Okay... What makes a person dumb? For some reason, this has been on my mind for a while now, and I just decided, recently, to check it out and see if someone really knew. Well, I had a few thoughts on this subject, but most of which I doubt are true.

Like... say... Okay. What makes people really smart? A lot of people think that being in smart classes is what differentiates. But yes... we may be smart, but what makes people -really- smart, like Jeremy and Joe? What makes them so damned smart? Is it something genetic? Well... Maybe. I know that Joe's family are all rpetty smart, and I know nothing about Jeremy's, but I wonder. Is it outside, environmental influences, like friends? Chris is wicked smart, and so are Aelig and Handrigan, though both of them are in very different ways.

Is it the amount of effort you put in something that makes you smart? Or... is it simply if you inherently understand concepts? Or maybe it's jsut something in your head that allows you to understand things much better/faster/easier.
That's the age old question: is it nature (what you are born with), or it it nurture (the way you are brought up). Use a real close up example; Me and Seth; same parents, same upbringing. what's the Difference? WHy did he turn out such a cool, defintiely popular in his own circles, kid, though a definite screwup, while I'm the goody-goody, smat, etc, not too popular, but certainly enough so, girl? Why is he such a "bad boy"? Ugh... i wuit. Too much thought for one day.
