Take this test 3 years later

121. She told me it was an abbreviated test but this length and the longer one usually produce the same score so it was good enough for their study purposes.

Doesn't mean they care.

took iq test once

it was 154 and i didnt even use my full power

im like 120 these days

Should be 135+, I think IQ claims of 130-135 are in the fringes of plausible deniability but beyond that is just far too unlikely from a basement dwelling NEET. Again the normal distribution is nonlinear, not to mention that the normal distribution is known to be poor at modeling the extreme tail ends of the population. It's speculated that the tail ends follow something akin to a fractal distribution which would imply the genius level IQs are even more rare than the percentiles suggest.

why would someone with 20% more powerful brain be on r9k shouldnt u be doing advanced mathematics and physics

im lazy and shitposting is more fun

t.133 iq irl mensa retard

Plus why would someone with 20% more powerful brain be on r9k

It's not 20% mate. 1 SD is a threshold of pain for most people (i.e. free conversation becomes a pain, working together becomes a pain, forming a relationship becomes a royal PITA etc.), 2 SDs (both ways) is basically the feeling that the other person is severely retarded, because you don't understand them at all. I'm at about 3 SDs from the middle, it's not "+20% of brain power", it's about 0.1% of population counted at the base of processing capabilities. Then you have the practice and experience on top of that.
Basically, each 1 SD is an order of magnitude, count it as 10x when it comes to mental tasks, even if sometimes that's an understatement.
If in doubt, ask yourself "how many people with Down's Syndrome do you need to solve a first-order, first-degree ODE"? :D

shouldnt u be doing advanced mathematics and physics

who says we ain't? I got masters and am a PhD dropout in tl;dr physics, but, as anything, it gets boring after a while. Now doing farming, forestry, house renovation and remote IT job... and still haven't done rebar concrete, haven't chopped anything with circumference above 1m, still haven't got my first potatoes. Life is short and there's a lot to learn :D

There was a 7 year old in my advanced calculus I course

I believed up until you got to here. A 7 yr old taking college classes wouldve been world wide celebrity by now.

was part of GATE as a child etc

And schizo babble about latent psychic shit.

All of this IQ bragging is just meaningless dick measuring anyways like if your IQ is 115 like you claim its the equivalent of calling yourself a manlet at a height of 6'2 or so. Wow...much cool.

being 6'2 puts you at 95th percentile while 115 iq is in 85th percentile. The 6'2 equivalent of iq is being 125.

ur in top 10% of world anon so why are you on r9k? cant you lime smart your way out of inceldom.

so how much more rarer is it for someone to have a 130 iq to 115 iq? like would it mean its exponential?

this whole reply is full of shit, i love it

why would someone with 20% more powerful brain be on r9k shouldnt u be doing advanced mathematics and physics

You truly are a midwit because this is a midwit's concept of what intelligent people do, you probably think we're all mongolian jew hybrids who play chess and discuss philosophy in our free time as well, what a dumbass stereotype, intelligent people are still human if anything we're lazier because we don't fall for the same productivity psyops that's why we end up squandering our talents and floundering in some dead-end job where we don't have to interact with the general populace too much which would just be an abject waste of mental resources better spent on idle fantasizing, also this test is terrible and doesn't give you an accurate measure of your IQ, there are no shortcuts go take a real test brainlet

good point anon, still it begs the question what a "genius level IQ" means. At the edges, a single number is the most retarded measure possible. Intelligence is not an axis, it's a space, and the result is not a number, but survival.

I was in a gifted kids program in elementary school that I had to test into and you need a minimum IQ level to do so, I forget my exact score though what would you say my minimum IQ would have to be to get into a gifted program?

harsh, but mostly true. I originally learned the word "midwit" years ago from a literal midwit... oh the irony :D

that said...

we're all mongolian jew hybrids who play chess and discuss philosophy in our free time as well, what a dumbass stereotype

some of us are, though I'm not sure how Mongolian am I :wink wink:

gifted kids

FFS, recall this:
Q: how to ruin a kid's life?
A: call them "gifted"
EOT

Yes I remember that meme I would like an actual answer though

Basically, each 1 SD is an order of magnitude, count it as 10x when it comes to mental tasks, even if sometimes that's an understatement.

If in doubt, ask yourself "how many people with Down's Syndrome do you need to solve a first-order, first-degree ODE"? :D

first order equations tend to be easy once you know the method its merely following rules well enough.

who says we ain't? I got masters and am a PhD dropout in tl;dr physics, but, as anything, it gets boring after a while. Now doing farming, forestry, house renovation and remote IT job... and still haven't done rebar concrete, haven't chopped anything with circumference above 1m, still haven't got my first potatoes. Life is short and there's a lot to learn :D

so youd rather not spend rest of your life in a lab.

intelligent people are still human if anything we're lazier because we don't fall for the same productivity psyops that's why we end up squandering our talents and floundering in some dead-end job where we don't have to interact with the general populace too much which would just be an abject waste of mental resources better spent on idle fantasizing, also this test is terrible and doesn't give you an accurate measure of your IQ, there are no shortcuts go take a real test brainlet

this sounds like a cope cause your actual potential doesnt match up who yoi are. You could be rich, write a book, draw art, research a niche topic and become an expert in it but you waste your time being a slave to short term desires. At end of day your comment comes off like your trying to compensate for how much a loser you are. You have all that brain power and would waste it on browsing r9k rather than reading textbook on condensed matter physics or philosophy.
so what are 4 dimensions to IQ

yoi

Negging summarily dismissed

an actual answer is that they need parents dumb enough to not explain the concept to the kid beforehand so that the kids does whatever possible to _not_ score as "gifted", understanding the implications it will carry throughout their life.

I'm sorry that this is not the answer you expected, but, funnily enough, intelligence is also about being able to do lateral thinking. I think you might be mistaking "autism" with "intelligence" here :D

You could be rich, write a book, draw art, research a niche topic and become an expert

Low IQ programming tells you these are desirable goals

I believed up until you got to here. A 7 yr old taking college classes wouldve been world wide celebrity by now.

I know it sounds absurd but it's the honest truth. Me and all my friends thought that it was unbelievable as well but that kid was fucking legit. Prodigies like that aren't as uncommon in the realm of pure mathematics and if you look into the background of international math olympiad winners and putnam finalists then it's not all that uncommon. The kid wasn't formally enrolled but he audited every single lecture and participated in every assignment, quiz and exam. Mind you this was an ADVANCED proof based calculus I course for the top 10% of the faculty already familiar with most of calculus I and was actually more on par with a difficult 3rd year course. The kid was clearly groomed by his mom who think was also an Ph.D or mathematician but spoke with the kid a bunch of times to test him and whilst his intuition wasn't perfect...it was still fucking weird to see a kid comprehend things uniform convergence and the construction of the real numbers using cauchy convergent sequences of rational numbers.

Wanna know the creepiest fucking part? As I said the kid audited every lecture...but I never once saw it taking any notes.

so how much more rarer is it for someone to have a 130 iq to 115 iq? like would it mean its exponential?

I'll leave the details for a intro probability textbook but basically being in 130-135 is MUCH MUCH MUCH rarer than 125-130.

It appears summer came early this year

this sounds like a cope cause your actual potential doesnt match up who yoi are

It does until you realize that IQ is not the same as wisdom. Some people use their intelligence in REALLY inefficient ways. It calls into question how useful iq tests truly are

ur in top 10% of world anon so why are you on r9k? cant you lime smart your way out of inceldom.

I'm 33 years old and have never had a girlfriend. I almost had sex once but the random chance that led to it never happened again so I have no idea what to do. No, I can't smart my way out of this. My life is over.

I agree, IQ is a poor measure of human intelligence. Aggregating something so complex and multidimensional as human intelligence into a single real number is a gross oversimplification. Not to mention so called "crystalized intelligence" is still intelligence and I would argue far more important than IQ/"fluid intelligence" which I think is better described as "genetic potential intelligence".

If you have enough brainpower you don't have to worry about peasant concerns like "efficiency"

first order equations tend to be easy once you know the method its merely following rules well enough.

that was not the question, and it's a non-sequitur here. Also, you're doing a strawman here by implying the question claimed particular difficulty in solving an ODE where it wasn't. Shouldn't you be intelligent enough not to do that? xD

so youd rather not spend rest of your life in a lab.

Why would I? I don't really get why anyone, regardless of intelligence level, would, having free and unburdened choice of a lifestyle.

this sounds like a cope cause your actual potential doesnt match up who yoi are. You could be rich, write a book, draw art, research a niche topic and become an expert in it but you waste your time being a slave to short term desires. At end of day your comment comes off like your trying to compensate for how much a loser you are. You have all that brain power and would waste it on browsing r9k rather than reading textbook on condensed matter physics or philosophy.

read Tao, mate, maybe one day you'll understand there's nothing inherently wrong with wasting time on anything :)

so what are 4 dimensions to IQ

who said there are only 4? Gardner said 8 more or less. Thurstone said 7. Then you have Guilford and others. You can count as many as you want, mate, but it's still extremely naive to believe in a single-dimensional IQ digit when in 2025 and knowing all about the brain we now know. Plain ol' Binet's IQ was devised AFAIR to sieve factory workers and soldiers, it's relatively good for that and online bragging, and basically for nothing more I'd say :)

replies with 1 statement to a structured discussion attempt

misuses a 4ch meme

ALL BOW BEFORE THE EDGELORD
YOU'RE SURELY A DODECAHEDRON WILL ALL THOSE EDGES, MATE

All jokes aside, cases like Chris Langan really make me doubt the usefulness of IQ tests. That guy hasn't accomplished anything in his life besides working as a bouncer and concocting some idealistic horse shit based on type theory.

If you want to know what misused brainpower looks like this comment is the quintessential example

You sound slow, this thread isn't for you

basically this, /thread .

NTA but in my country it was the top 5% and at 125 IQ I think I made it exactly. Keep in mind most kids never recieved a test though, so realistically the kids there where probably more akin to intelligence in the 10-15% percentile, at least that's judging from my experience.

edgelord strikes again.

God, either you're the smartest person on Anon Babble now, or the dumbest.

The odds are against you, anon, you're not even good at offending people ;D

People seem to fundamentally misunderstand the appeal of IQ, it's about the potential for accomplishment, the accomplishment itself isn't nearly as important, people are fascinated with IQ because it provides an option, there isn't necessarily an inherent duty to use said option especially in accordance with the whims of any passing observer, honestly shitposting to a high IQ person is likely the best use of IQ, it isn't concerned with anything except the fulfillment of the user whereas all of these other wild claims come from some societal expectation to contribute to the retarded masses in some way

a typo

maybe your mentally ill and dont like fact that im pointing out your insecurities.
so high iq programming is being on r9k full of race bait and sissy threads? If that is case plz sign me up for this low iq programming

Wanna know the creepiest fucking part? As I said the kid audited every lecture...but I never once saw it taking any notes.

yeah smartest people i knew rarely took notes from my perspective. And from a pov it is probably smart since writing and listening simultaneously might actually drain your mental capacity since your multitasking. Its probably much more smarter to read chapter/notes prior to class and to take notes there and then to listen on in class to cement concept.

if you guys have time try reading through the r/gifted subreddit

reddit.com/r/Gifted/comments/zfsevj/my_11_yr_old_is_starting_college_this_coming/

its full of parents trying to make their kids smart or showing their kids off as if their prize animals lol.

How are you suppose to get wisdom? via experience? or is it genetic like IQ

why not groom a 18 yr old college girl using your brain power im sure you can mentally dominate her.
but isnt it better to measure potential then latent skill? Sort of hard to be fait if test is dependent on how well you studied or if you went to college.

that was not the question, and it's a non-sequitur here. Also, you're doing a strawman here by implying the question claimed particular difficulty in solving an ODE where it wasn't. Shouldn't you be intelligent enough not to do that? xD

My point is that being able to do math problems where your suppose to follow cook book like method shouldnt be seen as a marker of intelligence. Like you said maybe im not intelligent but I was able to cram for most of my differential equation classes without actually studying.

i think you don't really need a number to know if someone is a genius or not. their actions are enough proof

not good at offending people

says the guy with the autistic emoji signature usage who's actively butthurt at the guy he's claiming isn't good at being provocative

You guys make this too easy

why not groom a 18 yr old college girl using your brain power im sure you can mentally dominate her.

Why would she pick me over the endless supply of Chads on campus who would actually be allowed into her dorm building? And before you say it, please consult the following anecdote from last weekend. I was walking back to the train to go home to my suburban hovel from a music festival on a college campus and a girl's voice behind me asked "is that a hydrobag" because I did in fact wear one so I wouldn't have to keep going back and forth buying $5 Liquid Deaths. I turned around once I realized she was talking to me and she just kind of kept walking once she saw my face.

there isn't necessarily an inherent duty to use said option especially in accordance with the whims of any passing observer

Yeah, this is why the OP shouldn't worry about being a "midwit". Society needs hard working, persistent, and imaginative people who will actually contribute to the world around them.

yeah smartest people i knew rarely took notes from my perspective. And from a pov it is probably smart since writing and listening simultaneously might actually drain your mental capacity since your multitasking. Its probably much more smarter to read chapter/notes prior to class and to take notes there and then to listen on in class to cement concept.

I agree but this was an advanced offering where the professor would teacher whatever they felt like at the moment whether it was a weird proof of the mean value theorem or a prototype proof of the heine-borel theorem. There were no notes for this class or any way to know what was to be taught beforehand. The kid just remembered everything.

My point is that being able to do math problems where your suppose to follow cook book like method shouldnt be seen as a marker of intelligence. Like you said maybe im not intelligent but I was able to cram for most of my differential equation classes without actually studying.

It's not _the_ marker. It's _one of the_ markers. Some people are so dumb they can't even understand the rules. Some people are so dumb they can't even adhere to the rules. Some people are so smart they can't even understand the rules. Some people are so smart they can't even adhere to the rules.

That was my only point here. Literally, you can't replace

a piece of information for you, bud: you can only assume things about my mental state, and you're not succeeding at that. I'm mildly annoyed and mildly amused by the retardation in the air, but hardly butthurt yet. You'd have to do something more than the usual Anon Babble-level shit to turn me on ;D

But yeah, I'm going easy on you, you plainly need that :)

>autistic emoji signature

not knowing the difference between an emoji and an emoticon

also, I have autism, and what? So do you, otherwise you wouldn't be here ;D

I didn't take notes for the most of my younger life. I started when I turned 30, now I'm making notes constantly. I didn't have to when I was a kid, I remembered everything I wanted or needed. Now my brain is a junkyard that needs constant cleanups and emptying. I no longer want or need to remember.
That kid is not lucky or gifted in objective terms, but just extremely unfortunate in the long run. Ability to forget increases long-term results, because it makes you more open to alternatives. You still need an open mindset, though.

what would happen if you told a high IQ kid he had an iq of 95 and sub avg iq person that they had an IQ of 125 how would their lives change based on this scenario? Would it push someone who always thought of themselves as dumber to work hard and would actual high iq person be demoralized or try to prove people wrong.

read Tao, mate, maybe one day you'll understand there's nothing inherently wrong with wasting time on anything :)

So your a schizo from Anon Babble larping. Your probably at best a good story writer.

Why would I? I don't really get why anyone, regardless of intelligence level, would, having free and unburdened choice of a lifestyle.

Duty to society and greater human collective? you could help cure diseases, create tech to help people and improve society by championing for change. Caring about yourself despite being gifted shows your a selfish POS

Chris Langan

I mean maybe you could have high IQ like a car with lots of horse power but you have bad driver in seat. Maybe theres an emotional intelligence aspect to it and being consciousness where you are more self aware. Like being able to delay gratification and understand your emotions or goals. The iq test in pic only tests how good you are at rotating shapes and word relation not how you think overall.

high iq person would have found a way to make this situation salvageable.

Last time I tested I was around the same. You are above average, not average. You've just made it past the midwit bracket which is realistically IQ's ranging from 90-100

People would make you a millionaire
The explosion and flying down from a mountain is something you have to do in photoshop

tfw too dumb to do psychologically manipulate humans like training an animal

tfw too smart to naturally be charismatic

what would happen if you told a high IQ kid he had an iq of 95 and sub avg iq person that they had an IQ of 125 how would their lives change based on this scenario? Would it push someone who always thought of themselves as dumber to work hard and would actual high iq person be demoralized or try to prove people wrong.

There are studies like this and as you may know the placebo effect is real...but there's are limits. Innate/genetic intelligence is very real and no amount of megalomania can skirt around this.

>read Tao, mate, maybe one day you'll understand there's nothing inherently wrong with wasting time on anything :)

So your a schizo from Anon Babble larping. Your probably at best a good story writer.

You want a photo of my Mensa cert to be proven otherwise? I'd be happy to oblige ;D

That said - implying that anyone with a philosophical approach to life has to be a larping schizo... says a lot about your insecurities, bud ;}

Duty to society and greater human collective?

Your duty is to your family and yourself. You can't serve greater good if you can't serve the lesser one. If you're not smart enough to understand what you want and follow that, you're not smart enough to fix the world, period.

you could help cure diseases,

the proper solution for diseases is to evolve. The genes adapt. Nothing needs to be done.

create tech to help people and improve society

No technology can help nor save people nor society. Technology creates problems, not solves them. The world would be an utopia for centuries if technology could do that.

by championing for change.

I am. Sorry you can't see that, but I can't help you with that.

Caring about yourself despite being gifted shows your a selfish POS

I have enough people who are dependent on me to understand I need to take care about myself first and foremost. Not understanding that, well, shows you're young and unexperienced, hopefully.

i asked AI what it wouldve done to show what a high IQ person wouldve done

Be me, at music festival on college campus, rocking hydrobag to avoid $5 Liquid Deaths
Walking to train, girl behind me asks, Is that a hydrobag?
Turn around, she sees my face, starts walking away
Flash charming smile, say, "Yep, my festival MVP saving me from price gouged water!"
Take a step, keep it light "You a hydrobag pro or just spotting one in the wild?"
She slows, I vibe with, "This festival's wild, what's your survival trick?"
If she bites, ask, "Caught that last set? What's your fave so far?"
Introduce myself "I'm anon, hydrobag warrior. You are?"
If she keeps walking, toss out, "Stay hydrated, festival champ!" with a wave

*you're
boom rekt

This essentially, though with enough confidence to proceed through an IQ test in a timely manner without second guessing one's self too much they might score higher, even significantly so

you're both right here, in a way. Read the studies about correlation of IQ and results in academia. Somewhat surprisingly, the correlation stops at about 2 SDs. I think that's the lesson here - you can't grow an arm if you were born without one, but you can still accomplish a lot with just one arm.

I'll probably have to wrap this up shortly, see you later guys :)

At this point I'd be content to just convince someone that I'm entirely correct in concluding I should kill myself now rather than live like this for another 40+ years.

the proper solution for diseases is to evolve. The genes adapt. Nothing needs to be done.

So kids with leukemia, car accidents, trauma from injuries and rising rates of cancer amongst youth is just them being outdated and not fully evolved. Maybe youd care if someone you loved went through something like that but fact you are unable to understand perspectives outside of yours shows your not as smart as you claim to be. Your judging me for caring about people while you peddle superstitions that give people false hope.

wut xd

I thought of a good line later of course but she was on her fourth or fifth Hitachi orgasm by then so what does it matter.

im an incel and never been to a concert though ur not an actual robot.

I'm actually more of an incel because I go to things and still can't pull it off.

so should we tell black people they are low iq or should we upheld the egalitarian view we are all as equally capable.

all you have to do is get drunk and find an asian whore to suck ur white cock fag

currycel

This doesn't work either if you're a loser.

if you have 130 iq you should stop going on Anon Babble bro just be rich instead

????

are you white? and how tall are you

car accidents, trauma from injuries

you say car accidents and injuries are diseases, and I should devote my life to find a cure for car accidents? like, LOL? You want a pill that will save you from being killed by a meteor too? xD

and rising rates of cancer amongst youth is just them being outdated and not fully evolved.

result of the societal changes, poisoned environment and all that crap. Literally, yes. Either stop poisoning the environment or adapt to the poison. No golden bullet here, you can't have both.

Maybe youd care if someone you loved went through something like that but fact

how do you know I haven't? What do you know about my life and experiences, frankly?

you are unable to understand perspectives outside of yours shows your not as smart as you claim to be.

projecting, mate, projecting really hard. NO U is not a valid debate argument after you're older than 5. Also, I'm not claiming I'm smart. If anything, from now on I'm starting to claim that you have cognitive deficiencies, that's all ;D

Your judging me for caring about people while you peddle superstitions that give people false hope.

you're not caring about anyone, you're just shitposting on the internet. If you'd care about people, you'd be out helping them or interacting with them, instead of shitposting and going aggro at people you know nothing about on the internet.

How do I increase my IQ, is IQmaxxing a thing?

usng your brain power to respond to pointless threads on internet

vs

making tangble changes to society and life

you say car accidents and injuries are diseases,

NTA but I'm white and I was measured at 6'2" by my doctor

How do I increase my epenis

post on as many online sites as you can, your epenis will surely grow

pointless

tangible

This just hinges on your interpretation of online threads being "pointless" as opposed to the supposed tangibility of slaving away in a lab where the project will get refunded and your results will get thrown out anyway, but hey at least it was in pursuance of helpin' muh society, get fucked

you say car accidents and injuries are disease

You can get life long injuries and diseases due to a car accident.

and I should devote my life to find a cure for car accidents? like, LOL? You want a pill that will save you from being killed by a meteor too? xD

Your definintely not as high IQ as you claim if you cant read in between words as to what im referring to.

Either stop poisoning the environment or adapt to the poison. No golden bullet here, you can't have both.

So try advocating for change or help find ways for humans to adapat to forever chemicals in our ennroment.

how do you know I haven't? What do you know about my life and experiences, frankly?

Cause you come off very sheltered

*defunded

your interpretation of online threads being "pointless"

Mom when I grow up i wanna spend my adult years responding to mentally ill men on image boards.
and ur an incel?

What does it matter how you spend your time, it's all meaningless in the end, and no I'm not an incel I just like being called a winner but also I have a slight anxiety that 6'2" isn't tall enough, people seem more impressed by 6'4" these days

:D

even with le high iq you're still an insufferable faggot

Value judgements aside it's stupid because it puts forward an act of labor like it's at odds with an act of leisure... or that being "rich" somehow precludes going on Anon Babble or vice versa. Lol
I'm not rich myself FWIW

Somehow I doubt the 3 standard deviations from average claim unless they meant 3 SDs below the mean because anyone with half a brain knows that's an aggravating way to communicate, ugh, yeah I got 145 on the Mensa Norway test too now try it with an actual professional test administrator

so your mentally ill and depressed

go get therapy if ur white and 6'2 life is easy mode for you.

if your high iq you should find physics, math and questions to universe much more interesting than vapid stuff we discuss on r9k.

Okay so 6'2" is tall enough thanks that's all I was looking for

your

Why are you still on this thread, stop giving people much more intelligent than you advice on how they can properly put their brainpower to use, math and physics are for insecure pseuds this is level 0 shit

getting into a hissy fit over a word

your lack of intelligence is showing anon and if you keep going this lazy attempt as larping as some genius might start to unravel in front of everyone.

Like 140 IQ or something sure you could probably just talk about math in the abstract with other math majors, top 20% is a huge range and even if someone would like to talk about those things it's not like you can just go on a math forum or find other geniuses at university to talk to.
I think people would probably avoid r9k because it sucks and not because of their own intelligence, at some point I imagine even vapidity is about as stimulating as anything else you could be doing

I think that most of the people bragging with their high iq on a troon-filled ragebait board of an anime incel website are either just larpers or they took some of those no name test that always give you a different score

You can get life long injuries and diseases due to a car accident.

god, you really can't admit you don't have a clue, do you? xD

Your definintely not as high IQ as you claim if you cant read in between words as to what im referring to.

retard, can you even read? I told you, at this point my only claim is that you're retarded, period :D

So try advocating for change or help find ways for humans to adapat to forever chemicals in our ennroment.

why should I? I don't give a fuck about the way you poison yourself, because you're my competition if anything, and a long way from a semblance of a friend of any kind.

Cause you come off very sheltered

and you come off very retarded. See the pattern here anon?

sorry, not responding to reddit retards today, because today is a 4ch day for me :D
that said - thanks for the words of appreciation, I do my best to shitpost, happy to serve you anon!
a doubt is a healthy response. However, if you find things on 4ch "aggravating", maybe you should, I dunno, go back2reddit? xD

why should I? I don't give a fuck about the way you poison yourself, because you're my competition if anything, and a long way from a semblance of a friend of any kind.

yeah ur a tard

yeah no u xD

use your brain to fix za worldo and shit

You mean beg and grovel your way up the ladder for the opportunity to serve Jeff Goldstein and the other government/corporate fatcats? If you weren't a midwit you'd realize intelligence isn't what's being selected for, and definitely not for the sake of any passion or altruism. The time of the inventor is over, now is the time of the slimy conman.

Here's how intelligent people end up on Anon Babble. You spend your whole life being looked down on for not fitting in, it all cascades from there. Understanding math, science, english, ext, was never the issue. People were always the ones getting in the way. Dudes get in your face, girls spread rumors about you, teachers report you whenever you get dogpiled by everyone else, treat you like an idiot to assert their own ego. Then you get out and employers want you to shell out your wallet for a useless piece of paper that says you're qualified to kiss their ass.

You see the problem? At no point did any actual intelligence enter the picture. Even if you end up in your dream job, you're not helping anyone. The powers that be will never allow things to get better. You wanna be a programmer, keep enshittifying or you're out of a job. Oooh are you gonna discover a new number or some shit? I don't care to sacrifice myself to that is built against me and celebrates stupidity, I'll just learn what I want, work on my own projects, make only what I need to live comfortably, goon, bait, repeat. Is it gay? Yes. We live in clownworld now, only the biggest faggots survive.

basically /thread, all very good and accurate points, though with one small caveat

We live in clownworld now, only the biggest faggots survive.

hopefully, not only, or only for some time. We'll see, however, I'd say this is an interesting bet, "will homo sapiens fall or evolve?"
My own take, is that we just need to allow ourselves to redefine intelligence to our ability to adapt, evolve and survive. If we do, suddenly there is no longer the paradox of a "smart retard" or "dumb egghead". Suddenly, those who manage are intelligent, and those who don't - ain't.
It does take a long-term perspective to account for that, though. 50 years or so, I'd say. Our lifespan is both too long and too short, unfortunately.

Unironically: read, eat as clean as possible, avoid drugs, and get enough sleep. It won't technically "raise" your iq, but it should reduce cognitive decline

Hello fellow retards

parents treat you like an idiot to assert their own ego

I don't care to sacrifice myself to a society that is built against me and celebrates stupidity

Sorry, shat this one out before thread died.

Sadly intelligence is getting redefined as "agrees with me". If you don't have the right opinions you're stupid and evil. So the smartest person is just the guy who supports the hegemony. It's always been like that, but now there's so much crackdown on new ideas and memory holing of anything that doesn't fit with the current zeitgeist. They don't want people politely discussing things, everyone has to be emotional to spite the other side.

Iq is worthless.
Proof: I scored this, and I'm stupid.
