Big Think(ing) will be involved with the following post.

Big Think seems like an interesting website, and looks as if it is just getting the ball rolling with a slightly underwhelming 10 219 ideas, since January 2008. Perhaps it is a good thing that things are being kept under the general publics eye: it would be difficult to regulate or even distinguish the acceptable from the not-so, in terms of level of intelligence and insight. I highly doubt there is any at all regulations if a question like this slipped through the cracks:

Which, just so happens to be the video I am responding on. Rob gets a cookie for being creative, but not much else. A superpower is something that should be abused in attempts at a hierarchy ruled by those who choose to abuse it, or the people inevitably destined to beat them through their inability to follow this simple list: http://www.zedtoo.demon.co.uk/humour/evil.html . Here is the reasoning Rob gives for his super-duper powers of exponential growth of Facial Hair:
"Like, so if you *censor* up and do something wrong, poof! Full beard. People are, like, oh, where'd that *censor* go? I don't know. He's gone. There's a guy with a beard. It's not him." It is fundamentally flawed in comic-book practicality's sake: it won't help him get anywhere closer to world domination or salvation then Meg's finger-nail thing on that one Family Guy episode I didn't really like. Sure they are cliche, super speed, strength, intelligence: but they are so for a reason. They work. I believe that this answer was intended as a joke. Well, the guy is a comedian. And the question was posted in the comedy section. About that...

If one is heralded as being the "Smart Youtube", why resort to these cheap gags to attract trafficking in the sight? Can't one go to Youtube itself for those kinds of comedy? Maybe it is whimsical, thought-provoking and intelligent comedy that winds up here, but in a website where one seeks an oasis from the populace with "shrinking attention spans", perhaps seclusion would be best for their goals. Do they really want the site to be trafficked by people who are just their for 'lulz', or maybe mess around with varying celebrities? I think that intelligence in the internet constantly can be found in the nooks and crannies of it: the varying blogs and forums, extended discussion and exclusive websites that do partake in intelligent discussion. Bigthink isn't a revolutionary idea or concept, nor does it garner a reputation or following that would be notable. There is a feeling of uncertainty, if there is a possibility of their goals being achieved. For now, I will do what I have been accustomed to: watch and not act. The website itself is interesting: the navigation may be a little shaky, but the content is golden.
