Has /sci/ ever read his works? This man's IQ is literally the highest(max score). The test was for the military, if I remember correctly. He learned words very fast, got himself around physics and meta-physics as soon as he could. There is a collection of his old books and notes on kindle called: "Portable Chris Langan"

Is this IQ obsession an American thing?

No person has mentioned it here during my education in the UK at a top uni, or in my time at second level.

The attitude towards being smart here is one of 'study more', not 'my IQ is 150 but I'm just lazy lol'. Something's wrong with you faggots

I've been on sci for about two years friendo

It's not just a meme either, one of my emails gets a Quora newsletter and every single one has about three stupid IQ questions like "What's Elon Musk's IQ?" "What would an IQ of 1000 be like?", "What's it like having a high IQ?" etc.

Do most US schools give kids IQ tests or is it literally just people with high IQs stroking themselves and spouting it across the internet?

Nice try.

I used it to view a question about projects you could work on with C that use graphic libraries and, since you need to make an account to use it, I made an account and now receive these emails.

You compsci faggots make me laugh

americans quantize everything. It is due to their lack of vocabulary and it is part of their faith in their fantasy that science gives truth, especially through mathematics.

the biggest burden on western society is actually euro numales in my experienced opinion. the pear shaped, 50/50 anime intro/death metal listening, absolute drudges of society. they are the ones that buy into racial supremacy, IQ as racial validation, the propagation of western entitlement.

this small and weak demographic has voiced themself so strongly through the internet that they have reformatted many western minds. if i didnt think they were tricked into it by social scientists, i would unhesitantly call them the initial vector of western degeneracy
