Imagining Superintelligence

[obsidian]

There was a really bad line in a movie I once saw, when someone asked a master criminal how he came up with his schemes, he replied "I imagine somebody smarter than myself, and I say, 'what would he do?'"

How would YOU define genius?

Hmm.

I've consistently scored in the high 140s to 158 (my best). Amusingly, the bar for genius always seems to be just a few points higher than at what I test, so obviously someone smarter than me.

Outstanding creative or intellectual prowess which is usually due to a naturally gifted abilty in any given field.

I don't think he was looking for Webster's, but something cute.

Genius is whatever Pinky would have done that night if Brain hadn't had plans.

How's that for 'cute'?

Not really, no. Although some imagination couldn't hurt.

Ok, this one only works for the Brits.

How would YOU define genius?

By being a retarded housemate on Big Brother and having Davina interview you at the end.

YOU WERE A GEEEEEENIUS HOUSEMATE!
