Super Athlete or Super Genius?

[MMKM]

Which would you pick?

A) You are Bo Jackson, Michael Jordan and Muhammad Ali rolled into one. You are the world's first three sport pro athlete, have endorsement deals, video games, your face on a cereal box. Rappers write songs about you, you get mobbed by adoring fans everywhere you go. You have a 50 inch vertical jump and can bench press 600 lbs. You run a 4.1 forty. You are the sh!t. You have average intelligence with a 100 IQ and ignorance is bliss. You are a sports God and the consensus ultimate GOAT.

B) You are one of the most brilliant people in history, but not in an abstract Stephen hawking Rain Man sort of way. You can grasp every concept from simple to Astro physics. Your social IQ is equally amazing, you are charismatic, good looking and the life of the party. You can learn anything faster than anyone. You are a terrible athlete and basically can't walk and chew gum at the same time. This is a permanent and unalterable fault, it's the one thing you cannot learn.

Which would you rather be?

A easily

And why is the super genius also good looking and charismatic, thats like never the case

[MMKM]

A easily

Just to even it out a bit:oldlol:
It's completely possible and Who's gonna pick super genius if you are some little troll?

[fiddy]

B, not even close

[Smook A.]

A sounded cool, but then I remembered the part where I'd get mobbed EVERYWHERE I went. That would SUCK. No sense of privacy whatsoever. Sometimes a person just wants their space. I can think of many famous people (singers, athletes, entertainers) who were tired of being famous because they wanted to be normal. You know... walk on the streets without having a ****ing camera in their faces, flashes everywhere, fans surrounding them and shit. That sounds terrible.

I'll pick B

[bigkingsfan]

How big is my dick though?

[Akrazotile]

A easily

OH YES IT IS :pimp: :pimp: :pimp:

[fiddy]

OH YES IT IS :pimp: :pimp: :pimp:
Starface you fugly and retarded

[highwhey]

I'd rather be a chicken wing champion. Oh, wait, I already am. :pimp:

[Akrazotile]

Starface you fugly and retarded


You love my style *****

[Cocaine80s]

You couldve evened it out by making the super athlete ugly af, which is sometimes the case :lol

[Milbuck]

B and it's not even remotely close. Genius level at every facet of human intelligence, across all fields...while also being attractive, charming, confident, articulate, socially brilliant? You could accomplish literally anything and everything you feel like outside of the crazy physical/athletic related feats from choice A. Arts, politics, philosophy, science/technology, social/interpersonal connections, whatever the f*ck you want to succeed in, you could.

You wouldn't just have the potential to be a god-like figure in sports...you could be a god-like figure among humans, period.

[Milbuck]

Spend like 40 years traveling the world, exploring everywhere and studying everything about everything...smoke some DMT, get lost in the most complex mind in the world. Would be the most insane mental trip in human history.

[macmac]

Its obviously B unless my lack of athleticism and coordination makes me useless in bed.

Life goes on for a while. What you gonna do past 40 with option A? Be one of these ex athletes still trying to hold on to their glory days and swear they can still play in the league? With option B, you can do anything you want and enjoy It well into your old age.

[InspiredLebowski]

B gives you the expertise to be A into your old age. This is a bad question.

[Cocaine80s]

This question is pretty much: Who would you rather be, MJ or Elon Musk?


I pick MJ (Even though Lebron is better)

[fiddy]

No need for confirmation, everybody knows you dumb AF

[Cocaine80s]

No need for confirmation, everybody knows you dumb AF
Im actually smart af


Also, didnt read.

[KyrieTheFuture]

I can get rich quicker with option A

That's a no brainer
Completely false, you would have total mastery of the stock market if you were B

[Milbuck]

I can get rich quicker with option A

That's a no brainer
:oldlol:

[macmac]

That's a no brainer

That's because you're too stupid to understand the potential of having a genius brain plus amazing social skills. You can't comprehend being the opposite of what you are now, because taking away your stupidity is taking away the very fabric of your being. Basically, You would not be you, if you weren't a moron.

[macmac]

I pick MJ (Even though Lebron is better)

Elon Musk lacks both good looks and great social skills as many of his ex employees will be glad to tell you. He has a hard time managing people but he is still an amazing entrepreneur because of his quick learning skills, his ambition and work ethic, and his vision and ability to think outside the box.

Based on OP's description, you would be able to eclipse him.

Social interactions are just as important in trying to lead a happy life, so being masterful at that is something a lot of ppl are discounting. You can be an amazing athlete and still have problems discussing private matters with a loved one or dealing with her emotions. Or making friends like Kobe, etc.

He has to be trolling, i refuse to accept that this stupid people are wasting air

[macmac]

Sorry if I offended you pencil neck nerds. I'd rather play a sport than do whatever boring shit you can think of.

That's not what you said tho, you said it'd be much easier to become rich with option A. Which is retarded.


Enjoying sports is definitely an amazing experience. But as you move into your 30s it becomes much less important than in your teens and 20s. Not to mention that with option A, you are still not injury proof. One serious injury and it's all taken away from you and you end up living a life of regret and what ifs

So OPs description is pretty much a real life Tony Stark from Iron Man?

Then yea I'd pick option b too

[Milbuck]

RTC has to be trolling with that shit.

Only a complete moron wouldn't understand the value of having genius level intellect at literally every field and every facet of human knowledge and understanding, with the social skills and presence to apply it perfectly in the real world. You could be the richest, most powerful, most influential individual in history, a god-like figure of humanity remembered forever onwards.

BUT NAH I WANNA DUNK AND HAVE PEOPLE BUY MY JERSEY ONLINE LOL

[Milbuck]

Same answer. The things you can do with genius intellect at everything shits on being an elite athlete. And it'll be even more obvious when you hit your late 30s onwards and your athleticism fades, and you realize what a boring, useless f*ck you are in the grand scheme of things, watching younger athletes make you look totally pedestrian, finding happiness in your face being on cereal boxes and asian kids wearing your jersey during pickup...while I dominate politics, economics, art, whatever I want in my 50s, 60s, 70s, until the day I die.

You act like MJs life sucks right now. Dude has a hot ass wife, sells shitloads of shoes, gets massive respect wherever he goes, probably just chills all day.

I wouldnt wanna be doing any politics, or other work in my 50s

Also Ali, wasnt just a boxer, dude had a whole movement behind him

[StephHamann]

A is a mix of Jordan Ali and Bo Jackson so he is black?

Gimme B

[Milbuck]

And you could be a hundred times richer, more powerful, more respected and influential than MJ ever was at his peak with option B if you know how to use it. And when you are all those things, chill as much as you want. Hire the hottest women in the world to suck your dick every morning as an alarm clock. The world is yours.

This is loser mentality at its finest. You have the opportunity to be a god among humans and remembered as such for as long as humanity exists, and you'd rather settle for selling shoes, playing golf and having a hot wife :oldlol:

Please tell me how one would pull this off

[Milbuck]

Please tell me how one would pull this off
Read the OP. You have genius level intellect and understanding potentially across every field imaginable. Politics, economics, science, religion, society, art, literature, everything. With the social skills and personality to apply it in the real world perfectly. Think about the scope of those gifts.

Yea but what exactly can you do in those fields that would make people worship you as a god? Like tell me what you would do if you were in that position. I think the most influential thing you could do would be maybe curing cancer or inventing some other type of medicine that could stop aging and shit (assuming that would be possible)

Also i dont understand why you put religion and art in there. Being an artist (as a drawer/painter, or in music,acting etc) doesnt have to do with being really smart, it comes from creativity.

Being an artist (as a drawer/painter, or in music,acting etc) doesnt have to do with being really smart, it comes from creativity.You just listed off one example. Doing something like some groundbreaking medical advance is just one of thousands of things you could do to get global and long-term recognition and admiration that shits on anything you could get as a GOAT athlete. Just one drop in an ocean of things you could accomplish. Idk why you insist I spell it out, it's like asking what you could do with a billion dollars. Pick something, anything.

And understanding and excelling in art performance, composition, etc absolutely has something to do with your intelligence. You have the ability to grasp the technical aspects of anything (not including athletic feats like sports), and the mental capacity to form as complex of ideas about everything as anyone could imagine. Don't see how that doesn't give you endless potential in art fields.

[Lebron23]

Super Genius.

Ok put a genius in a studio and have them put out a good album :oldlol:

Honestly, you could do all that shit but i dont have any interest in politics or economics etc. Id rather play ball and enjoy my life carefree. I dont know why you want to be recognized that bad in life, id rather just have fun and make a shit load of money while doing it.

I dont know why you want to be recognized that bad in life, id rather just have fun and make a shit load of money while doing it....of course it wouldn't happen in one day. Same way a GOAT tier athlete also isn't a GOAT tier athlete from his first day playing whatever sport it is.

It's not just about being recognized. For me it's about the possibilities. If there are gifts available that could give me the mental and social capacity to elevate myself to the most powerful positions in the world, I'm taking that shit. Every day.

And being really f*cking smart isn't a chore. I don't know why you and RTC act like you'd be this nerd in a dimly lit basement lab somewhere. You'd just be off the charts intelligent and socially aware. How you use that is totally up to you. Whether that's doing great things with it, or just getting stupid rich and partying nonstop.

[Micku]

Option B is like the person who'll sign MJ's checks and tell him to have a good time.

Option B has more flexibility and potentially more money and power. If you are creative enough, you can develop and help create many things. Things that could benefit mankind or help damage it. You could create video game company and program some revolutionary games, create an OS to compete with Apple and MS, help cure cancer or other diseases, help reducing aging, create better and more efficient energy sources, create artificial gravity to help space travel, research more on telomeres to stop/slow down aging, make your contribution to the research on the higgs boson to find out more about dark matter, or create an ironman suit or a super soldier serum, lol.

You can do so much with a super genius level intellect than you can as a super athlete. And since you added the super genius with awesome social skills, you can get connections from high places. You're Tony Stark. If you combine both athletic and genius, then you are Batman. lol

Anyway, give me super genius with awesome creativity and motivation.

[MMKM]

B gives you the expertise to be A into your old age. This is a bad question.

No. Maybe I didn't make that clear enough but when I said "you are a terrible athlete," that is a permanent and unalterable trait. Being able to learn anything faster than anyone applies to all cognitive and fine motor skills but your gross motor skills required for sports will permanently be terrible. Could you make an iron man suit? Yes, but you can't play a sport in it and will always suck athletically.

[ROCSteady]

Option B.


Pretty simple, really. Mostly for the sustainability thing. You can have amazing projects for several decades after an athlete retires.

Plus, dude said basically Ali + Jordan + Bo Jackson. Out of those 3, 66.667 % have either endured severe brain trauma as a result of being so good at his sport or had a short career because his body couldn't take the toll that the physics of it churned out on the joints.

Also, as much as I love sports, the results are pretty trite and non consequential. The great thing about sports is the inspiration and lessons you can learn from an athlete pushing his mind and body to the next level but the actual accomplishments are really just small potatoes in the grand scheme. The most poignant and evocative thing about sports for me these days is not really who the champ is or who the MVP is that season, because that's an ever changing landscape with new 'best teams' and 'best player' year to year or every few years, but rather how to extrapolate the metaphors of athletic greatness in all areas of life to create a sustainable notion of strength and admiration.

Sustainability. That's where it's at for me. In athletics, sustainability at the highest level will get you 10 years if you are a phenom. Outside of dementia or mental illness, the effectiveness of the mind can get you ~ 75 years. Gimmie that.

Also, without the social awkwardness of Zuckerberg and them cats? Going to your own launch parties and being suave & charming to everyone?

Yea lemme get Number B with a side of humor and charm. I be like Tesla mixed with George Clooney and take that any day, all day

[DrakeTheSnake]

B, easily.

[24-Inch_Chrome]

Who wouldn't choose Iron Man? You are Iron Man + Stephen Hawking rolled into one.

Careful, though, man. The quest for knowledge can make your existence profoundly depressing. Introspection can make you incredibly lonely.

There is something to be said for the blissfully ignorant.

[Levity]

easily, B

and then id just create flubber and be the best and first full court dunker in the history of the world.

[West-Side]

What a retarded question.
Obviously B.

Who gives a **** if I'm not athletic?
I'll take charisma & intelligence any day of the week; that shit alone will get you far more ***** than being athletic.

Heck charisma alone is far more important at getting premium ***** over being a dumb jock. But you add in intelligence?

Which equals accomplishments, wealth, respect???

[West-Side]

I'm sticking with A if it meant adding elite athleticism and skill without taking anything from me.

I'd be traveling the world putting a ball through a hoop for 14-17 years and earn over $300,000,000+ just through NBA contracts. Then another $300,000,000+ on a simple shoe during my playing career. Then another $50,000,000 on endorsement deals.

Working for 15 years earning enough money to support my grandchildren's grandchildren.

Yeah, but you'll earn this over 20 years, then what?

You'll become Charles Barkley and gamble it all away, or invest poorly; or live a luxurious life style because you're a dumb ass jock who didn't get an education. :confusedshrug:

Charisma & intelligence doesn't fade away with age like athleticism does; in fact it grows stronger.

[oarabbus]

So basically would you rather be LeBron/MJ or an extremely handsome Elon Musk/Bill Gates hybrid


lmao B easily, not even a question. Person B would take shits on person A's palty $500 million dollar net worth.

Person B is a billionaire genius who is handsome as hell, suave, charismatic... game over.

So is it just about the $? Which would be more fun? Not picking sides, just curious

[KyrieTheFuture]

Sorry if I offended you pencil neck nerds. I'd rather play a sport than do whatever boring shit you can think of.
I'll have fun owning the team you play for

[MMKM]

I'll have fun owning the team you play for

So appropriate that Kyrie would want to sit on the sidelines :lol

[MMKM]

I know B is not athletic, but if I worked out in the gym, would I be able to obtain a sculpted body, or would I not be able to lift weights?

Yeah physical fitness, not a problem. Being a good athlete no shot.

[JEFFERSON MONEY]

Careful, though, man. The quest for knowledge can make your existence profoundly depressing. Introspection can make you incredibly lonely.

There is something to be said for the blissfully ignorant.

Quite the opposite

[Marv_Albert]

Super athletic option A

Make your money and dabble into business opportunitys surely if your that good your going to get a brand connection and your going to be the ambassador for a really long time (that's where most athletes make their money)

[ILLsmak]

A easily

And why is the super genius also good looking and charismatic, thats like never the case

word?

-Smak

[TheReal Kendall]

Like Fallen said if I'm just adding super athleticism to what I already have then I'll take option A easily.

Some of y'all keep talking about money but how much do you really need?

Also what's my health like? Hell look at Steve Jobs, he had it all but died fairly early.

To me option A would be more fun and I could basically whatever I want and still have my good looks and get whatever woman I want.

[iamgine]

Geniuses are miserable.

I'd prefer to be the athlete if I can choose. So would the geniuses.

[MMKM]

Option A making a comeback

[oarabbus]

So is it just about the $? Which would be more fun? Not picking sides, just curious


It's not just about the $ because you said person B is charismatic, suave, life of the party, etc.

If you said pimply faced, autistic, antisocial nerd I would take person A without a second thought.

But since person B is handsome and socially brilliant... the money trumps athleticism EASY. I mean we are talking about someone who can legitimately make billions here, while being extremely popular and attractive.

[KyrieTheFuture]

If I'm a Michael Jordan level athlete I can own a team of my own with a great marketing team.

Plus, being a legendary athlete comes with millions upon millions of fans. People know you on a first name basis and your face is recognizable worldwide.
When you're 50 maybe, I'll own one at 20. Why would you want fans? Besides, you're retarded if you think more people know about MJ than Bill Gates or Steve Jobs. Does anyone remember gladiators? No, but plenty of great thinkers have been remembered for 1000s of years. There's literally no reason to pick A.

[24-Inch_Chrome]

Just curious, does option A include some kind of guarantee against being injured? You mention Bo and his playing career was all but over by the time he was 30.
