Does being gullible have any correlation to intelligence?

>>	Anonymous Wed Aug 3 03:19:12 2011 No.3500138 Depends, you can be gullible because you are ignorant or because you are too trusting and it is just a personality trait.

>>	Anonymous Wed Aug 3 03:19:12 2011 No.3500139 yes, now go be gullible and stupid somewhere else

>>	Roostar Wed Aug 3 03:26:12 2011 No.3500156 yes and the science of this statement is... this is my new desktop thanks :3

>>	Anonymous Wed Aug 3 03:39:12 2011 No.3500186 >>3500138 Isn't it possible that trust and ignorance go hand in hand? Intelligence and cynicism seem to have a pretty strong link.

>>	Anonymous Wed Aug 3 04:34:12 2011 No.3500323 How do you quantify gullibility?

>>	Anonymous Wed Aug 3 04:38:12 2011 No.3500331 >>3500323 I don't think you can... hmm... Good question

i believe you are wrong

anyone who thinks they're smart is an idiot. intelligence is a correlation between facts. gullibility is more akin to belief, a hasty decision in light of insufficient facts or none at all.

you can make a choice to accept a cetain understanding based on the facts gathered thus far, but only gullible people make a decision based on someone else;s opinion of what these facts conclude

not all things that count can be counted, not all things that can be counted count

once a word can be used in the correct context and has qualitative properties, the quantification has already been embedded in your brain long before the metrics are derived to create the formulas you're looking for which will inevitably prove what you already know (unless you're a subjective son of a bitch)

>>	Anonymous Wed Aug 3 05:03:12 2011 No.3500376 not necessarily, if you are talking about every day little things. but in the big issues, I think so.

>>	Anonymous Wed Aug 3 05:09:28 2011 No.3500388 >>3500373 >qualitative I seriously hope you don't mean critical theory.

>>	Anonymous Wed Aug 3 05:11:12 2011 No.3500393 Define intelligence first, okay?

>>	Anonymous Wed Aug 3 05:13:12 2011 No.3500399 >>3500393 define defining first, okay

>>	Anonymous Wed Aug 3 05:14:12 2011 No.3500401 >>3500399 de·fine/diˈfīn/Verb 1. State or describe exactly the nature, scope, or meaning of. 2. Give the meaning of (a word or phrase), esp. in a dictionary.
