I saw Ben Carson speak once on education about a year before his presidential run. He told a story about how his mom would make them do "Book reports" on the books she made them read. It wasn't until later that Carson found out his mom couldn't even read, despite "grading" their book reports.

My grandma used to do this to my father and my uncles when it came to homework. Sometimes she would sit by them and make it seem like she was observing their work. Other times she would act like she was checking over their homework.

My father is now a professor in ecology. He is a first-gen college grad and PhD holder. He was also probably the first person in my extended family to do a PhD in the U.S.

    This guy's history was required learning in middle school in Maryland (he went to Hopkins for his MD I believe). My brother became a neurosurgeon in part because of him...

    Carson went to Yale for his undergrad and the University of Michigan Medical School for his MD. Then he went on to complete his residency and career at Johns Hopkins.

    He actually went to Yale and University of Michigan. His importance to Maryland was as Hopkins' head of pediatric neurosurgery.

    His political stint has made people forget how incredible his life is. He is arguably the greatest brain surgeon of all time, and based on his upbringing, had absolutely no birthright to be. A shining example of what you can achieve if you put your mind to it.

    [–]BaileysButtercream 44ポイント45ポイント  (19子コメント)

    His colleagues and many patients would highly disagree with the "greatest of all time."

    I was once his patient (before he was famous) and chose another much more competent surgeon at Hopkins.

    He brought back hemispherectomy into epileptic children by showing how effective neuroplasticity is. In layman's terms, he developed a surgery in which a portion of the brain can be removed, because the brains of children are highly adaptable and can retain what was removed.

    Is that genius? Sure, I'd say so. But does that make him the greatest and most competent surgeon in history? Eh... that's very subjective.

    [–]Cyathem 22ポイント23ポイント  (4子コメント)

    He was the director of pediatric neurosurgery there for 30 years. If there was a more competent surgeon there, don't you think that Johns Hopkins, one of the most highly regarded hospitals in the world, would have caught on and replaced him at any point in those 30 years? You are unapologetically full of shit.

    [–]quinoa515 35ポイント36ポイント  (3子コメント)

    Being the director does not mean he is the most competent surgeon. It is a management role. Being the most competent surgeon in Hopkins not a requirement.

    The president of the united states is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, but having served in the military, or even knowing anything about the military, is not a requirement for the position.

    A friend's husband got a professorship at Harvard a few years ago. Part of the deal was that as low guy on the totem pole, he had to be the director of the program. Now that he's been there a few years and is the So-and-so Professor of Subject Area, he doesn't have to be Director any more.

    Yeah I'm sick of idiots on reddit trying to judge someone's intelligence based on their political views, or public speaking skills. Ben Carson is an amazing neurosurgeon, probably the best, and is blessed by God. If people don't know this they need to research the breakthroughs he's done. This man will not be forgotten in the medical world. He literally changed the game.

    [–]tomdarch -1ポイント0ポイント  (1子コメント)

    He still said he thought that the 99% solid rock pyramids were built "by the Jews" to store grain. That isn't political per se, that just sounds 1) crazy or 2) ignorant to a degree that raises the question of one's basic intelligence in that they couldn't piece together from readily available information (to university educated people) that it's an absurd suggestion.

    It's reasonable for sane people to hear someone say something so crazy/stupid and question how that person could possibly have the intellect to be exceptional in a field populated by genuinely intelligent people.

          Right... and the dude seemed so vacuous during the campaign that I found myself wondering how someone so stupid could make it through undergrad, let alone medical school and training to be a brain surgeon.

          Maybe he used to be sharp...

          [–]Ol0O01100lO1O1O1 39ポイント40ポイント  (4子コメント)

          He certainly didn't come across sharply during the campaign. I still won't try and judge his intelligence, though. Years ago I had the opportunity to see Oliver Sacks speak; a brilliant neurologist and bestselling author (Awakenings, the film Robin Williams and De Niro starred in, among others). He was, quite frankly, horrible in person. He wasn't a good public speaker, he wasn't good at getting ideas across in person, honestly he came across as a little challenged. But he was undeniably brilliant.

          So I won't attack Carson's intelligence and will give him the benefit of the doubt... but being able to communicate well certainly is a critical skill for a President, so I will hold it against him nonetheless.

          [–]LeQuint_Dickey 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

          Yup. There are plenty of truly brilliant people who just aren't very good public speakers. It's something of a cultural/historical quirk that we've come to associate intelligence and public speaking so closely.

              It wasn't so much his wacky religious beliefs as his tenuous grasp of reality that got me. Where did he learn that the Egyptian pyramids were used to store grain? Certainly not in those 2 books per week he was reading.

              To your point, that ignorance doesn't affect his ability to be a brain surgeon per se, but it does suggest that he lacks somewhat in common sense and general education. It's very strange because you would think that a doctor would have a stronger grasp on those types of concepts. (See: Jill Stein and her woefully misinformed stance on nuclear power.)

                As I have gotten older, I have started to realize that "smart" is completely relative.

                I have worked with carpenters and physicians . Of course the physicians knew more about medicine and the carpenters knew more about framing a house. However, in both camps there were people who could take what they know and creatively apply it in application to the present problems. Pooling resources and running multiple scenarios in their minds until they reached a logical conclusion. These people were also the most humble, polite, and nicest guys/girls I have ever met.

                Except for cardiovascular surgeons. Screw those guys.

He believes some literally insane things based on being a 7th day Adventist and would not fair well in the political scene as we all know. I label people like his as "learners, not thinkers" because his ability to learn material is astounding but his ability to put that into proper context or understand practicality is....limited. But good on him for realizing his strengths and maxing out the benefit by becoming a doctor against all odds. Impressive in its own right.

                  What saddens me is Ben Carson has a truly great life story. But made so many terrible lies about stabbing people and being a terrible student in class until he saw god.

                  It would of made him a far greater role model for the black community if he simply told the truth.

                  An inspiring story about being very, very, good at one thing and not so much at other things. Find your good thing.

                  Oh I'm not disrespecting his career as a surgeon. I'm just saying the freshess thing in my memory is his views during the political debate. I mean the man endorsed trump. I know I should be a positive thinker and focus on his surgery but I'm being human.

                  I knew you bigot assholes would downplay Dr Carson's intelligence because of his religious beliefs or politics.

                  [–]heavyfrog2 28ポイント29ポイント  (2子コメント)

                  No. We don't downplay his intelligence. We acknowledge the fact that sometimes intelligent people believe stupid claims.

                  So we should ignore his ignorant, evil, and stupid opinions because he's black and a physician? Fuck right off.

                  Someone that doesn't believe in evolution shouldn't be a U.S president, period.

                  Are you saying that the US should ban Muslims from running for president, or just Christians?

                  [–]charleydaawesome -2ポイント-1ポイント  (3子コメント)

                  I mean most of us dont really care. Muslim, christian, Jewish, none of it is any more real than the other religions to an athiest. Alot of us dont care what other people believe as long as it doesnt affect us. Being a black christian brain surgeon is awesome. Being a black christian brain surgeon with ignorant views is not.

                  Not believing in evolution is an evil opinion?

                  It's not evil, but it definitely shows that you're either uneducated in science or willfully ignorant. Both of which are dangerous as a president.

                  Well Trump thinks it is a conspiracy by the Chinese to keep the bible competitive.

                  No it shows a lack in critical thinking

                  [–]DropHawk 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

                  Did I say that specifically?

                  It's not evil but it is incredibly stupid. Evolution has provided the root foundation of modern medicine. How can a physician understand genetic susceptibilities to disease, antibiotic-resistance patterns of microbial pathogens, or host-drug interactions? The fields of virology, bacteriology, and immunology, and other medically-correlated fields entirely disintegrate without evolution. How can someone defend a doctor that ignores several hundred years of empirical evidence in favor of dogmatic religious views entirely contrary to his own field?

                  Yes. I will argue that it is evil insofar as it is asserting a large portion of reality doesn't exist. The only reason for an actor to take such a stance is to be antagonistic against others. There is no positive actions that requires that.

                  Think of plausible deniability, that deliberate choice to not know means you are hoping to affect another actors symmetry.

                  In this case the only reason to deny evolution is if you intend to use the concept of existence as a weapon against others.

                  The ends may be positive, you can achieve "ethical" endings with "evil" methods, but that does not mean the actions cannot be judged on their own.

                    People only downplay his intelligence in certain areas. No one is disputing whether he's intelligent enough to do brain surgery.

                    Just goes to show that you can be educated and insane at the same time.

                    Haha, so many people in this thread acting like they are smarter than a brain surgeon because they don't agree with his faith. Do you have any idea how incredibly hard it is to do what he did? People claim that he just regurgitates knowledge? Have you read about all the techniques he figured out?

                    No no, you've got the whole world figured out. If you wanted to, you'd be an industry leader in some field, you just don't care enough about your job. You really get science though. It explains everything for you. You have that faith to fall back on, even though you really don't understand science any more than religion.

                    Look, if you can't respect Ben Carson because of his beliefs, your mind works the same way as a wacko religious nut, or crazy racist. You paint people by your beliefs, not theirs. That's closed minded.

                    I don't have the same beliefs as Carson, but I respect the hell out of what he's done with his life.

                    I might not agree with him politically. But putting all that aside, I really admire the fact that he got to where he is when all odds were against younger him compared to many of us.

                    Good think he's a brain surgeon rather than an ophthalmologist because he's really chiselled the grey matter to get to where he is , but damn if he isn't a myopic fella.

                    Still, kudos to the guy because he's helped people with his life which is more than a lot of people can say .

                    Hummus terrorizes my bowels. He isn't that far off.

                    Anyone imagine Carson taking a loud and violent shit like, "I CAN FEEL THE GARLIC!"?
