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.
I think that Newton chap wasn't stupid.
Socrates was pretty badass, Plato, Aristotle etc.
There's no one measure of "smartness" so it comes down to preference. I think insanely artistic minds which can capture what it is to be alive in a single brush-stroke or note, or whatever are the coolest. But the scientific brains which gave us electricity or the telephone are kinda cool.
People keep naming Ninja Turtles, maybe Dexter Jackson?
