Most of the truly brilliant people that I have met are rarely adamant about their positions. Not to say that they have no stance but they know that they have an incomplete information set and can acknowledge that they can't possibly have all possible information on a topic stored in their brain.

Here is what I am getting at. The human brain is fascinating. If someone has a normal brain, normal education and upbringing but consistently tests out showing a low normal IQ, then it seems to me there could be a lot of unlocked potential in such a brain. An untapped reservoir of some kind of intellectual capacity which is not being utilized. What exactly is that capacity, what can it do; how can it be tapped into?
Recently, I have observed a certain level of complex intellectual capacity in an individual who would likely test out at 50 or below on an IQ test. Retarded, Intellectually Disabled, whatever you want to call this person, and there are physical deformities in this individual as well. Yet, this person who supposedly has the mental capacity of a 5 year old, exhibits the ability to engage in relatively complex adult-oriented humor; evaluating the audience, a set up and delivering a tailored punch line so to speak. There's more mental cognition going on there than could ever be tested. It can't be tested, yet I can see it.

What are the basics of chess? Limited compounding results statistically averaged out in half life principles plying one side against the other.*GHETTO BLASTER » 02 Jan 2025, 8:18 pm » wrote: ↑ My Dad was "genius level" and one of his greatest assets was having a photographic memory.
His Dad had the same talent too.
Not so much with me, however.......
OTOH...I played chess against a kid I was stationed with in the Army who was a Hill Billy from WV who had a 100 IQ MOS [PRC 77 radio repairman]...and he could play with his back to the table while smoking hash and win against ALL COMERS in 10 moves or less.
That was a very humbling thing that I rarely subjected myself to ...to lose in chess to Jed Clampett's Son![]()
This is what I was talking about! Something is efficiently "clicking" in his brain, but just not something that would show up on standard testing. I believe you can use chess as an alternative basis for quantifying a portion of someone's intelligence.*GHETTOBLASTER » 02 Jan 2025, 8:18 pm » wrote: ↑ My Dad was "genius level" and one of his greatest assets was having a photographic memory.

A lot of games like chess and bridge that most adults used to spend time doing at "get togethers" have been replaced with people who gather together to sit in the same room, watching TV and staring at their cell phones........Skans » 03 Jan 2025, 8:54 am » wrote: ↑ This is what I was talking about!

As for me, I only get better at chess if I am playing a lot. If I stop playing for a little while, I quickly revert to a lower baseline level of play. These people who are naturally good chess players - they see the game unfold in their mind. With lots of practice I feel I cam almost see it, but I never really get there - not like Jed Clampett's son.

This article describes the many variations of the Colt AR-15 and M16 rifle family of weapons produced by Colt's Manufacturing Company. Weapons patterned on the original ArmaLite AR-15 design90% of your posts are pointless diversions. My challenge gets to the heart of the matter. One design for combat. One design for civilians.
That is why there are at Lear two lists. Keep running
