Cool list. Includes people I didn't know were smart, or allegedly smart.
Comment by: MacGyver Whoever wrote this list is irresponsible. It's a terrible list. If you had left out the actual IQs, you might have had some credibility, but it's pretty obvious that people with IQs of 130 are NOT among the smartest 50 people in the world. That would put me in the list, which is absurd. This "list of smartest people" was obviously compiled by one of the stupidest people in the world.
Comment by: inanity The made at the beginning of the list:
"These are the smartest people in the history of the world according to IQ"
is an outright lie. You have some journalistic responsibility when you publish information like this to at least make some attempt to ensure that what you publish is factual. This list is pure garbage. Get rid of it completely, or do some actual research.
