Were you that kid born at the Paris Peace Talks?
I’ll vote Uncle Albie and Telsa for deceased and Hawkings for Currently living.
How about Chairman of the Fed, Alan Greenspan in the living category?
Very true. The World’s Smartest Person is probably in a psychiatric ward somewhere, if the mental equilibrium of most incredibly smart people is anything to go by.
Otherwise another vote for Stephen Hawking: Living
Sir Isaac Newton: Dead.
Er… well, you didn’t see my name on the list, didya?
:smack:
Don’t know about smartest living person, but smartest dead person has to be Aristotle. He wrote about science, politics, poetry, theater, philosophy and ethics.
And except for his science, everything he wrote then is worthy of study today.
Judging from this list women must be pretty dumb.
Guess that neatly illustrates BlackKnight’s point.
Not saying that I agree, but didn’t Marilyn Vos Savant at one time claim to be the world’s smartest person? Or maybe Parade Magazine made the claim on her behalf.
I make no claims but supply this link

Now I make my claim.
I don’t believe she is one person.
I keep hearing that Hillary Clinton is the smartest woman in the world…
