Actually most intelligent people do not think they are intelligent.

fernandoc:
There is always this misconception among our young Nigerian ladies of today that playing ‘hard to get’ is the sure way of identifying a guy who truly desires and cherishes them. This notion is not only fallacious, it also stands on a sinking foundation! There are guys who would play along with you to the end just to ‘get down with you’ and eventually show you the EXIT SIGN when it is time for them to take a leave It doesn’t matter the method you use in playing the so-called ‘hard to get’. If you like, do it in a Chinese style or Zimbabwean style!!! Dat nor be dia concern!!!





On a serious note, that a guy doesn’t have time to start running after you like a kindergaten child doesn’t mean he never desired you or liked you in sincerity. Different strokes for different folks, they say Below are the types of guys that find it difficult to tolerate ‘hard to get’ in romantic affairs:
1) Intelligent guys

These set of guys find it difficult to tolerate all the unnecessary rigmarole that comes with a lady playing hard-to-get. Do you think an intelligent person doesn’t know he is? You cannot be the one to tell him; he knows it. He probably has some real brain-storming stuffs to do that can create wealth and help others as well other than chasing you up and down the road or calling your line several times without any response on daily basis!
2) Ambitious guys

When I say ‘ambitious’, I’m not talking of guys who wake up in the morning with huge wraps of indian hemp in their hands with loud talk of ‘I go hammer, I go hammer’!!! I mean guys who have concrete dreams and are working towards it. They probably won’t have time to chase you here and there when they know they have lot and lot of work to do. There’s a difference between chasing women and dating a girl; you probably don’t expect the latter to slow down his dreams! He might need you sincerely; he doesn’t want to chase women.

But how ?

YourMain:


Because the more you know the more questions that arise. And the more questions that arise the more you realise you do not know. So intelligent people have more things that they do not know and the world does not know. And unlike non intelligent people they can't just google the answers and be satisfied. Leaving them feeling not as intelligent as "normal" people.

So mo' intelligence mo' problems

This is crap

so Einstein didn't know he was smart? tell me something

From the words of shakesphere himself "The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool."

Geniuses like Einstein do not think they are geniuses, they can't answer the questions they themselves have. Einstein never regarded himself as a genius.

Quick question,what was Einsteins greatest "achievement"?
I don't know much about the dude.
But you do.

Lessonteacher:
real intelligence,like that of Einstein takes place at unconscious level...

EnigmaticEnigma:


ur throwing in too many terms, which though similar, differ quite a bit.

wise, genius, intelligence

I maintain that Einstein knew he was intelligent, but maybe never saw himself as either wise or being a genius.

When you've built on basic logic skills in life, together with a certain amount of discipline, intelligence follows, genius follows with a total dedication to one's craft and wisdom only comes from God.

Most of them. And those are the ones in their late teens and above. geniuses below 15 are the worst, they humble brag all the damn time. I was one of them. and now, if I look back at how I behaved then, I always face palm.



General Relativity.

I'm not sure if you saw the thread about gravitational waves that made front page a few days/weeks earlier. He predicted those waves 100 years ago. of course, That's just my opinion, other physicist think that his study of photo-electricity is.

YourMain:


Then yall must not be geniuses

YourMain:


Lol.

No. You think you're intelligent it's cause you know things people don't know. Having basic logic skills doesn't make you intelligent. If you knew 1 + 1 is 2 you wouldn't consider yourself intelligent.

Einstein never thought himself intelligent. He spent his life trying to find answers to things he doesn't know. He didn't know things. He died not knowing things. I'm sure you can google it! Ugh.

EnigmaticEnigma:


no, that it iss real genius that takes place at that level, not basic or advanced intelligence.

EnigmaticEnigma:


yes, knowing that 1+1 equals 2, does make the both of us somewhat intelligent.

for instance, how many dogs do you know that can do simple additional? there's a reason humans are referred to as intelligent species, yet the lowly ant is deemed wise for it's organizational skills.

back to humans for a sec, I hope you know that there are humans out there that can't do simple arithmetic, one of the basic building blocks for advanced intelligence, like in remote villages and so on.

however, since humans are innately intelligent species, those referred to above who lack the basic building blocks for advanced intelligence, would obviously still acquire intelligence in minute forms, but such wouldn't even measure up to the world's standard today for being seen to be intelligent.

anywho rant over, whew

Lessonteacher:
i meant subconscious not unconscious.. If u say say ,though, i think its hard to be consciously highly intelligent

YourMain:


Lol I don't know haha. I don't know what he considered his greatest achievement.

You try though

Thanks teempakguy
