I am not as intelligent as you, so are my opinions of less value than yours?

You are not as intelligent as someone else so are your opinions of less value than thiers?

……and so on.

Is the opinion of the most intelligent person in the world the one that is of most value?

Where does that leave us?

Answer:
Intelligence does not neccesarily give someone good critical thinking skills. Many people make comments about how everyone is entitled to their own opinion, which they are.

However, not all opinions are equal and depending on the subject matter and facts at least one person's opinion of an issue is just plain wrong.

Intelligence is just one of the many factors that goes into calculating whether someone's opinion is worth accepting or at least researching.
If someone asks my opinion it must be of some value.
How deep. I wish i was more awake to put more thought into this. I dont think intelligence makes your opinions more worthy than those of other people, however, knowledge will allow you to give a better argument....
why do old men have massive ears?
I guess it just leaves us with a cheesy grin.
i dont think so. you dont have to have a PhD to know if something is right or wrong. i think everyone has a point of view worth listening to.
Intelligence itself is up for debate - stupid and ignorant.
Rarely is the worth of an opinion determined by the person it accompanies, rather the majority of opinions.

However, in a more personal way, how seriously someone takes an opinion is usually caused by the intelligence of the person with the opinion. This isn't so much shallow as it is, "How much did you think this through?"
i think every ones opinion has the same amount of value, because if you just listen to one persons you get know where but where that one person wants to lead to if you listen and take in every ones you can learn from the others take and give and there for come up with the best possible road to go down.
If I gave you my opinion, would you value it more than yours? Are you doing that right now?
All opinions are of value to the person who holds them or they would not hold them. And why not , If opinions matter at all.
Your opinions matter.
Whether they are to your mind more or less important than someone Else's matters not.
There is no man who is the most intelligent in the world.
Even Steven Hawkin would agree on this point and he's a difficult person to get to agree to anything!
So you ask this question, Why?
How are you classifying "Intelligence".
All our thoughts and opinions matter.
Acknowledge that and my friend you will sleep easy each night.
Opinions are just opinions; intelligence doesn't always come into play. As long as all the people giving opinions have the cognitive ability to understand the objective facts of a situation, everyone's subjective opinion is of equal value. (This is not always the case, though; some people may not have the cognitive ability to understand much of anything. For instance, my sister, who works with residentially placed mentally retarded clients - most of whom have NO measurable IQ - always gets in trouble with some MR civil rights place because she doesn't sign them up to vote! I mean, she knows that she would just be voting for them!)
every-ones opinion matters no matter how intelligent they are as far as I'm concerned
It depends how you define intelligence.
I couldn't do brain surgery, but I bet my surgeon couldn't strip and reassemble a rifle in the dark !
It depends on the circumstances, there will be times his skills are needed and times mine will be needed !
Good lord no!
A good answer or perspective is one that differs wildly from your own and makes you think a little.
That's my twopeneth worth anyway.
And anyway, who determines "intelligence"?
No , your opinions are not less a value, in fact each persons own opinion makes up the collective of an intelligent persons intelligence.
They only thrive on it all.
I'm no better than anybody else & there is no one better than me.
You would have to grade ones intelligences, before you could judge ones opinion. Besides ones opinion is valid only if It's
proactive.
It doesnt matter how intelligent you are. An opinion is an opinion no matter who you are. if everyone had the same intelligence all opinions would be the same
I like intelligent people's opinion, but i would appreciate an experienced person's opinion even more.
General knowledge is only a small part of a person's intelligence, so it's quite likely for you to have a meaningful conversation, receive advice from & valuable opinions from someone with "less" intelligence than you.

One of my closest friends is a super intelligent being, but is SOOOOOO dumb sometimes! She has NIL common sense, & it drives me insane. Unless I'm asking her an academic question, I wouldn't consider her opinion to be more valuable than anothers.
An opinion is just that - an opinion. It should not be confused with an answer, an opinion is a statement which is not considered definative - i.e. it is my opinion that the sky is a pale shade of cobalt but in my sisters opinion it is azure, so which of our opinions has the greater value. To add to that, my sister is an artist while I am a carpenter - but I have a friend who agrees with me - so I have numbers on my side, while she has a familiarity with colour! And, if all our IQ's are equal which of our opinions has the greater value - God I love "Answers"
Well, if we shot everyone, it would eliminate this problem.
Your first line was your best and most accurate. Then you went on and ruined it. 0/10.POOR. FAIL!!
Of course not, an opinion is usually based personal experience or the experience of those around us. Intelligence has no bearing on a conclusion someone else may draw about life or anything else.
stop smoking that ****
well bill gates could be give a speech but i dont care. i value whats important to me.
Think always that you are more intelligent because every body has his own ability by birth.
