What's so bad about being low IQ?

[byuu]

I'd rather be friends with low IQ chads than useless spergs who obsess about IQ.

Nothing. I'm low IQ and turned out just fine.

IQ is just a measure of how well you can remember facts/recognize patterns/solve problems. Having a high IQ doesn't say anything about you as a person. Having a low IQ doesn't say anything about you as a person. As long as you try to be an enjoyable person outside of logic puzzle themed discussions, then I don't believe there is anything that would intrinsically link and how much people would want to associate with you.

Do you realize the pain you're causing the people reading your posts?

There's a difference between realizing someone is in pain, and caring about it. I care if a friend of mine is upset bc he read something online that reminds him of his dead dog. I don't care if a blue haired liberal reads something that 'invalidates' them. His statement was factual and to drive home a point. Retards, by definition of the illness, cannot process emotions like normal people. To ask someone not to speak about objective truths when asked about it is, well, retarded.

IQ is mostly just a gimmick to make spergs feel better about themselves, mensatards somehow aren't aware that being high IQ is not an achievement in and of itself, you're supposed to actually do something. There's plenty of fairly low IQ people who are just significantly better people than alot of high IQ people, because at least they're humble.

I don't consider IQ to be a primary concern for friendships, though it probably affects it without realizing.

Low-IQ is associated with lower impulse control which is associated with higher rates of crime, petty theft all the way to rapes and murder so you might be safer around boring smart people, at least generally speaking. Idiots don't think far enough ahead so when they get a dumb idea they sometimes just do it without thinking of the consequences.

Despite the Hollywood cliche of bimbo's and himbo's, there seems to be decent correlation between relative intelligence and how attractive someone is, in the same way lots of top olympic athletes are attractive, generally intelligent people are usually healthy looking. Chads are generally pretty intelligent for the most part. Really dumb people are fat, ugly, and stupid.

Queue the rant from the sperg about how he's high functioning with an IQ of 160 but is still incapable of taking the bus half a mile down the road.

For one's self, probably a shittier or more dangerous life. For society, there's no IQ test barring idiots from voting.

"Hollywood" is a specific kind of people who perpetuate false stereotypes for their own purposes: dumb blonde, incestuous Appalachian, "Magical Negro," etc.

In real life almost all (arguably all) positive qualities are correlated.

Really depends on the character of the person rather than the IQ of the person. I've got dumb as fuck friends who are the nicest people you'd ever meet, and I've got intelligent friends who are the nicest people you'd ever meet. I don't have a preference for either as both are good company.

It's different with assholes. Dumb assholes are insufferable because they're so socially inept they can't hide being an asshole and dangerous to be around because they do dumb, dangerous shit. Intelligent assholes are insufferable because they can effectively be an asshole within the social contract and dangerous because they're competent in their assholery.

Intelligence is a spectrum. People we view as stupid, say a country bumpkin who can't do math and reads at a 5th grade level might not be there to have an intellectual discussion with you, but if your car makes a funny noise he knows what it is without looking and can get it fixed at the price of a case of beer.

That, and-- at this point-- they'll probably have a better idea of what a woman is versus the average college graduate.

Genuinely: you might get into more trouble since you misunderstood something or couldn't think your way out of a problem.

Friendship-wise, not much. As long as you have things to talk about and don't get frustrated by each other due to brain differences, you can be chads together.

In real life almost all (arguably all) positive qualities are correlated.

You haven't hung around many STEM majors and job havers, have you? I've seen several ugly doctors who are smart and caring, just lacking in the body.
