I saw this guy on the Subway commercial (I think) billed as the "world's smartest man"
So I looked up his wikipedia entry and saw this quote:
| quote: | | Reactions to Rosner have included pity and scorn: “Rick is an example of how society fails children who are geniuses.…it's sad that instead of becoming a great scientist or business leader he winds up being nothing but a bouncer” (Kantor 2007) “…the worst of what many people believe they'll find in the high IQ societies” (Bultas 2005) “If he’s so smart, what the hell is he doing being a bouncer, a stripper, a roller skating waiter and a model? I presume Mr. Rosner earned his reputation by getting a high score on an IQ test. If so, he is a perfect example of how meaningless those tests can be” (Smith 1986). |
Why such negative reaction to a genius?
[quote]Rosner has admitted, “I like to do something obnoxious every few months—to make people nervous” (Zaslow 1990). He cavorted as a giant penis on The Man Show (episode 420), posed naked for Crank Yankers (episode 2.17), and, on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, accepted a bet to go without sex for a month (2003), danced naked (2007), and ate a bowl of pencil erasers while trussed up like Hannibal Lecter (2004). He hired a plane to tow a banner displaying a gravitational equation over Boulder and Denver (Jones 1986, Gibson 1986) and placed physics ads in the showbiz newspaper Variety (2007)./quote]
anyone have videos of this? I didn't see anything on youtube or googleVideo. Not gay to see him dancing naked, but I really have a dream to work at NASA, still listening to trance, street racing and gang banging. |

This guy is amazing.
No reason to give up on the enjoyments of life just because your colleagues don't want you tapping some sweet ass (oh wait, that's Einstein)
Just a glorified thrillseeker who prefers the taste of doggy treats as opposed to catfood because "the bones kinda get caught in your throat."
the elite, G-up in this university. |

His work history doesn't seem terribly dissimilar from equally noted ultra-high IQ scorer Christopher Langan, who has also gained the reputation of 'world's smartest man' (though these seem to be mainly media designations, so I wouldn't put much stock in them either way).
Like Rosner, Langan also worked as a bouncer, and spent a decent period of his life working in labor related fields.
