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.

      CBS does not think Bryce makes the leap

      By frankw · Posted

      It would be nice to see #9 prove people like this laughably wrong. That's why many Panthers fans myself included were wanting to see how much time he'd dedicated to his craft following the conclusion of the season but then he showed up and let everyone know he pretty much crawled under a rock. Somehow the Panthers social team though this was rather amusing after what we'd sacrificed for the rights to draft him It's interesting that we go from Levis being least desirable of the class and a complete and total meathead that would alienate himself from his teammates to being talked up as possibly emerging as one of the better young QB's entering the 2024 season. Man what a whirlwind the last 12 months have been for the people who fully bought the hype machine in the lead up to the 2023 NFL draft and did victory laps like they had their very own sports almanac from BTTF. Life comes at you fast folks.

      Does anyone actually think Bryce will actually be good?

      You either need to do waaay more drugs or waaay less drugs, your current intake is not right. Sorry I can not advise on which path to take.

      The franchise guy Carolina Panthers Deep Dive

      He's routinely a great watch.  Good content.  I like his optimism on Chubba in our scheme, allows us to bring in Brooks at an optimal pace relative to his recovery (who we got obviously to be our new guy, could become the focal point of this offense) The two news OGs will have no issue playing our offense coming from familiar schemes, one in Hunt being league top, is going to be huge for our running game more than anything.  I also liked him maintaining some optimism with Icky.   Seeing his page and commentary on our defense really puts in perspective how much turnover we have.  It should feel like a much different team (hopefully better) especially that front-7.  Jewell is going to be better than people expect, he was super unheralded for Denver and is just a smart closer who played against the Chiefs routinely well.
