[QUOTE="red dirt shootist, post: 4143662, member: 52708"] Stupid, being a relative term, only has meaning if you're compared to a smarter person. The old saying "you can't fix stupid," is actually a misnomer. We all were taught about osmosis in grade school, but I was able to take that a step farther when I studied at the Institute in Vienna. Osmosis may also include a transcendental exchange, which I called a transcendental osmotic experience, where thoughts, information, and yes, even intelligence can flow through the process known as osmosis, but whereas osmosis is an exchange of biological material, transcendental osmosis is more of an exchange of, something like a wi-fi signal. If you're thinking this isn't possible, have you ever been to a party and stood in with a group of people, doctors, lawyers, techies, entrepreneurs, whatever, and when the group disbanded, you stood there and felt "smarter," more aware, a heightened sense of awareness, you start thinking about what all is possible? Ok, how about the measure of intelligence? That is harder to explain and harder to understand. Remember the movie "Slingblade?" Slingblade had some serious cognitive damage, but remember the scene where two of the town business guys couldn't start the mower, and when Sling walked by they asked him why it wouldn't start, and he stoically answered, "it's outa gas," Which it was. So in a world where smart people do stupid things, and stupid people do smart things, how do you know who's stupid, and who's stupider? [/QUOTE]
