Who is the smartest person you know in real life?

We were just sitting here talking about getting someone to do some work we have... and I thought this might be a good topic for the huddle.

I've known a guy, name is John, since like 1995. He's about 60 years old now... he's a programmer/GIS specialist that I've worked with off and on for many years. My old boss, who worked with him for even longer said that they once took IQ tests in the early 90's when they both worked for Westinghouse and John's IQ was 180.

This guy has a photographic memory and I've seen it in action... he could remember stuff like specific lines of code we had written like 7 or 8 years previous. I can call him anytime and have him write programs and batch files that do exactly what I want... it's pretty cool actually.

Who do you know?

My oldest sister, brains for miles. Deans list at UNC-CH, went to Duke for a summer smart kid program while in Jr High.

I've had specialists tell me since I was in 5th grade that I have a photographic memory. Never believed it until I started playing music

Smart or Intelligent. IMO there is a difference.

Smart people figure out how to make the best of life wheather it means making money, living in certain areas, or being healthy.

Intelligent people can read code, remember certain things that don't mean anything, are good at Cross Word puzzles.

Big difference.

One of my best friends. Brilliant. Witty as hell too. It seemed he could have an in depth conversation about anything and he wasn't bull pooting you either. He had degrees in something with computers, another in philosophy and a law degree. Found out from his parents he had a super high IQ, which wasn't all surprising. Not because of his degrees, you could tell he was smart just from conversation.

However he killed himself. Too smart for his own good. He was awesome.

      Best and Worst PFF Grades for Jets Game

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      Rotating in Chuba was beyond stupid and really hurt our offense overall. We’ve been in a good rhythm the last 6 quarters or so but Canales figured disrupting that with Chuba would be worth it Rico fits this offense so much better than Chuba    As far as grades go I know that ain’t our RB1, starting Center and our supposedly deep WR room and exciting talented young TE in dead last. Weird. I wonder if that has any correlation on QB play  Even that first incomplete ball Bryce threw in the end zone that hit Legette’s hands. Legette had no business being there so early. Legette went into scramble drill when that ball was intended for Coker who led up because of the traffic there

      Yeah Jets have pretty much been in every game they've played and have barely lost to really good teams. They are much better than their record says Imo

      Trade for a QB?

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I kinda just wanna see what the offense can do with a QB who has proven he can move the football in the NFL. If Dalton wasn't a shadow of his former self I'd be fine with him but Father Time has definitely caught up with him. If we start piling up the losses as the schedule gets tougher and the passing offense continues to be anemic that might cast Canales his job and it's worth a very low risk move IMO to at least give him a fighting chance. The thought of yet another Tepper rebuild just isn't at all exciting to me having already seen a few of them. I'm about giving this current guy a fighting chance.
