ahhhhhhhhhhhh....clever question\n\nIt first appears to question one's arrogance rather than intelligence.

The most answers to a question I have seen by far is the one that Dr Deepak Chopra asked a couple of weeks ago in the philosophy section...in fact it was even featured in the main Yahoo home page!  I just looked it up and it had 26,760 answers and has been resolved by Dr. Chopra...The person got 16 thumbs up too.  I answered it but there were so many answers I never found mine!  LOL

My rule tends to be that if I don't have something worthwhile to contribute to the answers already posted, I do not answer.  That's the only way for the "noise" factor to be defeated on a site like this one.  Answer what you know, learn what you do not, and ask intelligent questions.  That's the formula for a great community at Yahoo! Answers.

I think that would be an interesting suggestion.. Answers is still in Beta stage.

ofcourse!! its a good idea... \ncoz most of the people here.. answer only general question.. and hence questiions related to facts remain unanswered!  \n\natleast it would increase the probability of  'difficult' questions being answered!!

I am not sure I read a question there, but if you want to know 'How smart God is?" I think a good answer would be smarter than you.

yes it is possible to give un-biased answers. The questions should state that you want facts not opinions and ask for scientific or other (useful) - factual - info. I would not say I am brilliant, but I have got an IQ of 140. Besides, its because he can... LOL

I agree. My first ever question, that I genuinely didn't know the answer to, was largely answered by really inane sounding people, calling me a moron; how educated...\nThey left these smug comments, which other peoples answers proved way wrong. Some people don't seem to realise that there are many different schools of thought about a variety of subjects. I have to say though, the majority of answerers are really helpful and interesting; on a few occasions they have really touched my heart, giving me a massive positive experience of the web. Block out the dimwits; they usually ask stupid questions which are beneath a decent response anyway...

Not at all. I only answer questions I'm interested in, and ones I feel like I have something to contribute.  Even when I answer sarcastically, or argue unpleasantly, it's still input of who I am.  Good question, though.

Is that the truth?\nWell going on most of the questions here its probably because they would if they could, and man wouodn't have stopped long enough to gain any inteligence.

According to Hitchhikker's Guide, it is impossible to know the Question to Life, the Universe and Everything at the same time as the answer (42). So since we know the answer, we can never, ever know the question, for they cancel each other out and life as we know it will cease to exist and start anew.\n\nDeeep. . . .

I doubt it. There is a long tradition of Christian intellectualism (just ask the Jesuits). Read contemporary theological commentators like Spong and Borg and try to suggest that they're in possession of low IQs. Personally, I'm religious and hold a doctorate, something not generally awarded to idiots. Of course, I also know some very intelligent atheists...as well as a few prize-winning morons of that persusion. There are both bright and ignorant people from both camps, believing and non-believing.

Any chance you can ask an intelligent question?

I'd have to say that answers are dependent on interpretation of intent.  If one perceives the question to be smart-ass, that is usually the tone of answer received.\nThen too... some just believe themselves superior and can't resist presenting a condescending attitude.

I think it's a little of both. I've seen some answers that were extremely helpful to the person asking the question, and you could tell that the answers had been given a lot of thought and contained very useful wisdom and knowledge. For sure these reflect not only the knowledge of our society but also the kindness of a stranger offering their own experience, advice and information for the sake of helping another out.\n\nOn the other hand (and this seems to be the case more) a lot of answers are either a quick snapshot of the person's opinion (not offering any wisdom or knowledge though and not much thought put into it) or otherwise just a wise crack on the side which I would guess is disregarded by everyone else because it's pretty much useless.

absolutely! and i think thats a great question. i did not know about cyc or 20q.\n\ni could see this yahoo beta program here as something when properly utilized that could become the basis for sometihng 'smart'. and i dont just mean the answers to all of the questions, although those are certainly an integral part. i think that maybe what we are missing in our quest for artificial intelligence is that we are try to figure out how to get a machine to understand all of these facts and figures and answers.\n\ni think that we need to rethink things. what if we could teach a machine to ask questions?\n\nanyway, these are sortof the random musings that bounce around in my mind. good luck!
