    “People who boast about their I.Q. are losers.”

    ― Stephen Hawking

    Real talk: IQ obsessed people, such as Mensa members, tend to be insufferably awful and narcissistic people. I dated a card-carrying Mensa member for a few months. Never again. She was such a prize that she continually pestered me to act "more sociopathic, like Sherlock!" I didn't.

      I went on a tour of the NASA complex in Houston and in our group it was just me, my sibling, and this family of 7 all wearing Mensa shirts over their regular shirts that said shit like ‘I believe in science’ on it. The entire tour these fucking dweebs kept pestering the guide with asinine questions about Elon Musk and Bezos while the guide was trying to talk about the Gemini program or whatever. The mom also was constantly in a power stance the whole time as she herded her family and tried to explain things after the guide was out of earshot, leading to the tour thing taking longer as we had to wait on these people.

      I did feel bad because there was one son who very clearly wasn’t a loser as he took off his Mensa shirt like halfway through the tour, and the mom picked on him a lot when he was pretty apparently uninterested in all of it.

      “more sociopathic, like Sherlock!”

      Friendly reminder that the first episode of Sherlock involved the Detective Genius nearly doming himself to prove a point to a psychopath.

    IQ is pathetic. I can throw a scientist number 1 in Astrophysics in the middle of a forest and the first fruit he tries to eat toxic and fucking dies or just freezes to death because he can't built a simple shelter. I can take someone who doesn't know what a star is and that mfer will cook me 80 different foods from a single tree.

    High/Low IQ means shit when you don't put it in it's correct context.

      IQ is less reliable for predicting income than the zip code you were born in. Literally the one thing they point to it being useful for and it's still shit

      While simultaneously saying that addicts shouldn’t be given pity since it’s their choice. but also how his doctor got him addicted to be Zoe via magic so it’s not his fault
