I don't think so... Knowledge is information acquired, while intellect or intelligence is your cognitive ability. Or, the ability to use knowledge, predict the future, solve problems, etc. It's the sheer horsepower of your brain. You gain knowledge and 'wisdom' over the course of your life. This allows you to make good decisions. Knoweldge is not the same thing as being intelligent. Even though most people confuse the two and refer to very knowledgeable people as 'smart '. These people could be very intelligent. They may not be. A plumber may have been to school, and spent 15 years in the field working. His knowledge and expertise is immense. However, he is no more intelligent for doing this. An IQ 160+ engineering student with no knowledge of plumbing may be able to step into a construction site and solve a complicated problem with a few hours of research that that plumber may never be able to come up with. This isn't hypothetical, I experienced this recently ( I do real estate investment on the side). The plumber even said ' I would have never come up with that, not in a million years'. The young student is brilliant. He was able to hop on the internet, research a few things and come up with a solution that honestly... I don't really understand.

Found a video that talks about this very specific arguement...

Philociraptor, Do you differentiate knowledge and intelligence? Did you know that your iq score peaks around age 8, and won't increase over time? No matter how much work or knowledge you aquire?

I am having a wonderful debate with a friend about race and IQ. He presented this study and article on race and IQ as proof that IQ is determined by SES (Social economic status). I hadn't heard of this one even though it flies in the face of all of the other twin studies. https://www.theatlantic.com/national/archive/2013/05/why-people-keep-misunderstanding-the-connection-between-race-and-iq/275876/ https://www.psychologytoday.com/files/u81/Turkheimer_et_al___2003_.pdf What do you all think?

Why are they getting so low? What's the deal?

Thanks!

Well, I guess I'm not the only one.

I'll freely admit, I don't know what the hell is going on in Syria. can't find anything, preferably a video or podcast that really explains what is going on in Syria. Does anyone have anything? It's so hard to piece together the facts while muddling through politically charged interviews and shock journalism. Thanks, Tim Edit: Also, I am having trouble finding good info on Egypt.

I've owned a few computers from the Optiplex line that Dell has. The motherboards are proprietary. You can't necessarily buy them separately. That being said, there isn't much consumer information available. I will say that it is just a basic setup. Nothing really to speak of. In my experience, the HDD will fail several times over before the mobo. Why are you concerned with what the motherboard is? If you have enough knowledge to comprehend differences in motherboards, why not just build your own PC?

Mises calculation problem! I brought this up in a discussion with a family member who is a zeitgister. It's rather long though, and frustrating to watch.

Amazon already has a way to give feedback on this... Why don't we all just leave reviews of the book, with 1 star? That would make the biggest impact on people buying this product.
