So I had to take an IQ test recently. Was being told that there is a correlation between politics and IQ. Specifically I was told that higher IQ is associated with Leftism.

That smells like woke bullshit.

Got my score, and had a little moment of smug delight because my score was surprisingly high. And it got me thinking:

I bet if everyone on this site took an IQ test and we averaged the scores, we would find that Patriots are just fucking smarter. I also bet that if you took a similar cross section of liberals and did the same, they would be significantly below average.

I just cannot believe that “let’s smash that storefront and take shit, they have insurance” and “wealth redistribution is sustainable” can possible make sense to a high functioning mind.

Rant over.

This is hilarious, you post this and say you suspect we’re all smarter than your average bear, yet all the replies to it are people saying “nah, we’re a bunch of fucking idiots.”

Well, there is something to be said about humility.

“If I were to tell you that I am smart, you would assume I am boasting; but if I tel you I am not that smart, you know I am lying” - that was either Carl Sagan or Neil ‘Black Science Man’ Tyson.
