Lefties proven (again) to tend smarter than right-wingers

[Bilbous72]

When i was a lot of years younger and in the military. The vast majority of officers straight out of Sandringham(Officer academy) had qualifications coming out of their ears but not an ounce of common sense.

The grammatically sloppy thread title suggests the thread creator is a right winger.

"Lefties proven (again) to tend smarter than right-wingers" 

[Maxmars]

For those of us who still need it proved to them (not the brightest tools in the woodshed, these).

But hardly news: previous studies have also indicated the same thing.

I wonder if I could find any better justification to peacock...

unless the people who built the test and selected the tools to 'curate' were ensuring they got the result they wanted... because maybe in their world being inbred means something 'better.' 

This seems the root of those who would discount the life of another because it doesn't conform to their ... ideals ...

Eugenic cleansers, racial purists, and now 'linked' to IQ...
that "gospel" messenger of who could possible 'figure out' anything of importance.

None seem more certain that IQ should matter than those who boast a high IQ.
An interesting confluence... of elevated position with elevated intelligence.

Some might say "Yet as many of you are in jail as the rest of us, only you do the most damage."

I think, high IQ designation is not something to feel boastful about...
it should be something to be careful of...
whether an incidental gift, or a 'social' privilege 'earned,'
it's a responsibility.

A responsibility to "what?"... I could never say... 'smartly.'

Scoring on an IQ test doesn't make someone intelligent.

While there can be disagreement about the meaning of the highest scores in IQ tests (and there are several types of IQ tests and grading systems), but scoring low in an IQ test is a fairly unambiguous indicator of cognitive disability.

The left think men can get pregnant and that 'no borders' is a good thing.
They are the people who think  Tim Walz is a 'manly man'.

To think that there are people walking around who believe that 50% or more of their neighbours believe such nonsense!

That's proof of the paper right there.

The party that gives us 'woke' bullshit.

The opposite of being woke is being unconscious.

It would appear that right-wing pundits regurgitate the slogans of the stupid without one iota of conscious consideration. They are very un-woke - meat automata - zombies.

No ... that's not 'being smarter'.

The study said that 'social liberalism' is intelligent.
No ... it's not.
And it said liberals were 'less authoritarian'.
No ... they aren't.
They are the most intolerant people in the country.
Silly study.

Your denials and unreasoning emphasize the conclusions drawn in the paper.

The intellectual capability, or not, of the most self-important people in the country is evident in nearly every news headline these days.

[chr0naut]

Being smart or intelligent isn’t necessarily the same or even better than common sense.

Just an observation.

Define 'common sense', cite some examples, specifically showing how they are unrelated to cognitive capability (ie, what certifiable idiots or non-conscious processes invented them).

[chr0naut]

Think men can be women.

I think that they believe that men can pretend to be women, and don't care to carry on a crusade against them.

Generally, I think that ALL the people in any room are different to each other, and you probably shouldn't get your panties in a bunch over non-conformity.

Also think they are the smartest people in the room.
Sure, Jan.

How do these people establish that they are the smartest people in a room? An IQ test?

The opposite of being woke is being unconscious.

The opposite of being woke is being MAGA.
Woke is idiotic.

The epithet "woke" used to be about being aware of the civil rights of African Americans, famously appearing in Lead Belly’s 1938 song "Scottsboro Boys" as "stay woke" and was used in 2014 in the Black Lives Matter campaign. In 2017, the term was added to the Oxford English Dictionary to define 'awareness of social injustice'.

The term wasn't used as an insult until 2019.

The people who use the word in its most modern context are clearly racists, ultra-conformists, bigots, highly self-centred and right-wingers who would happily subjugate themselves to tyranny just to feel they belong somewhere.

I will not abandon human compassion and civic responsibility just because of the non-insult of a MAGA (moronic and gullible asshole). I have enough faith in the majority of people that they will do likewise (The oft-repeated trope of someone going on 'a road trip with guns' when TSHTF is how NOT to survive. They will fall to natural selection while those who cooperate, engineer, farm and rebuild together, will. As Jesus put it, "the meek will inherit the Earth").

The same people that say men can have periods, the same people that say to wear a mask when you swim, are the same people TELLING me that they are smarter than me.
