<0> If you're a genius it'll be a flamewar, much more fun
<1> i've only met one person who i'd say was a genius, and he was the biggest condescending ***hole i've ever met.
<2> i am an idiot
<2> i am the first to admit it
<3> MmmCake: I don't know. Throw in some liquor and everything goes nuts.
<1> yet at the same time he was a brilliant physicist.
<4> NineVolt: Then means you aren't as brilliant as him.
<3> MmmCake: Geeky chicks tend to be really slutty... nuh nuh.
<2> Dosto, the problem with geniuses is they aren't fun drunks..
<1> i'm definitely not as brilliant as him, i never claimed to be.
<1> that doesn't mean that his being condescending is somehow a good thing.
<2> Dosto, actually that's true, because theya re more likely to question the values instilled on them by religious institutions about sluttiness
<3> Mmmcake: I'm just foolin'
<1> i wouldn't even say i'm brilliant at all :P
<3> MmmCake: Yup.
<0> Talking about religious stuff
<2> i am the first to admit i don't really know anything.. well maybe i know computers and progarmming, but that's about it
<0> We kill idiots
<4> Well, my implication was wrong anyway :p. Briliant people are indeed usually less social. I don't think they are ***holes however, you just don't understand why they get irritated, and they don't know (or why?) to hide it.
<0> So we kill all the religious people
<1> that's not what i'm talking about at all.
<1> this guy taught a first semester physics course.
<1> he would mock people for asking questions in cl***.
<2> Run, well i think there are some geniuses that also have some social skills and thus hide their loathing of stupid people raelly well because they realize it suits them better to get what they want out of people by being nice
<1> extensively mock.
<0> Geniuses with social skills hide the fact they're geniuses
<2> yeah
<4> *nods wisely*
<1> unless you're asking about general relativity, he'll make you feel retarded.
<3> MrAshe: Too true.
<2> i know a nobel prize winner who is a nice guy and doesn't mind answering any old stupid question
<4> Feynman
<5> really?
<2> not sure if he's a genius, but he's damned closer to it than me
<2> Watson, the guyu that discovered DNA
<0> I have a Genius gamepad
<5> what field did he win the prize in?
<0> I'm a genius
<0> And I'm social, since I play games with it
<2> in biology
<0> So you all == owned
<4> Nah - it's just a fact that brilliant people can't socialize with stupid people (or visa versa), that is not because they are incapable of something, that is because the difference is too large.
<3> MrAshe: Does telling another player that you're going to rape him in pvp a social skill?
<2> hahahaha
<0> Depends if you put a cybercondom on
<2> dosto lol
<1> i never had problems socializing with people of any intellect.
<2> yeah same here
<1> i just hate ***holes.
<2> yeah same here
<0> NineVolt: maybe you never had any problem cause you're not that smart at all ;)
<1> and the one smartest person i know is quite the ***hole.
<1> correlation maybe, but whatever.
<4> Funny, I only know ***holes who are stupid.
<4> But then again, almost only know stupid people.
<3> NineVolt: Neither do I, but I often get accused of using too big words. Or, people will ask me if I'm a lawyer. Not sure if I quite understand that last one.
<0> Run: I'm not that stupid, just more than average :p
<2> Dosto, lack of vocabulary in English from native speakers really annoys me but i hide it
<0> If you don't understand that last one, either you try to sound smart, either you're not smart
<4> MrAshe: at least you talk as if you have social experience with being on the smart side.
<3> MmmCake: I find that Germans tend to speak better English than most Americans.
<0> Run: easy, you've never seen one of my coworkers
<0> He does inline skating in 5 stars hotels and airports
<0> And spends his time reinstalling Linux in a VMWare instance
<0> (and he's got blue hair)
<0> (and his wife pink)
<4> Cool
<3> MrAshe: What?
<4> Sounds like an interesting guy
<2> hey i hear it's not good to inline skate for large functions
<0> Yes, if you want to listen to his linux installation adventures
<4> I would :)
<4> And afterwards we can have *** (why did you HAVE to bring up his wife?)
<0> It gets boring when he starts talking about sharing his home mounting point between multiple VMWare intances
<0> Well, she's ugly even with normal hair so..
<0> But that's your problem :p
<0> But someone with blue hair, dressed like Neo in Matrix
<2> i find ugly girls with pink hair are slightly less ugly
<0> And who's 36 years old + 4 kids
<2> because of the pink hair
<0> That doesn't sound normal to me
<4> AH
<5> did you say that you know (or knew, is he still alive) that Watson fellow, one of the original Double Helix guys?
<2> zeitnot, he's still alive and kicking.. i met him
<2> he runs the lab where i work
<5> !
<4> Now you don't sound like your on the 'smart side' MrAshe. Of course he's not normal when he's brilliant. normal == average, brilliant != average.
<5> doesn't it seem that when you get to looking carefully at the works of a lot of people who are labeled geniuses,
<0> What's brilliant about him?
<0> He couldn't do 3 + 4
<4> I do certain things my way too... like, I chose my own name (why would parents have to do that?) and I decided that getting up at 3 pm works better for me.
<5> that a lot of what they do is really more incremental than revolutionary? they build on existing knowledge most of the time, just like everyone else, even though what they happen to build turns out to be very interesting.
<0> Yes, and when you get a new job, first day you shout "my last boss was a ****er he didn't let me use Emule"
<0> Then you spend 2 weeks testing warez game in your office
<0> Right, he's brilliant
<0> But then if you're like him, don't ever talk to me again ;)
<2> zeitnot, well.. yeah that happens a lot in science.. sometimes it's blind luck really.. especially in biology.. but i do think genius does take also some inspiration not just perspiration..
<5> i'll go with that.
<0> I don't say he's stupid cause he does weird stuff
<4> MrAshe: Just saying I'd be very interested in him. It could be that after a few chats that I decided he's stupid after all though. Or at least boring.
<0> I say he's stupid cause he does weird AND stupid stuff
<2> anyway some people say watson isn't that smart.. hehe.. because they say he stole all the glory for the DNA experiments from others.. he never did anything after hsi DNA discovery whereas the other guys he worked with in the same lab at the time all went on to discover other major things
<0> But if you're interested in idiot specimen, then I can arrange a meeting ;)
<0> Actually he was probably near your home not long ago
<0> He went to KPN and got arrested in the station cause he was doing inline skating
<0> (I don't mean you live in a cell, but in .nl)
<5> heh
<4> If he goes to Amsterdam again, let me know.
<0> He can't align 2 words of english so good luck too ;)
<4> He doesn't speak English??
<0> He knows "hello" and "bye"
<0> And "linux", but that one is cheating I guess
<4> Ok, nevermind then.
<4> I guess I'll go to the city to play some chess in the cafe... bbl
<1> inline skating in 5 star hotels kicks *** though.
<0> Not when you keep falling
<1> i dunno about airports though, you'll find yourself in gitmo.
<1> especially if you keep falling.
<1> you can fall onto the bellhop guy
<0> It's funny to watch him simulate he knows about wine though
<0> You'd give him vinegar he wouldn't notice
<4> "Good wine has dust on it"
<2> MrAshe, boy you hate this guy, eh?
<4> If anyone is brilliant, they will be able to give me the exact quote and title of the movie now.
<0> I don't hate him, he's one of the reasons why I gets bonuses and a higher salary
<2> heh he makes you look good?
<2> MrAshe, where do you work?
<4> Too late, it was 'Firewall' and the exact quote is "It will be dusty"
<2> erm
<2> i have never heard of that film
<4> 2006
<2> does that mean i am a cretin?
<2> AD?
<0> MmmCake: Alcatel
<1> brilliant people don't watch ****ty movies
<2> heh
<4> It's a nerd movie about computers from 2006, and you didn't see it?
<2> no
<0> Why would anyone watch another Hackers crap
<2> i tend to avoid mainstream movies
<1> i tend to avoid movies in general.
<4> ok, 71 people on the channel... 99% of the people are stupid... *does math*
<2> also, yeah, computer films, int he mainstream, are all stupid because if you actually know something about computers they seem contrived, fake, and retarded
<1> indeed. it pains me to watch "hacking" in movies.
<1> and i know relatively nothing about computer security and whatnot.
<1> i could imagine how IT guys feel.
<4> MmmCake: This one has been advised by some guy who really knows what's going on... I wasn't bothered by wrong things in the movie.
<0> You don't understand NineVolt
<0> The virus is in the hidden recycle bin directory!
