    Also with the whole "intelligence" thing, a genius with his head in the ground is less useful that an idiot experimenting.
    I don't care how intelligent someone is if they're not willing to look outside some arbitrary defined parameters they might as well be an imbecile.
    Intelligence doesn't stop anyone from being blind
    Not to the degree I can imagine it, and certainly not using the same underlying principals.

    Yeh I agree, smart people can sometimes be thick as pig shit, but there is no causative factor there. However a genius has an advantage in determining which parameters are arbitrarily defined, and which are grounded in reality.

    no, because reality is relative.

    My perception is my reality ... so I guess that makes it relative!?

    Take a relatively imaginative view of how gravity works then, and take a jump off a relatively large cliff and let us know how that goes, relatively speaking.

    More from this awesome thinker:

    "A diverse community is a resilient community, capable of adapting to changing situations. However, diversity is a strategic advantage only if there is a truly vibrant community, sustained by a web of relationships. If the community is fragmented into isolated groups and individuals, diversity can easily become a source of prejudice and friction. But if the community is aware of the interdependence of all its members, diversity will enrich all the relationships and thus enrich the community as a whole, as well as each individual member. In such a community information and ideas flow freely through the entire network, and the diversity of interpretations and learning styles-even the diversity of mistakes-will enrich the entire community."

    I'm amazed Stupid World hasn't been tripping over it's collective bottom lip trumpeting the end of evel bank domination of the financial sector.

    Cute name. Like bitcoin, peercoin etc... The names may change but it doesn't protect the innocent from the entitlement complex brigade. I know, not your concern. And no, I'm not after a wounding, I want it dead and buried.

    Like that's a solution. It's still plucked out of the air. Just because it is backed by nothing more than confidence in a market, I'm guessing it'll change nothing as it's still just money getting to the same people. What it's valued against, excluding the resources inherent value, matters not... it never has. Bury it deep and execute the zealots that follow such a false idol.
