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

[chr0naut]

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

Totally not woke.

[Astyanax]

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.

Who says they're the same people? Prove it.

And they're not telling you, they're showing you. That's how science works.

Looks like you just proved them right.

Go easy on them.

They are probably from one of those countries with a lower average IQ, despite stronger cultural and educational links to the standardised questions.

It might has something to do with the water?

"Intelligence" is quite subjective. I could see how, in a clinical setting, self-assured pseudo-intellectuals would rush to proclaim themselves superior. It fits their whole need-for-approval psyche.

Common-sense and practical skills are the venue of the "common man", to be sure. 



I wouldn't go bashing the MAGA Founders who drafted the Declaration of Independence and US Constitution either.

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.' 

Do you have any reason, apart from your own feelings of insecurity, to think so?

Isn't my insecurity reason enough to dismiss my concerns, rather than address them?
If I'm insecure, perhaps it's because I have some excuse to feel threatened by social labels which are bandied about like merit badges.

If I'm frank, it may be because high IQ people make the most severe bullies I have ever had to work with... and the least likely to admit high-IQ doesn't solve all problems, and sometimes doesn't serve all situations.
People are different, even high-IQ people... some are fine, some are not so fine.


I offer only that 'statistics' do not represent knowledge, they represents certainty between outcomes looked for.

If it can be said intelligent leads to picking an ideology, and there is a 'science' voice behind it... you can be sure that the fact will be "used" to further the ideology... never mind any element of the ideology itself.

Every time anyone has proposed that it's innately intelligent to be a [fill in the blank] it seems a blind-spot forms... or a cloister is born, if there are a bunch of equally 'difference-obsessed' people clustered.

I sure it's just all too complicated for me to understand... don't waste your time, eh? 

No seriously, not intending to provoke (as if I could)...
but how is it that 'the capacity for reason' is 'programmed' into DNA?
And if not a manifestation of evolutionary imperative...
how would humans "evolve" into ... what is it now?... liberalism, progressiveness?

How is high-IQ a matter of 'social' ideology...

At the time of the drafting of the Declaration of Independence, the USA didn't yet exist, in fact, it wasn't until 5 years later that it was ratified that (some of) the States were confederated into a nation.

It isn't possible that the Floundering Fathers were all gung-ho about a country that didn't exist yet, let alone calling for making it great AGAIN.

Thank you for demonstration of yet another real-world example of MAGA's level of 'intelligence'.

Standard IQ tests always give lower scores to poorer people, people who have lower access to technologies and countries where education, and therefore literacy, is unusual.

Do people always tell you they are smarter than you?

Because I don't recall anyone saying that to me?

Even people that I think are smarter than me aren't combative like that.

Usually their achievements and the sparkling wonder of their ideas speak for themselves.
