Fred,
Just checking if the guestbook is working.
The Prometheus website is getting better all
the time.
Please thank your son for his efforts on our behalf.
I think he deserves honorable mention in GOF.

Congratulations on your Web site. The layout is attractive
and gives, I think, a beautiful advertisement for the
Prometheus Society. I especially enjoyed reading the
article "The Outsiders", finding some identification with
the views expressed therein.

Your web site is simply uotstanding! It paramounts the plethora of triple-nine societies I've visited. It is east to navigate and concise in its presentation. Thankyou for this opportunity to share my thoughts.

Hello Fred, Fred, Robert, et al...

I'll be "reactivating" myself soon. Very nice site. I'll also be updating the links from mine, which are now outdated. Tempus, as you know, fugat, and I get tired of chasing it sometimes. :-)

Quick query- how many of the "genuises" in your little
enclave possess a high school diploma?
I would suggest, in the future, that you allow one of these
gifted academics to spell "gila" for you next time so as to
insure that those tricky four letter words don't trip your
crack team up again. just a thought.

Please send me a copy (more than one is of course always better) of your journal so that I can get an idea of the level of thinking associated with the Prometheus Society. Original(s) would be preferred. My address is: No 8 St Mungo, 40 Victoria Rd, Clifton, South Africa, 8001 On an IQ test with a ceiling of 160, I scored 156; whatever that means.

Some form of response would be appreciated.

Thank you

Richard

for all those people who think they have their place in a society like this one, here is a simple wat of determining
if it really is so. the correct answer to the follwing question should place a person to a group of above 180 IQ.
this is the real test of ones mental abilities.the question:

"WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A CHICKEN?"

i would really like to know if there is anyone here who dares to try answering this!!! u can send your answers to my e-mail address and i will send you the result if you leave your e-mail address.GOOD LUCK!!!

after the "chicken" riddle here is one not so hard:
"WHY IS JOHN DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD?"
not so hard but hard enough.try it.

I was doing some research on individuals of high IQ societies when I came across your website. Well wait a minute, I was doing some research on high IQ societies, and I became interested in the actual members. This particular "elite" society caught my eye! Your website was not intimidating, in fact, I found it to be rather welcoming...you did brag a bit, but hey, if I was a member of the intelligencia I would have no qualms about pride! Anyway, I am only a first-year in college, but I would really appreciate it if I could get a response from a member of Prometheus. Tell me how you feel about the society, how you came to know about the society, what you get from being in the society, and whether or not you ever regreted being in the society. Feel free to ignore me as you are in no way obliged. But you people facinate me, and would like to know more about you! Thanks for your attention.

Well, I must admit that I'm a lowly 98.7 person, however, I do have an avid interest in societies such as yours.
As a teacher of English at a Los Angeles private high school, I have great concern for those students who might
benefit from membership to an organization such as yours. Societies such as these are very important for so many
who might otherwise be left out of many social and educational circles. I would be very interested in any materials
you could provide that I could pass on to one or two of my brighter students. I don't know if they would qualify
but it doesn't hurt to find out.

This non-member is surprised to see such banality from such an apparantly intelligent person. Robert Dick's article on God and free will in your April 1997 magazine was short-sighted and spiritually dead. He seems to believe that if God knows the future, we have no free will, but since we have free will, God doesn't know the future. It's an easy syllogism to prove, yet the premise is faulty. God is omniscient, to be sure, but that doesn't take away from our free will. God lets us do what we want to do, yet at the same time, he knows how it will turn out. God doesn't view the world as one who passively watches a mystery movie, waiting for the outcome. He knows the end, yet respects us enough to let us make our own choices. God wants our loyalty, but that loyalty must be freely chosen. If he took away our free will, he would be defyfing his own will, which he would not do. Richard Dick may be TOPS in the mental department, but in the spiritual department, he might as will join DENSA.

Dear Andrea Burman,

You are correct; foreknowledge does not necessitate predestination. You have a keen mind--but you missed the point. What distinguishes development in the spiritual realm is not the capacity to grasp abstruse conceptual dimidiations, but to show forth tolerance and understanding toward one's fellow creatures.

Robert has not, as far as I am aware, in 20 years of active contributions to our publications, engaged in malicious personal attacks or denigrated another. You have no concept of this man--his love for his family, his devotion to his work and his country. If you had even the slightest inkling of the physical and spiritual tests he has undergone, your heart would surely melt.

Regards to you and your students,

Steve Schuessler

Member, Prometheus Society and Mega Society

I would really love to know the IQs of the following people. Since I can never test them, perhaps getting the opinion of a high IQ society would be the next best thing. If you are a member, please give me yor best guess for the IQs of the following people: Bobby Fisher, Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey, Stephen Hawkings, Hillary Clinton, Maddona, Michael Jackson, Mike Tyson.

Hello. I must admit that it is utterly wonderful to find sites such as these where one can interject his or her thoughts and opinions in an intelligent atmosphere.

I may not be of the same mental caliber as the members of Prometheus, but must admit delight to recently qualifying for Collegium!

Much luck to you and your website. May all such places of intellectual stimulization never be removed from the web, or from mankind.

Hello out there:

When I grew up (in Germany) they did IQ tests with me, they were amazed and then they let me "fall back" into everyday school-life with all it's terror.

Now, having twins (of 3 1/2) who seem to be intelligent and curious, I have once again to find out that there is not much help. Now, it's them having the terror starting (in kindergarden). ("Don't let them read or write because they're anyway always ahead. They are bored and problematic" [So what ? Should I punish/suppress their curiosity ?])

Looking for schools who *want* and *support* gifted kids, I somehow came to your site. Wow ! With all respect, what's the use of all those 'Super-Intelligent' clubs ? Is it to make you feel well (and superior) ? Is it something like teens admiring each others 'fat' motorcycle ("Mine has 12 PS more than yours") ?

Meanwhile, there are thousands of gifted kids out there who 'starve' from frustration, beeing bored or being isolated.
What's the difference between having 10 and having 12 billion US$ ?
What's the difference between having an IQ of 172 or 182 ?
Sure, there is a difference, but is it an important factor ?

So, PLEASE, start to put your IQ-186-brains at work in helping other intelligent people. I mean, the telephone was not invented by a democratic comittee but by a single intelligent person. If everyone of us tries his best to make it easier for other intelligent people *everybody* will gain.

Why the hell are there so many high-IQ clubs and so few schools for gifted kids ? There are whole countries without such schools !!!

Thanks for listening and even more thanks for possibly thinking about it.

Ramon
[member of my family and possibly founder of a new club: The club against waste of intelligence]

BTW: Is it a major activity of your group to read and post those meaningless "Your web-site is great" comments ?
