If I were to make a new thread where I presented Langan's ideas on Reality and such in a kind-of summary/bullet-form presentation, would you guys be interested in taking a look at it and/or discussing it?

The head doesn't indeed. But some parts of the brain from a human brain are larger then an elephants brain. Animals tend to have larger brain parts of instinctive behavior and human are more trained to have speech and such. I don't admit with the guy on the video that we are smarter. We're just different then animals. | ||

Lets not forget that whales and elephants and all of the larger creatures have tiny brains in comparison to us(when their size is taken into account) The Sperm Whale has about a 9kg brain and it weighs about 140 tonnes, we have a 1.35 kg brain with about 140 pounds. BUT then there are animals that have an extremely high brain weight to body weight ratio, shrews for instance. Yet their brains are much smaller than ours... This debate is a simply ridiculous one, nobody will ever win it  | ||

so yeah bigger brain is not automaticly smarter but the probability that a big head causes larger intelligence seems possible | ||

Yes, I'd be quite interested to know more on his views. Of course, I'd want a lot of info on his CTMU and his religious position. Just curious as to how someone with such a high IQ comes to those conclusions and how he defends them. Okay cool. On his website he has a 'CTMU primer' meant to summarize his ideas, but it's still thoroughly riddled with technical mathematical and philosophical terms. So I'm taking the primer and giving each part a good [one or two-paragraph] re-wording so that it'll be a whole lot more intelligible to readers. It'll probably take me a good part of the day to finish it up though. Or, knowing me, I might never finish it and you'll never hear from me again. We'll see. | ||

IQ means absolute shit since he is 50-ish, the fact that he scored a 200 on an intelligence test means that he is as smart as the average 100-year-old or, since IQ tests scores have almost no relevance for adults, we could assume the more logical possibility that he scored a 200 when he was a kid, which says shit about how smart he is now. | ||

Yeah, I've only watched the last one, but he just sounds extremely idealistic. I'd think somebody with that high of an IQ would probably understand that there's not much he can do for mankind. I really like the fact that he equates the sophistication of a person's worldview with intelligence rather than IQ. As far as I'm concerned, a 150+ IQ person who belongs to any mainstream judeo-christian religion and honestly believes that's the way the world functions is still a dumbass. | ||

An IQ test for the 140-180 range would have harder questions. | ||

And by what standard do you say he fails life? He doesent live up to your expectations of what a Genius is? Do you think he should be out curing cancer instead of bouncing a bar? | ||
