and results of intelligence is calculable. F.ex. the ability to spot patters rapidly is often used, adn this is closely linked to thinking fast.

  • @reu91

    Damn, someone is still learning theology? Thats so retarded.. damn...

  • Comment removed

  • @Byiw Historically that is untrue but the point I wanted to put across is being religious does not equate to being stupid. Have a nice day =)

  • @Byiw I'm stating the facts, your skepticism is understandable but do remember nobody's forcing you to believe anything.

  • Comment removed

  • My IQ is 180 (have MENSA certification) and I'm a Christian. I've seen too many healings, exorcisms and miracles to refute it and people's state of indifference is exactly what the devil wants them to be in. Just because you reject religion does not mean you are smarter. That's just sheer arrogance and ignorance. Demons and angels, heaven and hell and the spritual realm are real. What would you do when you meet demons? Which side will you be on when judged? Just don't wait till it's too late =)

  • @reu91

    Did you even listen to what he said in the video? Did you even get what he was trying to say?

    Just as you've seen many healings, exorcisms and miracles, much more people have seen and/or felt suffering and despair. Statistically speaking, the likelihood that all those people became happy in the end is far too low. So is the possibility that all of them did not believe in God.

    Just as you experienced something that convinced you to believe, others may also have experienced otherwise.

  • @reu91 Also, there are people who actually do believe in God but also experience suffering their whole lives. Although the possibility exists that they experience better in the afterlife, the opposite is also true.

    The arrogant person is you, who do not even try to understand what other people have been through that led them to actually hate religion or maybe even the world.(not sure if there are any, but not my point)

  • @reu91

    A God who loves all his creation but lets them rot in Hell just because of a short moment of ignorance(human lives = short in comparison to God)

    A God who breaks his own laws(of nature). Is that supposed to be a good thing? Just to prove that he is real, he defies his own set laws.

    Also, such healings might've been done with a deal with demons. You never know, maybe lives were being taken from others to perform said healings.

    So many variables, which u won't even take seriously.

  • that was really good!

  • Intelligence is not just how much you know, but what you know and how you apply it.

  • I have the same wrap on my sofa, high five!

  • Cool, I was christian for the longest time, then I had a few years of drug use, made me question not just my faith but everything, I mean everthing, I became very openminded, I may not be the smartest person in the world but I bet I notice more things about the world we live in and universe around us then most people do

  • @oBLACKIECHANoo you clearly dont understand what im trying to say here and instead just nerdrage i meant the exact thing you said blind faith in something is bad and srupid and i agree with that, what i meant is that you should believe in what feels right for you but at the same time question everything and be open to other ideas and point of views

  • IQ is not just the "mental capacity for reason and logic" IQ is a measurement of intelligence. Intelligence covers many things, like problem solving, reason, planning, understanding complex ideas, the speed that you learn at, etc etc. So IQ is a huge thing, probably the most important attribute we have. Also, the religous can not be smarter than a real athiest, that is impossible, if they could be, they wouldn't belive in something that is obviously not true.

  • I agree fully, although conclusions are often hard to escape from, I think one thing you should cover is how people string to assertions.

    You discussed open mindedness but someone might provide an alternate opinion based on the same evidence just viewed differently, I think that is where the major problem lies. Given new evidence we all naturally reconsider but just given a different view using the same evidence people have trouble grasping

  • there is way too much information out there, alot of contradicting, things that make no sence, and things that make perfect sence alltho isnt true, there is no way for someone to know the complete truth, with so many people trying to do so there will be even more misleading and contradicting information, i always try to think out the box and look at things differently from the mainstream view of the world, because thats the world which is confortable to us, tht doesnt mean its right

  • Wait a minute, is this OGFurious? Na way bro.

  • I think it's useless... and i myself have a "high" score.. 125

  • watch the anime "Death Note" and you'll see that high iq has nothing to do with personality or morality

  • Limitless is a nice movie its over someone that takes pills to get a 100% brain capacity use :p

  • @Dompiestompie we all use 100% of our brains at all times. the commonly spread lie that we all use 10% of our brains is clearly retarded. think about it - how could you exist if 90% of your brain cells were unresponsive at any given time? ALL CELLS IN YOUR BRAIN FIRE AT ALL TIMES AT DIFFERENT VARIABLE INTENSITIES UNTIL THE MOMENT SOME OF THEM STOP DOING SO - THIS IS CALLED 'BRAIN DEATH' AND IS THE OFFICIAL DEFINITION OF *TO DIE*. hope you have learned - spread the word!

  • @sinprelic ofcourse all of the brain cels and neurons fire in our brains, but its the 10% potential of this brain that we actually can use, there is SO much potential in the human body and brain that we simply are unable to or forgotten how to use, this is a very deep subject which has alot to do with spirituality, i believe that one day we will be able to use that full potential, unless we screw ourselves over and the human race dies out before tht :)

  • @silverbullet174 now you are just talking out of your ass. come on, really? 10%? i'm pretty sure we are conscious of only maybe a tenth of a percent of all the information entering into our brain through the senses. if you think that spirituality is the way to open a window to our soul, you are in the wrong age and century. you belong to the dark age. cheers!

  • @sinprelic you are ignorant and will be left behind. Read up on quantum mechanics and the power of intention. then come back and lick ma ballz

  • @sinprelic yeah youll be the one to die while some of us will evolve and move on.

    actually id be living about 17000 years into the past, in the times of Atlantis. All of the history of our species since atlantis has been about remembering that time and trying to get back into the state we were in. That is why we have so many religions, all of them false deformities of spirit.

    ofcourse all of what i just said seems total nonsence to you. if you did some research you would know what im saying

  • @silverbullet174 sorry mate, i am a student of cognitive neuroscience, i outclass you here. also, your mythologies wont help you in the domain of science. like i say: go away

  • @sinprelic yes and im santa clause, and you cannot call yourself a scientist in any way if you cant keep an open mind, always stay skeptical and question everything, as said in the video a few hundred years ago people like you ran around calling themselves scientist who knew the world was flat, untill people like me came along to prove them wrong. you can just say go away but that doesnt mean you are right

    and everything is mythology until scientifically proven

  • @silverbullet174 that's my point. atlantis is a load of waffle until proven correct! and yet you assume all of this mythological "oh im 1% brain 99% mystical power" and you cant formulate a point that isnt laughable. you are telling me all this spiritual, immaterial shit and then in the next breath telling me you are really keen on scientific proof.. REALLY? go away i have no time to explain to you why your ideas are the ideas i had when i was 6 years old. see you

  • @sinprelic hehe but how can you prove something where there are no evidence of it. just because you simply can not scientifically prove something does not mean it doesn't exist. sometimes you just have to believe instead of know. its just like oxygen, you cant sence it in any way alltho you know it is there because you need it to survive.

    i believe there is alot more to the universe (things that seem unreal to people like you) that we dont know, or simply have forgotten

  • @silverbullet174 you seem to be sickly keen to believe things that there is no evidence for. how do i know you are not crazy for allah or scientology with the way you are thinking? you should be ashamed, getting an education and coming out like this: ready to believe anything as long as there is enough brain laundering in it for you x(

  • @sinprelic i dont just believe in something just because someone says its true, there isnt alot of strong evidence on the matter but if you research the matter enough it all ads up and it will actually seem logical, you allready have a strong prejudice against me alltho you know nothing about what i am about or what i am trying to say. and i dont 100% believe in everything, in this world you need to question everything and can be sure of nothing, you just need to believe in what feels right

  • @silverbullet174

    "there isnt alot of strong evidence on the matter"

    then

    "if you research the matter enough it all ads up and it will actually seem logical"

    so when you say that there is no evidence for it, but that there is.. arent you just making a huge contradiction? you are making it seem as if you often base most of your beliefs without evidence, and then look for it in a sickly biased sort of way.

    either your english is bad or you are really not the smartest guy around here...

  • @sinprelic hard tto make a point when u have a limit of 500 words, i mean there arent alot of sstrong evidence out there, but the few there is adds up, it just feels logical, as i said it can be or can not be true, youll never know the absolute truth... everyone of us have a different experience on how we persieve this reality, i just want people to keep an open mind and believe in what feels right to them, and not stick to anything in particular like a certain religion

  • @silverbullet174 No, you do not just "belive", at all, no matter what. You must be fucking retarded if you do that, because that means you aren't even smart enough to question what you belive in. People like that are so patheticly stupid, they should be shot. They can't even be considered human with that kind of intelligence, more like a neanderthal. Also, you compare something like religoin to oxygen? We can feel oxygen, we can detect it and measure it, you moron, do you live in the real world?

  • @oBLACKIECHANoo ignoramus, but not a retard. Retard is lacking the IQ be definition. There are plenty of other things to call somebody for not utilizing their IQ (mental potential).

    Our capacity to learn, the rate of it, is what we would call IQ. It doesn't ever mean we will fulfill it, people with a higher IQ though can go beyond those that don't its ultimately their "choice". I will always remember one rule of mine to philosophical thinking "question everything" improve certainty but open.

  • OVER9000!!!!!!!

  • subscribe to save a kitten

  • How do magnets work?

  • my IQ is 156 and it wasnt a dumb online test but i aint no genius so i dont really get it...

  • @somethingblue22 it's what you are capable of, not the book-knowledge you have (You'd be able to understand/solve/learn faster than most people). With that kind of IQ-score, you would normally be classified as, in fact, a genius.

  • @somethingblue22 cool story bro

  • your mind is facinating

  • 135 iq ftw

  • i have 105 iq :D

  • Isn't intelligent the culmination of all positive mental traits?

  • @cssaddict17

    *Intelligence

  • @Chelseafcswag on fairy tales as your religion or belief .. like that your savor was swallowed by a wale or that the wolf was the devil blowing over people houses ...whatever....and the stories of the bible were introduced to you as fairy tales and just stories ...do you think you would know the difference.. (please answer this question specifically )..religion is just useless traditions that people cant let go of ...in my mind

  • @Chelseafcswag if me and you were to hypothetically got into a argument or a convo about weather or god is real or not.. and a winner would have to be named dont you think i would win? just do to the fact that i have nothing to disprove bc i cant disprove or argue something which has no facts, zero evidence backing it... if you are a logical thinking person based on this fact alone you wouldnt believe in God...only reason u believe is that u were raised believing it... if you were raised.(cont.)

  • I have clung to my belief system

  • Wow your attractive, intelligent, open minded, and have a cute accent .. how I wish I could meet you ..

  • Every time i watch your videos i become a better person, wish to meet you someday

  • But it still is very possible to keep an open mind, while still having a strong belief system :)

  • IQ is only testable when you're still a child. Otherwise, the test is rendered ineffective.

  • the iq is tool in the head. the brain is an organ... makes thoughts. to think you are something you can think that is really sad..... you are the existing itself :)

  • One of your best videos yet, and that's saying something.

  • Hmm. this is very interesting.

  • Arent you athenes buddy? you look like the shirt less dude, good video

    [Comment via Fireviews]

  • So higher intelligence in my opinion is the ability to detach yourself from norm and being able to view world as it is.

  • iq isn't exactly indicator of intelligence some of it is knowledge... and there is a huge difference between intelligence and knowledge.

    About belief system ...it is good to cling to it in a healthy manner.If we didn't we would be ppl without an opinion.We need different views to asses situations correctly... problem begins when we get trapped inside our own little minds...

    some ppl can't see it because they like it, some see it but can't help it.

  • dude i've been preaching this shit for the last year or so and i am so glad to finally hear somebody agree with me. THANK YOU DEAN! YOU ARE SO SMART AND NOT BLIND!!!!!

  • wow im so happy that im not attached to any believesystem ...

  • This reminds me of Descartes Meditations.

  • Interesting vlog as always. And yes, my mind tells me it's rational to like this video.

  • This was very interesting!

  • Creativity is also very important if not more important.

  • I'm sorry but no, there are not many people who are creationist (i.e. not only believing in God but denying evolution completely) and have a higher IQ than me. Not trying to sound arrogant here, I'm certainly not the smartest person in the world... But those people seriously are fucking dumb in pretty much all cases.

  • @eggroll9000 Whats ignorance.

  • @DontWorryItsOlly Yeah. What's ignorance?

  • I really wish I had Dean as a RL friend...Would always feels so much more inspired day to day.

  • @seanc46 So do I, so do I.

  • I like this goofy, pseudointellectual character the best.

  • The thing that I don't get is that for me religion is more about the teachings because we can argue about weather god is real or not forever but the teaching behind most religions are a grate way to grow up, bring up kids and a way in Which you or your family can live happily. The point that i'm trying to get across is that at the core of most religions there is a group of teaching that will help you live life happily even if you don't believe in god.

  • Do one about video game addiction

  • @SlopedOtter he already has done one(:

  • this was really interesting I enjoyed it!

    [Comment via Fireviews]

  • does furious watch this?

  • Question: What is your opinion about vegetarianism?

    Suggestion: Make a video about vegetarianism. (I regret my ignorance if you already made one about that.)

    Critique: I appreciate your video.

    See you next time

  • great!

  • What accent has this guy got?? Being a guy who watches Eurovision, I'm beginning to think this guy is from somewhere in Europe, but I'm not sure :\

  • @BrennyBlues He's Belgian.

  • another thing with high IQ is how you use it, it doesnt make you a good person if you use your high IQ for things like imaginitive ways to kill people. id like to see a vid with OG and Dean Leysen in it again sometime, was good when you did it for your milestone vid, can they interact next time?

  • I bet OGFurious has an extremely high IQ.

  • SG:U fan :-P

    caught ya there

  • Dean, why do we like what we like? 

  • Difference between OG and Dean

    OG = "YEA NIGGA I FUCK ALL YOU BITCHES UP SWOOOOOP

    Dean = "owww my brain...." *head explodes*

  • Difference between OG and Dean

    OG = "YEA NIGGA I FUCK ALL YOU BITCHES UP SWOOOOOP

    Dean = "owww my brain...." *head explodes*

  • you look like furios or are you?

  • @wanted888ghost Yes he is, Well Furious is a character that he plays.. check Furious' "Blooper" videos for Evidence :)

  • post more keep em coming...

    [Comment via Fireviews]

  • all jews are bastards

  • Dean, why do we call ourselves human beings. and what are we as a race, as a species. is being a human refering to our bodies or our minds and souls, or all combined? when we die do we really die? or do we just leave our bodies becuz they have become to worn down and over time collapsed.

  • iseen this plenty of times now!

    [Comment via Fireviews]

  • I think IQ is simply an ego booster

  • I think IQ tests for the ability for someone to learn new information.

    I believe someone with a higher IQ will be able to graps new information and knowledege faster than those with a lower IQ

  • 1:20 I think you mean "...you and I" ;)

  • Comment removed

  • I know exactly what you're talking about!!! I have a superior intelligence (134) but I can recognize these thing. A lot of other people are really cocky with an I.Q. such as mine. I just call them dicks for being that way. LOL At the end is exactly why people created the term "Atheist Scientist."

  • 0 IQ right here:

    /watch?v=oeJxxVQ1_Bo

  • @MrMozskeeto... How about u stop believing because there is no evidence , none what so ever, that He is real. So your original belief in God dosnt make any sense ...you don't need proof that He is not real bc the lack of proof that He is real should, is, enough

  • @vuji06 Absence of evidence is not evidence of absense. let the man believe what he believes.

  • did you brush your hair on purpose there towards the end? Cause I liked it...

  • I believe in God...but if there were over whelming evidence to say say without doubt he does not exist, i would cease to believe in him...I don't believe in the bible or that God's name is actually God, maybe i don't even believe "God" created the earth....but maybe gave it a helping hand...I believe God to be more of an "alien", rather than a super species that creates worlds...and maybe we weren't created in his image...maybe he changed his own to be more acceptable to us? idk im blabling

  • Someone with high IQ doesn´t mean he is more intelligent than other people with lower IQ, it just gives the capacity and facility to absorb more information in less time than others. At the end its each persons will and attitude towards their studies that will make a difference in their intelligence.

  • The only thing your IQ accurately represents is how well you can perform at taking IQ tests.

  • Why don't you do a video on the whole neutrinos thing? I sorta know what they are, and I know where they come from, I'd just like to hear if you have any opinion about why they could be going faster than light? And whether this means we could potentially time travel?

  • Dude , i loved your videos but then you started to put religion and belief in every one of your subjects and i personally don't really like when you talk about it because ... honestly ... even though you try not to be so ... you are Biased towards Atheism

  • @nintendokazoozie k thanks :)

  • This is more of a dissipation of belief systems, than it is an IQ one..

  • Dude, I totally agree with your opinion!!!

    

  • I dont even know what is IQ.

  • I love you.
