Malcolm x was a greater intellect than Albert Einstein

Einstein’s grandfather was also a white man so we’re going to have to call this one a draw.

OK let’s hypothesize a Gedankenexperiment where Malcom X, Einstein, a flask of poison, and a radioactive source are placed in a sealed box. If an internal monitor detects radioactivity (i.e., a single atom decaying), the flask is shattered, releasing the poison. The Jarlsberg interpretation of quantum mechanics implies that after a while Malcom X and Einstein are both simultaneously alive and dead and are superimposed upon one another. Yet, when one looks in the box, one sees the composite undead Malcom-Einstein eating a cheese sandwich. This poses the question of when exactly quantum superposition ends and reality collapses into one possibility or the other.

Errm, the Malcolm X who was once in NOI and then converted to Islam? Yes, I’d say* at least* twice.

I hope you don’t let shit like this keep you up at night. Hate is a very strong thing. Just let it go. Take a deep breath and let it go. Trust me, I understand where you are coming from. Please just let it go.

Put the mirror up to your own post. The atomic bomb prevented the Cold War from becoming a hot war.

Sort of an X-Einstein condensate.

People, people, people…I think we’re missing out on what’s really important here, and that’s this:

Somebody mentioned pie. Who was it? Ah yes…

So…what kind of pie are we talking here, Skald?

And silly me that you were above making such a racist statement.

I’m tired. You’ll have to do with lemon meringue.

Chocolate cake is smarter than lemon meringue.

No one asked for cake, you damn dirty elf.

Why not split the difference and have shoofly pie?

And now, a perpetual lacks of clarifications. Shots ring out in a virtual sky.

Fred Rogers was the greatest intellect of all time!

OF

ALL

TIME!!!

Is apple pie smarter than orange cake?

Only the cow-pie is qualified to judge that one.

And only one of them converted to Islam. Gotta take IQ points off for that.

Esssentially, Malcolm X and Einstein were never in the running - it’s a caged deathmatch between Schroedinger, Von Neumann, Heisenberg, deBroglie and Bohm (although I suspect those last two might gang up on the others. Feynmann will referee.

When it comes to the great geniuses, I’m partial to artists. My bet is Michelangelo. E = mc^2 and anything that might have sprung from it cannot match the feeling of hair at the back of the neck rising if you view stuff like the Pieta or the Sistine Chapel fresco.

If I weren’t so tired, I’d probably respond with some smart-ass comment to the OP. Why are you people even giving audience to him (or possibly her)? Thanatic’s original and subsequent posts are so stupid that they don’t merit a sincere response. I’m not even offended by the subtle racism or stupidity…just think it’s all pointless.

Anyway, carry on.
