Scott Douglas Jacobsen: That is dangerous. That is very dangerous to the public when you have individuals claiming these.
Rick Rosner: The public doesn’t give a crap about those extra points. We’re not electing them.
Jacobsen: I mean in another sense. You have an unusual honesty. Others don’t, and they use it as a supplement to their own self-promotion and is misleading to the public.
Rosner: It is only dangerous if, alright. It is frustrating to me to see people who haven’t scored as well on IQ tests as me, perhaps, being hailed as America’s or the world’s smartest. At the same time, it’s a system that I — a dumb system that I — have invested myself in, a weird system.
There have to be really strong guy who are pissed when they see who is supposedly the smartest man in the world, say there is a really strong guy, but he is just bad at lifting boulders and boulders is one of the things that tested. Boulder lifting is one of the things in this year’s strongest man competition or maybe he is bad at tumbling 8-foot truck tires end over end down a course.
Or dragging a semi with whatever it is, some guy maybe his strongest thing is being able to deadlift a bowl.
