Does anyone here feel like they're inherently smarter than the philosophical giants of history? It would do well to remember the average IQ in the early 1900s was around 90. I'd venture to say someone like Nietzsche who was a "genius" of his time, had an IQ of 140 (which is totally unremarkable nowadays). Sometimes, I feel embarrassed for them. They spent so much effort towards... what? Nothing, as far as I'm concerned.

Well won't you be worthless in the end, as posterity will be smarter than you?

Most IQ tests top out very near 140 so I have no idea where you're getting that from. Any IQ over 120 is more or less equivalent anyway.

Of course not, this world will reach its nuclear holocaust before my genius has been surpassed. I'm sure this all sounds like a joke, but it's really not.

You're going to have to learn how to write a coherent sentences, bud.

And let me go even further: People arguing over whatever tic-tac topic has been placed before them is laughably stupid. When I see you people write out big, long paragraphs on your opinions, I am wincing. Do you think anyone cares? Oh my goodness, no. There is not a single person on this earth who can be impacted by that big boy thought you gained after reading the western canon.

>The average IQ was 90 back in the day
??? You realize that IQ genetic and has nothing to do with education standards, right? You must be talking about about that pseud theory of how IQ increases yearly, right?

It doesn't.
