Is mankind becoming more intelligent or stupid? | Forums

Stoked on this kind of thing.

As I previously said. Stupid.

Look at India. Those kids are geniuses. Why? Not becuase they're Indian, but because they're learning to do the same things that we are, WITHOUT calculators.

The reason why kids over there are (far) more superior in some jobs is because the only way how to get out of the missery that is being born in such poor countries, is being good in what they do! So they learn!

As albert einstein said about 70 or so years ago "It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity.”

This quote seems more true now than ever before. A war between super powers doesn't seem too unlikely in this unsettled age of worry and distress.

Bahahaha I thought the exact same thing.

The TC's argument seemed to come straight out of that movie.

And not everyone from India is a genius like the quoted post implies, of course. But indeed, the way to earn money for yourself and your family is to get really good at what you do, not just stick with a decent knowledge.

But getting a good job does not necessarily mean that you know a lot. From my point of view it is more about how professional you market and present yourself. Naturally this is not that important if you have your own company but how many people really do....
