I don't know anything about amplifiers to be honest so your simile isn't something I can understand but I'd like to ask you a question. Would you agre...

Do you have anything to say about intelligence? I'd love to hear your perspective.

Yes. I think I might’ve found the answer.

I guess nobody is interested in this conversation.

“The archer ought not to hit the mark only sometimes, he ought to miss only sometimes. That which takes effect by chance is not an art.” -Seneca

You make it sound so sinister.

I really don't know anything about morality.

I can't think of a situation that would be an example of what you are describing. Perhaps I simply lack imagination.

I wasn't trying to argue that it was similar to math. I was trying to give you an example of the kinds of things I would constitute as correct and inc...

I guess I was preaching to the choir.

You don't strike me as rude. Maybe I just haven't worked out my epistemological axioms as thoroughly as I should have before attempting to answer your...

I guess for example if you needed to solve an equation in order to pay your bills properly but you miscalculated and were therefore unable to do so or...

I'm not sure that I understand your question so I can't provide you with an answer in good conscience.

If the beliefs that you base your lifestyle upon are false then I would say that your lifestyle is wrong necessarily. If the beliefs that you base you...

I wish you would have made that broader point explicit. That way it would be difficult to miss and It would be easier for me to understand. I hope you...

I'm not interested in debating the functionality of drug use so I'll yield to you on this subject

I apologize. Your argument is a subtle one but I would appreciate it if you could explain to me how your argument is connected to a definition of inte...

It's funny because definitive is definitely related to definition etymologically.

lol

What do you think is the best way to generate definitions? Is it even a good idea to develop your own definitions? Should we accept the definitions we...

That strikes me as unnecessary.

Why do you believe intelligence is connected to the ability to outperform others?

Isn't He also the dumbest person?

Without peers wouldn't intelligence be impossible according to this argument?

Do you mean that intelligence is similar to calling someone short or tall? In other words you're tall if you're taller than most people and you're sho...

It shouldn't even be theoretically possible.

According to your definition of intelligence he couldn't possibly be intelligent because intelligence is by definition "the ability to apply knowledge...

Couldn't someone who was unable to apply knowledge or learn knowledge due to some twist of fate still be intelligent? For example someone who was impr...

What do you think "high level" means exactly?

Is this what you believe?

No it doesn't. I believe that what is good and bad for individuals can be determined objectively. Individuals can be mistaken. If someone believes tha...

This is something I disagree with but it doesn't really seem like it's connected to the development of a definition of intelligence so I won't argue w...

I'm not interested in morality. I'm interested in intelligence.

Do you have a reason why you believe this? If you don't I have no reason to believe your claim.

I’m not sure what you’re trying to communicate with this sentence but it strikes me as strange to say the least. Let’s substitute drug abuse with some...

This is precisely the point I’m trying to make.

If this really is the case then just substitute heroin for alcohol.

Your question baffles me but perhaps that’s because I don’t fully understand it and if that’s the case I apologize in advance. Does the mere fact that...

I figured. It was a trick question so I deliberately decided not to answer.

I agree.

What if the result you were aiming for is bad for you?

I'm not sure why anyone would use this as some kind of sign of intelligence.

He was 34 when she was 17. If she is 23 now then six years have past. I'll let someone else do the math.

Do you have some sort of reasoning you could use to support this conclusion or is it simply something we are supposed to accept without evidence? Mayb...

lol Idk. I mean I'd like to give you something but I suspect that it would be a waste of time. I think intelligence is probably connected to outcomes ...

But what is intelligence? Is it the ability to "figure out how to act in a way that will lead to a good outcome in so far as it is the outcome that is...

The correct answer to what? What do you mean by "correct"? What do you mean by "answer"? without some kind of context, even if only hypothetical, I ca...

I agree in theory but I'm not sure what you mean given the previous definition you gave of a "good outcome". Maybe you have a revised definition by no...

Unless I'm mistaken it would then be impossible for any intelligent person to be unable to "determine the correct answer" because this is by definitio...

According to your definition of a "good outcome" there could never be a case of someone intending to produce a bad outcome for themselves because any ...
