I like how for all the men you state their accomplishments without hesitation but when it came to the woman you said, "supposedly..."

@kandikid2308 Re: Naida Camukova, I said “supposedly”, because according to a number of reports she is running some type of genius scam/sham to get swindle millions of dollars for her associated organization. Most of the discussion on her his in Turkish (which is hard to translate), which is why I am unable to speak with certainty. FYI on your previous post IQ misogyny accusations, see the “smartest woman ever” table (pull down link).

These are parent made-geniuses: read about Sufiah Yusof.

@notengonickcojones There’s a section on this topic (Parentally-created geniuses) on the IQ: 200+ page (pulldown), discussing John Stuart Mill, Adragon de Mello, William Sidis, Edith Stern, Polgar sisters, Sufiah Yusuf, and Asia Carrera, Michael Kearney, and Ainan Cawley, whose fathers are of the general motto "Geniuses are made, not born", in roundabout speak. Mill seems to be the only one that panned out in the long run.

...And then you read about modern interpretations of IQ and discover that it is, in fact, wildly culturally biased towards people who's native language is English and lack a med. condition.

There is no denying that many, if not all, of these individuals are of truly superior intelligence. I mean, graduating college at the age of 10? That takes a truly gifted individual, but there is an explanation beyond the simplistic notion of IQ that determines the cause behind their superior brain function.

@Antitroll2011 Re: “I mean, graduating college at the age of 10? That takes a truly gifted individual”, not necessarily: if you read Kearney’s biography, you will see that his early development was largely the result of his father’s work (regrets that he wasn’t there to control his wife’s anorexia during the birth). As Aaron Stern, commented on his daughter, “ I could foster the same meteoric IQ in the children of the Tasaday tribe”. See “parentally-created geniuses” (IQ: 200+ page, pulldown).

Its upsetting to see how the iq system, originally created to identify and help children who where intellectually disadvantaged has become just another digit for people like rick rosner to capitalize on for the sake of his own ego.

So many scientists, philosophers etc work geniunilly hard for the good and development of our society and get no recognition for it, whilst these people (langan, rosner and carney) are falsly labelled as the spear head of a drive they do not push.

Adragon De Mello works at Home Depot now. Lol.

If these guys are so smart why don't they come up with a an energy alternative to oil?

Why hasn't Einstein won 2 nobelprizes. He got his prize for the foto electric effect before the theory of relativity. But relativity was really really groundbreaking, so why hasn't he recieved a nobel prize for that theory? When general relativity was proved shouldn't he have got his 2nd nobel prize?

Mutants! Iam jealous.

Additionally, the order of Calculus inventors are:

1) Archimedes

2) Leibniz

3) Newton

Newton was the first person to whom Leibniz communicated his ideas, and Newton was in charge of the Academy's council when the challenge of its creation by Newton was brought forward. Surprise! Newton decided it was all him. He must have decided notation was the deciding factor...because modern historians give this one to Leibniz.

Or, as "Robot Chicken" paraphrased Newton's summation: 1+1= deez nutz!

Interesting Fact: Factoid means resembling a fact, not a small fact.

Examples

Factlet: The surface of the Moon is covered in unweathered silicates called, "Regolith."

Factoid: Lunar soil, while possessing no significant surrounding atmosphere, can and may support carbon based life inside the grains and rocks of its regolith.

Guess which one is bullshit.
