No, it’s not the point.

The fuck are you talking about the movie clearly shows him in his room powering through textbooks and he talks to psych about all the books in the room he's read.
He fucking says at the end of that exact speech that the kids spending millions on an education he could get with a library card.

That's his character arc dummy.
Robin Williams dabs on him later for regurgitating what he read because he's a kid without life experience.

OP is an idiot who just totally ignored that Will's house is basically nothing but a room with books he reads voraciously.

IT'S HUNTING SEASON

Discussion about this film really speaks to the demographic of Yea Forums. While it's presented poorly, there is nothing all that uncommon about Will Hunting's knowledge and intelligence in the film. If you - not that anyone in this thread has apparently - attend any top 10 university, people like this are everywhere. It's not that special at all.

>No, I just read Vicus so I'm up on inherited wealth Hunting. But you're no longer the angry brilliant young mind you once were, just itching to vent your frustrations. No. You stopped hitting the books with a vengeance and now I've read shit you've not even HEARD about yet.Face facts my friend. You're just no longer that good, Will Hunting.

>Now how do you, like dem apples?

Will is literally a super genius who excels in all fields though, but that's not how actual academics work. Not only is he a math genius he also thinks that bio chemistry course the girl takes is child's play. People who excel in one field are typically agnostic or only have a general understanding of another

>typically
Well he's not typical.

The whole speech is about how he's seen these kids before and the guy isn't smart he's just reciting the basic college curriculum trying to show off in front of the townies.

Yep. He can read a page and take in all the knowledge in like 2 seconds. Made it clear when he probably got through that fag shrink's book in like half an hour to an hour just to fuck with him next day.

Whats the point of his knowledge though when you can't or don't want to use it in order to acquire resources with it? Studying chemistry, mathematics, politics, economics etc. is fucking pointless if you aren't going to use this knowledge in order to acquire wealth and resources and use them to advance the human species. He could have studied programming books or stock trading books and use his knowledge and intellect to earn money in silicon valley or wall street. But instead, he would rather use that knowledge to publicly humiliate some random punk in a college bar in order to impress some girl and his bros. Thats the problem with turbo autists like Will. They believe that using their knowledge in the private sector is completely pointless because "muh money" is pointless.

It's not that weird. Neither of them proved they had more than a cliff notes understanding of the authors they were talking about. And if you're an American who's interested in politics you're likely to eventually come across discussions about the history of economics in America. The part where he cited a specific page number I'll admit was overkill, though he may have been bluffing.

Not always,
People that understand a lot of fields are rare but exist. He did mention he's terrible at music and art.

There is no man alive as intelligent as this character. Why am I so certain?
Photographic memory doesn't exist, and this character has it,
Combined with a high IQ no one can really touch him.
He's a stupid character, what idiots think geniuses are like.

It's basically a smart character written by dumbs.

Did you even watch the film? He had no interest in the girl. She later calls him an idiot afterwards for not then flirting with her after dominating the other guy.

Plenty of smart people develop an interest in fields outside their area of expertise. Actually, it's hard to think of a leading intellectual who doesn't espouse opinions in other areas as if they're some sort of authority on them. They tend to be really shitty takes though.

Yeah im in grad school for math and most of the people are too fucking involved in their own fields to give a shit about history or the humanities in general.

Well, some people have memories like that, but they're low-functioning autists.

Nah Will is a fucking autist that is trying WAY too hard to be a normie. He has this mindset that being an acknowledged genius and working in a scientific field in the private or public sector and thus contributing to society is fucking pointless because the world is utter shit. He starts rumbling during the NSA interview about "muh veterans", "muh corrupt politicians", "muh oil", "muh wars", "muh oil spills" etc. Well, boo-hoo Will the world was, is and will always be like that. Yes there will always be corrupt politicians and yes there will always be pointless wars over resources, but that doesn't mean you can't use your knowledge to help advance society. Will thinks that working in construction with his buddies and living a modest and unimportant life is way better than that. But Will is just another spoiled and "privileged" western kid. He doesn't realise how lucky he is that he has such an intellect, the academic resources offered through the educational system he government offers him, or the countless career options he has. And instead has this mentality that all of it is pointless.

They wrote his intellect in such a way in order to have an satisfying narrative about him confronting his demons via therapy with Sean and his romance with the English girl. You faggots autistically harping on about how that's not what real geniuses are like missed the fucking intent, and what's worse is that you have all deluded yourselves into thinking you are the truly enlightened, intelligent ones cause you can nitpick the film's presentation of a giga genius. Is any board on this Vietnamese nitting site filled with as many smug middling intelligence faggots arrogantly convinced they are the intellectual cream of the crop as Yea Forums?

>One of his remarkable abilities was his power of absolute recall. As far as I could tell, von Neumann was able on once reading a book or article to quote it back verbatim; moreover, he could do it years later without hesitation. He could also translate it at no diminution in speed from its original language into English. On one occasion I tested his ability by asking him to tell me how A Tale of Two Cities started. Whereupon, without any pause, he immediately began to recite the first chapter and continued until asked to stop after about ten or fifteen minutes.

Von Neuman was a math genius who was also an expert at every field he turned his hand to.

>You need experience.

Will has perfect memory and spent ALL his time at home either sleeping or reading tens of thousands of books. The film clearly shows he can finish a page in about 5 seconds.

Will has more academic knowledge than almost anyone alive and used that to manipulate people. The point though is that is he has no practical experience in life, which is what Robin Williams called him out on.

A middle school friend of mine has sort of turned into this. Not the know-it-all history buff, but the dropout autodidact obsessed with intelligence. The last day of high school he told me I was the smartest person he ever met and I could be Einstein if I tried (in contrast he humbly compared himself to Elon Musk). Recently he invited me to his place and we played smash bros. He asked me if I ever "go up" or practice telepathy.

You don't get it. Will has lived near those pompous uni dickwads who flex their preliminary test knowledge on girls and constantly belittle everybody working class. Will knew the kind of guy he was and this wasn't the first time this happened. Will didn't "accidentally" read the one book the guy was studying out of coincidence and sheer luck, Will purposely sought out the books those pousers were regurgitating and discovered that he had a wicked smart brain for this shit and began reading more and more.

Autodidact, brainlet.

The whole point is that Jason Bourne's character is wicked smart and remembers everything he reads in a book.
The whole point of the movie is about learning life experience, e.g. shit you can't learn from books.

My biggest issue with this movie was that he was apparently supposed to be 20 years old (until the very end when he turns 21) but they treat him like he's an old boomer who has been working and living a working class life for years on end, also he looks way older. I'm 20 and I consider my life to have barely started.

>that's not how actual academics work
I mean, the biggest difference is when you're actually writing a dissertation. Then you're not just regurgitating things other people have written like for your undergrad essay shit. You have to actually come up with the ideas, interpretations, analysis etc. yourself.

>The idea that smart people who attend the more prestigious colleges are actually dumb people is the biggest fucking meme that Hollywood keeps trying to push.

It's true in the sense that for the most part they lack worldliness and base their viewpoints of one in which they never have to deal with the consequences of their actions.

Then, come next year you're coming into this class with the "what's wrong with this society?" attitude that will be on display for the foreseeable future: capitalism. You'll be on the same side as John Maynard Keynes.
You'll argue that socialism (the kind that I call Marxian socialism – it's a version of the modern free-market system in which the State owns the means of production and sets the prices of things) has failed because if you raise wages and prices to the market level that doesn't solve all the social problems.
In fact, because people are not being compensated according to the productive efforts of workers, and because those profits tend to be taxed away, more and more income goes to the richest one percent. It's pretty much the whole social system collapsing.

You have to ask yourself whether the idea of socialist society is really a good one, and why so many people – myself included – have come to believe that it is. We'll look at some of the arguments – all of them sound really clever – in the next few sections.
Like I get how you feel about capitalism. I'm sure you're in debt. I understand why. I'm sure you don't want to get into debt. You don't want to take it on. That's not me. I'm here to make people more aware. It's like you, me, you, what's the best way, you know? Don't be a dick. You shouldn't be acting like you know better than any of us! You shouldn't get away with it and think, As Cicero would say, veni vidi video. -- Oh, the economy is great! I mean, there's no business in this country—not just in the West—but in the world, when we get into this crazy world -- we're fucked. From the get go.

This. OP didnt get it.

If your smart, why u post on Yea Forums

the idea that a large amount of people who attend the more prestigious colleges aren't actually just paying for grades is the biggest fucking meme that retarded rich kids and naive bootlickers keep trying to push.

The point is that he can come up with that soliloquy on the spot, and the other dude is just at a loss for words, despite being more educated than Will.

The thing about very smart people is that they are smart enough to do very convincing parlor tricks to make normies think they are superhumanly smart, such as memorizing lines.

Fucking humanities students lol. Brainlets don't deserve to live.

Science, technology, engineering, mathematics, etc. are the foundation of our civilization. Not science or technology, it makes no difference and I just try to make do with the information that comes to me. But I hope that all of us remember the following. All we have is our bodies. If a human was able to control their body when they were young they would certainly live forever. But that would be foolish, because they could not control the choices they made at a young age and we are learning how to control those choices every waking moment of our lives. I try not to think too much about the future of the world or how it is changing.

Humanities become lawyers, who created and govern the free world. Pleb.

Yeah, exactly. And I kind of shared his attitude years ago after dropping out of college myself, to experience real life - to some extent that was correct - but there are particular forms of knowledge, of a breadth, rigorousness, and speciality, that you can't possibly just -have- merely by being 'le intelligent'. Like you have to put in a good decade of intensive, specialized work and study within the relevant institution and field; a few cursory sweeps of wikipedia articles or trips to the library isn't going to remotely catch you up. I realized the importance of specialized education and eventually went to put in the hard work.

But there's a defiant, smug, boyish arrogance that a relatively clever / intelligent person impulsively feels when facing this, and I understand it, I once had it too. I see it so much... when they encounter, say, an actual artist or intellectual thwy get weirdly combative and start flinging out their high school stoner hot-takes on a subject, as if they can possibly hope to compete with a 'master' of said advanced, specialized field. Their efforts to look smart are always so pathetically amateur and they don't even know it. You just can't be one of these 'master of none' internet nerds and think your lazy impressions are equivalent to people who actually do the work and have the relevant education. If you skipped out on the (elite) education, or even if you got it but it wasn't related to a field in question, then you're no better than any random bullshitting fucktard.

The point was that he had a good memory and most of education these days is just repeating whatever someone else said. Must people in general have basically no mind of their own even if they understand the particular paradigms they're given, which might be an accomplishment on it's own but they're trapped in the conventional. They're intellectual followers and not thinkers. So and so said this and that, but then this guy said this, what do you think motherfucker? Do you have any thoughts of your own?

>Political Science Major
What a mistake, any soft science or social science isn't worth the money you pay to get a piece of paper that has no bearing on climbing the socio-economic ladder whatsoever. Even the "good degrees" are for jobs that have been taken, jobs of the past that will be eliminated with the new unstable economy called the "gig economy" and impending automation will make people useless eaters which will most probably be eliminated by a major population decline that is long overdue. Information is doubling and arriving faster than it ever has and technology is taking massive leaps from what it used to be in previous centuries in just decades. With advancement in technology would come a major war and thus a population decline but we are now seeing proxy wars and a steady increase of population. Im still waiting on the second housing bubble and higher education bubbles to pop and then we'll see things get real froggy. Enjoy the ride.

Very smart people can usually just emulate a personality

On an academic level, if you're below 150 IQ you're doomed. I don't how I got this far, it just feels like I've been pretending to be smart while riding on other people's work. I have good grades but I feel really dumb when compared to everyone I meet. What the fuck is wrong with me?

I basically run MATLAB simulations, sometimes write C code for a microcontroller, get results making sure the power converters don't explode and sometimes design PCBs. I don't feel like I'm "creating anything", and I couldn't even if I wanted to. I'm devoid of creativity.

One of the guys I went to trade school with while majoring in electronics was basically an idiot savant, damn could he could make printed circuit boards like a fish takes to water. Also one of my instructors used worked with a guy he called "caveman" who was an idiot savant when it came to troubleshooting circuits on the component level. It frustrated him to no end, that he was more efficient than him in troubleshooting even though the instructor was damned brilliant. I went to get my degree in Electronics (TD) after I went to University and majored in History (B.A.) and minored in General Studies (AsC) and couldn't find work. I am now looking for a job after I quit a dead-end thankless job as an Electronics Technician working on a shitload of NDT Equipment that basically used all my skills learned from the first half of the electronics program were talking about component level troubleshooting which is rare as hens teeth these days. Chin up and embrace the suck, improvise overcome, adapt. You might have to take a job that is below your skill level and wait for an opening, hell I know a guy with a masters in Engineering who is working at Burger King. Things are fucky for everyone. Also a guy who is a friend one of my favorite English Professors from Uni earned a PhD. He became a bartender because he knew he would make more money behind a bar instead of pursuing a career in his major, the professor even admitted to all the class he was right. Life is funny like that.

There's a scene where Robin Williams basically tells him that his knowledge is worthless because he has barely been out of his neighbourhood and has never done anything with his life except get drunk and work blue collar jobs. It's a stupid scene since the movie's point seems to be that experience trumps knowledge, yet Will's friends who have definitely experienced more things than college kids are presented as retards. Will humilliates this kid because he reads a lot of books yet all Will does is read books

Ah the female breasts, they are absurd in their existence. Random mutations caused by chaos has syncronized and created them which have been placed upon a pedestal, painted on canvas, carved from marble, and displayed upon a stage under a spotlight. We assign beauty and meaning to them. Truth is all existence is absurd and shouldn't be but yet it is. It is the meaning we give that makes it worthwhile in an absurd meaningless world that distracts us from madness and our impending eventual death. The humble mammary glands save us from the madness of meaningless, the abyss, the absurd. We look at them in awe and wish to suck the milkies as we suck the marrow of life. To seize them as we sieze the day! Carpe Diem! Carpe papillae!

I'm actually the real-life Will Hunting. I found out I had a 131 IQ when I enlisted in the army after being thrown out of high school. I earned a doctorate in economics and have three restraining orders in two states from dudes whose asses I've kicked while in the army and university. I've had difficulty finding employment as a result.

In all honesty my understanding of math beyond that necessary for econ is very limited and I don't understand any other science at all.

Intellectuals are a drain. I mean jesus, it's basic maths, if each professor trains more than one new professor in his career you've got an exponential, unsustainable growth of professors looking for work. So either they're endlessly valuable or they're a fucking cancer that needs new students and their college debt and all that goes with it to sustain their growth. What do college professors actually produce?

please take your lithium

According to who? Sure as shit not the market who values a college degree less than owning a white van and a pair of work boots. Truck drivers make $40,000 a year, plumbers make up to $70K a year. How much do you make?

>We have machines that are faster and cheaper
>They can't contribute anything to society anymore
What a paradoxical statement. You sound like a retard.

Such an exquisite display of thoughtfulness. Bravo, my good sir.

Cab driver serve a purpose in transportation. College Professors partake in a ponzi scheme with little compensation to themselves other than job security due to their acceptance of certain reality tunnels as social currency (I.e. Leftism in the humanities). The curriculum the professors are forced to make by academic standards offers no advantage to the dupes who pay money to recieve a piece of paper that has no current value because college gets what a high school diploma used to get people. It is devalued and unless you have a network you might as well get real world.experience instead of gaining "soft skills" that are useless to real world experience or actually getting a "useful degree" and finding out that the market is flooded with people who have the same degree and it is devalued and/or no longer useful because the degrees of today are preparing students for the jobs of yesterday which have been taken. So the subsaharan african or Indian taxi driver who just got off the boat half a decade ago is more valued to society than a snotnosed undergrad or graduate major who has a degree in an already oversaturated or dying market because he offers a service that society values, all of that will not matter when both have been made obsolete by automation thanks to Artificial Intelligence.

Dont ever insult Neumann ever again you stupid fags. I dont give a shit about how dissatisfied you fucks are about your lives or how insecure you are about your intelligence, but insult Neumann again and i will personally ensure that you will all die horrible deaths.

He wasn't though. He was an affable, highly social bon vivant who loved parties and socializing. A completely normal mid century man who would have been a bank manager or an art dealer except for his superhuman computational power.

Neumann literally means nu-male.

No, it means "new man", born anew to wreck your soi ass.

He was also a geopolitical mastermind

>fun fact: uncle ted took part in a university experiment, MKULTRA, and the experiment tried to convince Uncle Ted he was a woman.
>CIA created the unabomber
People are constantly writing Ted asking him about this MKULTRA stuff but he always says it was mundane stuff, like filling out personality tests, with the exception of one agitating experience. He's pretty sick of people playing up this part of his formative experiences. The fact of the matter is, no one can say for certain of his experiences with the program he was in because the organization that ran the testing can't give out any info regarding his tests because it's all done by codename and they're not allowed to release the info of anyone when they're public identity and codename are known.
By his own admission it wasn't a bad experience. Given that he's pretty open about his grievances with others there's little reason to doubt him. But people got enamored with the MKULTRA stuff so it's become a (potentially) misinformed part of the Unabomber mythos. It's got to the point that whenever people write to him, IIRC, about the Harvard experiences he has a pre-written response about it being a boring but fine experience, that ends with a sales pitch for his latest book "Anti-Tech Revolution: Why and How."
In my own investigations into his experiences at Harvard, I've never, until your post, heard the claim that they tried to convince him that he was a woman.

Well, that's certainly a possibility that I can't argue with. Consider me check'd

But Ted has motive to dismiss any influence on his life that doesn't have to do with the narrative of his ideology. If people start psychoanalyzing him then they can dismiss his manifesto as coming from childhood neglect or drugs or what have you; i.e., not genuinely intellectual. That's why he's so insistent that people acknowledge he's not crazy, and why he's so insistent that his mother and brother's conjectures about his psychology are wrong. He wants people to listen to him.

This thread is FILLED with retards who think going to college means anything. I dropped out, worked my way up, now have a Columbia and Yale grad working for me, and my company is begging me to go back to school to earn another step up. They want me to step out of my job but retain salary with college paid for and a contract for only 1 year after graduation.

And sure, this movie is certainly meant to tickle the balls of blue collar dumb types. Its a good movie but not a documentary. Some of its obnoxious as most of these movies are - Dead Poet Society is a great film, but we know there is a certain dumbing down that takes place for dramatic effect. But in work and all things, being able to drop into a conversation informed on the topic and strong in position is way more useful than stuttering social retard with a pedigree. In my expeirence I see incredible things from finance people because they are so methodical an focused, but the more dynamic and broadly intelligent people can hold a conversation with merit.

Yeah, that's a good critique. He is, however, not reluctant to admit the fact that his first phase of bombings were psychologically motivated, rather than ideologically driven, to the point where I've read that he's grateful that his first phase of attacks were largely unsuccessful (for reference, his first phase of attacks targeted civilians who were not involved in the advancement of the techno-industrial system, and he later criticized McVeigh, who he befriended in prison, for attacking "pencil-pushers" and not the politicians/bureaucrats who were actually involved in Waco/Ruby Ridge/etc. decision-making).
He does have skin in the game re: his presentation by the media and his family about not being seen as psychologically stable, so it makes perfect sense that he would downplay that, but he isn't against being seen as a victim of his circumstances, and from what I've researched he seems to have been considered psychologically stable, at the time of his arrest, by psychologists who have been assigned to him post-trial to meet with him in person on a regular basis (during the trial, the psychologists hired to remark about his psychological state by his brother had not met him in person, and based their diagnoses of his mental state on his critiques of society, which is wholly, IMO, unprofessional, being that plenty of "normal" people share his concerns), to the point where he considers his assigned psychologists his friends. I don't mean to dismiss the concerns about the role that the Harvard experiments played on his development, but it's important to be skeptical of sensational journalism that pounces on these popular MKULTRA conspiracies, because it makes for a better story. And there were plenty of people involved with these tests that did not become domestic terrorists, so it seems to jump the gun to claim that the CIA created him, rather than being one of many factors that aggravated an already fragile person into becoming what he became.

Adding to this, because this post reached the character count pretty quickly, that his brother had his own psychological motivation for the media campaign to portray him as unstable, because Ted would have preferred the death sentence over imprisonment, and his brother did not want to have put his brother to death (or rather, did not want to be the reason his brother was executed). So, by presenting him as psychologically unstable in the media, his brother could influence the trial to deem him insane and get him off the death sentence.
