QUOTE NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Smarter children may enjoy longer lives, the results of a new study suggest. The study, which followed elderly adults deemed gifted by childhood IQ tests, found that the higher their early IQs were, the longer they lived -- up to a point, at least. The survival advantage began to plateau after a childhood IQ of 163, an intelligence level few people reach. FORRRRREEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAL???????????????  must be a slow news day..

i think you guys are missing the point - or maybe i too general
i was sarcastic pointing out the "breakthrough" because i thought it was common sense to people that smarter people make smarter decisions which would allow them to live longer lol like you got a person with IQ 35 and a person with IQ 160 standing on the edge of a cliff. a butterfly flys past them both. who is most likely to jump to catch the butterfly? lol |
