And a few nits, because I'm personally sick of others coming up with their own contrived definitions of intelligence. All of which, unsurprisingly of course, also claim to be hyper intelligent. I wouldn't expect to have to explain any of the following to a polymath. - The ability to consume information (or the accumulated volume of information), even with perfect recall, is by no means a direct measure of intelligence -- large performant databases of useful information are by no means intelligent. And it's clear that you at least partially believe this, given your comments on the ability for others to "catch up". As if intelligence is something that can be measured linearaly to begin with (though, of course we try to approximate it). Does the path to catching up have to be linear wrt. time, or even continuous? No. The simplest counter-example being, maybe you've been reading garbage. - 3rd gear gives higher velocity than 1st gear, and the RPMs can be redlined in either case. Or maybe the measure is the potential of acceleration from stop, I don't know, but either way, this doesn't make sense. As a polymath I suppose your knowledge of transmissions must be a bit lacking. - I don't think people generally have a problem believing that people "like you" (polymaths) exist. It's more likely that people have a problem with you specifically claiming to be a polymath. - You must have repeatedly attempted to convey this belief of yourself. In this post, for one, but, moreso to the point of being _sick_ of people not believing people "like you" exist. |
