Top 5 Intelligent
 

I was having a discussion today with one of my co-workers about what do I think
Are the top 5 most intelligent individuals. We agreed on 2 and disagreed on the rest.
Here is my list.

1. Einstein
2. Shakespeare
3. Isaac Newton
4. Buddha
5. Me aka Bio Chemist and Yes I am serious

One person named Hitler because of the way he plotted and schemed. How Hitler
Wanted to get rid of none blue eyed blond hair people however He himself wasn’t
Blond haired blue eyed. Just an example. So it would be interesting to see ya’ll
Opinions.

Einstein
Isaac Newton
Malcom X
Hitler was a genius, a fucked up one, yet genius none the less
Dr.Wacshekvo (my AP English teacher, 5 languages, 2 doctorates, graduated from 3 colleges with 3 different majors)

And Mark Twain as an honorable mention

Outwrite
Krayzie Bone
Twista
Einstien, But The Line Tween Genius And Insanity Is Worn Vurrry Thin
The Dude Who Invented The Internet [Not Al Gore]

you forgot canibus. he's smart...

Mozart was "proven" to be the smartest individual who ever walked the earth. Music has been proven to use the most brain activity by far over any other activity the brain does. Mozart was one of the best of all time in that field.

Please tell me this kid is joking

you guys are talkin about college smart..the best knowledge of all time..is street knowledge,common sense,wits..you understand me?..people who can think and act fst on their feet..

Top 5 smartest….Just give a list

Like Aristotle etc..

Doesn’t matter who it’s ones own opinion.

I only read the first few posts. And must ask Gunman the Great why he thinks Hitler was a genius. Why gunman, why?!

I hear/see this sometimes. People claiming Hitler was a genius that is. But most are just jumping on a bandwagon of 'going against the grain' and the pretense of 'conflicting enligthenment' of sorts. Without truly being able to explain why they think he was a genius. Just things like 'he could command a crowd'...er, ever think of the situation in Germany and the world at the time? And the people around him?..

5 most intelligent? Couldn't say. Though if you mean top 5 people who i think are most intelligent on a 'basic' scale of 'valuation' of intelligence. Then...off the top of my head...

'The philosopher' - A philosophical answer...
Shakespeare - Even though there is doubt to if he wrote all that is claimed. Nonetheless, it doesn't matter at the moment.
Einstein - He just seems synonymous(sp) with intelligence in modern day times...

Dunno...i don't think it's that important to rank 'top 5' as such. Though except maybe to ignite further discussion/debate.

The Pythagoreom Theorem Or Whatever People
Malcom X
Dr. Martin Luther King
Abe!
Einstein
Shakespeare
Issac Newton

No Specific Order..

Democritus
Aristotle
BounceDoggyDogg (a genius in my eyes lol)
Henry Ford (the idea of implementing the "assembly line" into car manufacturing)
The Red Baron (Genius of fighting with planes)

Einstein
Hitler
Shakespeare
Hippocrates/Galen
Steven Hawking

but theres alot more...should be a Top 10 list...

Robert Oppenheimer
(He invented the A-Bomb and changed the world forever)

Abraham Lincoln
(Ended slavery and changed the world forever)

Rosa Parks
(Wouldn't give up her seat on the bus and changed the world forever)

Arnold Schwarzenegger
(If you can go from being a poor kid in Austria, to where he is now, California's governor, you're smart as a motherfucker)

Muhammad Ali
(Simply the greatest, and he wrote the shortest poem ever...
Before Ali came along, the shortest poem was called Ants, and it only read, Adam Had Em...Ali, when giving a speech at Harvard University was asked to come up with something even shorter...he did, and it made an impact on the students...he gestured to himself, then to the crowd he was giving the speech to and said, "Me, We". That is bad fucking ass!)

And, yes, I think these people were smart as fuck for doing what they did, EVEN THE A-BOMB GUY!!!

Peace

You think you are one of the most intelligent people in the world? That in itself would make it not so.

Shakespeare was not a genius, he just could write. He wrote with the heart, and his mind was his heart. He just understood human emotion incredibly well.

Martin Luther King and Malcom X were not necessarily very smart people. They were powerful with their words in a society that needed to hear them. They rebelled, that doesn’t make them especially smart, just nonconformists.

Hitler – No. Read varenteo’s post if you must. He was too stubborn to be a genius, same goes for him being power drunk and still wanting more.

The idea of actual intelligence, and how it can stand over another person is quite redundant. It would have a lot more sense to say, ‘who are some really intelligent people?”, or something along those lines. I suppose this would be in correlation with the persons IQ? Which I personally think is an incredibly inadequate way of representing a person, and their mind.

He made it by accident did he not?


Stop judging everything on what a person did and their accomplishments.


I didn't give up my seat for a rich bitch yesterday on the bus...wow.


God No! He made a name for himself with his body, not his mind. He can't really act, so there goes a lot of his career.


Not really. He wrote something good, alright...Many writers have done much the same.

Vanilla ice. o.O

Although I am flattered, I would never dare submit myself to the ranks of such superior intellecs. I look to those indiviuals in Awe, and gain insperation from such profound genius, but never would I make a comparison of such. Never... That would be intellectual blasphamy!

Democritus
Aristotle
Pathagorean
Einstein
Mozart

This is a very broad topic, and I can not single out any five so I decided to list those that influence my political insights most. Later I'll list those in other areas of studies such as science and physics, but right now I want to list the philosophy of those who I find most enlightening in the realm of politics. They have had a tremendous influence in shaping my views and understandings of such complex issues.

No particular order:

Niccolo Machiavelli - the humanist

Thomas Hobbes - the realist

John Locke - the democrat

John Stuart Mill - the libertarian

Thomas Paine - The columnist

Leonardo Da Vinci
Mozart
JRR Tolkien
Socrates
Einstein

You cant really judge pure intelligence like that, there might be some person no ones ever heard of that has an IQ of 500. Who knows? Although I do respect Isaac Newtown... apples are dope

MuhThugga. lol

@John Locke Listing: He was actually not very bright at all. I'm still learning about this...I'll explain in more detail later.

@Hitler: Hitler was a moron. He wanted to create a 'superior' race. One in which he was not a part of. He expanded Germany and wasn't even German. He could have taken over the world if he hadn't kept pissing the Americans off with his violent acts against our trade ships. He was easily in the position to completely dominate Europe. Could have taken the time to build up, and easily smashed America. Nope, he had to get us invovled too early...and paid for it dearly.

My List:

Maralius
Nathaniel Trubaneau(sp?)
Einstein(Even if he was mentally handicapped in some areas. You can't deny him)
Mozart
Connifer Estleben

Hitler wasn't a genius, more like a motivational speaker. He was nothing more than a frontman. yeah sure he was the source but his generals did all the real work... the dirty work. A Marine Sniper had Hitler within his cross-hairs but was not ordered to kill him b\c the US was more afraid of Hitler's generals than Hitler himself.... not a lot of people know this. This is first hand knowledge from an actually 1st Fssg marine.... aka my dad

^What's a 1st Fssg?

How old is your dad?

Unless he learned it in the military history courses they provide you with...your dad is full of shit.<---Only applies if your dad was claiming to have been there.

^actually if ur dad was the one that had him in his sites and he actually typed that post then yes its first hand knowledge. if he didnt type it or have him in his sites then its actually third hand knowledge. ;)

shakespeare is far from the smartest. . i`d imagine a few people on this board are smarter, sadly. . mainly because of the time period he lived in . . and Hitler was just a great public speaker, nothing more. .


people at mensa, i believe, are the most intelligent

I stated Shakespeare was one of the smartest heads in my opinion
Because he is a poet to me a master of all poets. A lot of people
Would say that ridiculous one person in example my boss.
He didn’t believe Shakespeare wrote all those plays.
But I believe so. Each book he written one can tell this was a
Touch of a certain individual style. But blah believe what you want
Tragedy death deceit were all in his plays and he set the stage for a lot
Of plays and TV shows movies that are being done today. But , just my opinion

I have another who I believe was on of the top. Well my co worker does
And I agree with him.

Hawkins a scientist he made a lot of theories and discovered things as well
Like the Black Hole something about inside the Black Hole when Light is
Being absorbed . Light is moving in a circle and in that circle its going faster
Then the speed of light which time is being stopped. I think I am on point
About what he said, some crazy stuff. For him to just think about that. He must
Sit around for hours just pondering and thinking about it.

Let me stop rambling

somewhat genious of pizza :evilgrin:

Einstein
Caeser Chavez
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Isaac Newton
Shakespeare

Those are my opinion

1. Einstein
2. Isaac Newton
3. Malcom
4. Hitler (Messed up but a Genius)
5. Buddha

LOL at claiming to have been there. No, my dad's a gunnery sergent in the Marines. He works with the intelligence people and this was told to him over a conversation about past wars he was having with an officer.

^ word

shakespeare never came up with his own plots. . and it has been proven

Have you not read his stuff? His style changes periodically. Style is by no means a measure of who a person is. I can write like Shakespeare, any one else could have.
He didn't start anything for TV or movies today. That would be starting life. Starting the idea. Natural thought and creativity is what gives idea's, not Shakespeare, just because he was the biggest and oldest name to have the same idea's that have been written millions of times elsewhere does not mean he started them. For that, you are not a smart person. Goodbye.

to be honest i know this subject is debatable..
i couldnt hazard a guess at whos the smartest
theres so many different fields from which to choose
and categories would be needed

but it would be for a genious alone to decide who is the smartest of all times

^wher've you been?

My List:
Stephen Hawking
Ivan Pavlov
Mahatma Ghandi
Mark Twain
Albert Einstein

My respects go to

Einstein
Euclid
Isaac Newton
Pythagoreus
Steven hawking

LOL!





Anyway, 3 people ....

Imhotep - First documented renaissance man of history. He was a Ewe man of Egypt and lived during the famous 4th dynasty. He's the "Father of Medicine" as well as many other titles.

Queen Tiye - She was the wife of King Amenhotep III, mother of King Akenten (Ahkenaton), Mother in law of Queen Nefertitti and mother of King Tutu Ankoma (or King Tut). The most famous dynasty of the Denkyirahene in Egypt. Her nation building skills were unmatched in pharonic Egypt. She had more power than her husband and all men in general. She was easily the most powerful woman of antiquity because of her keen nation building skills.

Herodotus - Without Herodotus, I wouldn't know half the shit I know now. He was a Greek historian, dubbed "The Father of History", that lived 484 BC to 425 BC. He wrote "The Histories" and is easily the most influential historian we know of. I would say Omane Anto (Mantheo), the Egyptian preist that gave the Greeks the histories of Egypt, but Herodotus covered everything in the ancient world. There was literally no people in his hemisphere that he didn't encounter, describe and write about. We owe a lot to Herodotus as far as figuring out how some things came to pass.

1. Einstein
2. Mencious
3. Sun Tzu
4. Myamoto Musashi
5. iLLogic

thats my peace..names you dont recognize..look them up..Einstein of course has to be number one not because of the theory of reletivity..but because of what he studied and didnt get a chance to finish before his death..the theory of unification..

pZ..
