Intelligence is determined by how much, and how rich the information you absorb is. If you live in a tiny isolated village, scarce amounts of information trickle in and you are likely stupid. Modern countries are getting smarter because the quantities of information available to consume is enormous. Most of it is just white noise, reality TV and whatnot. But a lot of it is very dense and complicated information. With a little cleverness we can specifically seek out the worthwhile information.

Heres where I may lose you, but hear me out. I think we, the crusty outcasts here on the internet, have learned to process such dense and complex information, that our intelligence has gained a retard type strength. We can process information brilliantly, but we have no ability to focus it or make any meaning out of it. It's just hollow unfocused retard intelligence.

That's not what intelligence is.

Why do you think you know what it is?

>> No.3250034

>>3250023
Thats just knowledge of subjective worth. Intelligence is judge by you ability to learn and into logic.

You don't know what you're talking about. Stop letting yourself fool you into thinking you know what you're talking about.

Actually, OP,I have to agree

I'm trying to avoid TV and read more to solve this, however, with some texts I fell sleepy, let alone concentrated.

By the way, any solution for this?

Shit's so false. 4/10

If you think of countries in terms of population instead of individuals, that might not be that wrong

dont confuse 'losing' others with not being lost yourself

aside from what might be called arrogant gloating; much of what you see in others is, in fact, your own vision projected upon the world at large

find the source of your arrogance and dissect it for it is never justified and is a common crutch used to support a weak argument

come back and look at this that you have written when you are older; maybe then, if you do manage to intellectually grow up, you will understand the stages of growth you went through to gain real knowledge, insight, and understanding.

So intelligence is determined by the amount of information you have stored? Cool story, bro.

>> No.3250259

>>3250167
I am very far beyond everything you are saying.

>>3250176
You are thinking of the mind like a computer, which is a poor analogy. The more complex and dense information a brain processes, the better it becomes at processing information. The amount of information you have stored and your ability to process it are the same thing.
