EDIT: Let’s cool it with the downvotes, dudes. We’re not out to cut funding to your black hole detection chamber or revoke the degrees of chiropractors just because a couple of us don’t believe in it, okay? Chill out, participate with the prompt and continue with having a nice day. I’m sure almost everybody has something to add.

    But isn’t it outcome based? No matter how you process information, if your conclusions lead you to a sub-optimal solution to problems, whatever they are in whatever context, isn’t that “dumber” than someone that can come up with the best or better solution?

    If I decide “god will provide” instead of “if I research, think and work hard enough I can fix this problem”, which one is exhibiting intelligence?

      I see. So the race always favors the swift? I am so glad we live in a just universe. Jeff Bezos must have an IQ at least 10,000x as mine

        That’s just capitalism rewarding some lucky shmuck at the right place at the right time, not someone able to solve a problem faster or more intelligently.

          Right so how do IQ tests work exactly? We are told they correlate with stuff but every time we dig into it we find the correlation is poor. I can’t think of a single thing humans can measure that corresponds with real world data so badly that is still taken seriously except praying for the sick.
