This is what 30-50% Americans ower 40 yo look like to me btw

I just came up with a paradox all on my own

If a time traveller with the average modern IQ could go back in time and talk to Socrates and/or Plato, who would be smarter?

The time traveller or them?

Philosopher going to be smarter than average joe , but avg joe going to be as smart as any other avg person in medieval age , if you have thing made by smart person doesn't make you smart

And we cant measure smartness equally

Well you gotta think, in this conversation we’re having rn are we not technically modern Socrates and Plato?

Dibs on Plato btw

No not even close

I see

Because I'm sure mathematician smarter than me

I think cave man as smart as we now

Well wait wait, what about the knowlage of everything modern everything far advanced than what they had? You don’t think that would equate to us being equal to their intelligence if not smarter because technically it is more knowlage overall

Knowledge don't make you smart , it's more about solving a problem, think fast creatively and having deep understanding in your field

I mean its the same thing to say that ipad kid smarter than Nikola Tesla because it been exposed to 7 peta bites of digital slop

Shit, fantastic points

Writing with left hand is so hard

Yeahh you’ll get used to it
