          Not because they have no drive. But, because they have a drive to self-direct their intellectual lives.

          The stereotypical example here is Grigori Perelman who won Fields medal. He was a poor neckbeard living with his mom on poverty wages. Not because he couldn't cut it as a paper-mill professor living off grants or coder for google or in any other normie occupation. But because he wanted to direct his time for his own goals instead for the goals of his employer. In his case it was working on some math problem for decades.

      I don't think someone that intelligent would just slip the cracks. Everyone thinks they are are 140 IQ genius but if that was true someone would of noticed at some point early in your life. I guess his whole backstory was that he was abandoned and abused as a child. But even still, he never ended up in the school system? No adults ever noticed that he was reading books about the American economy post revolutionary war?

      They also made his brilliance unrealistic. He is knowledable in everything. Real life geniuses would excel in one or two areas but to solve impossible math equations and have extensive knowledge about markets and economics while being a broke ass janitor is absurd.

          Not really. A kid with a high IQ can pick up concepts quickly but much of public school grading is based on rote memorization rather than critical thinking skills. High intelligence often is accompanied by good memorization skills but they still have to put in some effort to do the memorization at all. You can't get straight A grades in public school without doing at least a bit of studying to memorize all the stupid dates and factoids that you're expected to regurgitate on the test.

        Ya won’t believe me, but cert genius here. Many slip thru the cracks, especially when autistic.

        His brilliance is not unrealistic. A true genius is often knowledgeable abt a huge variety, not just two areas.

        Think of it like this; if you take 1 hour to learn what takes most other people 10, why wouldn’t you spread that out over many subjects? Especially because there’s diminishing returns on intellect vs competence. The more specialized a field, the less your general geniality matters, whilst your competence can be outpaced by the guy with less IQ but higher willpower and better work ethic.

        It’s why the smartest STEMlords are rarely top of the class

          Cope. None of you are smart. Getting 130+ on an online test is worthless and is the equivalent of getting 90 on the real thing. Quit overvaluing you being slightly above average in elementary school.

                Which Mensa test? If it was online, it's not a valid test. I think it's the Netherlands branch that put a test online and people take it thinking it's in any way valid. Not even that branch of Mensa will accept the online test for membership. Regardless of if you scored high or low, it might as well have been a quiz on tumblr. Don't put any weight whatsoever in it. Absolutely don't call yourself moronic based on an online test.
                Contrary to what the uninformed whiners will try to make you believe, Mensa only accepts their own in-person proctored tests or one of a small number of IQ tests given by a psychological professional. In the past they accepted a few standardized tests but since those tests were changed to be primarily knowledge tests instead of intelligence tests, they haven't been accepted in decades.
                The point here isn't whether or not you can get into Mensa, it's basically a club for geeks who want to play games without being bothered by normies, but rather that IQ tests are not something you find in the wild. There's no real advantage to knowing your IQ but if you're curious and really do want to know, you have to get tested in a controlled environment using a test designed for that purpose.

            Can't decide which people are dumber, the people who take 20 minute online IQ tests and believe the result, or the people who think everyone who claims to be a genius online is such a person.

            Geniuses aren't that rare. They are 2% of the general population. Considering the kind of person Cinemaphile appeals to, I bet the percentage is even higher here, probably 5%. There are plenty of actual tested geniuses here, and you can generally tell the difference between them and the online test takers. Its kind of funny how midwits have this notion that geniuses won't tell people they're geniuses, like its some kind of mystical calling that gets cancelled out by a lack of humility.

            Plenty of them slip through the cracks too, I'm one of them. Intelligence past a certain point is frequently maladaptive.

              It's more that people who are verified geniuses typically don't use that fact as a form of appeal from authority but midwits love doing it, so people confuse the two when a genius does have reason to mention it due to a context other than trying to use it as a form of proof of correctness of an argument. It's perfectly fine for a genius to identify themselves in a conversation about IQ as it is related to that context. The problem comes in when someone has a flimsy argument and expects everyone to believe it is correct simply because it came from someone identifying as a genius (which they might or might not be).

            You're assuming intelligence exists in a vacuum. Ambition, aspirations, work ethic and a lot of other stuff play just as big a part as intelligence when it comes to achieving things in life. But that doesn't mean you can just pretend that people with high intelligence don't have high intelligence because they never achieved anything. They objectively do, but everything else about their character sucks ass so they don't do anything positive with the intelligence they were gifted

                I took an online IQ test on Cinemaphile a few years ago when I was struggling in pharmacy school and feeling like my entire world was crashing down around me and scored a 123 (which was disappointing at first because it confirmed the sneaking suspicion I’ve had for many years that, in spite of what my mom desperately wanted me to believe with no evidence whatsoever, I’m not a genius).

                I’m afraid of taking more IQ tests because there’s a very real possibility that I’ll score even lower, and my self-esteem is so low these days that a blow like that might obliterate whatever motivation I have left to improve or succeed.

                I used to score like 120-130 on online tests when I was a kid. Took a real one because I felt a lot dumber than that and got 114.

                Honestly made me feel better about myself and the achievements I had managed to complete. What's the point in making yourself feel like a failed genius if you're actually a midwit who's doing pretty good in life with the brain you were given?

                That’s a pretty fair point. To be fair, the only reason I was in pharmacy school back then was to stroke my ego, which is what compelled me to take that test in the first place. I’ve been sufficiently humbled by failure at this point that I think getting a real, accurate result might actually do me some good.

                Go for it, bud. Nothing to be ashamed about. Most people aren't geniuses, and the lower your score is, the more pride you can actually have in your achievements because that didn't come down to genetic luck, but actual hard work you had to put in

    Yeah but where because the North developed a protectionism which would later inspire Meiji and List (Hirohitos grandfather and HHGS ideological predecessor in Germany - Hitlers economist) while the South remained agrarian and only industrialized as a result of the civil war creating a necessity for industrial economy and the eventual collapse of slavery/share cropping due to West Asian undercutting, a janitor wouldn’t know why the South had to industrialize if he only read an American History because the causes were predicated on the British Empire securing naval routes to Egypt during the Napoleonic era leading to the cotton boom of West Asia which lead to the textile explosion in India which lead to British capitalism becoming ever more dominant which lead to Lincoln and Seward pushing for more Nationalization which suppressed States Rights and simultaneously made the South’s economy weaker because they now had to compete against much larger slave states in Asia.

            Happened 4 years ago, unfortunately. Fortunately you're wrong about there being a limit on novelty in video games - they come out at a faster and faster pace every year, and there's always creativity in the indie scene. And hey, maybe I'll sell the screenplay I'm working on.

            Which Mensa test? If it was online, it's not a valid test. I think it's the Netherlands branch that put a test online and people take it thinking it's in any way valid. Not even that branch of Mensa will accept the online test for membership. Regardless of if you scored high or low, it might as well have been a quiz on tumblr. Don't put any weight whatsoever in it. Absolutely don't call yourself moronic based on an online test.
            Contrary to what the uninformed whiners will try to make you believe, Mensa only accepts their own in-person proctored tests or one of a small number of IQ tests given by a psychological professional. In the past they accepted a few standardized tests but since those tests were changed to be primarily knowledge tests instead of intelligence tests, they haven't been accepted in decades.
            The point here isn't whether or not you can get into Mensa, it's basically a club for geeks who want to play games without being bothered by normies, but rather that IQ tests are not something you find in the wild. There's no real advantage to knowing your IQ but if you're curious and really do want to know, you have to get tested in a controlled environment using a test designed for that purpose.

            They still accept the LSAT last time I checked.

        What if I told you you're both right? As in it mostly depends on how you classify genius. If you're a very smart person in the 120-130 IQ range you're more likely than anyone to make life your b***h. It's only when you get to the freakishly smart range that the old adage about madness and genius rings true.

        Which makes obvious sense based on what we know about evolution, right? If there are certain gene combinations that express themselves by granting their recipients freakish intelligence, the simplest reason they wouldn't be in everyone if them also being related to enormous debilitating drawbacks that make it much harder to function, let alone to reproduce.

    IQ and other fake man-made concepts like time only appeal to insecure idiots. Do you really need your master to tell you what a smart slave you are being with your made up numbers?

    You will always be a slave. You have no goals, your life has no meaning, you have no worthwhile hobbies. You are an insecure man twisted by social media and celebrities into a crude mockery of nature’s perfection.
    All the “validation” you get is two-faced and half-hearted. Behind your back people mock you. Your parents are disgusted and ashamed of you, your “friends” laugh at your orcish appearance behind closed doors.
    Women are utterly repulsed by you. Thousands of years of evolution have allowed women to sniff out losers with incredible efficiency. Even gymcels who look "normal" are still uncanny and unnatural to a woman. Your trapezoid muscles are dead giveaways. And even if you manage to get a drunk chick home with you, she’ll turn tail and bolt the second she spots your degenerated, mutated and shrunken genitals.
    You will never be happy. You wrench out a fake smile every single morning and tell yourself it’s going to be ok, but deep inside you feel the body dysmorphia creeping up like a weed, ready to crush you under the unbearable weight.
    Eventually it’ll be too much to bear - you’ll abuse PEDs, train even harder, get a heart attack, and plunge into the cold abyss. Your parents will find you, heartbroken but relieved that they no longer have to live with the unbearable shame and disappointment. They’ll bury you with a headstone marked with your name and date of birth and death, and every passerby for the rest of eternity won't even bother looking at it because you're a nobody. Your beloved body will decay and go back to the dust, and all that will remain of your legacy is a skeleton that is no different than others.
    This is your fate. This is what you chose. There is no turning back.

        I don't think someone that intelligent would just slip the cracks. Everyone thinks they are are 140 IQ genius but if that was true someone would of noticed at some point early in your life. I guess his whole backstory was that he was abandoned and abused as a child. But even still, he never ended up in the school system? No adults ever noticed that he was reading books about the American economy post revolutionary war?

        They also made his brilliance unrealistic. He is knowledable in everything. Real life geniuses would excel in one or two areas but to solve impossible math equations and have extensive knowledge about markets and economics while being a broke ass janitor is absurd.

      >"stuff I read on Wikipedia > your rich, well connected father and degree from world's top university"
      It's funny because the word's top universities are now teaching their students to trust wikipedia to avoid misinformation.

      Why is there a wage gap?
      >wikipedia says it's that men are sexist
      Right answer!
      >but according to this research there might also be other factors, like women choosing less dangerous work...
      Nonono, now you're looking too hard and finding misinformation.

      I know I'm schizophrenic. I've been diagnosed multiple times. But I'll still stake my life on the fact that this is clown world.

      >Wasn't the whole point that while Will was a genius he was still a child who gained all his knowledge from other people's writings and didn't actually have any life wisdom?
      No, he could still generate original ideas from whatever he read in books. He just couldn't appreciate as anything other than abstracts. You can be a leading authority on neuroscience and then write the world's best sonnet, but you still won't know love until it kicks you right in the kisser.

        Are they really? Because when I went to uni every teacher no matter how lefty refused to take wiki as a source.

        Universities have been completely taken over by left wing ideologues and are now a combination of expensive degree printing businesses and indoctrination camps lead by Marxist professors

        The 90s though when this movie was made they still had some credibility although the writing was nonetheless on the wall by that time

        I would argue it would be impossible to write the world's best sonnet if you'd never been in love

        My favorite is still Shakespeare's Sonnet 130. The style at the time was to compare your woman to the stars, the sun, angels etc but he spends his Sonnet saying she is just an ordinary woman, that she walks on the ground like the rest of us, but that he loves her more dearly than anything else in the universe. That's the sort of thing you only write when you've experienced true, grounded love when you go against what they were writing in universities and palaces

          Yoooo are you me? 130 was the shit. So many creative ways to call a b***h busted, and then the kicker at the end melts underwear like butter.

          Thought I don't agree he only could have written it by experiencing love. I think he was just a player that knew everything about being cumming inside all of them. Elizabethan Russell Brand on hallucinogenic nutmeg instead of LSD.

    When will we stop thinking of intelligence this way? All the Mensa gays (let's not even get into how IQ tests seem to favor the rich and certain races) never end up doing shit. All the greatest innovators of our time were not booknerds or "smart." They were devoted to a specific field and thought outside the box on how to take that field to the next level.
    I'd rather figure out the different ways to make crypto globally viable than to read some gay ass history book. That's real intelligence right there.

      110-120 is the golden zone where a lot of people are able to achieve both academic and social success with relative ease.
      People at 130+ almost always seem like weirdos to regular people because the intelligence gap becomes too wide.The difference in intelligence is almost as wide as between the average person and someone with down syndrome, so it becomes very noticable.

      It's that simple. Not a very hard concept to grasp

                Then why were almost all the richest tech entrepreneurs on the planet outcast weirdos? Obviously people wanted to be around them after they became billionaires, for very obvious reasons, but before that these intelligent guys were incapable of understanding social norms. Why? Thiel and Musk are diagnosed spergs so they have an excuse but what about the rest?

                You're attributing the effects of mental illness and autism to high IQ. The two are often correlated, but high IQ alone doesn't cause social dysfunction.

        False equivalence. Somebody truly smarter than somebody and not just autistic understands social cues and norms, so it's not hard to act appropriately. People with down syndrome cannot understand these things. I'm a software engineer that graduated top of my class and I can socialize just fine with normies, although I find it kind of tiring. It's autists who can't socialize.

          This tbh
          I don’t get where people keep getting this meme that smart people are socially incompetent. Once you actually put forth 3 seconds to understand human nature and social interactions it’s easy as frick to understand how people work.

          Honestly what’s shocking to me is how fricking terrible people are at it. During the whole covid vax debacle for example the amount of time i heard shit like
          >b-but we told them the FACTS how could they possibly not agree with us?!
          Sounds like a fricking parody of a Sunday morning cartoon villain that doesn’t understand humans are driven by emotion before logic.

    Anyone who claims to be “intelligent but lazy” is really just a total failure and isn’t half as smart as they think they are. Just because you could pass the no child left behind tiers of shit schooling without studying doesn’t make you smart, they’re literally obligated and rewarded for making you pass.
