I find that the word intelligence has been put into great misuse. Take for example the Iraq war. CIA stands for Central Intelligence Agency when its job is to gather Information that answers questions of the yes/no type such as "Does Iraq have weapons of mass destruction, yes or no?" To answer that question you don't really need intelligence, you need good spying skills that get you the information you need in order to answer it. What the CIAs of the US failed to do was gather and provide Correct Information, not correct Intelligence. That's not their job nor should it be. That's why I think CIA should stand for Central Information Agency instead. (read more)

Information or Intelligence? |

I want to create a LIQ test. LIQ means Lack of Intelligence Quotience. Can you suggest the right questions to ask in order to measure lack of intelligence? (I use lack of intelligence here as the politically correct term for sheer stupidity) There's a catch. The LIQ test is not for dumb people to take, it is actually for the smart ones. Smart people will have difficulty getting a high score on the LIQ test but if they manage to do it, then they must be exceptionally smart and brilliant to be able to fool it. If dumb people score low, however, should they be considered too smart or too dumb?

Even if a woman is naturally very pretty, she still puts on make-up to look more beautiful and attractive when she goes out. If she doesn't overdo it with the make-up and her dress, no man will think she is arrogantly flaunting her beauty despite the fact that most people think to themselves that she is pretty even without the make-up. The truth is that all men will welcome and enjoy the extra beauty she has put on display. Why can't that be the case with intelligence as well? I have noticed that men become very defensive when they meet someone who's smarter than them. Why can't the reaction to something as beautiful as a smart mind be the same as the reaction to something as beautiful as a pretty face?

Do you think revenge should define how civilized our species is? Humans take revenge but animals don't! Despite such behavior, we believe that only ours is the most civilized species. We're smarter but no more civilized than animals. In order to survive animals follow the law of the jungle. If they had intelligence like ours they wouldn't. Revenge might be caused by intelligence that we possess and animals don't. One of the few really smart things we've accomplished is to base social life on Justice and not Revenge. Yet many people still think that Justice is not served until Revenge is taken. What's your view?

To become acquainted with the so-called humane process of government information extraction (some may call torture), citizens could volunteer their time to test the legitimacy of these techniques based on a compilation of given intelligence. The volunteers would be given intelligence that is worthless or vital to the tortures, yet the subjects and the tortures would be unaware of its validity. Given the proper incentives (say money) for the tortures to extract the information and subjects to keep it, and base the payout to a final decision as to whether the victim is a threat and/or hiding potential information, we may collect enough information about torture to weigh its benefits versus its costs

Google ranks the web by popularity. Wouldn't it be great if we could rank the web by intelligence or other attributes? People's IQ is measured in tests, why not measure the content of websites similarly and then filter search results accordingly?
Google probably has the brains and resources to offer such service in the future. For example, if I do a keyword search for 'subprime market tips', I want to filter the display of my search results so that I get the websites with most intelligent content only and not those with the most popular content. I know it sounds nice but people might say it's not possible to do. Google succeeded as a search engine because it was smarter due to the accuracy of its searches. Why not add intelligence or other attributes in the display of its searches?

If you're not smart I don't expect you will ever appreciate my concept. But if you are, I know you've already thought about it on your own and so I grant you free admission to the class of the best and the brightest. The IQ university only requires testing your IQ every semester to make sure it never drops. When you score higher with every new test, you graduate with Honors. The stick is IQ tests. The carrot is endless parties! No studying, no reading, no homework. (read more)

I have in mind students who come up with creative ways to cheat at school. Should teachers and parents encourage those kids to pursue careers in government and spy agencies? At least that's where that kind of ingenuity is rewarded, right? Big question is, in addition to be ethically wrong is cheating also a sign of intelligence and a skill to be encouraged for kids who show such proclivity?

A biceptual is someone that pumps up his muscles with creativity, knowledge, wit and intelligence. He biceptualizes while he sits on the bench and lifts weights. When he trains with a lot of enthusiasm, he shows the world what a horny biceptual he is. His brain is so pumped up its muscles look like this guy's. When he flexes his biceps, veins pop out on the head and beautiful concepts drip down low. Everyone falls on his concepts and touches his biceps. It starts mental, it ends physical and vice-versa. That's the benefit of being a bi-ceptual!! (lol)
