[QUOTE]Originally posted by MelaninKing: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by L': [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by MelaninKing: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by L': [qb] [QUOTE]The kid is intelligent, that much is certain (even if you want to deny that for whatever reason). [/QUOTE]Take your time. I never stated that the kid wasn't intelligent.[/QUOTE]Well then, this threw me off: "Universal Truth can NEVER be hate, unless viewed by one who explores only surface level data. The kid can learn higher level math, and [b]therefore is brilliant is a conclusion only for those who embrace shallow wishful thinking and ignore facts and historic data[/b]. Read the article, Look at the kid's picture, and do the research. You'd see the same pattern as I." ^You tell me what you mean there. You also imply numerous times that he will be "insane" or "is insane" [QUOTE]What I said was there are documented scientific reasons why some such as Einstein show talent in abstract areas of science that have nothing to do with "brilliance" or "Superior" intelligence, and more to do with an abnormal brain chemistry imbalance.[/QUOTE]The first part I agree on; i.e., that it is not a sign of superiority. However, it is brilliance. The kid has a brilliant mind, and hence is brilliant. As was Einstein. They were not "superior" to anybody, because they were intelligent in some ways whilst not in others; but to say they weren't brilliant is untrue. [QUOTE]It's like I have a group of students who are dyslexic, and I design a test based on their special way of viewing and processing data. I am filthy rich and well connected and unbelievably I manage to get this test accepted as a standardized measure of intelligence. Are those in the future who manage to excel in the test then labeled as Geniuses, brilliant, or superior? Over time, the answer is YES.[/QUOTE]They may have Genius, Brilliant, and Superior are all separate things, which do not equate to each other. That is, you can have brilliant geniuses who are intelligent in some ways (e.g., music, math, science etc.,) but they could be seriously lacking in other ways. So yes- the child has a brilliant mind (I wouldn't necessarily call him a genius yet) but he isn't superior to other people at all. [QUOTE]Originally posted by Afrocentric Liars Exposed: Math allows for prediction. This is how advance or technology based societies are built --you make the predictions on what the technology will do based on mathematical calculations. This is why it is superior intelligence.[/QUOTE]It is in no way superior intelligence. It may be superb mathematical skills; but that does not equate to superior in intelligence to other people; especially since there are several other people who are brilliant in other ways. Who knows how well he will even be able to apply his knowledge [QUOTE]An artist is brilliant in that he/she knows how to capture an image and replicate it. But lets be real, can an artist build a machine? A linguist may be brilliant at understanding language, but come on now, you wont find a linguist writing up a design to a rocket ship.[/QUOTE]All different kinds of brilliance that benefit society in different ways. To say that none of those fields have greatly influenced societies (past and present) would be incorrect. [QUOTE]The point is, it takes superior intelligence to build advance or superior societies. Just look at Africa and the West, and I think you will get the drift, heh?[/QUOTE]I don't know what you mean. Africa and the West alike have several magnificent civilizations. To be honest though, I can think of more civilizations in Africa than I can in Europe. [/qb][/QUOTE]LOL, none of that states that I believe the kid is unintelligent. I simply have an issue with the "Brilliant" and "Superior" intelligent descriptors applied to someone who show promise in one small area. That's all. Sanity is a relative term as well, but today we realize that insanity is the result of an imbalance in brain chemistry, generally a result of a dysfunction in the metabolism pathway(s). [/QB][/QUOTE]
