From the archives. Jesus what a grim fucking comic, great contrast between the subject and the cutesy style, which I guess is what made me go “heh, holy shit”

    It speaks to everyone. “I’m messed up because I’m smarter than other people” is a seductive fantasy.

      I clicked into the article wondering how they measured intelligence, and they polled people from Mensa. What a fucking joke.

            Low wisdom simply because they’re part of a club? 🤔

            Sounds like you all are the ones who lack wisdom

                Nah. You automatically made huge assumptions about the people who joined that group with no understanding of who they are or what they actually stand for because you never researched it or even cared to Google it. And you did that because you, as an anti-intellectual, are one of those people who talk shit about people more intelligent than you to make yourself sound smart.

                Did you know 12% of them are Zoomers, for instance? As in teens? Did you even consider some of them would be kids or teens or did that just slip your mind in the middle of you taking out your anger, jealousy and inadequacies on them?

                But as usual, as some dumbass anti-intellectualist bigot, you project your own flaws and failings onto a group you want to marginalize to make yourself feel better.

                Shut the fuck up and go crack open a book, you worthless, arrogant, vapid, vicious little clod.

              Because they’re part of a paid club, I guess

                And you’re so much better than them because you’re not 🤷

                It couldn’t possibly be you’re the one actually acting that way

                You’re the stupid, oversensitive failure with the inferiority complex taking out your emotions on innocent people who have literally done nothing to you but of course you’re the victim here and not them

                  I don’t know much about the club and was not expressing my opinion on them (because I have none). I just guessed what whas is the reason someone picked on them

      being smart is less fun than people think tbh, being twice exceptional is even less fun

      Well, I know I am far smarter than a few family members. My brother told me he would never get vaccinated for covid, because it has cancer in it, which is not true.

      Overall I would say I am average, or slightly above average iq. Not saying I am a genius.
