You have two people in front of you, they both went to a top 100 school and they both have a 4.0 GPA

One has a degree in math the other a degree in biology.

Which one is more intelligent?

The one who majored in Biology. He had to analyze and understand complex biological systems and remember pathways in great detail as well as solve problems based on those details. The math guy had to plug a few things in his calculator.

Has it occured to you that people choose a certain study out of interest?

If both people have a 4.0 GPA and are able to go to a top 100 school they're able to get a degree in whatever they're interested in.

The one top 100 school 4.0 GPA guy is interested in math so he got degree in math.
The other top 100 school 4.0 GPA guy is interested in biology so he got a degree in biology.

The entry level to get a math degree is higher than a biology degree which is why the avg iq is higher, but this is irrelevant as it has been established that both students have an equal GPA and both attend top 100 schools.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Rick's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick & Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick's existential catchphrase "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon's genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them.

And yes, by the way, i DO have a Rick & Morty tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid

Scientifically justified racism is the only valid form of racism. IQ isnt the first, only, or more credible form of scientific justification for racism.
>If you think intelligence can be broken down into numbers, you're dumb as shit and have never actually thought about what IQ claims
The natural world can be broken down into numbers because quantification is what science is, human intelligence is part of the natural world and is therefore quantifiable. Get off this board and back to pol if you are going to base everything you think off of ideology.

not dissing biology at all cause I know they have hard classes, but if I'm not mistaken the bulk of it is memorization, so a mid-level brainlet with good study habits can be competent
granted, brainlets can get through math by studying hard as well but math involves more application and problem solving ability, so I doubt they could come out with a 4.0 at a top 100 school

The one who cares more for how they can improve themselves and the world around them, than debating who is the most intelligent. You can be stupid as hell but still make a significant contribution to the world. Hell, you could accidentally trigger the start of a series of things that greatly benefits the world. Neanderthals were very intelligent and didn't have the higher education we have today. If our ancestors were retarded we wouldn't have survived long enough to exist today. Think about that.

That's subjective. Not everyone has the same level of aptitude. Some people will naturally be better at certain things than others. Savant syndrome is also a thing. It's not about whether something is hard, it's about whether or not you have what it takes to git gud. Not sure why you're calling me an "emotional trainwreck" but I'm going to assume you're attacking me to help cope with your insecurities.

I like how the biologists are all saying that math is just memorizing information. I find it funny since
A. biology degree (atleast for undergrad) is literally memorizing information. It involves no critical thought or problem solving skills.
B. college math != calculus. Calculus and even linear algebra is just glorified arithmetic. People can't really say that math is just memorizing information until they take any of the 3rd and 4th year math courses.
