From Where Ideas Originate

High-IQ is a curse from birth. It means one will have original ideas that others will consider crazy. Best to keep most of one's ideas to oneself.

and yet your starting premise is that i have a high iq
and your conclusion is that i don't

you are the one who is envious
now put on your mask
and go and get your fix of snake-oil / acupuncture
from your godless commie chinese masters
because they ORDERED you to
and you are too terrified to simply fight back

i shall pray for your soul
as it suffocates itself to death
with fake virus cures
for fake viruses

perhaps buzz aldrin will come and save you with his moon-buggy

I'm not really sure, but I think I agree with your last words.

All what I can understand as the barrier that blocks us to get the ideas or their source is the nature of our mind. I don't know that exactly barriers. If to say it logically or mathematically I'd compare it to the equations. Any knowledge we have has one of such forms x=y. And that's all. How to extract x or y? - It's a question, but there's always only one road to this - using logic (because only this procedure can help us to imply something). And what logic says? How can it be helpful? - Not much: it says get me two another true arguments let's say x=z & z=y, and then we can get x=y.

Someone can ask me why do I think our first knowledge is kinda x=y? - I think that our investigation of something supposes it. Like, we want to answer on a question. And what the question is? - It's a form of x=something. So, all what we need is to put anything that satisfies x, and we've got some result. Then, to check it or to justify (falfisy) it, we have to find at least two extra arguments (supposed as true)... In general, all of this reminds me of our human usual situations when we should find two or more witnesses or two other people to uphold our decisions... 

Solving the "On the One Hand, On the Other Hand" Problem    

A question can be answered by a following event.  For example, was the first President Bush a patriotic war hero or, like bin Laden, merely a bored richkid looking for a thrill?  The fact that he committed treason by getting his gutless son out of having to fight the Communists shows that he was never a patriot, just an upper-class thrill-seeker.

Home, not just a house


I don't know about Bush. All I can say politics is dirty now. For me it's like a room you have to keep clean. It doesn't mean that the owner is bad when he cannot care for some reason his room, but what does matter is – to keep this room as your home, the place you want to come and stay here. Friends or decent people who live nearby – are those who help keep the room be home.

What? Smart people are made by strong will.
