can you be smart without reading?

[isis_Bleach]

can someone out of their own character be so intellectual and insightful that they are one of the great intellectuals, as matthew, mark, john, matthew, jesus, and plato were, even if they have never read a book or gone to school in their whole life?

to help u answer think about a retard who goes to school and studies philosophy and all the great, compared to a high iq slave. which one is more intellectual?

 

[esoterik]

yes.... intellectuality comes from mainly genetics, reading alot is just a trait. its not really important

would plato (in ur avi) have been a man so great as he was, if he never knew anything?

no, being a intellect is able manipulating what you know, if you know nothing than you cant come out with any banger of writings

there are probably studies on this, but i feel like if i hadn't been raised with reading books, i would be dumber than i am now

so he could not have come up with anything great if all he knew was the experience of living itself? for example if jesus or plato were locked in a basement until they grew 18, would they still be able to show their extraordinary insightfulness?

ive never read a book in my life

They could have more intelligence but what theyd discuss wouldnt be as relevant

 

[NoLongerHuman]

for example if jesus or plato were locked in a basement until they grew 18, would they still be able to show their extraordinary insightfulness

i mean, if you just think about it, how could they produce any great works if they knew absolutely nothing asides sitting in a basement for 18 years?

if they did that AFTER they gained a certain degree of knowledge, in that case, they may be able to show their greatness, cus yk they be lockin in n shi

You can be high IQ

But not knowledgeable

in a locked basement u still experience the bruality of life itself, although that is unsolvable tbh, so yea they wouldve been retarded retards in the scenario i described.

you can’t be smart without reading

all specialized knowledge is from reading

nope, they would just output a unique perspective on their experience with the darkness in that basement

philosophical ideas are pretty much obvious to anyone with a high iq and baseline education, but only those who are conscientious enough to be the first to write it down are the ones who got famous.

high spatial iq helps in the natural sciences, but otherwise you need a lot of foundational knowledge

 

[slavicpsycho]

I only read on this site tbh i never opened a book since age 5 and school dropout. I’m super high IQ though like 200s range

No, you don't nigger. the near 200s range is reserved for actual brain moggers like Von Neumann, Gauss and Newton. When you study any real subject in university their names are mentioned like every two seconds. Von Neumann could speak 4+ languages and mastered calculus by age 8. You can't even use form a grammatically correct sentence.

I often see dumb and uninformed people confuse knowledge with intelligence. They are two seperate things.

A genius who has never read a book would just probably be very efficient at what he does. Faster and more comprehensive learning through trial and error would make the person develop more efficient methods in a shorter amount of time. Like a very good driver, basketball player or a worker... Similar to how an intelligent animal would be compared to it's own kind...

That being said, I don't think an intelligent human can ever not be into reading at all. That is because the number 1 trait dor intelligence is  curiosity.

 

[RICHCELDOM]

Intelligent individuals often have a natural curiosity and an intrinsic drive to learn, explore new ideas, and challenge their minds. This desire for intellectual stimulation often leads them to read extensively, engage in problem-solving activities, and seek out knowledge in a variety of fields. For high-IQ individuals, the process of acquiring information can feel effortless because they tend to grasp complex concepts quickly and make connections between different pieces of information.

Yes, it's called being street smart...
