It's too vague of a question to warrant a specific answer.
The closest one could come, would be someone who understands that people are smart with limitations of their knowledge (including themselves) while also having supremacy in more fields than anyone else. In any event, a significant portion of this assessment would still be subjectively and arbitrarily judged because omnipotent knowledge is just not possible for us.

Ben Shapiro or perhaps Thomas Sowell are candidates

>Sam Harris is autistic meaning he is subhuman and thus not a candidate for smartest man alive

Noam Chomsky was either never as smart as we thought or has gone senile in his old age
[See quotes on Trump]

"These are just samples of the real lives of Trump supporters, who are led to believe that Trump will do something to remedy their plight, though the merest look at his fiscal and other proposals demonstrates the opposite -- posing a task for activists who hope to fend off the worst and to advance desperately needed changes."

You have it backwards. Its what he knows that makes him smart not the way he thinks. If he had an abstract thought in that genius head of his he'd immediately realize that he's biggest conspiracy theorist the world has ever seen

Adam Lanza was the one true god of intellect

>>boys who see porn more likely to harass girls study finds

"Eric didn't play doom because he wanted to kill people: Eric wanted to kill people because
he played Doom".
People who are likely to sexually harass are going to seek pornography. Instead of treating
poornography as an external force which floats around trying to corrupt people from some
allegedly-ideal set of behavior, why not ask where a desire for pornography comes from?
Pornography exists as a coping mechanism for an artificial scarcity of sex. And where does
sexual harassment come from? Sexual harassment is a retaliation against, once again, an
artificial scarcity of sex.
Stigmatizing sex and then being aghast that there are consequences is a classic case of
having one's cake and wanting to eat it, too.

Milton is right up there at the top. We have (incomplete but still substantial) records of what he read and it is astounding, basically everything important written in Greek and Latin, including a solid grasp of the debates the Patristic fathers hashed out as well as medieval Scholastic thought. As the English Commonwealth's propaganda minister, he won fame and universal recognition as one of the greatest Latinists of his time. As a non-monarchical government, the English republic was.considered a threat to the European order, much like the Soviet Union was seen as a threat to theUS/Western European order in the 20th century. Nevertheless, Milton was still basically the Noam Chomsky of his day. Despite the fact he didn't even like writing on social and political issues, he produced polemics on every major political issue of his time: freedom from pre-publication censorship; the right to divorce based on irreconcilable differences; separation of church and state.He wrote histories of Britain and Russia. He was a pedagogue as well as a pedagogical theorist. He was a meticulous theologian. He developed what we would recognize was an embryonic "Lockean" theory of a social contract between ruler and her subjects. He also dabbled in verse.

This was answered long ago. Only someone smarter than the smartest is in a position to evaluate. Therefore, it cannot be known. Any more rehash?

I think the hustle's more vitalizing than money, dear. I think even the third smartest is doing, has done, will do exactly what he or she wants. Probably something as forgettable as preparing himself for death, when it comes right down to it. Just a hunch, of course.
