who cares if it was copy paste? (seriously) And the student's argument was a valid one.

While I'll agree that the collective knowledge of the world in 2000BC was much lower than the collective knowledge of today, some of the greatest thinkers in history pre-dated the 20th century. I've heard arguments by philosophy professors that Aquinas had an IQ that exceeded 200 (of course, there was no IQ test at that time)...and he lived in the 13th century.

I'd hardly consider him an idiot
rofl you have no idea

IQ is based on the intelligence of one person versus the intelligence of the average person.

Let's say my IQ is 130. If everyone else in the world suddenly got more intelligent somehow, then my IQ would drop. IQ is not a definite number. It's a variable that changes.

People of ancient times were stupid. They had no concept of science at all, and science is the cornerstone of intelligence. Sure, there were geniuses then who probably rival the geniuses of our time intelligence-wise, but mostly, people were morons.

And by the way, you don't have to tell me that intelligence is different from knowlege. Honestly. What the hell. I wasn't even saying that them not having knowlege was the same as them not having intelligence. But think for a moment. What good is any kind of intelligence if it's not stimulated with knowlege? It might as well not even exist, even if it does.

Oh and just so you know, I'm sure that if I time traveled back to ancient times, gave everyone (literally EVERYONE, not just those who are known to be intelligent) an IQ test, and tested myself, I would estimate my IQ to be around 300.

No. It wasn't. Just because something cannot be seen does not prove that it scientifically doesn't exist, WHEN THERE IS SCIENTIFICALLY SUPPORTED EVIDENCE OF IT EXISTING IN EVERY OTHER HUMAN EVER.

That was simple.

As I've originally heard this debate, the student is Albert Einstein.

You've already demonstrated once that you don't understand how to think at all, much less with any sort of intelligence.

You don't need to do so again.

Haha.

Taking away "Nerds" to replace it with "Geeks".

That's an improvement is it not? I mean, I wear a shirt that clearly labels me as a geek with the text "geek." on the shirt. Not like my other shirts don't do it, it's just more subtle with those other shirts.

SO BACK TO THE DISCUSSION OF DRUGS.

I never said that.

I said that we have more knowlege.

As a completely seperate thing, I said that we AS A WHOLE are more intelligent than the ancient people AS A WHOLE. See: my little thing about going back in time and giving everyone an IQ test and comparing the results to my own IQ test results.
