the mark of an intelligent mind is the ability to entertain a thought even though you don't agree with it.

think about it.

TurboAngel · 10-08-2010, 01:08 PM

Ok........

heymatty · 10-08-2010, 01:10 PM

I always thought it was spelling ability above that of an 8 year old?

borked · 10-08-2010, 01:11 PM

with all due respect, I have never seen you reply to a post with eg "that's a very good point, but I disagree because..."

All I have ever seen is you doing is agreeing with people you like and saying "idiot" to those who disagree with you.

Which doesn't really go with your statement...

so what am I to believe here?

with all due respect (literally, unlike fatass sleazy that probably doesn't deserve any) to entertain a thought isn't to think it's a very good point.

You entertain it, consider it, make sure you understand it and THEN disagree with it and call them an idiot.

True, but only if you like to keep idiots entertained.

Empathy doesn't require intelligence.

minicivan · 10-08-2010, 01:33 PM

And if anyone can spot and judge intelligence, its this fucking idiot.

V_RocKs · 10-08-2010, 01:33 PM

Not sure about that one... let me think about it a bit more.

brandonstills · 10-08-2010, 01:34 PM

Well said. I wish scientists actually operated that way.

Empathy is actually FEELING what the other person feels. Sympathy is understanding where they come from at a more logical level.

I think a better way of saying it is that those willing to consider other possibilities may find faults in their own understandings and thus be able to gain knowledge from it. This leads to a wiser person. I think of intelligence as the throughput/capacity to think, not necessarily how wise they are. Someone can have a high intelligence but very little common sense.

Of course, just having an open mind doesn't help if you can not evaluate and come to rational conclusions.

If you're going to post a quote by one of the world's greatest thinkers, at least give him credit for it.

I automatically discount what I've just heard when the speaker ends with

"THINK about it".

and just what have you got against scientist?

That is the world's melting pot of debate right there. Under a magic public-invisible umbrella, everything is discussed, hypothesised, tested, debated, discounted. In continual flux.

Every now and then, one boffin pops his head out from under the umbrella and says to Joe Public "yeah, this is how it is, scientists agree" before disappearing back to join the argument on why it's wrong.

Much like GFY really, but less financially driven.
