>As a /pol/tard of 12 years I can hardly understand what you guys are about.
Do you have ADHD or is English not your first language?

I belong to the school of if you can’t explain and teach a concept in simple terms, then you don’t understand the said concept at all.

THOSE DATA ARE OBSOLETE; EVERY BOARD IS IMBECILIC NOW; THE GENIAL DROPPED TO AVERAGE; THE DUMB GOT DUMBER.

>Do you have ADHD or is English not your first language?
Both. But neither of those are the issue.

>>21666397
Open a book and read the book.

>>21666473
Then, I am afraid to say we are not as intelligent as you claim

>>21666397
>You recommend reading straight from sources and merely reading authors to understand their point of view
That's just a basic human ability

>>21666507
It's on my list, but I wanted to read Alexandre Dumas jr. first.
Apparently (according to the info I've gathered here and there) he's the most entry level 19th century writer that isn't a hack.

>>21666520
You'd be surprised just how many people pick up a "smart book", read it and then parrot the author's opinions as if they were the ultimate truth.

>>21666522
The physicians

>>21666397
I could have sworn the real pic is this with the numbers a standard deviation lower. I remember /lit/ was the highest at 133, not 147..?

>>21666397
Reading Proust and Dostoevsky is just as important as reading De Maistre and Spengler. You will not watch a movie to compensate that.

>>21666523
That is the way NYT best-sellers target themselfs.

Why is /tg/ so low? Is it w40k players?

>>21666564
It’s you.

>>21666549
Might just be an online IQ test which basically means nothing. Actual IQ tests only show the results that are higher than 145 as 145+ since it just can't accurately measure it. So getting 147 out an normal IQ test is bs although I believe there is one specialized for that high scores.

>>21666435
its crazy how openly you declare your pedophilia. you know your IP address can be tracked from your posts on this site, right?

>>21666564
The people that read fantasy mostly are low-IQ. What is surprising here. Animefaggots that read Mishima or Dazai out of sheer weebness are more well-read than some genre-fiction reading retards.

>>21666564
40k players, casual MtG players, non-euro boardgame players, CYOA threads, people who actually play D&D, etc.

>>21666397
>/pol/
>average IQ of 93
Bullshit.

>>21666665
He's probably a satire tripfag. Catholic-Pedophile-Ridiculous Faux Romanoid-Etc. It's too obvious.

>>21666564
It's because the chart is fake. There is absolutely no way the average iq on this board is 147. That's roughly the 99.96th percentile. The average is probably closer to something like 110 at the very highest.

>>21667019
The average /pol/ reply is a few words. I ventured to the first thread on that godforsaken board and this was the context and intellectual discussions.

>>21666435
This is sadly true.
Very old stats and dubiously gathered in the first place
The rightwingers and the christfags and the qa refugees have turned the place into s4s with less anime and hentai… for now

>>21666397
i'm pretty sure this was many years ago. now people think posting on /lit/ is enough to be smart. it's important to call out your nearest retard whenever possible. i'm always more likely to reply to a longer post as the length quickly exposes pseuds and shitposters. writing shorter tends to hide errors; it's also a quicker dopamine hit for rejects looking for the next guy to vent on.

>>>/pol/ is that way

Where's /his/?

>How do I ascend and become a gigapilled bookworm?
first you stop being a /pol/tard, then you pick up a book. it's that simple.
if you can't focus because of your adhd brain, read more. if this doesn't work, go to locations that are convenient for reading, like libraries or trains.
some books are more difficult than others, a xix century political economy textbook is more difficult than something written recently

>>21666397
/sci/ is NOT that high

/lit/ fuckin rocks baby

>>21666397
Decrease all the IQs by 25 points and it's correct

I don't like reading primary sources

>>21667019
Every single insider-LARP thread on /pol/ gets hundreds of replies. I just found these active ones:
>>>/pol/416447630
>>>/pol/416433411
It's insane. Their IQs are so low that they fall for it every single time. Every single time. Why do they consider themselves smarter than blacks? They're clearly not.

>>21669201
do you have any proof those posts arent true?

>>21669253
Yes

>>21666397
>How do I ascend and become a gigapilled bookworm?
Read a lot of good old books. Now about the chart, why is wallpaper-general so high?

>>21666397
this chart is bullshit. /out/ is literally retarded

>>21669469
The chart is like 9 years old. See:

Your "skeptic" attitude is worse than the flat earth types if the goal is to find things out. Not if the goal is to protect your ego.

>>21666435
Further proof that this image is what catalyzed the /lit/ brain drain and /pol/ invasion of the past decade

>>21666397
/lit/ is full of people who literally cannot comprehend the mechanisms of evolution and who think that ancient myths contain information about the origins of the universe and existence itself. The IQ average of that board is absolutely sub 100.

>>21669723
Im not related to no monkeys.

Evolution is just a theory.

>>21669743
Gravity is just a theory too. Now go jump out of a ten story window.

>>21669754
No, you can feel gravity

>>21669754
Your own example illustrates the difference. You can test one very easily for yourself

>>21669765
>>21669769
These niggas don't know how to breed animals or do experiments with bacteria.

>>21669783
Micro vs macro evolution thoughbeit. I agree that evolution seems like the most likely explanation for the diversity of life but you cant really prove it

>>21669789
I agree, also, I've only felt gravity while being close to the ground. Even in a tall building, you're still close to the floor, so we can't really be sure that if you jump out the window that gravity will pull you down, can we?

>>21666397
>/ck/ above the weighted average
big doubt

>>21669797
You can drop something off the building, it's not the same. In the Hume sense you're right we cant know we'll fall but this is a different type of ambiguity than with evolution and other historically embedded things

>>21669817
You are extrapolating that because one thing happens, another thing is likely true? Interesting...

>>21669201
It’s an extremely popular board. Even if your retard tier bait only gets the dumbest 1% of posters, it’ll still easily hit the bump limit, and that’s not counting the people who intentionally take the bait and shitpost to wind others up.

What does it mean if I'm on /lit/ and /b/?

>>21669723
>how is having 1/7th of a penis advantageous
evolutionists can't answer this question

>>21667890
the /math/ general is why it is that high I imagine
