The smartest person in the world is arguably the one with the highest IQ on the planet.
Currently that person is 36-year-old Dr. YoungHoon Kim from South Korea who identifies himself on social media as “The World’s Highest IQ Record Holder” with an intelligence quotient of 276.
This intellectual genius confidently proclaimed that “Jesus Christ is God, the way and the truth and the life.”
That post has been viewed more than 14 million times.
He also says belief in the afterlife is consistent with science.
GENIUS DECLARES “CHRIST IS MY LOGIC”
The Christian Post reports that in response to posts reacting favourably to his embrace of Christianity, YoungHoon Kim vowed to “use this opportunity to lead many souls to God.”
He declared “Christ is my logic. One of the best things I have ever done in my life is earning a BA degree in Christian Theology (nondenominational) from Yonsei University,” which is the top ranked private university in Asia.
He referred to theology as “the ultimate discipline of all fields of study.”
Dr. Kim has previously suggested that a belief in the afterlife and a belief in science are not incompatible.
“God exists 100%,” he declared.
“OUR CONSCIOUSNESS CONTINUES BEYOND DEATH”
“I think our consciousness continues beyond death. Our consciousness is not just brain activity, but it is something deeper,” he posted in a video.
“Science says that when the brain stops, then our consciousness disappears. You believe this now, but quantum physics says that information never disappears.”
“Never. It only changes in form.”
“If our consciousness is quantum information, it may continue after the body is gone,” he added.
“For example, like computer data is stored in the cloud, our consciousness may not be trapped in the brain.”
“Quantum entanglement suggests that our consciousness is part of a bigger system beyond the physical world.”
“OUR DEATH IS NOT DESTRUCTION, BUT CHANGE AND SHIFT”
YoungHoon Kim counts himself among scientists and philosophers who “believe that our world may be a simulation created by a higher dimension of being.”
His conclusion after weighing up all available evidence is that: “If reality is part of something bigger, then death is not the end, but it is a transition, a shift to another reality.”
“Science is growing now, and we are learning more about consciousness and reality.”
“Our death is not destruction, but change and shift.”
“Humanity will keep searching for the truth about what comes after.”
YOUNGHOON KIM’S ASTONISHING BIOGRAPHY
Dr. Kim’s record IQ has been verified by Mensa and the Giga Society, the official high IQ society, which details his astonishing biography here.
His IQ is also verified by Official World Record, World Memory Championships and World Memory Sports Council, which are in partnership with Guinness World Records.
He is the founder and board chair of the United Sigma Intelligence Association which is described as a nonprofit for “the world’s brightest minds.”
Evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins, astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson and linguistics professor and analytic philosopher Noam Chomsky are among notable members.
FOUNDER OF THE INTELLECTUAL HALL OF FAME
He also founded the Intellectual Hall of Fame whose prominent inductees include four of the world’s world’s richest men — Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates and Warren Buffett — as well as theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking.
Since last October, YoungHoon Kim has served as founder and CEO of NeuroStory, which has been recognised by the South Korea Ministry of SMEs and Startups as “a one-of-a-kind brain digital healthcare innovator.”
It seeks to provide “cutting-edge solutions to diagnose and manage brain health using deep-tech-based technologies.”
These include artificial intelligence as well as “machine learning, big data, and nanotechnology, along with advanced data analytics and neurotechnologies.”
Dr. Kim is vice-president for strategy at the Lifeboat Foundation — a nonprofit dedicated to the “prevention of global catastrophic risk.”
