Who do you think is the smartest person on GFY?
 

Sleazy asked if you think that you're smart. Well, instead of telling us about you, tell us about someone else.

Keep in mind that many nerdy scientists with huge IQ's are actually white coat wearing lab doc's who earn a salary. So someone doing well in business and getting rich doesn't necessarily mean that they are the smartest.

Ok, go.

Smart? Either Lens or Lars.

JFK. who else?

define smart for me please

OY..........thats something to live up to :winkwink: but Thanks eh :thumbsup

Smart refers to quick intelligence and often a ready capability for taking care of one's own interests.
Intelligence usually implies the ability to cope with new problems and to use the power of reasoning and inference effectively.

Dean Capture. he is a smart person!

Me of course :winkwink:

AlienQ invented smartness :2 cents:

I have a feeling there are alot of smart people in this business.

The adult business has been a technology innovator.

Xclusive, He's also damn sexy if you ask me:)

kak_azn hands down

probably chio

mike69
aka
lens past programmer dude

Juicy :D

anal hobbit

I second that :1orglaugh

It is better to remain silent and appear wise than to speak and remove all doubt.

So I say it's one of the lurkers.

I would say somebody that joined the board in like 2001 and has like 50-150 posts ;)

Think about the time they saved and managed to do with it ;)

I got 4500 :Oh crap

pimpdogg and amp!!!

i third that

Lensman... no question...

Lars & KRL

I agree. It'll be someone who doesn't post all day because they're busy doing more constructive things :)

soul rebel

maybe not #1, but hes the first one that pops to mind

I'd almost say that if one were creating a list, I'd have to at least get an honorable mention since the software I created spurned a $400 million/year industry, spurned another $80 million/year industry, forced hundreds of companies to update their software and marketing practices and created many jobs..

But I showed it to the wrong people who showed it to their friends who copied it from offshore companies - so I lose alot of points for being trustfully stupid!

My money is on Colin

it did other things too

Yeah, pimpdogg is definitely up there, he's played this board (and others) so well to fit his interests.

Which leads to the "Does smart = Money" question.
Which GFY decided is false.
Which is the answer I believe.

I believe that a large majority of brilliant minds are not recognised, nor the impact of them on the world is even realised till genie comes out of the bottle.

In which case the concept brought into the world is brutally cannibalised via replication.

It's called free market capitalism.

I think Smokeythebear posts the most meaningful and useful posts...definitely a smart guy:thumbsup

The Ones You Don't Hear From

As Opposed To Those You Do Hear From That Capitalize Every Word In A Sentense? :upsidedow

ok so it's not you ;)

in terms of computers - smokey the bear
in terms of business - lars, lensman
in terms of knowledge - not a clue

I know I'm smart, but not that smart. And I dont know who is.

I'm going to say PleasurePays, jayeff (I think thats how he spells it), and JMM. All seem extremely knowledgeable.

Not everyone who's running succesfull biz is smart .

That would be me, dude.

Notabook

Im not gonna read this thread but i just did a fast CTRL+F for "polish" and I see noone mentioned me...

polish aristocrat

Paul Markham

and sly and JMM

He was my first choice ... I've always enjoyed his posts.

I remember once I said something back to him and a co-worker is like "careful..that's Smokey, he's smart."

And that he is ...

Thanks. My point exactly. People not posting all day tend to = smart.
