the secret to be seen as intelligent, and to be..

Everyone use the word "smart", "wise", or "intelligent", without really realising what it really is (stereotype people)... This is because they are affected by it after they witness it. In terms of pleasure, envy, and curiousity. (might be more than 3)

And to go to the point, basicly intelligence, wisdom, and smartness, I define as familiarity. If one is smart, intelligent, or wise, one must be familiar in whatever subject that one is (seen as) smart, intelligent or wise in.

This is a very good point I've made, because this will help and benefit everyone greatly by reading this.... I've basicly change the world... 😎

The reason I say this is because it is easy to be familiar with something... basicly...
example: reading same word/sentence/paragraph repeatedly.

Good point, But I believe that they are all facets of the same pearl of wisdom. They are just different parts of understanding, which is above and the ultimate goal of intellectual persuit, a search for knowledge, are a quest to be smarter. Being seen as intelligent is nothing compared to understanding. That's my opinion.

We need them all in lots of amounts.

understanding and knowledge is under the hierarchy of familiarity.. lol..

A standard philosophical definition says that wisdom consists of "making the best use of available knowledge."

Intelligence and smartness is a general mental capability that involves the ability to reason, plan, solve problems, think abstractly, comprehend ideas and language, and learn.

and all that can be group under familiarity... thanks storm..^^
You can't reason, and those things you said, if you are not familiar with that particular subject...

"The truth can be define by different levels of familiarity"

that says it all.. isn't it?

How to be smart USE BIG LOUD WORDS THAT PEOPLE DONT KNOW COME UP WITH SOMEthiNG YOU MAY NOT EVEN KNOW AND ACT LIKE YOU DO CUZ ALOT OF DOLTS WILL THink your smart and then
my friend tried this for a sociology expirement he acted smart and then when he took tests like 8 people around him failed

You can't be "intelligent" or "smart" in a particular subject. You can have a lot of knowledge or wisdom about it, but wisdom and knowledge are not synonomous with intelligence. A person can have a large mental capacity but still be ignorant.

"I am familiar with biology" is not the same as "I am intelligent with biology". The latter doesn't make sense.

The application of knowledge in unfamiliar circumstances denotes intelligence.

My word is final.

Try to understand how I came up with such thing... I don't simply make a thread of nothing...

How can one be said to be wise? When one do the right thing in the given time... How can one do the right thing in the given time? When one is familiar with it, then one can do the right thing in the right time...

You can be intelligent or smart in a particular subject... People usually said that "wow, he's smart in science"... I didn't say that knowledge itself is smart or intelligent... Familliarity is very different with just knowledge... familiarity is to understand and would be able to decide what is best later on... I am very positive that to be intelligent, smart or wise, one must be familiar...

Familiar? May I call BS?
ok dude I am pretty sure we got some decent definitions of Intelligence. To be Intelligent you have to be able to react to a NEW situation fast.

What syou point out is Knowledge not Intelligence. And if you mean being familiar with a situation that doesn'T make you're intelligent , since the situation is not new, you have just doen something like that before.

New can only exist in individuals... everything is already there, waiting for us to discover...

Equations are there for us, when we need to react to new situation. First we need to find the equation, then just subsitute, as like for X, in maths... Isn't this all gotto do with familiarity?? zzzzzzzzzzzz

I really thought through this long enough and I am very sure of it... I have no doubts at all...

Well not really. Even if you go with your definition intelligence is the time you need to get familiar with something not familiaruty itself

I won't want to argue with you any longer, I've stated my point clearly...

No no no, intelligence is the capacity to learn, or, as you put it, to become familiar with something.

I don' t agree with the Socratic method.

there is no Socratic method, I have answered my own questions... and given full explanation, maybe not full, but satisfactory..
