The difference is you get called out on it if you make a mistake here. On /a/ no one contradicts anyone who is wrong and people just keep talking about topics they obviously know nothing about, just like they know nothing about valid critique in anime, but at least there they are confident enough to shit on each other.

The point isn't that your political ideology is fuck retarded. Obviously your political ideology is fuck retarded, obviously you are too stupid and hateful to see otherwise, discussing the issue is pointless.

The point is that most posters on /pol/ are completely fucking retarded. Even as the most deluded wannabe neo nazi on the entire internet, if you do not have a double digit IQ you should be able to recognize that most of the posters there are completely fucking retarded. In any thread, on any topic, if anyone makes an informed post that uses any logic or reasoning and isn't a senseless racist/sexist/antisemitic diatribe they get half a dozen illiterate retards too stupid to understand the message flinging shit. Even if they are trying to inject some brain cells into a discussion of some kiddie nazi shit.

What ideology might that be? You're acting as if /pol/ is a person with defined beliefs.

>Fuck, the fact that you are even trying to defend the intelligence of /pol/ shows you are probably among the low-end of the mouthbreathers yourself.
Where did I do that? Yes, /pol/ is full of retards, most of them disenfrenchised, but that's 4chan in general. If you think everyone is a "sensless stormfcuk faggot" then how are you any better than them calling niggers "subhuman monkeys"?

s4s-shitposters are geniuses. real geniuses. they know things before you even hear about them. they don't need information ressources, they calculate knowledge and chances like a savant.
the disadvantage is, to keep sane, they have to keep informaion low, and stick to tight patterns, so they won't get lost in a vast storm of incoming information inside their head.
what they do is post memes to keep the creativity and productivity busy, and check dubs to keep precise analysis of values warmed up.
it's all brain exercise.
why I'm able to explain this, is, because I am a drooling, nonsense-bubbling moron compared to them.

no, too many idiotic question threads are made for that. if you're just going by the regulars and people who answer the question threads, then /sci/ is by far the smartest board, yes.

/lit/ is full of pseudo-intellectuals, unsurprisingly

/biz/ can be smart on certain topics

i'd actually say /fit/ is pretty high up, whenever an employment thread or education thread comes up there's a huge number of people in well-paying jobs, or STEM students, or whatever. and the knowledgeable people post in science threads when they occasionally crop up.

/lit/ has really gone to shit and I stopped going there last year. The Marx circlejerks are disgustingly juvenile and the philosophy threads are nothing but uneducated fedora's quoting wikipedia articles they don't even understand. Actual literature discussion is limited to a handful of accepted meme authors who have daily threads which only consist of praising them and listing names of their works without ever talking about the contents. Any other author stays ignored. In addition the moderation on /lit/ is seemingly arbitrary, occasionally leaving up pure shitposting threads indefinitely while randomly deleting literature threads about authors or books the mod doesn't like.

All the /pol/ haters are like autistic children.

Yes, I know there are a lot of shit posters. That's alk of 4chan even here.

If you all really get so hurt about recognizing the differences between the races, then you desperately need to rethink your life.

Australian shitposting happens on all boards. On /pol/ it is very noteworthy. /lit/ is just so shit that even australians can't make it shittier.

Yes aussies are the absolute worst but /lit/ is slow enough that it doesn't matter. It's like rock sedimentation, just ignore and sift through the shit.

say what you will but I always found the people of /d/ to be extremely intelligent. Experts in their field, and wonderfully understanding in many affairs.

Fuck off, 95% of /pol/ can't even into basic statistics and biology. And when they make an attempt to expand beyond those two subjects they find themselves completely out of their element.

Especially with anything related to environmental science and world history.

Almost all of those posts I've seen are wrong and the posters never get called out on it, it's clear they aren't Physics majors, but those "self-study" idiots incorrectly applying unrelated equations and principles to try and be funny.

on average definitely /lit/. You can talk all you want about pseudointellectuals and shitposting, but that goes on here, too. I think more people on /lit/ know what they're talking about when it comes to difficult philosophical concepts than people here do when it comes to math/science. If we look at the top 1%, definitely here, since I know published researchers, postdocs, and multiple top program PhD program students who frequent here. I even know a tenured professor (young tenured professor - under 30. p smart guy) who posts here.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, epic joke m8.

/lit/ doesn't know shit about philosophy. They frequently mention names of famous philosophers from their high school history books to appear intellectual but in the end they're nothing more than fedoras quoting wikipedia. /lit/ literally cannot think for themselves. They treat philosophy like some kind of pokemon game. Absolutely disgusting.
