I hate that I was born and raised and still live in America during a long period of sustained anti-intellectualism and watching the education system slowly collapse as IQ scores unilaterally drop is just a nightmareI would unironically rather be the dumbest person I know because at least then I would have some hope for the future of our fucking species and the longevity of our social infrastructure
>>83487877This is happening across the entire world though
>>83487877why do you care, though? what does it have to do with youwhy do you care about what other people (who aren't like you) are doing
>>83487893not evenly distributed and the USA is near the top of the bell curve when it comes to intellectual and academic mediocrity
>>83487898oh jeeze I don't know, disingenous room temp nigger retard who replies to threads saying "lole who cares" instead of just ignoring them, maybe sometimes humans are just driven to care about stupid useless shit even to the point of making slackjawed windowlicking replies that add nothing to a discussion except to lightly fellate their fragile overinflated egoidk maybe im just retarded xD
>>83487917room temp iq FUCKI just want people to at least TRY to be intelligent and aware and engaged socially. I don't care if that leads to a society full of pseuds, I can tolerate pseudointellectualism a lot better than anti-intellectualism
>>83487922you sound angry and i think this is coming from something personal
>>83487877I'd honestly consider it an advantage to be among the smartest people in a dumb shithole. I have an IQ of 128 in eastern EU and while it does get depressing sometimes, I'm able to achieve a lot with far less effort than others. Doing far better than my wage peers, simply through better decision-making. And since intelligence is correlated with a preference for solitude, I don't mind not having more than 3 people to regularly interact with. With so many brainlets around me, social interactions are usually disappointing anyway. Women are something I don't have any interest in, besides cooming to them.
>>83487939no shit??>>83487945I get very tired of feeling completely isolated. In my 35 years of being alive and having had actual lasting conversations online with easily thousands of people dating all the way back to when I was a pretentious little twat on MSN Messenger I have met maybe half a dozen people who I can say with confidence they were both genuinely intelligent and pleasant to speak with.If more people were smart then my options for companionship would open up immensely. I would like that. I don't need to have a stimulating intellectual discussion every single day and in fact that would be very tiring but I do wish the option was on the table more often.also let's just be real, stupid people are annoying and dangerous adult toddlers and it's a waste of resources and infrastructure to support so many of them
>>83487976I get your point but part of being intelligent is adapting. I figured out this stuff too, around my teens. So I accepted and adapted to it. Most people are dumb, extremely selfish and operate based on monkey brain emotional stimuli's. And because the elites want consumer worker drones, it's only going to get worse, sadly. It is what it is. I'd rather be one of the lone, rare awakened ones than part of the dumb herd, because having met plenty of them, they're absolutely not happy. They don't even realize how fucked up their lives are.
