Does prog make you smart?

I listen to some rap, as well as punk, death metal, and other genres you guys are citing as making people stupid, and I would like to think of myself as maybe being remotely intelligent (although I'm more than open to having my thoughts changed on this matter).

I never bite the hand that feeds me.......

Her reply to that was "#@%#%^"......

 

Winning friends and influencing people again, Gdub? 

 

ive heard some smart rap.
Dr. Octagon

here is one song

Dr. Octagon Biology 101 lyrics

Yeah

At 40,000 kelvin, it's Dr. Octagon,
with the Emperor General
drop down to 40 g's
can science achieve the unified theory of complex
systems
permenantly skeptical of friends of the institute
external faculty, a routine exerts selected pressure by
killing less-fit programs
life evolves, in cyber space
green and blue objects of self-replicating lightning
represents
random mutation complete with chaotic systems
such as turbular fluids
heated gasses are formless
fully complex, amino entree disappear the order in
which you
ordered the poetry the torsist liquid terms compiled
among a list of
31 ways to define
grammatical the degree of universiality in a
language required to
describe a style
effective the degree of regular rather than random
information
for instance complexity equals the capacity of an un
expecting
observer
thermo dynamic deaf of the amount of resource to
put back a system
together from scratch
pioneering, engineering, cybernetic, cellular,
calculus
co-operating flatly contradicting predictable
circumstances including
uranium 235 is obtained from bombs fission
can science achieve a unified theory of complex
systems?
maybe so
can science achieve a unified theory of complex
systems?
maybe so
can science achieve a unified theory of complex

like carbon dioxide you messing with the chemicals,
warfare different stars
in the atmospheres like haley's comet computers
that will make you vomit
change the earth south saliva run in your mouth
gastric juice more beyond
since mother goose created shapes the first man
was hairy apes
7, 35 PPTD
over powering spray crops like DDT
the first around apollo 13 beaming down through
rain drops white pieces hit
the scene
atomic formats complex playin on silver DATs
guarded by sonic steel and taken off by thundercats
you on the avenue wishin you could see me my force
field shuts in two eyes
seein three of me
illusions fusions particle gas confusions i run space
shuttles in EM you
the solution
takin off from boe meet me at the black hole in times
four your mind seems
to move in tider showin you the spectrums
the past in fabric liner you in my future now

psychology is not applied biology nor is biology
applied chemistry
level independant some degrade the levels above
and below captive
intricancies after their friends give interest
theories collapse, perhaps concepts cannot explain
irreversible concrete
philosophical developments
such analysis indicate
emergence naturally, in a simple society
the pale matrix summerizes the scorming affluent
software 30 arc seconds
strategy like drops of water floating in a void unstable
atoms orbit this
new cloud nuclear having excess neutrinos or
protons teeter on the edges of
nuclear stability nor and drip lines under the stress
some develop a halo
bale radioactivity isotopes exotic
depending on their velocity their charges narrow
momentum distribution

neutrinos much less to predict the standards can be
designed if you end it
and it provide for continuing evolution of technology
by remaining

delta 9 approximate time my face in venus the sun is
over there and nothing
gets between us
you the earthling trying to float its a mental thing i got
oxygen 8 hours
of space time you must return quick
please don't waste time
you get down here, the moon is a place to fear with 2
minutes on the planet
you're only bound to panic we have no extras, bags,
etcetera
what if your obstacles backfires you inflate in
seconds nervous like flat
tires one seconds left to orbit has last breath
telecast to earth a astronaut didn't make it we move
beyond
your navigation enable a 32 switching like channel
13
late at night you see a blank screen focus on the
outer limits but you're
back on stage
on the line of scrimmage i am out here come and
get me with no equipment
call the president not even rocks or fossils live
damaged by the elements
is light the source?

When a group of scientists studied these rats and one of them began to laugh on what the Rats were doing the other scientist began to laugh too, for they wouldn't want to be the one left holding the joke. Anyway scientific tests can prove anything you want them to prove.

Yes,even the truth...

The rap you guys talk of is pop music that has "urban" flare. There is true hip-hop out there that's educational, positive, deep, and immensly talented.

That's the big question. Please read the intro to the thread before asking your "clever" question.

I never meant to be more clever than I am. Just didn't bother to read all that. I should have.

Friendliness of this board keeps surprising me.

No but Gdub can recommend something that does!
