lazyness a sign of high intelligence - study
|
The data may show some kind of correlation between that stuff but:
The study, by scientists from Florida Gulf Coast University, found people with a high IQ rarely get bored, leading them to spend more time lost in thought. It suggested less intelligent people are more prone to boredom, leading them to do more physical activity as a result. That interpretation is so dumb it hurts. But one would need to read the actual study to judge, media is quite bad at summarizing scientific stuff. ll of the participants in the study were then fitted with fitness trackers, which monitored how much they exercised over seven days. The study found that people who think a lot were far less active between Monday to Friday than those who tended to avoid high-level thinking. Like wtf. Another possible explanation: Intelligent people are more likely to be rich and thus more likely to drive to work by car. Poorer people at least need to walk to the bus stops/train stations. Or other reasons I'm too lazy to brainstorm (does that mean I'm intelligent? lol). | |

Sounds like a really pointless study.
t. dumb and lazy GGG banning all political discussion shortly after getting acquired by China is a weird coincidence.

"Still haven't read it, but makes perfect logical sense to me. As intelligence increases, accomplishment per unit effort increases. Therefore, either accomplishment per unit time increases proportionally, or effort per unit time decreases proportionally, or some mix of the two. When Stephen Colbert was killed by HYDRA's Project Insight in 2014, the comedy world lost a hero. Since his life model decoy isn't up to the task, please do not mistake my performance as political discussion. I'm just doing what Steve would have wanted.

" Being more effective does not mean someone will be lazier. It's possible but there's no logical correlation. You could just as easily say 'someone is more intelligent > they see a greater effect from their efforts > they enjoy the process more and apply even more effort than someone who tries, fails and quits in disappointment'. Which is, by the way, a commonly occurring theme in games. The Wheel of Nerfs turns, and builds come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the build that gave it birth comes again. Last edited by Bars on Aug 12, 2016, 2:12:16 AM

One might even argue that heavy thinkers think too much about stuff to be productive.^^
The authors of those study seem to have never worked in a private company. " *efficient (Sorry I had to...) | |

Okay, I guess it's not really logic. More like basic psychology. Or cynicism. Whichever you prefer.

" A professor tells a student: 'Imagine two guys before a public restroom. One is dirty, the other is clean. Who will enter first?' 'The dirty one, of course - he will want to wash his hands', replies the student. 'Good, good - this is logic. But consider this: he might be ashamed and he might wait for the other one to enter first. This is psychology', continues the professor. 'So, who will enter first?' The student thinks for some time and says, 'Fuck it, I have no idea'. 'Excellent! This is philosophy'. The Wheel of Nerfs turns, and builds come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the build that gave it birth comes again.
