Scientists are usually smart
Philosophers are overrated

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

Einstein was quite clearly better than Von Neumann, imo

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

Bad memory

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

just names, in fact

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

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

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

Next lesson? Perhaps
 
manlet med battle itt
 

didnt even open the thread when i saw the last reply is from you, tbh

i get that you love big words considering you have more estrogen in your body than jlo
 
von neumann is below einstein bro.

eugene weigner approved it
 
What about william james sidis, goethe and pythagoras?

I had an argument over my join date earlier and just looking at the snowy grass outside of my window was enough to make me feel shame about it
