Not that I necessarily believe ANYTHING that CNN would air, but I’ve worked with several people who have boasted of their high IQ’s and didn’t have enough common sense to make a pot of tea.

Perhaps, who cares, it’s like putting a 1000hp engine in a car with a rubber band transmission and skinny tires, it’s being wasted.

They are mentally defective.

higher IQs and atheists?

Makes sense to me. They tend to think way more of themselves
than they should - and pride is always the downfall of those
who end up far from God.

ampu

Only .003% of the population has an IQ higher than mine - and I'm to the right of Atilla the Hun.

So there.

My reaction is "even if true, so what?"

Are these "smart liberals" asserting that, on account of their superior wisdom, they have the moral right to order stupid people how to run their own lives?

The study found that young adults who said they were "very conservative" had an average adolescent IQ of 95, whereas those who said they were "very liberal" averaged 106.

So they consider 106 to be a high IQ? I blow that off the chart and do not consider myself to be all that exceptional.

Conservatives built the greatest nation in history, while liberals are now destroying it.

If the above statement is true, then it is preferential to have common sense over a high intelligence quotient.

Higher IQ doesn’t mean wisdom, experience and knowing the difference between right and wrong. I suppose it’s more like a high speed computer with tremendous capacity and unless it’s controlled by a system of checks and balances (moral foundation, conscience formation, etc.) it can cause a great deal of harm in the wrong hands. Maybe not the best analogy but applicable.

Who cares? Most Liberals and Atheists have zero common sense, and I can assure you, common sense is a lot more valuable then a high IQ. End of story. Just take a good objective, hard look at Joe Biden, etc. The poor gent may have a great IQ, but he is far, far from being the sharpest knife in the drawer!!! In fact, gently speaking he is a first class buffoon. So much for high IQs.

Evolutionary psychologist Satoshi Kanazawa at the the London School of Economics and Political Science correlated data on these behaviors with IQ from a large national U.S. sample and found that, on average, people who identified as liberal and atheist had higher IQs."

I would gather from his professional title, that this guy is really smart. And unbiased too.

>> “found that, on average, people who identified as liberal and atheist had higher IQs.”

I wonder what happened.

If they have higher IQs then why do they consistently come up with the wrong answers to society’s and life’s problems?

Selfish ego goes along with the IQ. That may be a significant part of the answer.

“For the foolishness of God is wiser than man’s wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man’s strength.”

Seems like this debate has been with mankind from the beginning.
