Suggestion for a sub-forum

[Preach]

IQ measurements are relativistic and imprecise in their very nature. They are a component in predicting success in life, but it's not obvious to me why that is, only that it is. Part of the problem is that the complexity of human perception is still vastly unchartered, so any attempt at trying to measure its merits and conclude about its nature will be as devoid of understanding as the actual subject matter itself, which is a big reason why the concept of IQ should be treated with care. It does imply something about how people's brain works, but I'm not sure it should be used the same way grades are used in school. I brought it up as a more symbolic way to present the concept that there are people, who either because of intelligence or experience, or wisdom, desire a certain type of dialogue that a lot of other people do not want to engage in, apparently, and that is currently lacking. It was triggered by my interaction in another thread, which is a totally honest response on my part. I've been thinking this before, a lot, and that was the drop that made me realize I actually wanna try and do something about it. Ie. make a thread about it, see what people say, and I guess I don't actually expect anything to happen and I'll go back to never posting except maybe a thank you here and there. Which is fine by me lol, I can get satiated elsewhere. I thought the forum wanted members. Maybe not my kind or maybe not any kind that doesn't fit onto a narrow bill. I don't kow.

So my post disappeared or something, but here's a fair point if you ask me:

I don't know if you were reading the thread we started discussing in, which he is referring to when he says "he made another thread to cry". I don't know if you saw how our discourse developed. He said something I disagreed with and I pointed out why I disagree, and he basically shut me off while being passive aggressive and instantly reaching for insults in his first response. He was being unreasonable and so there's a history here that you may or may not be privy too, which you should consider before you conclude that I am an asshole with no humility. I didn't infer that being smart is better, I inferred that smart people (and especially people in your percentile) would actually thrive in a forum like that, similar to how a top athlete wouldn't find satisfaction doing low level sports. What my intelligence means or doesn't mean was not a point I was trying to make at all. It would have to be your assumption that I meant to infer value, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt - I get why you think that, so something about our insight into ourselves and our knowledge of the world makes that an assumption many of us are quick to go to. Fair enough.

You do not know me however, and are wrong about your assumptions that I actually lack a significant amount of humility. But you are right, none of us are born with it, learning is a journey, and we're all equipped with different abilities. Like say with your IQ it would be reasonable to expect you to get a better grasp of the concept of humility than I ever could with my merely-above-average intelligence. Which I perfectly accept, by the way, so cut me some slack right? I'll get there at some slower rate than you but hopefully eventually.

I agree with you. If that were the case, then you would be in the right.

No, I had no idea of the context of the conversation at all. Didnt see a single post. I apologize.

LMFAO

No you did not make back-to-back-to-back-to-back posts. You truly have a special skill of making encyclopedia length posts that amount to less than nothing. Flipping the script. Now I'm the "stalker", huh? Lol you're not almost slapping anyone. So kill that bullshit. I'm done if you are. All you have to do is shut up.

[Preach]

To whoever is deleting my posts: can you please fuck off? If you want to actually do some good, delete every post going back and forth from me and him in this thread and leave the actual thread.

Why the fuck are you leaving his "LMFAO" but deleting my request for him to actually say something of essence? That's fucked up. At least do it right if you're gonns treat us like school kids and not let us settle differences naturally.

Another thing is that the mods are apparently favorizing peoole they know so my posts are being deleted and my argument is being killed and no one will respond to it.

Im a legal genius. I fell into the Less than 1% of IQ test takers (145-159), in the 6th grade.

There is no legal definition of genius.

A high IQ doesn't mean one can't be an idiot, unfortunately.

Very true. Being smart and being wise are not the same.

There is, according to the graph paper they give you, when you actually take the test. No, it does not say the word genius, but implies it. What it does say, is that you fall into a certain percentage, and displays it as a pie graph.

Huh? You called yourself a “legal genius” and I was pointing out that “genius” is not legally defined. “Legal genius” is a made up title.
