Bohemund Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I would like to see some opinions before I give my own... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deity Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 The latter. With intelligence, I could think of something to acquire the former. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is true, you can always gain more muscle, but you can never gain more intelligence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lolDeath Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Yes you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bohemund Posted February 10, 2009 Author Share Posted February 10, 2009 (edited) Yes you can. No you cannot. Your ability to learn and brain capacity only deteriorates with age, it never increases. When you learn your max and yet learn something new, either something is being sacrificed, or you're not actually committing it to long-term memory.

lolDeath Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Wait, you think that everyone learns everything that they possibly can? Hahah! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magical CC Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Unquestionable Intelligence sound cool but if I have an Unquestionable Intelligence then maybe I wont go to SF anymore.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esau of Isaac Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Yes you can. It depends on how you define intelligence, honestly; you're probably not going to wake up one day and develop a knack for solving non-linear mathematics in your head. You can gain knowledge, obviously enough, but I believe that this isn't what the OP is speaking of. Despite the fact that intelligence is a rather vague term, I think he means if you basically woke up one day and had a super-brain. If this is discussing whether I'd rather wake up one day and have some kind of mad memorization skills along with the capability to assess situations at lightning-fast speed, then definitely the latter. I've always dreamt of how awesome it would be to sit and watch something, then forever be able to recall the event to perfection, even down to my thoughts at the time. Learning would be so much more fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Learning would be so much more fun. This sounds amazin. But I'm going to go with amazing strength. I feel comfortable with my intelligence at the moment. With more intelligence comes more knowledge, and as far as I'm concerned, Iwith knowledge comes responsibility. There are so many more things you can take care of AND things only you can take care of. Also, I already hate going around being smarter than the average Joe, I'd hate being super intelligent. If I see the evil truth of so many things now, imagine when you can analyze everything. I'd be hella depressed. Yes, I know how ridiculous my argument sounds.

Ah, then he and I are talking about two different things, which explains why I was thinking he must be 8. My apologies, Bohemund. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luigi bros Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Intelligence because I hate fighting and it would serve me better than strength ever would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
California Mountain Snake Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 The former. Unquestionable intelligence would just be redundant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erk Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 The latter. With intelligence, I could think of something to acquire the former. :D I agree with this, If I have Intelligence, I could make a machine to give me mutant strength.

Admiral "Bull" Halsey Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Unquestionable Intelligence for wits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YokaiKnight Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Go ahead and kill it from the start.It is true, you can always gain more muscle, but you can never gain more intelligence. There's a limit for both. Pretty much no one reaches either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Tyler Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Incredible strength. I want to be as much of a violent brute as possible during a fight and strong enough to lift shit that the average human couldn't. Still, it would suck to kill some of my intelligence however.

General Spoon Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I chose the intelligence one, even though it doesn't help Eggman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Tarrasque Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I'd prefer intelligence (not taking it for granted again >_>). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inactive Account Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Intelligence. Physical strength can be increased if you work at it; the capacity to learn and reason can be refined, but not increased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGV Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Good question. Probably intelligence. Girls my age like smart guys. Plus, I don't need strength in my everyday life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kintenbo Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I'm not really sure. Having intelligence is nice, but doesn't help much if you have the ability to make use of it. Strength is nice, but that doesn't help much if you have little intelligence to make use of it. Tough choice.....I'm already pretty strong, so more intelligence might help me more.

Edorian Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Intelligence. Physical strength can be increased if you work at it; the capacity to learn and reason can be refined, but not increased. Even if you work really hard youll never be able to reach the point where you are able to stop a car, lift a boulder, destroy a wall with your bare fists etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
