How important was Watson to the discovery of the double helix structure? Tbh based on some interviews I've seen of him he doesn't seem that smart...

>> No.12540809

1. Smart people can be bad communicators
2. People have blind spots and can be smart in some ways but dumb in others
3. He discovered the double helix structure in his 20s and he's now in his 90s. Do you expect his mind - or anyone else's - to be sharp forever?

He was good at talking and schmoozing other people. The real mental power was Crick who was a biophysicist. Watson was just good at getting to the right people and getting the right data to Crick.

Unlike what >>12540809 is implying, watson was very good at communication. It was his primary scientific skill. While I do think the guy is a douche who got lucky, there is something to be said about the need for good communicators in the field. After his nobel prize though his head went fully up it's own ass and he lost the humility needed to communicate well. Part of why he didn't put out any really good results after the double helix. Even his stint with the human genome project was unsuccessful.

Crick would have agreed with Watson.
Franklin would have agreed with Watson.

Have you noticed anything about the competitors in every men's 100m Olympic track final? Yes, all nogs. The reason for that is they are physiologically different to whites in ways which benefit them in this event. For the same reason, you will rarely see a nog in the 1500m swimming final. Whites have the genetic advantage in that event. Given that there are undeniable physiological differences, why should anyone be surprised if there were also intellectual differences between whites and nogs?
