Kierkegaard is for chumps.

Care to elaborate on that? I look up to him a great, great deal. - He provided more insight for the individual then even Nietzsche.

So make your point boss - how is he for chumps?

Subjectivity as truth is the biggest load of horse **** ever devised by man. It is the exact opposite of what science reveals. At least science doesn't have the pretension to think it can possess truth... science gives the best explanation for the here and now. If there is anything I don't have patience for, it is debating pop philosophy on the internet.

There is not a great deal to debate - we are not capable of even knowing 'truth'. I'm making the case that existentialism is great for battling existential depression/crisis that occur when someone posses a nihilistic ideology - it provides an outlet. I'm a bit of a determinist myself, the randomness of electrons in quantum mechanics is what keeps me from saying there is ZERO free will - however it is certainly not in the makeup of those having their virtue and self made through collective reasoning.

And sure science gives the best explanation for here and now, but I don't know how that could aid someone experiencing an existential crisis. - Sure, entanglement theory leading me to believe that despite the 'importance' I'm saying of personality development their could maybe(?) be a collective conscious due to everything being entangled pre-bang? And Nassim Haramein taking the universe to the subatomic level expounded on Einsteins space-time curve saying it was a double torus shape making an 'infinite feedback loop' with infinite energy - sorta sounds like.. you know! consciousness? - could give meaning that there is something beyond us.

I however personally experience a subjective consciousness - so the idea that there is nothing worthwhile in exploring existentialism because there is no truth seems silly - basically all is relative.

:shrug: I want to write though on applied psychology/philosophy for those that find the void and angst a great burden to shoulder.

I respect and see your point. I am personally experiencing a subjective consciousness so I see value in existentialism.

Your reference to quantum mechanics in that pop-culture, hand-waving, spiritual sense proves you the embodiment of the Dunning-Kruger effect. Perhaps that is why you raise your idea here at a fitness forum rather than at a high-IQ or philosophy forum? Because quantum mechanics?

Ha! I use more than one forum! - this book is for those in the collective anchoring stages they all unintentionally partake in.

-Dunning–Kruger effect never heard of that so I will look into it. - but I reference quantum mechanics in a hand-waving/spiritual sense making the case for this guy I'm talking to that science can not give meaning to the individual! -_-

I don't think I actually believe there is a 'collective conscious'!?

cutting edge physics suggests that the reality we precieve doesn't really match the physical world, matter is mostly empty space and its really the contructs of your own perception that prevents your had from passing though a solid counter top...

-true, space itself like actual dimensional space could be nothing but an illusion.

sheesh..wishing I didn't entertain your point to begin with. - seriously made your point about Kierkegaard knowing absolutely nothing about Kierkegaard.

Ok - keep PMing me if any of you want to discuss further. Not angry, but certainly can't waste time on this further.

hmmm... actually seeing some interesting things when i looked up what IQ score actually constitutes genius.

In college i took a class called test and measurements. They said that 100 is average, a standard deviation is 15, and two standard deviations is statistically significant.

So if you ask me, technically 130 is genuis, and i think that you can get into Mensa with that score. This would represent less then %5 of the population. but a lot of what i'm reading suggest 140 IQ is genuis, which would actually be less then 1% of the population according to the sites i've been looking at.

I love it when people say 'i got X on the IQ test, but I'd have done even better if it was not for the math'.

There is no math on an IQ test. Certainly not an computational math. If it does, whatever you took was not a real IQ test. if i remember correctly, an actual IQ test, such as the WISC, has very few words on it period. Your just supposed to recognize the question based on whats there... like you see a series of pictures, and then your supposed to pic the next logical picture in the sequence from the multiple choice answers... or patern recognition, etc.

IDK, its been awhile, but from what i remember it was quite a bit different then any traditional test, which is not typically the feed back i get from people claiming to have aced whatever 'IQ' test

Ironic, since peacocks are dumb as rocks.

lol that is a bit ironic.

Just want to say that I love your profile picture, it reminds me of Orange is the new Black.

I was lead to believe that 140 was genius, 130 is significantly gifted, 120+ is highly gifted.

And yeah, there wasn't any math on any of the IQ test I've done - but there were numbers in many of the pattern recognition questions.

I think they also gauge your age and gender in it as well - women tend to score higher from what I've read - kid you not.

Don't know how beneficial it is once you break out terms like simpleton, accusations like "left to your own devices many of you move strictly off of impulse & 'herd' mentality rather then forming your own identity".

The current manner of enforcement of the community guidelines is entirely perplexing to me.

Yah. That's why it's such a low score. The OP should not have been overtly insulting, It is antithetical to his original premise. I guess there's always next time.

I referenced Nietzsche's point of the difference between the gifted individual being as different from primitive man as an ape is to the primitive man.

When I mention the above, sure it sounds condescending - then again I feel like I was just being direct - if you look into positive disintegration almost every average person is only at stage 1- aka moving off of impulse, and herd mentality - and yes I believe you all lack free will and take a very deterministic outlook when considering the odds of you having any free will.

Condescending? - You condescend your inner self by not crafting your own identity. - that is the true fault.
