If you're not actually intelligent nothing will work.
As soon as a normie sees you reading in public they will ask you about what you are reading, and it will be very apparent by your response if you are actually a brainlet.

Reading pretentious books in public only fools morans. Most discerning people will see through your tactic. If you really want to appear smart just remember that the less you say the better you can hide your foolishness.

>> No.12475536

>>12472217
That is not true. It is really advantageous to be perceived as intelligent by your peers. I got quite a few opportunities in this lifetime just by looking smart and not being a cunt about it. Hardly ever had to prove it, also.
