Ex mensa member here. 133 IQ. I joined when I was a teenager and went to one meeting.

It's mostly people who haven't achieved anything in life whos define themselves by what they scored on an IQ test as a kid. It's pretty much just a huge circlejerk of underachievement. I did not meet one single person there who had achieved anything great.

For an American club that is based around IQ and knowledge, you would think that at least one of them would know that mensa means dummy or unintelligent in the feminine form in Spanish.

I mean, they are super smart people, right?
Some of the most intelligent people on the planet know multiple languages.

Spanish is one of the most commonly spoken languages on the planet, let alone America.

Why would they name themselves MENSA?
Sure, you could argue that they don't care what a bunch of dumb spics think, but if they are so smart and join the club for prestige, couldn't they put their heads together and figure out a better acronym?

It would be super easy, they ARE smart, after all.

Don't join MENSA. It's not hard to get in at all, meaning it attracts those desperate to flex what they perceive to be their intelligence. People who need to feel "smart" are unbearably arrogant and weird.

>>10156886
>who /smartbutdepressed/ or /smartbutlazy/ or /smartbutunmotivated/ here
Don't you dare start this. There is no such thing. You can be reasonably clever, but if you don't use it, you waste it and you aren't intelligent, period. The "I'm smart I just can't work hard because ____" is the excuse used by basement dwelling losers on 4chan to justify all manner of horrible laziness that destroys their lives.

Keep in mind this exact excuse is used by losers to justify their lives to themselves. Case in point: a good buddy of mine swears up and down he's "smart but lazy" because he was too lazy to finish highschool but can figure his way around C++. He can pretend to be smart and "undiscovered" all he wants, that doesn't mean he doesn't still work at a gas station and can't apply his intelligence (however much of it there is) in any meaningful way.

If you want to truly be intelligent, nut up, get medication if you need it, and put yourself to the grindstone every day. Otherwise, it's like you're a block of shitty granite calling yourself a statue.

You're not understanding the point.

Sure, you can be intelligent and lazy, but that's like having a Ferrari that never leaves the garage. There are plenty of people who are intelligent in the world, but what matters is your ability to leverage the intelligence into something useful, not your general ability to be clever.

I know way too many guys who sit around fellating their own intelligence while doing fuck all because ~reasons~. They are destined to die poor, unfulfilled, and unhappy.
