Intelligence is the greatest determinant of ones abilities in life.

No

Look at tyson he isn't very bright, never has been

I can name a dozen of people 10 times smarter than tyson here, which have been, are, and will be much less successful at "life"

And while he definitely wasn't dumb as fuck, intelligence wasn't genghis khan's greatest quality

Thinking that intelligence is man's quintessential quality in life, is only the by product of a thought process coming straight out of limp wristed people who've been shielded from life's harsh reality for way too long https://pic8.co/sh/gknrlT.jpeg

You'll get nothing but shit from so the called ruling elite without loyalty for instance, no matter how smart they are

It should be obvious to anyone by now

History disagrees. No im not going through two days worth of articles before keeping the same opinion.

The people currently at the very top of the food chain and through all history rarely got there through pure intelligence. It was money, family, and social status that put them there. One could argue intelligence can get those things but the difference between the extreme examples of those who were born with and those who earned it during ones life without a lucky chance are hardly comparable.

If you want to talk about world revolutionary intelligence then thats another story. Wait for AI to advance for that one though.

I’d say intelligence is pretty important

I have life experience

Checkmate, you can put your copypasta where it belongs; on a dusty library shelf

Your life experience is anecdotal which makes it a logical fallacy. I could spend my whole life in Japan and not know anything about California. Doesn’t mean that I know more than a person who grew up in California who is younger than me

Is this a real reply. Like do you think youve made a point that is anything other than a proof that you understand nothing?
