Who does Sup Forums vote to be the most brilliant mind to have ever been born?

My vote goes to Alan Watts. Beyond intelligent.

Carrot top

Obviously Isaac Newton.

Obviously.

One vote for Gian Lorenzo Bernini

Robbie Rotten

...

Put your tray table up!

Probably Jimmy Neutron

Trey Parker and Matt Stone

He did do a lot of fascinating stuff on hermeticism.

Robert Anton Wilson

>Robert Anton Wilson

Oh individual anarchist, I am interested. Anything similar to Robert A Heinlein?

Rasputin

Kek

John von Neumann

The master wordsmith...

Heaven

Without him we wouldn't be talking about this right now

Bonnie Rotten

Tesla or Nietzsche. Alan Watts was marvelous, as well as Terence McKenna, but how you could argue they are more intelligent than these two or many others I fail to understand.

might as well throw Dostoyevsky in there

which kind of muddies the waters, Nietzsche, Watts, Mckenna, and Dostoyevsky were all brilliant in very specific ways

as a general marker of intelligence?

My vote would have to go for Jung

Dostoevsky I would put on the same level of brilliance as Watts/TM, he was an exceptional story teller and NFU opened my mind to the possibility of others that felt like me at a time exist.

Jung is a good vote.

Leonardo da Vinci?

This exactly.

Carl Jung

Marcel Duchamp

Socrates, probably

Ah but then again, there is Plato. Like Terence McKenna said, all the rest of philosophic history is basically a footnote upon.

Tesla. some of the leaked notebooks are out there. Guy was beyond genius.

>terence mckenna
i resonate with many of his ideas and shit but sometimes he went pretty far out lol. but when he said "nobody knows what is really going on" it kinda confirmed that he wasn't a nutjob.

is Adolph really not that obvious?

For you few fans, if you don't know him already, Jordan B. Peterson of the University of Toronto is a brilliant contemporary psychologist and mind.

If ever there was a chance for me to add a name to the list of classics, his would be my choice.

Been following him for a while! Saw him on Stefan Molyneux show pretty recently. Stefan Molyneux definitely has a horse in the race as well.

There is a fine line between genius and madness, basically Carl Jung reincarnate.

TM will always be close to my heart, he was the kick start to my spiritual journey.

Thomas W. Campbell is another vote, if you haven't watched his talks, you owe it to yourself.

You guys are trolling right?

What about Julius Oppenheimer or Enrico Fermi? Wherner Von Braun?

Surprised nobody has mentioned Aldous Huxley, close friend of Alan Watts as well if my memory does not fail me.

Nobody has put a single vote in for a female so far, haha! Guess my vote in that instance might go to Ayn Rand?

they killed him cause his dick was massive right?

yeah i have moved on from TM and have been listening to Ram Dass and a bit of this guy named Adyashanti

I have a strong bias for casting my vote for an ex-Nazi arms producer.

The other you've mentioned are extremely notable, the reason my vote is cast for who it is for is due to my bias towards how I perceive value. I'm passionate towards psychology and metaphysics, seems you are passionate about theoretical physics and such.

Which displays the fundamental problem with the subject of the thread, everyone's choice is going to be biased based on how they perceive "intelligent" value.

They are are basically just one piece of the whole puzzle as Alan Watts would have put it. Just started this thread to find some interesting reads.

Nietzche
Issac Newton
Piaget
Einstein

probably that paranoid mathematician that died of starvation

Christopher Hitchens

I dont know about *brilliant* mind.
Mr Watts never had any particularly profound thoughts of his own, merely paraphrasing schools of thought from other cultures into a form we would inderstand within ours.
Certainly a well read/travelled bloke, but brilliant mind seems a bit much.

Kurt Gödel?

Not exactly but pretty close. He talked with most of the noble women and probably boned some of them. Mainreason was he knew too much stuff.

Who is this?

Boxxy , faggots.

I am not going to start, not enough time in the day for that, but you are so wrong. Either way, he put it all together like nobody has ever done before.

>not going to start
Because you already lost?

Frederick Sanger and John Bardeen both managed to win the Nobel Prize twice.

Hypatia.

So did Barack Obama, don't mean shit fam.

Not twice.. But my point still stands.

Yeah but it was back when it meant something.

My other input was

two fronts was not very bright

Albert Hofmann

he spouted some bs but ill give him a ton of credit for his ability to distill and make those other philosophies accessible. i def feel better off for having listened to some of his lectures.

As far as creativeness of mind and skill as an artist, my vote goes to Alex Grey.

huxley is just an author and rand even lower as a romance writer. whos that hawt chickybabe who just won the nobel prize in math? first time for that. her. bonus points if nudes.

Don't be so sad guys. I haven't even died yet. I am among you.

Life implies death, or should I say death implies life. People will keep on peopling, you or other, is it all an arbitrary difference.

Nikoli Tesla
Fucker shot a death ray at Siberia FFS

Tony Phillips

Corey Wayne when it comes to understanding those fickle creature we call women.

>Manipulated an entire country into being their leader.
>Spewed the most idiotic rhetoric to get elected.
>Billionaire
>Model Wife
>Children
>Lived past 70
>World Leader
Name someone more successful.
In reality success in life = brilliance.

I like the way you made up your own verb there. Peopling. I might use that. I probably won't, but I might.

All credit goes to Alan Watts fam. Just quoting.

Obviously Shia, rollin for trips.

Trump. The U.S. is the smartest and greatest empire in human history and it takes an intelligent man to lead such a great country. He's also rich as fuck which shows he's put in the work that poor people just aren't willing to. And he's good at winning and you don't win if you're stupid.

Well that's no good. You'll never end up being known for your own words if you spend your life quoting dead people.

Have mine

Good call. Love that dude.

Don't believe in an ego fam. The world is me, and I am the world. Every single one of you, is me. My soul is not within my body, my body is within my soul.The Godhead as Alan Watts would put it.

"You are omnipotence in disguise, only you are pretending you are not."

>circle-jerk /thread
Bail

Ditto nigga faggot.

I vote for user.
user is the most brilliant autist I'd even seen. Tracking planes and stars to win capture the flag against shitty C list celebrities, awakening Egyptian gods, making fools of damn near everyone all the time.

user is truly the modern philosopher king of our age.

Kek.

user the philosopher king! May his rule be long and prosperous!

Awakening Egyptian gods? Could you fill me in? Normtard here, had a life on the side so I haven't been able to keep on top of everything. Been keeping on top of the thots instead.

Probably Neil Degrassi Tyson or Bill Nye. Those two are the shit. Everytime they start talking science I'm blown anway.

Bill Nye?

You mean the gender spectrum guy?

Cancer.

>awakening Egyptian gods
I never did that...

Who do you think Kek is?

Bill Nye the science guy!

BILL BILL BILL BILL

Didn't you ever have a childhood, man? That man deserves all your respect for what he's done. If he says something you disagree with, well, maybe it's time to rethink your life. He's a scientist. You're not.

knowyourmeme.com/memes/cult-of-kek

Your bait is weak and flavorless.

>He's a scientist. You're not.
No he's not. He's an Engineer and TV presenter. A science educator. Not a scientist. He's a scientist the same way your sixth grade teacher was a scientist, not. Though unlike your sixth grade teacher, he's severely retarded.

>he's not severely retarded.
fucking typo... four in a row.

Well my name is on it I guess.
No revival though.

Think he's right Sup Forumsro

>He's a scientist

Not a fucking argument.

Your dubs prove that Kek is reading your heresy. His judgment awaits you.

Pretty sure whoever summons kek controls kek...
Standard Mummy rules.

Einstien
hawking
yes alan watts definatly
my dad (shit you not he's great)

Not sure what's attributed to newton, gonna read that up now.

Holy fuck, this is incredible.

Fucking synchronicites or what ever Carl Jung would have called it.

>my dad (shit you not he's great)

Prove it.

Bitch PLEASE.

kek debuted in 2004.
the cult was 2015.
You don't get 10 years to appear clever....

Dubs doesn't summon Kek. He merely reads them. Kek is a god of chaos, no one controls chaos.

Yeah probably
