Atheist vs believer Intelligent Debate between Atheist and Believer.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHmNGyGkFl8
But are mankind doing that great? Are they really good managers look at Dilbert, Pointyhead may be running the shop but ... Maybe mankind would be better of being run by Scientists, engineers and philospoers, than people more interested in power and ego /Twobeer
i'm sure Mr. T just want to divert our attention onto another new silly thread. That's his style. He change subjects within a thread as he can't support what he wrote before, if that fail, he goes onto create new threads to get out the heat. That's what a spinner does.
you just explained why i disagree with the topic. I disagree because "No research on human behavioral theory is ever going to be 100% true as people from differing backgrounds and bias will produce differing results" Further more as cooler mentioned "we even disagree on what it means by 'intelligence' " Therefore for me to agree on the topic, the topic should mentioned whats the background (to explain the bias factor) plus who is the audience and also there should be a clear definition on the word "intelligence" itself. Once these conditions (at the very least) are divined then we can talk further
Let us see if this will set the house on fire. If you place a mirror in front of any specie of the great apes, the fellow or creature will probably pick his tooth or show off his teeth and may even try to smile. Put the mirror in front of say a dog, it will bark and might even charge at the mirror. Two very different reactions.
Sorry i cant see any fire anywhere in the house What i can see is both the dog and the ape walk away from the mirror, perhaps thinking the man is so silly with his toy
And what does this tell you other than that the ape are more intelligent than a dog?? People are to sensitive when it comes to discussing intelligence and measuerement thereof (guess no one wants to be called unintelligent, hence all sorts of non mesurable stuff like EQ etc. gets invented to dogde the issue that some people have better logic/problem solving skills, that can be measuerd in somewhat objective tests). Studies have shown that average IQ of asians are Higher than Caucasians.. Of course qualities and objectiveness of studys can and should always be questionedd.. It is interesting subject and can be "sensitive" field to do objective research in Personally I think it is evidence enough that badminton is more popular in Asia, that Asians are smarter than caucasians And just for the record, I am caucasian myself /Twobeer
Despite an "IQ" in the 160 region, I am a firm believer that a high IQ just means you're good at IQ tests. Besides, I don't think anything as variegated as human intellect can be distilled down into a number. I am not religious, because I just do not accept things without concrete proof, but I am firmly right-wing/conservative on most subjects.
Well of course high-scores on IQ-test means high IQ.. Of course you can say that the test does not measure ALL aspects of "intelligence"...But these "pattern-recognition" test do tell us something about the persons overal brain horsepower ... I bet you that if you scored 60 on the IQ test you would not be having this argument here on BC... /Twobeer
maybe ideally yes but temptation and weakness of man can doom any discipline or any man. Look at IPCC, an organization fill to the brim with brainy scientists who are the top experts in their field. Look at where they got us to or almost about to
Hehe - no, I would be a German Shepherd or a chimp. Chances are if you willingly take an IQ test you're already above average anyway...
True, true.. but it always gets complicated when there are "political" agendas for research ;-).. Just look at "feminism science" .. I think scince where you start by a non-objective stance and/or a political agenda .. or even worce an agenda to get "funded".. isnt really "real" science my 2 cents.. Guess I kind of want to argue , even if i totally agree with your IPCC observation, ha ha /T
i'll let u off this time since u swede beat our women curling for the gold. We had the swede on the edge of defeat twice but they wringle free.
