Darwin is the most influential genius ever. Da Vinci mostly just screwed around with great ideas.

@@nerdstark9002 The question wasn't "who had the biggest impact". Darwin was no doubt a brilliant thinker and dedicated biologist who had a mindblowing impact on our understanding of the natural world. But he got there through huge advantages (being classically educated/from a wealthy background), but mainly worked incredibly hard by closely studying and observing species he kept and studied at home, and by going on expeditions and seeing the natural world for himself, challenging the thinking of the day. But as Thoughty-2 said, Da Vinci was hundreds of years ahead of his time in terms of his engineering understanding and inventions, things which took incredible spacial awareness and understanding of physics - while also being one of the most talented painters of all time, and his understanding of human anatomy being so advanced that things he learned are only now being proven to be true! That's incredible, especially when you consider the lowly birth and lack of formal education he had. That certainly deserves the title of being a genius, he did far more than "screwed around with great ideas". How arrogantly dismissive.

While that is true, that doesn't apply here. Having taught himself those languages at such an age.

Let’s not forget Sir Issac Newton!

An IQ test is really only useful to determine if someone is legally retarded or not. Anything above 80 doesn’t really mean anything especially how intelligent anyone is. The persons age also has a lot to do with it. For what it’s worth, when I was in 7th grade (12), the school I attended wanted to make sure I wasn’t retarded and scheduled an IQ test with the state (extremely well funded school). It took an entire school week (around 40 hours total). Turns out that in 7th grade the state of Illinois determined my IQ was 142. Yet, I was failing 9 classes and couldn’t learn Spanish to save my life. Although those numbers really don’t mean anything (other than I wasn’t legally retarded and there was no excuse to be failing classes) at 34 years old, I’ve always been curious to see what my score would be now. Just for fun. IQ isn’t really a solid way to measure anything other than if someone is capable of comprehending basic reality enough to be a society-contributing adult. Having said what I did, I sincerely wouldn’t put too much faith in IQ testing more than equating it to a parlor trick to annoy your friends.

I have adhd too, and ocd. And safe to say the kind that creates the hyperactivity in such people as Leonardo. I have close to a hundred journals filled with stories, books, shit art, theories & hypotheses technically, lists, mathematical equations, proofing & conjectures, and so on. Difference between me and him though, is he has alien genius to his intelligence, whereas I’m lucky to be at highly intelligent 😅

I personally think he had some difference in his brain - whether by nature or by building connections while young, that allowed him to fully use both the right and left sides of his brain in a unique way. His being ambidextrous, the mirrored writing, the exceptional spacial awareness shown in his map-making etc all point to a left/right hemisphere difference that produced a uniquely exceptional mind.

maybe ADHD back then was simililar in nature to now, in that most people who SAY they have ADHD are just attention seekers who wish they were in some way unique, instead of the insufferable bores they reveal themselves to be by insisting we all know about their 'condition/disability/malady/curse' unlike Da Vinci, who probably never felt the need to point out his obvious peculiarities. comparing yourself to Da Vinci lol 😂 i'm curious, how many times today have you mentioned "your" adhd? whatever number you reply with (i doubt you'll reply with much more than a "😂 okay whatever buddy haha") is a lie. we will know, and you will know.

The smartest person ever was probably from sub-saharan Africa. Genetic series are used as an indicator to predict the probability of genius within a group. Orangutans have 3 genetic series, apes have 4, chimpanzees have 5, every human race has 6 with the exception of sub Saharan Africans with 9. The genetic diversity in 1billion Africans is more than the rest of the world combined. E.g the tallest people are the Dinka tribe from South Sudan and the shortest are the Pygmies from DRC. West African decent like Jamaicans are the fastest etc. Nigerians are the most educated immigrants in the US and they have the highest education attainment rate, outperming all other groups, according to the US Bureau of statistics. In terms of genius and intelligence, that extreme is likely to be found in sub-saharan Africa.

And while making good contributions to art is definitely something to be proud of, i would be more proud (and surprised) that my designs were implemented with technology I never dreamed of. That my designs were so advanced, that they were literally centuries ahead of their time, and could not be utilized until we had tech far surpassing anything I had seen.

I do want to make a small correction to the video though that there isn't actually anything that special about the Mona Lisa despite it being as iconic as it is. In fact, the only reason why it got as famous as it did was because it was stolen a long while ago in 1911.

Sean Rallis I disagree, human ability to create art was the turning point in our evolution, it was the first thing to prove we are capable of abstract thought, which in turn led to written language and on from there the ability to disseminate ideas throughout society, don’t underestimate art as merely a “cultural thing”, after all Leonardo was only as important as he was first and foremost because of his artistic ability, which in turn led to everything else he achieved.

Well, even if he was a genius, it doesn't mean he'd accomplish anything. Motivation and curiosity are a big factor in accomplishments across all fields of education. This is what makes Da Vinci a genius. He was curious about everything and he was motivated enough to research about what he wanted to know. It wouldn't take a huge genius to make all the discoveries he made. In fact what you'd call a genius today could theoretically have done the same as Da Vinci back then. In todays world there's just no possibility for one to excel at everything at a degree that you would be considered a genius amongst all of them.

@@ux1-15 I think you're missing my point. I do understand fully that he was a genius in a way like Einstein, who had a different way of thinking that could revolutionise the field he was working in. However what I was saying is something different. We don't know if he is the greatest genius ever, because a genius of his caliber could easily walk among us, but not be recognised, because every field of knowledge is way ahead of what Da Vinci had. To put it in other words: if there is a person smarter than Da Vinci, he will never be recognised as that, because he can't excell in all fields across the board. Da Vinci was able to do that, because of curiosity and his genius. But it doesn't exactly mean that he was actually smarter than maybe even your average high-schooler today (intelligence has a lot to do with knowledge and how much knowledge you can recall at any given point).

Sir Isaac Newton was only mentioned once, and that was in passing.

That's a tough comparison to make since we know so little about Archimedes. Did Archimedes also do art? We don't know. I think it's clear that he was stronger than da Vinci in mathematics, physics, engineering, and astronomy-- he actually work quantitatively. How much evidence is there of da Vinci working that way? I don't know, but he certainly didn't seem to come close to inventing calculus, like Archimedes did. And the accounts have Archimedes not only designing amazing inventions, but also his inventions being deployed, such as pulling ships out of the water, concentrating the sun's energy to form an energy weapon to ignite invading ships (if the accounts are true, of course). Given how the premise of this video supporting the da Vinci as the "greatest genius" is his work in many different areas, a lot of which survives, or at least accounts of it do, along how little we know about Archimedes, it's really tough to make a call. We have much more of da Vinci's work surviving than we do of Archimedes. In areas where one can make a comparison, Archimedes seems a stronger candidate, especially given how crazy advanced what he is claimed to have done during the 200's BCE.

Maybe you should read a translation of his journals. There's gotta be some gold nuggets on developing as a person in there.

@Juan Miguel Javier Because it means that no matter how hard they try they'll never be able to achieve it, since their parents elatives also weren't able. In one word it's jealousy. That being said, I agree it's not always just about genes. Your parents could have been Olympic Level gymnasts, but if you sit on your ass all day long watching tv while eating ice cream and cookie dough, there's no amount of genes that'll save you from eventually becoming fat as hell. People can have good genes, and that gives them a great headstart over others, but they still need to know how to take advantage of their natural abilities.

@Juan Miguel Javier Actually I agree with you, skill and genes both have their place. I may have not made myself clear there on my answer. When I said "they'll never be able to achieve", I was speaking about what some people that act like genes have nothing to do with it believe, not what's actually the truth. Besides genes are funny, just because you have genetics on your side it doesn't always mean you'll get it. I have 2 cousins, sisters with the same mom and dad so the same base genes, same academic route only one year apart from each other, one of them breezed trough school, little need to even study to get good grades, while the other younger one had to study to exhaustion to get good grades and even then her average grade was always a little below her sister. And they were sisters, same gene pool, same environment, same friends, they were pretty much inseparable growing up really, so almost all same experiences, one just got lucky 🤷‍♀

@@sara-sy3fc Is the ability to learn based on nature or nurture? There are many of us who have questions about life. There are very few of us who can find some answers.

@Juan Miguel Javier Judging by your second comment I think we're actually on the same page here, if you can believe that edit: well except for the stalemate part... I think the people with better genes might have more room to develop if the two are working just as hard, efficiently, and wisely. But that something like that shouldn't stop the other person from doing what they need to do to become their best self. Chances are someone with and IQ of 80 won't be able to catch up with someone with an IQ of 170. If they do, holy shit, this shit is absolutely revolutionary and how the actual f*ck? Excluding autistics (like my dumb ass) something like that is unheard of (I am not one of those autistics. I just score 125. Not that it matters all that much. I mean, IQ matters, just not as much as people make it out to. A rule of thumb? Goes a bit farther than that...) and if the person could explain how they did it would skyrocket the human race. I do not expect this to ever happen. edit 2: there's also cases like the guy who hit his head after getting in a fight outside the bar and could suddenly understand pi on a deep level, developed OCD, and saw lines coming out of a running sink like some kind of synethesia, so the brain's ability to rewire itself may overcome that in rare and extreme cases (of course, if someone with better genes than them had their brain rewired like that, maybe they'd perform even better. Or maybe their edge would go away. Maybe the person with more neurons will come out on top... even though neurons can make so many connections it kind of seems like a mute point except in the most extreme of extremes. Maybe the person who thought more deeply about the topic would show more results. I don't know. Maybe a way to develop something like that without brain damage is meditation, just a wild thought of mine, don't take it too seriously. I'm not a neuroscientist and I definitely wouldn't take some guru telling me they could help me too seriously. On second thought maybe I am some crazy stupid person. Feel free to berate me, my thoughts, and my opinions all you want. I'm worthless and probably deserve it. Maybe it'll wake me up from thinking like a f*ck*ng t*rd lately. People thought I'd be some kind of big shot scientist but I still live at my parents at 22, do nothing all day, and never went to college. K*ll m*. And f*ck you UKposts, let me curse.

Done. At least 5 of them. I'm going to start building each, when my app starts profiting

Im making a design for the wall of vulcano power generator and also designing houses for Pluto colonisation. Yeah, 500 years it is.

Look how full of themselves these kinds of people are, even thought their so called "sketches" would be used at all. Well solving tough problems are quite alright i guess, its repsectable

@Ajay: That's damn well put man :)

Exactly!

I noticed the 2nd smartest wasn't on the list at all ;( Archimedes

Yup, disappointing video lol

Ok

No... Being smart actually does mean knowing alot.. intelligence is what makes you useful with your knowledge.

Wow, you just cracked the code that many scientists and philosophers for the the past centuries have been trying to solve. Just wow...

knowing a lot is just knowledge like people with PhD know a lot about their fields. Quantitatively, being smart or intelligent is how fast you learn new stuff. Which is why geniuses would learn 5 languages at age 12 or goto college as preteens etc

Intelligence is the combination of experience, knowledge, tactics, problem-solving, planning.

SUPRISE! I am the funniest YTer evah!!!! Just kidding, it was no surprise. Everybody knew already. HAHAHHAHA!!!! That was an amazing joke (it was real talk though). WAWAWAWAWA!!!! Good afternoon, dear linda

Are you OK?
