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.

^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

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.

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

^ word

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

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..

myamoto was just deep and introspective really. although no doubt a genius, he isn't one of the best.

as for people saying einstein, although he was indeed extremely clever, something's he made have started to be thgouht of as wrong. stephen hawking is only thoughtof as intellgient cos he wrote a book. althgouh smart, he isn't too great. some of his ideas are being disclaimed now too. can't remeber the detaiuls though i'm afraid cos i looked into it all a while back.

my list though? not sure to be honest. i agree hitler was genius, but only in his ability to manipulate a crowd. it all depends on what part of genius you're measuring. some people are geniuses when it comes to numbers (eg. pythagoras), some with words (eg.chaucer), and others have the ability to work out exactly what people are thinking and how to make them think what you want (eg. Hitler). you get spacial and artistic genius too, such as good old picasso or da vinci.

There's one guy that i do have on my list, but i can;t remeber his name. he's a physician that got a nobel prize like 5 years after getting his degree or something. made huge discoveries towards nanotechnology with the aid of a biological dye. complete genius. can't really say beyond that. too many fields of genius really to draw a comparison on a small scale.
