>Feynman was universally regarded as one of the fastest thinking and most creative theorists in his generation. Yet it has been reported-including by Feynman himself-that he only obtained a score of 125 on a school IQ test. I suspect that this test emphasized verbal, as opposed to mathematical, ability. Feynman received the highest score in the country by a large margin on the notoriously difficult Putnam mathematics competition exam, although he joined the MIT team on short notice and did not prepare for the test. He also reportedly had the highest scores on record on the math/physics graduate admission exams at Princeton. It seems quite possible to me that Feynman's cognitive abilities might have been a bit lopsided-his vocabulary and verbal ability were well above average, but perhaps not as great as his mathematical abilities. I recall looking at excerpts from a notebook Feynman kept while an undergraduate. While the notes covered very advanced topics for an undergraduate-including general relativity and the Dirac equation-it also contained a number of misspellings and grammatical errors. I doubt Feynman cared very much about such things.

>Ok. You guys think Feynman was a smart guy? He had an IQ of 126.

Marijuana is available in the US. All you have to do is move to California and get a doctor's prescription for anxiety or insomnia.

So what's the problem?

So you insult me rather then debating me.

and i'm the plebeian?

Also potential does't inherently have any worth. It's what you accomplish that matters.

No matter how smart you are until you use that intelligence to actually do something. You will matter just as much as the average blue collar worker.

Get off your high horse and learn the value of being humble.

Because the moderator of this board is a butthurt faggot who takes religion as a personal insult and bans anyone who disagrees with him.

I couldn't give two shits about this board, but I also like story time on /co/, and the ban affects all boards on 4chan.

In short: I likes my Punisher max, so I play along with Hiltermod.

>Tell me if these things are not allowed on this board i'll delete the thread.
Depends. If you go "Herp derp there is no God" your thread will be bumped.
If you admit that you believe in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, you will be banned for at least a week.

If you try to appeal the ban, the mods will email you with athiest dogma.

So as long as you stay on the athiest side of the debate, you're fine. Not much of a debate, in my opinion, but banning people is the only way athiests can win.

Abiogensis works, we know how it works, and here's a simple youtube video to explain it to you:
