Humans should be K-strategists instead of r-strategists

Science!

[Scourge]

Ok, its the college student who's studying science, versus the redneck who didn't finish high school and is working at an oil rig. Regardless of education though, who's smarter?

Education does not equal intelligence. :icon27:

Maybe I've already won.

Maybe?

Actually the more education a person completes, the better that person's brain will be recodnizing patterns in life. This person might forget 95% of what they learned in university, but they will be much smarter than someone who hasn't finished highschool. School isn't about remembering what you have learned, its about getting better at learning.

Well, you know if you don't finish high school that means you lose your right to ever pick up another book or try to learn anything on your own. You jess haff ta stop lurnin.

I learned how to learn long ago. I figured out that little secret in grade school. So basically, you or someone is paying lots of money for you to learn what I already knew as a child. If I need to know something, I learn it fairly easily and quickly and I don't need a few years of college to do it. Here's another idea, pick a subject, divide the time normally taken to learn it by half. I'll study that subject for that amount of time and come here and discuss it with you until you're blue in the face. Deal?

Here's a brief cheat sheet to help Toxic in his competition:

there is no D in "recognizing"
there is no F in "alpha"

That is all.

Its also very great at developing a soul that is unable to see the bigger picture, for he has been forever set into a ceirtain direction without questioning larger relevance, even truthfullness, and eye for alternatives.

You can say whatever you want about education, it can make you smarter, but also make you shitloads dumber - for you, It seems you've taken the latter road.

Calculus III. You have 7.5 weeks.

[MKJ]

[Nightshade]

scourge is smarter than Toxic. No question.

[MKJ]

this brick is smarter than toxic

[Tormentius]

scourge is smarter than Toxic. No question.

I'm pretty sure Scourge has forgotten more than Toxic will ever know.

Oh look, its another highly original reply by Law.

That would have to include the concepts of 1 & 2.

So that would be Calc 1, 2, & 3 in 22 weeks.

Defiantly not a problem. :icon14:

Without a doubt.

You might say one population of humans is more r than another, or more k than another, but in nature, humans are K strategists...

think r-rapid.

Here's a simple explanation.

And toxic, pm me your notes if they are electronic, and your prof's email address. I'm actually curious to hear his explanation, or find out if you aren't just leaving out a major part of his explanation.

I had a feeling you would go that direction. Considering I have no knowledge in Calc 1 or 2. Shouldn't I get the equal amount of time to learn those as well since I would have to know them first? If you agree with that, then no problem.
