lol if you think anyone here with an iq above 95 cares about this. and we are presenting him as the product of our own country anyway. but when you are spammed with his muh genius throughout your childhood, you start diving deeper and realize most of it is just hype

newton is literally the antichrist, as he himself realized. shut down theology on a dare.

von neumann

This guy made it clear that we need to look not for aliens but for their machines. Btw rn von Neumann probes can observe us from the Kuiper Belt

 

[Quicksand]

Gibbs, Clausius, Boltzmann, Poincaré, Helmholtz
All comparable to Von Neumann, perhaps even better

Einstein was quite clearly better than Von Neumann, imo

Oh dear god

How does it feel to know nothing about the founders (or key contributors) of thermodynamics (just one example), except their names, and to keep mentioning von Neumann while pretending to have in-depth knowledge of history's top geniuses, even though you only know the five or ten most famous names?

I've seen this thread at least twice before

Von Neumann is in my stupid personal top 3 (IQ, definitely not for how revolutionary he was), by the way


You're a lawyer, right? Yeah
Stick to that

 

[Overlord-]

You forgot to mention Judith Butler

lol at assuming i know nothing about those side characters. lol at treating thermodynamics as anything but a D tier discipline

i d stop posting in threads like this one if i were you

You're a lawyer, right? Yeah

reminder this clown has a degree in ... psychology

stick to discussions about deja vu tier topics with your 99 iq roastie colleagues, lil' bro

Degree in… physics
Bad memory

 

[Big Daddy]

Degree in… physics
Bad memory

is that how they tell you to spell it after giving you a "hard" lesson about ... halo effect?

 

[Quicksand]

I'm pretty sure you don't know anything about that, it's not an assumption.

I could mention 20 other names that you barely know

no you couldn't, i have a .docx file with like 400 guys to namedrop when i want to feel smart

did you actually expect your post was gonna shake my list up or mess up this thread? just lol at your sentience if so

 

[Quicksand]

no you couldn't, i have a .docx file with guys to namedrop when i want to feel smart

just names, in fact

If I asked you a specific question, you would have to look it up on Wikipedia

 

[14vic]

Honorable mention to the list would be Kant imo

I just wanted to remind you how limited your knowledge is, and while you're at it, define sentience for me

 

[Big Daddy]

Special mention to the list would be Kant imo

hegel over him. but still better than those from my bonus 5 list by a wide margin

 

[Big Daddy]

perception superior in relation to that of the average human

I tried reading Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit and couldn't even finish 50 pages. Maybe true but he has a language that only a few can understand

and i m one of them

 

[Quicksand]

Decent, but let me define it better for you
One’s ability to make observations, or the depth to which you can do that

 

[Quicksand]

Difference between observation and perception?

Next lesson? Perhaps
