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

"Well, I've got news for you: my philosophy has been published in 5 countries around Europe, USA, and South Africa and it's been acclaimed to have revolutionary concepts by many critics."

I'm genuinely (no sarcasm) interested in seeing these acclaims and approved revolutionary concepts.

Yes he mentioned that, Backfire. To me, being a teacher doesn't equate to being smarter than someone who isn't a teacher. I've been smarter than a great deal of my teachers as I'm sure anyone of high learning capacity and perception has been or is capable of doing.

Academic knowledge means nothing next to broad and extensive general knowledge.

Don't get me wrong he may very well be an extremely intelligent person, I'm not calling the man dumb. I'm above name calling (idiot, for example) but I don't agree with the way he puts himself across. I have the right to say that. Calling me an idiot coz I think he comes across as being pretentious isn't called for. Labelling me as "lacking intelligent capacity" and not understanding a philosopher because I don't agree with him or bow down to him, isn't acceptable to me. People call me arrogant and stuff on these forums, I don't insult them. There's simply no need.

From my experience teachers and professors of a high level are unbelievably arrogant anyway. If you're a genius (still don't understand your simple spelling mistakes and punctuation errors mind) then that's cool to be proud or even arrogant, however when you over complicate things that can be quite easily simplified, then accuse those who don't understand of being idiots, rather than SHARING your philosophy and indeed teaching it, as your profession title implies you should, then I think you're quite a pompous person.

So, I'm a pompous person. I don't feel the need to proove anything to you. What's your point?

A) It's prove, with one O. It's not a grammar obsession, geniuses should have basic spelling skills.

B) My point is that for all your claims and "accolades", you're nothing special. The only person on here who thinks you really are is you, apparently.

Calling me an idiot out of insecurity isn't gonna phase me. I've met people like you before and I will again. You are a dime a dozen pseudo-genius who quite frankly hides behind a thesaurus comfort blanket.

Beethoven was a genius and he couldn't spell.

Anyway, it's really pointless arguing with you, it's getting boring.

You're not exactly a barrel of laughs.

"I will also leave this forum now, as I feel I have accomplished in what I set out to do."

My thoughts exactly, prof...I mean, Poet....I mean....ah forget it.

so..what is this .. secret.. to being /be seen as intelligent..? 🙄

The secret to be seen as intelligent is to be intelligent.

but if its a secret.. that implies that one lacks intelligence and is trying to cover it up by acting that way for a public audience.

Philosophicus can field the question of how to LOOK intelligent and lie about it better than most.

After all he did try to pass himself off as critically acclaimed philosophy professor only to admit he lied when everyone had him figured.

A great liar and someone who can come accross as being very intelligent simply can't be unintelligent, you must agree.

Oh...ummm...alpha, I thought you said what you wanted to.

Lots of intelligent people lie, finti. That's a ridiculous argument.

"A great liar and someone who can come accross as being very intelligent simply can't be unintelligent, you must agree."

Well.......you tried that, and people knew from the start that you were bullshitting. So...no it doesn't mean you're intelligent just because you're pulling of a successful lie. It just means you're preaching to a stupid choir. KMC Philosophy forum isn't like that.

"Oh...ummm...alpha, I thought you said what you wanted to."

I did? In this thread? Where?

(This will be funny)

I disargee being intelligent means being very bright and smart.It has nothering to do with libeling someone as one.There are alot of intelligent people in this world Who are infact smart.JM

Jackie....

Please think before you type.

oh Jackie a refreshing input there, brilliant 😂

Look alpha, I like bullshitting people and lying, BUT that doesn't mean I'm not intelligent.

"Look alpha, I like bullshitting people and lying, BUT that doesn't mean I'm not intelligent."

It means you're sad. To fabricate such an intricate thing and use it to supposedly place yourself "ahead" or "above" people on this forum.

Whoever has that mentality and needs to do it, isn't very smart to me.

You have primary narcissism. You don't LIKE bullshitting and lying, you NEED to. You clearly have some non-existant, superiority complex going on that needs to be fed. Your biggest and best critic is yourself and thats the only acclaim you ever get. So you continue to make it all up and put yourself in a comfort zone by telling yourself how much better YOU are.

You are hurt and afraid at the fact that one day you'll wake up and realise the truth: You're nothing special.

I'm nothing special? Go and read the comments on my poems in the poetry&prose forum. Oh, and why would I be a published poet by VoicesNet who chooses only a few hundred poems out of 55000 submissions for publication, if I'm not special???? Why would my Haiku poems in my own language: Afrikaans be critiqued by the acclaimed South African writer, Francois Bloemhof as being unique and very original? Go to Poetry.com and see the reviews on my poems - people there actually think my poems are very good.

Anyway, I doubt whether you are something special - you only criticise but never actually make the trouble to come up with your own unique philosophy as I did.

"I'm nothing special? Go and read the comments on my poems in the poetry&prose forum. Oh, and why would I be a published poet by VoicesNet who chooses only a few hundred poems out of 55000 submissions for publication, if I'm not special????"

Like these critics who praised your philosophies that are yet to be shown? The lectures you gave that were praised?

Man, getting praised in poetry and prose on KMC forums isn't exactly winning the book of the year award. If you considered forum dwellers saying "We like your work" an accolade that deems you special, you need a reality check.

"Go to Poetry.com and see the reviews on my poems - people there actually think my poems are very good."

People in America think Good Charlotte are very good. See where I'm going? No? Well I'll tell you. Just because "people" think your poems are good, doesn't mean you're special.

"Anyway, I doubt whether you are something special - you only criticise but never actually make the trouble to come up with your own unique philosophy as I did."

I have a better quality of life than to sit down, think up an unanswerable question (and I do like philosophy) and then come on here to plaster it about the brag on it.

Philosophies aren't hard to come up with. Interesting ones are.

Show us all these concrete proof readings and awards and things then.
