“People that we think are very smart are not necessarily very smart. They are more likely to be educated in their particular field or very experienced in their careers and we confuse that with smartness.”

Bon voyage
Ultimately, our future is like a mirror. Whenever we face it, it always reflects what we left behind.

alright so can i ask another part on my old request which was genius reader x Nikola and the scientist/male reader who is basically William James Sidis.
so like what if male reader never turn his back on science and knowledge and just did it in secret without Nikola and the other scientist knowing
(this was after they knew male reader was smart if not more smarter then them:
it happened when one of them said "if only there where other geniuses we knew…that can help us with this"
because they're having trouble with both a invention and mathematical problem and male reader heard this and said "more geniuses? i know people that might help!"the other scientist looked at male reader confused, because they thought, they where the only geniuses he knew,
so male reader led them to his laboratory/research area which they never knew and when they asked him why he didn't tell them about this, male reader hit them with the classic "because you didn't ask!"
the door looked like a big clock which made the other scientists confused on how they didn't see this! so when the hand hit 12 the clock door opened
the inside was a large steampunk looking laboratory with thousands of books reaching the ceilings making it look like a library, paper scattered the floor, inventions left and right
and having two floors! and having rooms like a chemistry room, craft room basically everything you need! basically a genius paradise!
as well as having a very large chalkboard ware Gottfried Leibniz and Goethe,Johann Wolfgang von was writing theories
on the side was leonardo da vinci painting a large mural on the side of the wall and Marilyn vos Savant was on the second floor and was talking with Ada Lovelace and Hypatia, Ettore Majorana was sitting down on one of the chairs reading a book and writing theories talking with charles darwin
and Mozart was playing the piano on a little stage to the side filling the room with a beautiful Melody
as well as Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson AND Andres Bonifacio as well as Jose Rizal himself taking to each other about they're respective revolution's and politics,
here's the list of everyone there!
the list:
1.) leonardo da vinci
iq:180-220
title:greatest inventor and painter of his time
2.) Goethe, Johann Wolfgang von
iq:210-225
title:A German poet, playwright, novelist, scientist, statesman, theatre director, and crit
3.) Marilyn vos Savant
iq:180-228
title:the smartest woman to have ever lived
4.) Gottfried Leibniz
iq:182-205
title:Russian Privy Councillor from Peter I as well as Privy Councillor at the Imperial Court in Vienna.
5.) Ettore Majorana
iq:183-200
title:the scientist who disappeared without a trace/the one who possibly discovered neutrons
6.) Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
iq:150-155
title: the greatest and most well known composer in history
7.) Alexander Hamilton
iq:120-160
title:secretary of the treasury and one of the founding fathers
8.) Benjamin Franklin
iq:130-160
title:the father/discoverer of lightning and one of the founding fathers
9.) jose Rizal
iq:150-160
title:Father of Filipino Nationalism/the one who started the Philippines revolution
10.) andres bonifacio
iq:100-140??(not sure)
title:the Father of the Philippine Revolution/The Great Plebeian, Supremo of the Katipunan
11.) Thomas Jefferson
iq:160-175
title:one of American Founding Father/the principal author of the Declaration of Independence
12.) charles darwin
iq:150-165
title:the father of evolution /the one who put light on human evolution
13.) Hypatia
iq:170–210
title:the greatest Neoplatonist philosopher, astronomer, and mathematician of her time
14.) Ada Lovelace!
iq:170-200
title:mother of computer/the one who revolutionized computer programmer
(you can search their names if you want to know more)
and turns out all of those geniuses and male reader are literally the bestest of friends! like all of them yelling theories and opinions left and right and basically teaching and helping each other so that they can understand there respective fields/talents.
and turns out reader and the 14 geniuses would often hang out in reader's laboratory/research area, almost everyday because of how frequently they use his lab/area.
and so how would the other scientist and Nikola react to seeing male reader being the best of friends with the most important and greatest minds in history and how would they would they feel about it?
-It had been a few weeks since you showed off your intelligence, fixing a problem that your friends, Nikola, Marie, Isaac, and Thomas had been tearing their hair out over.
-It was a slow process for you to open up, helping them out with more of their problems and questions, as past trauma made it a little scary for you.
-However, once you started, you remembered how fun it was for you, working with complex problems, asking all sorts of questions, and discovering new breakthroughs.
-Nikola patted you on your back, looking proud as he looked over the newest equation you had been working on with Isaac, “This is amazing Y/N!”
-You gave him a warm smile and Marie, who was nearby, finishing her own research, “How did you not go crazy while not doing this stuff? I get antsy after just a few hours if I don’t work on something.”
-You just grinned, offering them a break and you led them down a long hallway, “There were other things to keep my mind busy- not just science and questions. And I had some help with it.”
-They came to a stop in front of a large metal door, covered with intricate clockwork mechanisms and you knocked before opening the door and their eyes went wide.
-Before them were so many more geniuses, not just scientists, but geniuses in their own fields, like Mozart, who was playing on the piano, greeting you as you walked in as he paused, writing a few more notes on his sheet music.
-You passed by Charles Darwin, greeting him who paused to greet you, as did Ettore Majorana, before returning to their conversation.
-You stopped at a large wall, seeing Leonardo Da Vinci painting a massive but stunningly beautiful mural, “Looks good Leo- you’ve been working hard!”
-Leonardo looked down, seeing you and the new guests, “Ahh hello my friends! I’m glad you like it- it will be even better once I’ve finished everything!”
-Thomas was in awe, seeing more of histories’ geniuses, just relaxing and working around the room, like Gottfried Leibniz, Goethe, Marilyn Vos Savant, Ada Lovelace, and Hypatia to name a few, and soon you were by yourself, speaking with Leonardo, as your friends had rushed to talk with the others in the room.
-You couldn’t help but grin, shaking your head like you were exasperated, seeing everyone quickly getting hyper- all of them enjoying having new faces and fresh minds to have discussions with.
-Your friends were quick to discover that while you weren’t working on science, or at least the science they were used to- you kept your mind sharp with your fellow brilliant minds.
-You sank into a nearby chair, leaning your cheek on your fist, a smile on your face- things were going to be loud for a while- but you didn’t mind, seeing the others all so happy as well.

Fried Chicken with Orange Rosemary Sauce
Finding the best chicken dishes is something I do frequently. Naturally, those that are quick and simple, but also those that are just the most delectable chicken dinners, the kind that you want to prepare often.

Connecting the World
Blog Post 1
Tumblr media
Greetings, My fellow travelers and travel hopefuls!
I am a senior student in English with a concentration in writing. I have an easy-going personality that's observant, and creative. This is a gentle way of saying quiet introvert. As such, I'm always watching and listening to things and people within my surroundings. My children used to call my (attentiveness) observant behavior nosy. However, they grew to understand the importance of observation, "to acquire knowledge, one must study; but to acquire wisdom, one must observe," (Marilyn vos Savant). I 'm a family-oriented person who loves to laugh and seek every opportunity to find humor in what we call life. I love to cook, write poetry, and travel.
As an observant traveler, I noticed throughout my travels there were pigeons in every destination within and outside the United States, so apropos the name pigeontravelspots. Pigeons originated 20,000 years ago from the shores of North Africa (Mesopotamia). They are often seen as pesty little creatures and once referred to as "rats with wings"(Woody Allen). However, the rich history of these birds is often forgotten or simply unknown to many. Historically they were our first messengers (mailing and mapping system) because they are smart with highly developed adaptability and great homing ability (mapping system). Also, these love birds' mate for life, they are symbols of love and peace. However, there are different religious symbols for these birds. Furthermore, the gif I chose is ironically a painting I saw in Brussels, Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium called "The Return" by Le Retour De terugkeer.
Final note, I will connect the world through travel. Thusly, illuminating the common threads we share and the rich history that binds us together, if you will a pigeon view of its magnificent beauty. So, like the pigeons take flight!
I hope you will enjoy the journey!

salut maman ! your recent post of “savoir vs connaître” reminded me of something that happened in a (uni!) class last week. someone said that the word “savant” was named after marilyn vos savant, and i was immediately like “…no…it’s from a french verb meaning ‘to know’…same with connoisseur…” thought you might find this as funny as i did 💖 also, ty for keeping me in check with my french skills when can’t devote as much time as i’d like to studying!
Of course! Another win for the nerds! x

Monty Hall problem is also interesting from the angle that it was popularized by Marilyn vos Savant (who supposedly had the world’s highest recorded IQ, whatever that means) in her columns and she suffered a lot of misogynistic “corrections” even from fellow mathematicians, even though she was absolutely right and it’s not that complicated of a problem mathematically
