LOL. The real genius is Errol Morris, bro, not his oh so modest subject. Right there in front of you, and yet you can't even see it. You're too busy being impressed by the most intelligent man, blahblah. Old art historian meltdown

Haha - is my inability to spell anything wrong irritating you Debussey?
No, its actually mad cool that you have synaesthesia that improves your spelling. It is suspected that Richard Feynman had some kind of synaesthesia as well.

Savant was perhaps the smartest person ever.
Marilyn vos Savant
and IQ tests over 200 are believed to be complete BS these days. Savant scored 230 back in the day but depending on the test she couldve got as low as 169.
IQ doesnt work too good for those at the extreme end of the spectrum.
Good point. There is very little data on very IQ people, like for 140-145+, which is natural due to the nature of the bell curve.

Isn't he the one who died when he was quite young? Anyway, Yawn, none of you are smart and everything you say is an insult to my intelligence  Yep. His father, Boris, was a psychologist with his own theories about "genius". Supposedly he used hypnotic techniques on William as a baby to promote his intellectual gifts. Wheter it worked or not is uncertain (it could have been just genetics), but his intellectual feats were unparalleled. His IQ has been estimated to 250, but the validity of this estimation is uncertain.

ive been wondering lately, id always thought da vinci probably held that title but now i think Archimedes may be pushing him. and then theres Imhotep, and theres probably great minds of antiquity from the east too that i dont know about, no doubt some Chinese and indians. who do you think is the smartest person ever?
oh and im about to workout arms btw gonna try to get some beef on my tiny bicep/forearm muscle bellies.
Probably William Sidis, the son of Boris Sidis, at least that is the one we know about.

Hmm. I guess all those years of critical analysis were for nothing. And I suppose going to museums, concerts, writing reviews and reading 000's of books were for nought, as well. Boy, do I feel like an idiot. Thanks to Getbig and Debussey for laying it out.  Yet you don't manage to back up anything. Or maybe you are trying to piss Debussey off by not backing up anything. The points here = simple: 1: Celine Dion is amazing at musicianship. She is an excellent singer, technically gifted. 2: Neil Young and similar folks suck at the points in 1. 3: The other things discussed = difficult to define and the answers can be as many as there are arseholes. Everybody's got one, but the main thing here was to argue and start make it entertaining. It did not get entertaining because a certain someone refused to get really dirty and start with the nasty insults before it was too late  PS: TO ALL OF GETBIG: DEBUSZSEY LOVES CELINE DION; MARIAH CAREY AND WHITNEY HOUSTON! GREAT VOICES, HOT WOMEN, YES!!!!

Celine Dion is a superbly skilled cipher. American Idol suggests itself as to why such nonsense is so popular these days. Pre-packaged sonic stew. Yes, she has great control, range and whatever other 'snobby' academy of music characteristics you want to throw out, but she will always be spectacle, not art. Always diva, not artist. Sorry, bro. Get over it.  You could also claim that 2+2 = 5 while you're at it, because you don't seem to want to argument for your ludacris claims. Not even an insult to spare  By definition she is both an artist and a musician. What you are doing is superimposing your own personal ideas about what constitutes these terms into this discussion and thereby moving away from the commonly accepted definitions of these terms. And Debussey thought you were a word guy. Neil Young will always be a group therapy leader for old people wanting to relive their past, not a skilled musician. That was btw what this "discussion" started with: That Celine Dion is an exceptional singer. And nobody can show that she ain't. She scores mega high on every criteria, and she beats Neil Young's singing and general musicianship into the drain with her pinky. If yo don't think she's an artist because she uses to much botox, then you can always seek comfort in those "out of tune" singers you love so much. They smell too, but at least they are "keeping it real"!, eh?  ///////// Get over it "bro". You really don't have any basis behind your claims besides being an old geezer with misinformed opinions

Think about being poor for a minute .... oh hang on you how zero powers of empathy or understanding.
If he had been smart earlier on he'd not be in a situation where he needed money for BB food and drugs so bad that he needed to fuck a grapefruit. It's not like "being poor" happened without his own participation.
