What do you believe makes a person smart /b/?
I personally think it's tolerance because you're smart enough to realise that people can like/hate what they want and you're okay with that.
Being white.
the capacity of interact with your reality
>>687502854
Curiosity. People who never asks questions never find answers.
not being a nigger
>>687502854
Discernment. The ability to judge well. Tolerance has nothing to do with intelligence imho.
heightened sensory perception combined with a masterful ability to interpret that sensory data
fried chicken
watermelon n koolaid

>I personally think it's tolerance because you're smart enough to realise that people can like/hate what they want and you're okay with that.
That doesn't make any sense. So we shouldn't stop murderers, bank robbers and ISIS because "people can like/hate what they want"? You're an idiot.

ones intelligence quotient is very difficult to measure. I believe the ability to dip into several of the multiple intelligences to a reasonable degree would be what most would consider to be "smart" though there are some that believe the ability to master one type of intelligence is what makes someone smart.
My personal belief is that either of these answers can be correct. A jack of all trades and master of none type of brilliance can make for a more well rounded individual and thus they are perceived in a more positive light (Think the jock that also got straight A's and was highly sociable.) while the strictly hyper focused in one area (Jock that is a meat head but amazing at sports, or geek that gets all A's but has the coordination or a toddler) are techincally more proficient in one field but people tend to focus on their shortcomings rather than their proficiency in their given field.
Smart is somewhat subjective in the end but I side with the well rounded over the one trick pony type of mind.

politics are boring as fuck, but I do have my ethics that are reasonable and I love to get thing taught so... philosophy on the other hand is something Im very interested in, but I have the feeling that guys are all about names and remember important philosophers, while girls are more about the idea and concept... so I kinda look stupid when talking about this subject cause I never remember the philosophers name..
>>687510432
Yeah, so what? That doesn't mean you have to bend over and spread your ass cheeks for those people, fuck their opinions. Anyone who supports bank robbers, murderers or ISIS, is a fucking idiot and should never be taken serious, and if you do consider their opinion, then you're a fucking moron and not intelligent whatsoever.
>>687510441
My steps to a long lasting realtionship.
1) Find something you are passionate about.. it can be anything. Sewing, video games, sports, ect.
2) Seek out like minded individuals.
3) Engage in activities surroundings this personal passion.
4) Look within this circle for people you enjoy being around.
5) Nut up and ask them out.
6) Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
Ultimately, those that share the same hobbies/likes are more likely to stick together... and honestly the stranger the better because being able to indulge in your weirdness rather than hiding it is insanely liberating.

Don't you think those same bank robbers,murders, and isis members say the same thing about you?So who is really a fucking moron and not intelligent whatsoever,you or them???
>>687502854
I agree tolerance is probably part of the equation for intelligence/smartness. Being able to take a step back and see the bigger picture is very important I believe. Look at the recent news of teachers sleeping with students that seems to happen ever week. Not to say whether it's actually "wrong" or "right", I think a smart person wouldn't overreact like most. They would would take an eclectic approach and try to reason out why this is happening taking into account past human trendecies and cultures.
sleeping less than 8 hours every night
>>687511697
I have found that 7.5 hours is optimal but I can function just fine on 7
I think the most important thing is the ability to question yourself and get over your emotions. Not just obvious emotions but emotional attachments to positions and beliefs. Supposedly being shown evidence against what you believe can actually make you believe it more. Intelligent people are at least aware of this and try hard to rise above it.
>>687502854
The correct answer is very simple: the size and the weight of a brain.
>>687511228
You know philosophy isn't just about famous philosophers. How can you not be interested in how the world is run I.E. Politics?
>>687511239
An intelligent person can learn something from anyone, whether it's the thing the other person thought they were teaching or not
>>687510441
What the actual fuck is wrong with you? Stop being self-centered and maybe do something with your life, rather than shit posting on 4chan.
>>687511996
"I have never met a man so ignorant that I couldn't learn something from him." -Galileo Galilei
>>687511632
I don't think it's tolerance so much as asking yourself if something really matters, if it's really a problem or is it just your stupid human instincts? It's not a big difference but I think there's a distinction between tolerance and acceptance.

I dont know... I cant take anything regarding politics/politicians serious at all, its all just a big fake theater to controll the people. All they do is ruin the world, the nature... I hate thinking about power. I just want to live in a tiny cottage in the woods... I heard of a movement that wanted only scientists as governent.. that sounded interesting. But anything else? Its just every country government doing the same thing: lying about their interests
>>687502854
Fine, I'll take this obvios bait.
You're mixing up the cause with the effect. Being tolernat in no fucking way may ever make you smarter, on the other hand you could possibly become more tolerant if you are intellingent and then realise it's for your own benefit.
As to the intelligence itself, it all depends on measures. We have people doing great in the intelligence tests, who can never cope with the most basic problems... It all depends on the measure we use
>>687512899
>>687511970
whoops
>>687511613
You didn't answer my question, it's irrelevant who is right and besides if I explain why I'm right and they're wrong, you'll just say the same thing again "They think the same about you, so who's right?!". The real question is, why should you tolerant murders, bank robbers and ISIS just because "people can like/hate what they want"?
>>687512737
To deny they fact that humans are apes and apes are omnivorous is perhaps the dumbest outlook to take. You can hate the standards of how animals are treated in farms ect. But to say you should never ever eat meat is to deny your biology.

No, an intelligent person realizes that you can't learn anything of value from certain people (like ISIS). Also, that doesn't explain why you should tolerate people who try to kill you just because "mah, someone has their own opinions."

Denying biology is what we fucking do. our speciality is not being restricted by what is "natural". To put it another way, natural for humans is to transcend nature.
Also, plenty of apes largely eat plants including other hominids like gorillas, bonobos and orangutans.

There are tons of online gaming communities and lots of conventions based around gaming. Sometimes it is even easier to get to know someone online first before meeting up face to face since most people are more relaxed with a limited measure of anonymity. Don't let love become the "goal" but rather an open option you are ready to explore. Enjoy doing what you love and romantic love very well may follow if you are open enough and brave enough.
>>687513233
Thank you, that one was also me.

Realise is actually correct, you moron. Only muricunts spell it with a Z, the rest of the world spells it like it's supposed to be. But I wouldn't expect an amerifat like you to know anything about the rest of the world.

thank you anon for these wonderful gifs.
Also, doing the opposite of most of your posts, makes you a decent guy.
>>687514548
I absolutely side with the fact there are a plethora of people with a plethora of outlooks. But if I may point out that even you have decided not to note any of my argument that you might find agreeable and instead focused on the part that you believed to be a shortcoming of my logic.
It is human nature to try to find faults when intimidated by the prowess of others. It is what slanderous news about celebrities is all over the internet and media yet the straight lace nice guy that does charity work gets little to no attention.
I'm not saying all people fit into this mold, but I will say that the vast majority certainly seem to.
>>687514486
Has nothing to do with being a native. Most people who don't learn English as a first language still manage to use it without looking like a retard.

Humans belong to the same monophyletic class as chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans, and the lesser apes. Though we are technically "Hominids" that terminology has become synonymous with "ape"

if there are types of intelligence, Im definitely nature intelligent! I have a lot of intuitive knowledge about plants and animals. I often dream about an endtime scenario in which I have to survive. Dont starve is such a perfect game for this
>>687515736
hominid means great ape (i.e. humans, gorillas, chimpanzees and orangutans), not ape in general.

Definitely This. Almost didn't even respond to this shitty thread because of op's obvious b8.
this has been fun

OP here.
Seems like a lot of you dislike the idea of tolerance being the equivalent of intelligence.
I get that, it makes sense because you look like someone who just lets the world roll by.
I'm glad to see that most of ppl who post here realise that IQ isn't a real measurement of intelligence rather it's a measurement of the ability to connect the dots - which in it's own way is what being smart is but not necessarily the only valid option.
I like the idea of being jack of all trades, too bad i can't accomplish that. i'm only mediocre at everything i do even though i'm a fast learner.
>>687515986
Great Apes and Lesser Apes are the two groupings of the same thing.. Apes. You're making the argument of "that's not a hat, that's a fedora" but both words can describe the same thing.. one is just more specific.
>>687515919
are you by any chance European?
>>687516303
>"Hominids" that terminology has become synonymous with "ape"
That is incorrect. A hominid is an ape but it doesn't mean they mean the same thing. It's like saying "rabbit" means "animal" because a rabbit is an animal. It's slightly pedantic I know but wtf are we doing in a thread about being smart if we can't be a bit pedantic about the facts?
>>687515878
If you want to continue looking like a complete idiot, then go ahead and knock yourself out. Just don't complain when people stop taking you seriously.

Listen up, kiddo. The word 'smart' has multiple meanings.
>intelligent
OP is not so smart, eh?
>good looking
Thats a smart looking codpiece you're wearing!
>painful
Ouch, that smarts!
I'll assume you're referring to intelligence. I can't tell you what makes a person intelligent, but whatever that certain something is, you don't have it. And you are also a faggot.
A combination of book learning and practical skills / experience, combined with enough emotional control to handle any situation.
Forethought and common sense.
Lot of good a 140 IQ does if you're too inept to change a tire.
>>687516656
Well, to be fair we are talking apples and oranges here. Hominid is a taxonomic term while Ape is not. The term ape is an oversimplification of a complex terminology and to that point I do agree. However, since this is /b/ I steered toward the simple over the complex.
Understanding is what makes a person smart.
You don't have to like something, but if you don't strive to at least try to understand something, you shouldn't be allowed to have an opinion about it.
>>687517145
Yeah his description of intelligence is more about ego. In the type of intelligence he is talking about I think that is more ego death than "tolerance". Do you know what I mean?
The ability/speed to recognise patterns and create new connections in your brain.
>>687502854
Fuck off, kike shill. 'Tolerance' is propaganda being used to turn our natural empathy against us, to convince us to favor 'minorities' over ourselves, and to further white genocide.
>>687510935
because you're a nigger
>>687517096
Just because it's 4chan, doesn't mean people can never have serious discussions here.
>>687502854
In my opinion OP, I think intelligence is strong social skills and being able to "step back" from yourself and remove the charectar mask and ego attached to your WHOLE life. Being humble, thinking intuitively, and being quick on your feet is what intelligence is to me. I also think being able to see through society and other peoples bullshit is a big quality of intuition. Self discipline is another big one. Maybe I'm describing success more than intelligence.
>>687517231
OK, wasn't saying you didn't know it, just thought it was worth pointing out. I think of ape as just the common word for hominoids but people use it in all sorts of ways so you're right about that.
>>687509701
they are totally our fault though.
>>687513703
If that's the way you think, you're pretty stupid.
>>687518209
Oh, I *love* having serious inteligent discussions here. In fact I had some with the most intelligent people I met in my life
>and then sometimes a faggot like you comes and spoils the fun
>>687518089
Lol thinking any conspiracies could be orchestrated at a high level like that. Yeah, you're the dumbass. I think the part that is wrong about tolerance is that it isn't a global approach but a racial approach. Blacks are rascist pieces of shit.
>>687514940
True because no matter how intelligent these NEETS who spend all their time on internet forums think how smart they are they will never be remembered for anything other than trolling some camwhore off the net.
>>687513703

>>687518999

>>687518586
Your fun gets spoiled as soon as someone points who that your spelling is bad? Boy, are you autistic. If it's bothers you so much, maybe take some English classes or learn to use spell check? Not that hard if you're not completely retarded and a lazy piece of shit. I doubt you're able to have any sort of intelligent or meaningful interacts with anyone, especially since you can't respond with anything but ad hominems.
>>687502854
Intelligence is pretty multifaceted, but I'd have to say if you were to pinpoint the thing all different types of smart have in common, it's the ability to visualize problems effectively and adapt and learn based on entirely internal reflections.
Basically, a smart person can simply learn faster than someone who isn't because their brain is better at simulating things and learning from those simulations than others.
A smart person can do that for one thing he's likely obsessed with, a genius can do it for whatever he wants.
The general belief that intelligence is just IQ and raw brainpower is incorrect, there are a lot of autists that can do math, paint, socialize, etc really well, but if they can't apply their skills to multiple disciplines they're not smart, they're just obsessive enough that they have become skilled.
True intelligence is the marriage between pattern recognition, mental agility, creativity, and an open mind.
>>687502854
Imagination. The ability to create new ideas given less than a complete picture.
>>687515113
The rest of your post was passable but rather general, you weren't actually saying a whole lot that isn't obvious. Anyway I always think of an absence of criticism as tacit approval when I'm on 4chan.
And btw your "but the majority do" defense is the oldest trick in the book.
>>687518871
You can learn from anything, whether or not it's of value is another question.
