How do you deal with being around a lot of stupid people? I don't mean regular people who just happen to not be geniuses, I mean genuinely stupid and ignorant people who actively refuse to attain knowledge, who are proud of their idiocy.

140 IQ here. How do I stop being around people such as yourself who are genuinely stupid and ignorant of their lack of superiority?

Go to MIT.

If you can't keep better company, there here's my take on it:

1) Don't hate them. This is hard, but try to understand them, what they value, etc. Not whatever retarded beliefs they hold - what they really fundamentally value. Find common ground.
2) Share something good that speaks to that common value. You can change what people think this way, but you have to understand them first.

Or, as mentioned, just find more reasonable people to hang out with.

Yes, we all like to say "haha everyone on 4chan is a retard but me" but we know it's not true. It's one of the smarter parts of the internet, even if only because illiterate or dumb posts are immediately torn to shreds by others.
There may be many posters with shitty opinions here but few who are geniune idiots.

Nah. Youtube doesn't have as much gore, CP, or furries.

I try to screw up their lives without them noticing, sometimes with the effects being years later. It's actually quite fun.
