Or maybe discussing such threads...?caz said:Maybe you should add proclaiming yourself a genius to the list.
The main reason for banning this topic is to maintain objectivity and credibility in scientific discussions. Claiming to be a genius can be seen as arrogant and can undermine the validity of one's research or findings.
Yes, someone can be considered a genius based on their contributions and accomplishments in their field. Proclaiming oneself a genius is not necessary for recognition and can often be seen as self-promotion.
In some cases, individuals may have a legitimate reason to mention their intelligence or exceptional abilities, such as when applying for a grant or job. However, this should be done in a humble and professional manner, rather than boasting or making grandiose claims.
This ban does not affect scientific progress in any way. In fact, it promotes a more collaborative and inclusive environment where ideas and findings are evaluated based on their merit, rather than the perceived intelligence of the individual presenting them.
Yes, there is a difference between being a genius and having a high IQ. While IQ is a measure of intelligence, being a genius is often associated with exceptional creativity, originality, and achievement. Additionally, IQ tests have been criticized for their cultural and societal biases, so it is not an accurate measure of one's overall intelligence.
