stupid people have the need to believe they are smart stupid people think they are intelligent when they "know" things ... doesn't matter if what they know is something anybody can look up in under 5 seconds like what city is the capital of Belarus or something. if they "know" that Minsk is the capital of Belarus they feel they are "smart" and thus cults are based around people trying to feel smart about "knowing" something. examples: Turdsla cult based around people "knowing" that Turdsla is so futuristic and moar advanceder than "legacy" automakers ( all BS of course ) Buttcoin cult based around people "knowing" that government bad, money fiat, talking about math makes people think you're smart ... some of these things actually true but do not lead to the conclusions espoused by Buttcoiners basically all movements are just a bunch of retards coming together to congratulate each other on how intelligent they are and sucking each other's balls

you arent wrong about that. its mostly just data recall and not actual understanding. its a weird time where having info is mistaken for being smart.

that's what kids are indoctrinated into believing in school that IQ is "racist" and what actually matters is being "educated" ( memorizing lies government tells you via the "education" system )

it's a massive Dunning-Kruger effect across the whole platform honestly. knowledge isn't wisdom, and way too many people confuse the two. it's exhausting trying to hold an actual debate anymore.

True. It's often just data recall being confused for actual critical thinking. Makes for a really boring conversation too.

Fair enough, everyone has their own version of 'smart'. It's subjective anyway.

knowledge can be wisdom if it is secret knowledge but knowing something that can be googled in 5 seconds is worthless the things most people are proud of knowing is stuff everyone is told, that in most cases isn't even true which is to say most people are worthless

yes i don't see the point of restating what is already commonly believed if you can't say something shocking why speak at all

most people would argue that if not IQ then it is success that measures one's intelligence but @9d065f84…b1b2201b suggested that it may be happiness rather than success you need intelligence to succeed you need to succeed in order to be happy so happiness is the ultimate metric - which is why everybody PRETENDS to be happy in public then kill themselves in private @3134f9d3…5e54c3d8
