@Heavenly_Race_ I agree with you for the most part, but I will say people with extensive vocabularies, more often than not, are pretending to be smarter than they are. A true mark of intelligence is explaining complex topics so simply a toddler could understand them.
Once you hit about a 20-point IQ gap, communication starts to completely break down.
It's not that the lower IQ person is "stupid" (although that can often be the case) or the higher one is arrogant, it's that you're literally operating on different systems.
A 20 point difference (roughly 1.3 standard deviations) means:
Vocabulary and abstraction levels diverge sharply. What feels like crystal clear logic to one side sounds like vague, pretentious word salad to the other. Jokes land flat. Metaphors get taken literally. Complex cause and effect chains get simplified into "this good, that bad."
Different time horizons and pattern recognition. One person thinks in months or years and sees systems, the other is locked into days or immediate rewards. Trying to explain second order effects feels like speaking another language.
Also, processing speed and working memory gaps. The higher IQ person is already three steps ahead, getting impatient. The lower IQ person feels talked down to or overwhelmed.
Both walk away frustrated.
Both have wasted each others time.
@falkrak You are larping. Being “intelligent” is more than pattern recognition, which IQ tests exclusively test for. You have great pattern recognition but extremely poor social intelligence, which you claim to be a symptom of your IQ, but in reality you are just dumb in another way.
Been trying the whole “2g of creatine for every 1 lb of body weight” thing for a month now and I’ve never felt worse. How do you guys do it. It’s also like $1000 a week of creatine.
@Hitchslap1 Absolutely not lmao, vocabulary is a tool that allows dumb people to appear smarter than they are. It’s not even remotely a predictor of real, useable intelligence.
@CollinRugg That’s what I don’t get lol y’all drag karmelo and dickride Chud lmao or vice Versa lmao. They both used a weapon in “self defense” (not really) so they either both go free or both go to jail lol ain’t no pick and choose
i do find it funny how, in these people’s heads, the equivalent of men raping isn’t women raping, but rather women trying to damage the reputation of a man.
@Vviviyuju@PeterRudoy73971@dollshojo So you’re gonna want to read the part after I said “but he had already lost everything” starting with “that.” The sentence actually continues after that phrase. Hope this helps. Let me know if you need any other clarifications
@danscarling Poor men absolutely get away with it, which is horrible. But the most powerful in our society almost always get away with it. That’s the point I’m making
@danscarling@D1ButMyKnee@dollshojo False accusations don’t impact the uber-wealthy. They can essentially do anything they want. Murder, rape, thievery, it’s all allowed. I thought that was a given. I just try and hope there will be some comeuppance for it eventually
@HughJanusJD@D1ButMyKnee@dollshojo Rapists get to be famous they get to rule the fucking world and you want me to feel bad because the SLIMMEST less than 1 percent chance it could be a lie? I’d rather believe a potential liar than a potential fucking rapist.
@danscarling@D1ButMyKnee@dollshojo I know people who have been raped, and I have seen the horrific effects it has. Likewise for a false accusation. Suffering isn’t a competition. Also you shouldn’t tell people to kill themselves. You don’t know what people are going through.
@Vviviyuju@PeterRudoy73971@dollshojo Guy I went to school with got a charge. Lost his scholarship and job over it. People cut him out of their lives and he was labelled a monster. A few years later got found not guilty on all charges. But he had already lost everything that would set his life up.
@dollshojo Yes rape is far worse than the false accusation of rape but false accusation itself should be labelled as attempt to murder as it literally destroys the person's life, relationships and put serious psychological and physical stress
@danscarling@D1ButMyKnee@dollshojo They will be shunned by society until they die. Maybe end up working at McDonalds, if they can even get a job there. Is that a just punishment? Maybe it is. But imagine going through that while innocent. Many people would rather die than live that fate.
@D1ButMyKnee@dollshojo A group of teenage boys were just released with barely a slap on the wrist for raping a 15 year old girl at knife point while laughing ON RECORDING. GFYS DIE
