true will most day to day things but in a relationship it can be the cause of a split as you look into every word or gesture for a double meaning. | |

Posted: 8/3/2009 7:46:01 PM | | I love my intelligence, well...more the ablity to think and reason because I can do wonderful things with it. As I was driving home today I took partiular notice of abandoned rail tracks as I was returning home from exchanging my son. I had seen them before but paid them no special attention. Today I looked at them, and saw how they could link the two Urban Development Zones in my city using my light rail concept. Then I could see the train going to a Cross Creek Mall station inexpesivively and easily, the same for a Ft. Bragg Station. It made me happy because looking at those tracks I could see low income individuals standard of living improving, and the elimination of Urban Blight, replaced by a beautiful vibarant city. So intelligence isn't a curse because it can have us appreichate the poetry of the mundane. Prehaps I am being sentimental, but it is what makes me feel alive. | |

.yet knowing when to give compassion is more important and sometimes giving it only hurts
I understand what you are saying intellectually bandito...I just happen to be one to feel compassion for all, regardless of their perceived motives...I am not taking sides...there is sadness and hurt in all of us, whether we express it openly or not...there is good in all of us, whether it is readily apparent or not...
I have always given money to panhandlers and such even knowing that they may use the money for drugs or alcohol...my theory being...the gift of giving is a good act in itself...what the receiver does with the gift shouldn't change the act...I can not make those decisions for them...I can only give them a choice....
( And these kind of thought processes are what I value most about the way I think, or my ability to think them...not about what acquired knowledge I may have that others may not, or how high I score on tests, or what my grade point average was in school...but, can I use my gift for good, for myself, for those I love, and for humanity in general..even can I help anyone on the forums with a problem they may have...and I can not imagine being with anyone romantically, who neither understood this, ridiculed it, or felt threatened by it..or couldn't share it....thank you PG....) | |

It is ironic that in a thread about intelligence, that so many rude comments have been made. Raw intelligence without discernment for the truth, without courtesy, without common sense is truly useless.

You may as well tell left-handers just to relax and use their right hand, or tigers to change their stripes. Usually, the problem isn't with the warehouse of knowledge someone has in their annex, it's in the fundamental way they process information.
Most folk have a nice pass-through switch in their heads, a highway through communication that works like "The Big Dig" in Boston, or 676 in Philadelphia. No lights, no turns, right through the middle of the city. It's convenient. You want to get from Jersey to City Line? 676.
People who run instinctively brainy don't have a pass-through. Or, if they do, it's counter-intuitive to them. Input rattles around like a pachinko machine. You want to get from Jersey to City Line? Well, you could take 95 to Vine Street to JFK, hook over to Roosevelt - its circuitous, but sure... OR, I guess you could take Market to West Chester - but that gets a little dicey above Broad... OR...
That Kind of thinking comes in handy if "676" is blocked. But otherwise, normal folks want to throttle you with an extension cord. All options are valid, none are Necessarily more obvious - or correct - than any other. There may be a lightspeed connection from Jersey to City Line, but if it is too convoluted, normal people will roll their eyes and hit 676 - it's just an easier, more direct way to get from hither to yon. | |

Posted: 8/4/2009 11:23:10 AM | | A person's intellect is merely one part of they are and what they bring to a relationship of any kind. Intellect can't prevent a person from being rude or condescending, intellect also doesn't necessarily give one a better personality; I know plenty of intellectual people with the personality of a ball of lint. Intellect doesn't make a person compassionate and it says nothing about someone's ability to be supportive if and when their mate needs it. An intellectual person certainly brings significance to a relationship but there are just far too many other factors within our personalities that impact how a relationship is built to view intellect like a relationship trump card. | |

Yes, pirateheaven, I agree. Great quote by John Adams, by the way ! I'll have to remember that one.
In fact, my post way back on page 42 mentions the same thing as what you too have noticed..... people jumping into this thread only for the mere purpose of feigning intellectual superiority (ie: pointing out people's spelling mistakes, correcting their grammar errors, laughing at their typos, etc.)
Hmmm, come to think of it, maybe I'll reiterate my post justs for poops and giggles....
From Page 42 :
When it's utilized in an attempt to (as some of these posters in this thread have so successfully accomplished) : Feign intellectual superiority, blatant showing of unnecessary hauteur, reducing others' credulity for no purpose other than to boost one's own ego, et al.....
Then the answer is a resounding "YES".... it can be a curse on any relationship.
Unfortunately far too many people confuse arrogance with intelligence. This thread has been a perfect example of that.
So very sad indeed. | |

Yet you do not even know that having a high IQ doesn't make you smarter than anyone else.

Marie Curie 1867-1934
Physicist who was the first European woman to be awarded a doctorate in science. Won a share of two Nobel prizes for her work on radioactivity.
Rosalind Franklin 1920-1958
Chemist who did much of the groundwork for James Watson and Francis Crick's Nobel prize-winning discovery of the structure of DNA.
Hypatia of Alexandria 370-415
Wrote treatises on geometry, algebra and astronomy in Roman Alexandria. Invented a device for measuring the level of water and another system for distillation, as well as the hydrometer.
Jocelyn Bell Burnell 1943-
Astrophysicist who co-discovered pulsars as a research student. Her male colleagues won the Nobel prize for the discovery.
Lise Meitner 1878-1968
Co-discoverer of nuclear fission, for which her colleague Otto Hahn won the Nobel prize.
Dorothy Hodgkin 1910-1994

Sophie Germain 1776-1831
Mathematician who made great progress on Fermat's last theorem, which was unsolved before her work.
All of these women have IQs estimated or known to be over 150. Wonder whose is higher; theirs or yours?  What exactly have you done to get so egotistical about your gender relative to intelligence? | |

Posted: 8/10/2009 10:34:33 AM | | Anyone with a modicum of intelligence would know that the "relationship" is the curse... not the intelligence. I would also go as far as to say that relationships can sully ones intelligence. But what do I know? I don't profess to be anything but an idgit..... | |

I gotta try the tactic of dumball replies. It has to reel in something, - it could be slippery, have a few fins but lots of guys seem to be searching for it with chick insulting lines.
Meanwhile in my world all the major smarties are chicks, - everyone has to be happy about this cause yur depending on their work directly.
Only the muckified feel intelligence is a curse - in real life, in many studies, fables and common knowledge its a boon. When I'm bonking supermodels while masquerading as a dumpster diver I'll send pics. | |
