Tourmaline Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 Is it a lack of confidence in your knowledge or the impression your true answer may give off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agro Posted May 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 Is it a lack of confidence in your knowledge or the impression your true answer may give off?I honestly don't think there's anyone here that I can point to and say that they're smarter than me.I also cannot point to anyone and say that they're not as intelligent as me. Except maybe the 5 year olds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tourmaline Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 Wouldn't it be much more likely for the intelligence level of the site to not be constant and, rather, slightly spread with seldom outliers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agro Posted May 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 Wouldn't it be much more likely for the intelligence level of the site to not be constant and, rather, slightly spread with seldom outliers?Possibly, but differentiating people by intelligence is entirely subjective and impossible to measure.Plus saying someone isn't as intelligent as someone else is just generally a dick move.

Tourmaline Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 I don't think it is. You could easily use fitness level and say that one person is much more fit than another, even subjectively. Why would you desist from making a sincere statement on the intelligence of people if you are being honest and not malevolent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you desist from making a sincere statement on the intelligence of people if you are being honest and not malevolent?Because it's inherently malevolent.Intelligence goes far beyond anything you could comprehend simply by speaking with them on a forum.

Tourmaline Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 Inherently malevolent? That is sincerely a ridiculous notion. Malevolence and benevolence are designated and descriptive based on human ideas. You could say they are extrinsically malevolent, because they are being assigned the adjective, but to say anything is intrinsically good or bad is not knowing the definition of "inherent." I think you can judge intelligence on a forum. I do it all the time, Agro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is sincerely a ridiculous notion. intelligence and stupidity are designated and descriptive based on human ideas. You could say they are extrinsically intelligent, because they are being assigned the adjective, but to say anything is intrinsically good or bad is not knowing the definition of "inherent."I'm just saying.

Tourmaline Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 Yes. I did not ask about the inherent intelligence of the people. I was just asking if you thought that anybody else was more intelligent than you. The status of the adjective itself between "intrinsic" and "extrinsic" was not relevant.

Agro Posted May 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 I don't have an opinion whether people are more or less intelligent than me because I don't feel I have enough knowledge of any single person's life experience to make an assumption.

Agro Posted May 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 Wouldn't that depend, though?I mean everyone is knowledgeable about things that surround them, so the differences would very.That's the point. There's no reason to think I'm more or less intelligent than someone else if everyone has a different opinion on who is more or less intelligent.
