Do smarter people fear death more?
I have no way of knowing but am presuming that the fear of death runs through almost all levels of people equally. Perhaps atheists may not fear it as much since they already believe they know what is to come after their deaths. Scientist’s too have a keen knowledge of what they believe scientifically goes one. I don’t believe these smarter ones fear it any more than those who have a lower IQ.Also, those who have a firm belief in God do not fear it. My younger sister died almost two months ago. She wanted to die and pushed for it as hard as she could. She won her battle; however, while she was in hospice waiting to die, she awakened one morning and the first words she said were, “Damned, I’m still here!”She died the next morning with a smile on her face.By the way, my sister was a “smarter” one.
Why do people just believe in religion without any good proof?
Simply because they've been indoctrinated from a young age.
Do reading books make you smarter?
Well, you should never read books solely for the purpose of 'getting smarter'. They are to be enjoyed and treasured, to expand your horizons, or make you think, etc. If you are only keen on reading a book to boost your intelligence, it might not work. EDIT: I suggest Classics though, they are very thought-provoking, highly enjoyable, and you'll be prepared for English class. I would recommend Charles Dickens, James Joyce, Herman Melville, Henry David Thoreau, etc.
Why are Jewish people so SMART and EDUCATED?
I am not Jewish, but I would say that their culture puts a great deal of emphasis on learning, education and scholarly pursuits. The Torah (first five biblical books) means law or teaching. So law and teaching are highly valued and an essential part of their heritage.
What kind of music do the most intelligent people listen to?
Typically smart people listen to music what appeals to their own taste, while stupid people listen to music which appeals to their group of reference. Smart people tend to be individualists while the lesser endowed of the cerebral performance tend to be herd souls.But there is a correlation - not causation - between IQ and musical taste; the higher one’s IQ is, the more he or she prefers complex melodies and lyrics, while the lower it is, the higher preference on rhythm. There is also a weird - really weird - correlation between latitude and musical preference: the closer one’s home is the Equator, the higher the preference of ‘light’ musical styles like reggae, soca or calypso, while the higher the latitude and closer to poles, the higher the preference of ‘dark’ musical styles like heavy metal. Unfortunately, latitude and IQ has also correlation: the average IQ tends to be the lowest on Equator and rise towards both poles, North and South.My own experience is that the most intelligent people tend to prefer classical music and prog metal. The reason is simple: classical music is extremely complex and full of all kinds of melodic and harmonic variations and decorations - and prog metal is today’s classical.Other “heavy” or “hard” styles, such as nerdcore, death metal, hero metal, experimental rock, progressive rock and art rock tend to be also popular amongst the highly intelligent. If someone likes Queen, Dream Theater, Porcupine Tree, David Bowie or Led Zeppelin, he or she is likely to be quite bright.Many highly intelligent are also into jazz, bepop, jazz rock and crossover styles.
To everyone who thinks badly of muslims!?
Now, I know a lot of you people out there hate muslims, but please read this, as it will help clear our name. The majority of people think that muslims are terrorists - this is partially true. You see, it is the muslim countries who ruin our name. The government over there are, well, stupid. They send out hundreds of soldiers to invade, bombard, attack and everything else to other countries/citizens. They do not know that their maniacal actions affect us, peaceful muslims. As you know, lots of muslims immigrate over to western countries (Like London or Australia). These are the muslims that are trying to escape from their country. Over there, they could be killed so easily. Just because of that, doesn't mean you should look down on them. Here in Australia, there are many muslims that I know - They are friendly, respectful and grateful. These poor muslims however are treated harshly/badly because of the muslim countries. The government over there is stupid and can not think for themselves. Their actions make the whole world think badly at the peaceful muslims. And I know that some people want to ban muslims from coming into the western countries. But why would you say that? It isn't their fault that the typical stereotypes are going around. They came here to escape from what they used to live in. More people should be educated on what REAL muslims are like. It is so stupid for everybody to look down on the muslims here, just because of the muslim countries making bad decisions!!! So, what do you think? Are you going to go along with what the rest of the world thinks, or are you actually going to think for yourself about what is going on? If you read until the end, Thank you.
