I'm 35 and I've never been particularly high IQ, anon. I'm about 112-115 or something like that. Just a bit above 100.
But you know what, brother? Every year I feel smarter.

I went back to college to get a degree in engineering. None of the students understand what a vector is. They can't write a line of code in Python.
I'm seriously considering dropping out because the courses are so boring and we're spending 40 hours to learn
>import numpy as np
>print(np.pi)
We literally spent the entire first week just installing Anaconda on everyone's laptop. After 2 weeks people are still asking "hey teacher what does the np mean?"

And all my classmates think I'm some kind of a genius. Every day they come to me
>d00d how did u know dat? have u studied dis shit before?

I get the feeling that during the last 15 years humanity has gotten dumber so my IQ 115 is now more than it used too.
So if I just wait long enough, I'll be the smartest guy in the world.

Tf sort of college do you go to, to be filled with this kind of retardation?

People just don't "get" programming for some reason. I remember trying to explain functions to someone in an intro class and they just weren't understanding at all. Like they didn't get why you would want a function to begin with.

this. during an introductory course in embedded systems some people in my class were just completely incapable of understanding even the simplest circuit diagrams. these people werent *dumb* in the slightest, some of them probably smarter than me, but i guess some peoples brain just tune out when confronted with these types of abstractions. maybe its because they lack an internal referent for understanding them?

getting coding doesn't really have anything to do with iq (nor does anything that matters really) but i'm happy for you unc those youngouns really do sound a bit dense i mean my programming class was back breaking work (as much as pushing buttons on keyboard can be) but i understood how basic aspects of the code worked i just had trouble putting them together and breaking the process down into a form the computer could understand.

>"hey teacher what does the np mean?"
gee i dunno maybe you should ask Mr. Bar, first name Foo sounds like the kinda question that'd be right up his alley kek

Yeah, I mean, if you're the last guy standing, you would be. But then you'd also be the dumbest guy in the world, so maybe a mixed success.

This. Kids today also dont understand math. They can memorize it to an extent but they never really get those abstract concepts.
99.99% of modern people don't know what a gradient is.

>zoomers have taken genders and sexualities down to an abstract science

>but cant understand basic math

FUUUUUCK

>>82467260
probably just a covid issue, colliding with a lot of other sources of laziness and retardation like AI and general belief that everything is a scam.

There are so many things going on simultaneously that cement the reality that the current generation will be the dumbest of all time.
