Why not make IQ tests and other intellectual tests a part of the registration process? Therefore people below a certain intellectual level would not be able to register. It would make this site very exclusive, but very intellectually elite.
Are you assuming that (nominally) smart people can't be utterly bone-headed and deluded? Or are you just looking for a "better class of woo woo"? Or are you assuming that "smart people" are never boring? Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
What moved you to come up with this idea? I have stated before that to have absolute control over membership they would have to be a process of exclusion. Though I am not particularly bothered with the way it is now save the whining and hypersensitivity that gets in the way of discussion. Not to mention the complete lack of a sense of humor or irony.
Regardless Norse, I'll second your proposal. Let's set the minimum limit for IQ at, say, 160. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
lots of people throughout history with genius IQ's have been completely insane. or maybe they were sane and the rest of us just couldn't keep up. either way, the results being sociopathic, i'm not sure if that would benefit a discussion forum. are you encumbered by having to explain everything to all the retards?
maybe i'm suggesting a cap too. or we can segregate the board into three forums, one for retards, one for normals, and one for sociopathic intellectuals.
ha ha ha. what a joke. people crack me up. every human should go to school and the only thing they need to do is repeat- i dont know. they do this for eight years. this way they dont grow up to be so arrogant. think of all the problems this would solve.
How about: The Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy finally stopped sinking in....? (a) 2008 (b) 1927 (c) It's still sinking :idea:
and then when one child say 'i know'' smash him with oine of those long rulers. Little Hitler: 'i know' *whack* 'you dont know, you only think you know' says the 'teacher'
hi gloucon. i do it all the time. i mean at some point you have to learn, it is impossible not to. first the child learns to speak. then after that we say from kindergarten to eight grade all the child needs to do is go to school every day and say those three words. then the child gets a loving look (positive reinforcement) from the teacher\guardian and the teacher says 'you are correct'. after that eight years the learning process proceeds\begins.
now also bear in mind that after saying those words the child just sits there for the duration. but he is not just sitting there because the child is thinking AND very important that there is no talking at all during this period. The close proximity to others and lack of communication is a key component. the student can look out the window too but what looks like doing nothing is accomplishing something because he sits there and thinks. it is a new approach and i hope to see this instituted sometime soon. just give me the credit for this. we will call it 'the john method'. also, this needs to be instituted globally. the problem is when they get home so in order to avoid cheating the children will live on campus. they will live in cubicles and have one single window. outside there (edit: look at the mistake i made there?) window will be a forest. the forest of course is man made and inhabited by mainly squirrels and some birds. good birds and not the nasty ones. the real learning comes from the squirrels. this is another key component. sure they can interact and listen to music. as a matter of fact anything geared towards art would be fine. parents come and visit once a day. and when they do the child runs up to the parent and hugs them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sE-sS_1JQZI&fmt=18
Yes,... in fiction. Plenty of evidence... watch "The last unicorn" if you don't believe me. (Not that I've ever seen it... cough cough.... hurm...)
Or just daydreaming about what's for lunch... Why no communication? No opportunity to discuss and reinforce what has been learnt. The learning comes from the squirrels? Sounds like an excellent basis for future scientists. I mean, everyone knows that squirrels currently lead the world in quantum theory and mathematics... And of course, keep the "nasty" birds well out of it, we wouldn't want to give the impression that the world is anything but sweetness and light would we? Oh, I get it. You're teaching children to be "creative" and artistic". "Hey, new guy, lend me a hand in designing the next generation of space shuttle." "Sure thing dude, you want me to listen to a song about it or do a finger-painting of my impression of the squirrels bravely piloting it into the er, out...? up...? Remind me again, what does this speece shontle you speak of actually do?" And this is your idea of education? Fuck, I need a new dictionary... Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
