I can tell there are some very high IQ’s here at FR, and I wonder if they all have similar experiences? Watching people do dumb stuff around them and you can’t stop them because they won’t understand...
It’s extremely frustrating.
(IQ 142 here)
That’s around my IQ as well.
I’m in the 140’s, and make mistakes all the time. Also, I wouldn’t want to join Mensa. Bunch of Leftists.
What’s often missed is when smart people do or say dumb things.
For example, when Bertrand Russell said “Whatever knowledge is attainable, must be attained by scientific methods; and what science cannot discover, mankind cannot know.” (self refuting statement)
Or Stephen Hawking’s statement that “because there is a law of gravity, the universe can and will create itself.” (logically incoherent)
One of thing which really frustrates me is while immigrants from India currently have the highest capita income of any ethnic group, majority vote democrat! The democrats are better at PR making immigrants believe their party is more inclusive, while reaching into their pockets.
