As a matter of fact I won't, because of all consumer pro-

Stupid people writing smart people makes intelligence akin to magic

Is that what the guy from the chewing gun factory told you? God you're so naive

In his defense, he did get into Harvard without being a rich Jew.

Low iq scene with two low IQ characters obsessed over by low iq people and being discussed right now by those low Iq people

Chewing gum reduces the incidence of dental caries via mechanical cleaning and stimulating saliva flow.

im an idiot but even i know the original purpose of chewing gum was probably to freshen breath
but as it became more trendy they started adding ass flaours like stawberry to market it to children because children are the most impressionable of all
basically just widening the market to make more money regardless of how moronic it is to chew something with no purpose like a cow

I used to say shit like this and think i was the shit when i was 13-15. It was just autism though, not high IQ.

Is photographic memory a meme, or if you have the ability could you literally look at a page in one second and have absorbed its material?

Chewing gum is meant to freshen your breath while also stimulating your mouth which increases focus.

no the original chewing gum came from inside tree bark and humans like to put things in their mouths much like you enjoy putting your uncles cock in your mouth

This scene struck me as unrealistic.
They would've started swinging halfway through.

the irony is realizing the genius is the guy going to harvard and being hired as a ceo 300k starting while will is scrubbing toilets

>Do you like apples?
>No, the skin always gets stuck in my teeth.

I went to school with a guy with an photographic memory. I had one in elementary school and lost it in middle school (this is not uncommon).

He had to read the words to understand their meaning but he could focus on a page and commit the image to memory and a week later recall the image, and read off the data to copy it onto the test. There is some memory corruption that occurs so it helps to actually read and understand it in the first place, so you can properly index the image in your memory.

That is not the same thing. I did that in school too. Memorising a few pages for a test pretty much anyone can do. Reading entire books and quoting random page text is complete horseshit.

big words, for a guy who seems to be facinated by what other people put in their mouths

To be fair, there's a lot of people within the academia who essentially have no opinions on their own. This guy said this, that guy that something else, they don't think anything themselves. It's intellectual karaoke and they sing along to Chomsky pretending to be a philosopher too.

fpbp

>being intelligent is just verbally flexing on random people at bars
nice

There might even be people who can do that to a certain degree but they certainly won't also be good at maths.

You don't have to remember the entire book but just the bullet points, basically just the memes. If some dude starts quoting Adam Smith or whatever you don't have to know all of Adam Smith but the most common lines. If Someone quotes Kant's categorical imperative I could finish that quote as well and then make the transition to Schopenhauer and how he thinks we shouldn't just treat others like we want to be treated but actually try to be empathic.

>guy flexes by ranting a few lines he read on a book
>will shits on the guy for not having original ideas meanwhile will is shown memorizing hundreds of book in the first scene of the movie and doing the same thing the entire movie one way or another

That's not what's implied in the movie. Damon's character isn't studying for a test, he isn't constantly hearing the common quotations. He just reads books and then can magically recite and page and paragraph he wants.

People who excessively read books and get their life lessons from books are no different from people who watch tv, anime or play games and get their life lessons from that
it's retarded, will was in the right if you can't form your own opinions independent of the material you consume then you're a fucking automaton with no sentience

What did was meant by this exchange, anyways?

Americans don't have xylitol in their gum? Just sugar and other unhealthy shit?

How is that genius?

what are the right fucking books user?

What if it's a well known part of the book that everyone knows

It's like if a guy trains shotokan in some mall dojo and starts flexing about being hardcore and then getting dunked on by a dude who trains muay thai 5 times a week. Or someone coming to Zig Forums engaging an argument with a local who saw the same discussion every day for the last two years.

It is way too hot right now, killer and survivor for this feel?

>I'm an idiot but
Better to Remain Silent and Be Thought an Idiot than to Speak and Remove All Doubt

Gum was created because they had a surplus of rubber when they weren't needed to make tires after the war

Man like apples, but how much man like apples? Who knows.

then if an idiot shouldnt speak then why are there so many posts on this site?

I reckon gum was more about having a fresh breath and developed from candy rather than people chewing old tires because there was too much rubber.

This but the exact opposite, Damon is notable for being highly intelligent.
