I'm in my schools gifted program. That means you need an IQ in the top 10% (iirc) and tbh nobody there thinks that they're smart. Literally everyone there is a dumbass who thinks in numbers slightly more often than non gifted kids.
Also add on top the statistical likelihood to be autistic/ADHD (twice exceptional is very common btw) and it's just a normal class where those 2 or 3 kids who constantly yell/act up aren't there and on Fridays the teacher lets you make a windmill out of a paper plate, old paint brushes, and air dry clay. Last year the teacher accidentally made the finals answers all A. Tbh I'm just in it for my resume.

This statement is not true for cases where more than one person has average intelligence.

Did I ever tell you the story about
Cowboys, and m-midgets, and the Indians and fron-frontier psychiatrist?
I-I-I felt strangely hypnotised
I was in another world, a world of twenty-twenty thousand girls

I've long said (and this is a hill that I'm willing to die on) that everyone is smart in some way. We're all just smart about different things and in different ways.

Nah, educating people is a lost cause. Who are we to educate anyone, anyway? Educate yourself, then whoever wants can rub off your education

Everyone dumber than me is a moron.

Everyone smarter than me is an asshole.

With all these morons and assholes everywhere, it's amazing society even functions.

Unfriendly reminder that one half of US adults read at a 6th grade level. When you think the average person is stupid, be aware of how incredibly stupid that is

Eh, keurig doesn't seem like a great company, but they're nowhere near as bad as nestle.

95% is a little low for a genius.

At 95%, you are the smartest in a room of 20.

Depending on if you are talking about ordinary or extraordinary genius, depending on which measure you choose ordinary genius is in the 1 in 10k range; and extraordinary genius is 100 to 1000 times rarer 1 in a million to 1 in 10 million range.

If you are sitting in a stadium of 50k, and you are the smartest person. You are still likely not and extraordinary genius.

If you think genius implies good personal hygiene, I think I know which side of the graph you fall on.

[clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world]

Sounds like you fancy yourself a scumbag philosopher.

[clent@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Definitely know where your emotional intellegence falls on the graph.

You not replying makes me think you didn't do that misspelling on purpose, which is way more funny.

People not being able to grasp basic shit like how to use there, their and they're correctly shows how dumb most people are.
