How to Become More Intelligent: Stick Your Tongue Out

Let's talk about 2 geniuses and 2 disruptors who frequently stick their tongues out. They are Michael Jordan, the physicist Albert Einstein, the singer Miley Cyrus and the basketball player and engineer Jose Romaní. If you want to become really intelligent, like them, you must stick your tongue out.

Geniuses: Michael Jordan, Albert Einstein, Miley Cyrus and Jose Romani

Michael Jordan

What can I say about Michael Jordan that has not already been said? He has been praised in every way, so I will criticize him a little. His lower lip seems to shine all the time, as if he were drooling. Maybe it is a consequence of spending all day with his tongue out. I think he has trouble pronouncing words because he has very thick lips, although he speaks Spanish correctly. He is not the best passer in history either, nor the best rebounder or the best shooter. Nevertheless, he is probably the best defender. If I had to choose something about him, it would be his fearless feline gaze.

Albert Einstein

For me, Albert Einstein was a likeable guy who was obsessed with trains and clocks. From him I would choose his cool hair. In my opinion, his only problem was thinking that the photon has no mass. He also questioned the probabilistic interpretation of quantum mechanics and spent much of his later life pursuing a unified field theory. He accomplished his greatest achievements in physics before turning forty. I think he somehow wasted the rest of his life in that sense.

Miley Cyrus

Erotic Miley Cyrus is not as ugly as Madonna was at her age. From her I would pick her sharp tongue. I love her impudence in front of the cameras too.

Jose Romani

From Jose Romani I would definitely select his brain. Without it I could not do anything. You can watch the following video from Jose Romani's harvest, titled "23's flies, Jazz rhythm", in which Michael Jordan says a few words in Spanish. It contains images of his spectacular jumps. The background music is jazz, MJ's preferred music.

Two related reflections

For another personal take on Jordan's competitive character, read Michael Jordan “Playing at Fifty”: Never Say Never, where I consider whether a new challenge could have tempted him back onto the court.

I return to the question about light raised in the Einstein paragraph in Photon mass, a video presenting my own view of the subject with a touch of humour.
