A 35yearold Greek, who is a math
and computer science professor in the University of Lyon, France is
the man with the highest IQ in the world. He is Nikos Ligeros, with an
IQ of 189, the highest ever recorded in the world, a superior
intellect organizations MENSA member.
He was born in Volos, central Greece, but lives in
France, even though he states that he is always in Greece. "All the
elements I am made of are Greek. It doesn't matter where I live. When I am abroad, my friends call me
the "Greek consulate". The Greeks
are not Greeks because they live in Greece. They are Greeks regardless
of where they live", stated in an interview with the Athens newspaper "Ethnos".
He said
that his goal is to create thought,
overturn ideas and heal society. He loves people very much and wants to help them, while he feels
absolutely normal compared to the rest of the people. He does not characterize anybody as "stupid"
because "everyone is somebody
else's fool". On the education system, he points out that each country should create the right
conditions, however, education is a matter of individual initiative.
On his future targets, he maintains that "the
journey is the goal and stresses
that what is important is not where we are going to but the fact that we keep going".
