Well, there is no consensus among psychologists, the gold standard of the modern version of IQ testing is the Weschler Adult Intelligence Scale and while it cultural bias has been slowly improved over the years it still does not not measure creativity beyond strict abstract reasoning.  When people brag about hi "IQs" I have found that the score they got is high because they were young at the time and if a new test were done the score would be lower.


Have you ever had an intelligence test conducted on you?

[HyenaKing]

Yeah, and it doesn't mean much to me at all. Its just a test after all.




Whitch is more availble? Bias with truth or Non-bias with lies?

[anoni]

It's an undecidable questions (a question with no answer, and if an answer exists it could be impossible to prove). Currently there is no way to view the universe without bias, for humans this manifests itself in our limited spectral range, our flawed senses and our over 200+ cognitive biases that influence the way we think every day. Whether or not these biases are truths or lies can't be known, all I know is that currently no one can view anything without a huge amount of bias.


  Are we, as humans, getting to the limit of what we can understand about the universe?

[Vortex Cynbel]

I think no and here's why:

Technology is something very new to human history.. Since the first ever computer introduced till today there have been many innovations that pushed us higher as a species. I mean if you told an 80s teen that in the future there would be computers that fit in your pocket and have more raw power than a supercomputer at the time they would think you are crazy :p. It was science fiction for them.. Therefore things that seem science fiction to us now may not be in the future..

I am really betting on space traveling and such. There are many problems with that tho but I think there are solutions.. The speed of light in the universe scale is not particularly fast and due to the expansion of the universe some places stay forever out of our reach.. so if we manage to find more about wormholes and exploit them to travel to other planets this would be very helpful.. Also using genetics we could modify humans to be able to live in the climate of some other planet.. I know it sounds science fiction now but will this be science fiction after 50-100 years?

So traveling on other planets or even galaxies pretty much will give us a much more vast knowledge of the universe because we would be able to observe stuff from a different perspective.

Maybe we will go all the way to discover a new universe where our laws of physics do not apply there..

So I think we are not even close to the limit.. New missions of discovering stuff are on their way as we speak and I think technology still hasn't been at it's peak yet..

That was an interesting question so I am asking the same :p

I doubt it. Every time someone goes "We've reached our limits with this thing", someone else goes "No we don't and here's why"
Which (usually depending on what the thing is) isn't a bad thing.






Which baby animal is the cutest?

[Trixsie Vixen]

Baby squid.  SO CUTE!




Have you ever eaten something while it's still alive?

[Cheza]

Yes. I once swallowed a tiny live fish. Just to show I dared to >->'


Weirdest dish you've ever eaten?

[Trixsie Vixen]

I can't choose: soft-shell chilli crab was weird, crocodile sausages also weird.  Swordfish with a vermouth sauce, more uncommon that weird.  OK, octopus souvlaki, that was weird.




Ever eaten Vegemite and if so what did you think?

[Bricket]

No, and I don't think I'll ever eat it just to protect my tongue against it 


Is it acceptable to be immoral at times?

[Trixsie Vixen]

Definitely.  Arguably it is not possible to be totally moral 100% of the time and not doing the impossible must be acceptable.


Would you rather be a vampire turtle or a werecow?

[Bricket]

Werecow since that seems to be the most practical thing of the options.


How would you describe your home-country in one sentence?

[Trixsie Vixen]

Rebels without a cause but with a beer and a BBQ.




Do you like to cook?
