Q: What is the first thought that comes to your mind when you wake up in the morning?
A: In Douglas Adams' popular comedy book, movie, television, and radio series The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, the Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything is given the numeric solution "42", after seven and a half million years of calculation by a giant supercomputer called Deep Thought.
Q: How does a toddler think, when she cannot produce language herself, but does understand language others speak to her?
A: To contribute to the well-being and spirit of others.

A: To learn as many things as possible in life.
Q: Are smarter people asking the questions or leaving the answers?
A: Principal questions of ontology are "What can be said to exist?", "Into what categories, if any, can we sort existing things?", "What are the meanings of being?", "What are the various modes of being of entities?". Various philosophers have provided different answers to these questions.
Q: How can you tell whether someone is smarter than you?
A: Science may or may not be able to tell us what is of essential value in life (and various materialist philosophies such as dialectical materialism challenge the very idea of an absolute value or meaning of life), but some studies definitely bear on aspects of the question: researchers in positive psychology (and, earlier and less rigorously, in humanistic psychology) study factors that lead to life satisfaction, full engagement in activities, making a fuller contribution by utilizing one's personal strengths, and meaning based on investing in something larger than the self.
Q: How does one determine the level of intelligence of a person based solely on conversation?
A: A person can be said to love an object, principle, or goal if they value it greatly and are deeply committed to it.
Q: Did you come to think that you're smarter than your parents? When? What triggered your discovery? How did you cope?
A: Although we like to think that our memory operates like recording equipment, that is not actually the case.
Q: What is the single most unfair advantage a person can have?
A: In Groundwork, Kant gives the example of a person who seeks to borrow money without intending to pay it back.
Q: What are the most common tricks used by dumb people to seem smart?
A: Lust is the feeling of sexual desire; romantic attraction determines what partners mates find attractive and pursue, conserving time and energy by choosing; and attachment involves sharing a home, parental duties, mutual defense, and in humans involves feelings of safety and security. The most fundamental and basic four layers of the pyramid contain what Maslow called "deficiency needs" or "d-needs": esteem, friendship and love, security, and physical needs.
Q: Why are people with higher IQ generally not very physically attractive?
A: Particular goals for life are generally subsumed under broader yogas (practices) or dharma (correct living) which are intended to create more favorable reincarnations, though they are generally positive acts in this life as well.
Q: What is it like to always be the smartest person in the room?
A: Although eros is initially felt for a person, with contemplation it becomes an appreciation of the beauty within that person, or even becomes appreciation of beauty itself.
Q: How do you know if you're intelligent?

Q: How can I spend my free time in an intellectually productive way?
A: The Free Love movement’s initial goal was to separate the state from sexual matters such as marriage, birth control, and adultery.
Q: How do you become a fast learner?

Q: Why do some very smart people suck at programming?
A: However, this does not explain why older adults still need REM sleep.
Q: What is the single wisest thing you've heard or read that you fully and completely follow in your personal life?
A: In seeking meaning to life, the existentialist looks to where people find meaning in life, in course of which using only reason as a source of meaning is insufficient; this gives rise to the emotions of anxiety and dread, felt in considering one's free will, and the concomitant awareness of death.
Q: If you could only ask one question to determine the IQ (g) of a person, what would it be?
A: But in a question, as to whether this, or that, is the ultimate Good, there is no evidence, either way; each disputant can only appeal to his own emotions, and employ such rhetorical devices as shall rouse similar emotions in others ... Questions as to "values" — that is to say, as to what is good or bad on its own account, independently of its effects — lie outside the domain of science, as the defenders of religion emphatically assert.
Q: In their 135 million years of existence, how come the dinosaurs didn't develop language, tools, advanced intelligence, and civilization, which humans were able to do in a few hundred thousand years of existence?
A: Questions about the meaning of life have also seen radical changes, from attempts to reevaluate human existence in biological and scientific terms (as in pragmatism and logical positivism) to efforts to meta-theorize about meaning-making as a personal, individual-driven activity (existentialism, secular humanism).
Q: What is the relationship between wisdom and experience?
A: Even if such effects of physical activity can be discounted for explaining the relationship between siesta and cardiovascular health, it is still unknown whether it is the daytime nap itself, a supine posture or the expectancy of a nap that is the most important factor.
Q: How do I get over the fact that I'm not "inherently intelligent"?
A: This entails that we maintain information over periods of time.
Q: Is having a pet like having a friend with very low intelligence?

Q: What are some stupid things that smart people do?
A: To learn as many things as possible in life.
Q: What are some really dumb beliefs held by exceptionally smart people?
A: The Greeks shared their beliefs with the Egyptians on how to interpret good and bad dreams, and the idea of incubating dreams.
Q: Why is English so widely used despite being such a mess?
A: It is based on the premises that the happiness of the individual person is inextricably linked to the well-being of all humanity, in part because humans are social animals who find meaning in personal relations and because cultural progress benefits everybody living in the culture.
Q: Is intelligence expected to consistently grow in an evolutionary landscape?
A: The term "neural network" usually refers to models employed in statistics, cognitive psychology and artificial intelligence.
Q: How did intelligence among human heings and animals develop in the course of the process of evolution?
A: Human knowledge comes from human observation, experimentation, and rational analysis (the scientific method), and not from supernatural sources; the nature of the universe is what people discern it to be.
Q: What are some ways to break our ego?
A: Self-Awareness Theory states that when we focus our attention on ourselves, we evaluate and compare our current behavior to our internal standards and values.
Q: In five minutes, could you explain something to me that is complicated but you know well?
A: Because mankind is driven by both positive and negative influences, Confucianists see a goal in achieving virtue through strong relationships and reasoning as well as minimizing the negative. The content and purpose of dreams are not definitively understood, though they have been a topic of scientific speculation, as well as a subject of philosophical and religious interest, throughout recorded history.
Q: What are some good ways to annoy extremely logical people?
A: Because of the complex and abstract nature of love, discourse on love is commonly reduced to a thought-terminating cliché, and there are a number of common proverbs regarding love, from Virgil's "Love conquers all" to The Beatles' "All You Need Is Love". St. Thomas Aquinas, following Aristotle, defines love as "to will the good of another."Bertrand Russell describes love as a condition of "absolute value," as opposed to relative value. Philosopher Gottfried Leibniz said that love is "to be delighted by the happiness of another."
Q: What are the most fascinating things researchers and scientists are working on?
A: To learn as many things as possible in life.
Q: Why do certain people derive pleasure from doing cruel things to their fellow human beings?
A: The purpose of human life especially is to think beyond the animalistic way of eating, sleeping, mating and defending and engage the higher intelligence to revive the lost relationship with Krishna.
Q: We really an evolved (from nothing to singe cell to multi-cell organism to monkeys to human beings) being?
A: The fundamental principles of Mahayana doctrine are based on the possibility of universal liberation from suffering for all beings, and the existence of the transcendent Buddha-nature, which is the eternal Buddha essence present, but hidden and unrecognised, in all living beings.
Q: How do I get over my bad habit of procrastinating?
A: Freud suggested that bad dreams let the brain learn to gain control over emotions resulting from distressing experiences.

Q: Does God exist?
A: In the Westminster Shorter Catechism, the first question is: "What is the chief end of Man?", that is, "What is Man's main purpose?". The answer is: "Man's chief end is to glorify God, and enjoy him forever". God requires one to obey the revealed moral law saying: "love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbour as yourself". The Baltimore Catechism answers the question "Why did God make you?" by saying "God made me to know Him, to love Him, and to serve Him in this world, and to be happy with Him forever in heaven."
Q: Is there Absolute Truth?
A: Pragmatism, originated in the late-19th-century U.S., to concern itself (mostly) with truth, positing that "only in struggling with the environment" do data, and derived theories, have meaning, and that consequences, like utility and practicality, are also components of truth.
Q: What is the most important thing ever?
A: Broadly speaking, it considers individual liberty to be the most important goal, because only through ensured liberty are the other inherent rights protected.
Q: Who might you find in the lowest circles of hell?
A: For example, people might go to sleep far sooner after the sun sets, but then wake up several times throughout the night, punctuating their sleep with periods of wakefulness, perhaps lasting several hours.
Q: What are some of mankind's stupidest concepts?
A: The last stage is the formal operational, in which preadolescents and adolescents begin to understand abstract concepts and to develop the ability to create arguments and counter arguments.
Q: What is reality?
A: Hence, there can be neither void nor vacuum; and true reality can neither come into being nor vanish from existence.
Q: What are some of the big questions that humanity has yet to answer?
A: This also means providing context for, and understanding of life itself through explorations of the Big Bang, the origin of life, and evolution.
