>retarded drug dealers are actually le smart and philosophicalBreaking Bad mogs this shit
They are portrayed as literal retards.
>>221286434we wuz philosophers
>>221286434To be fair, the IQ of the average ghetto drug dealer absolutely mogs the average IQ in white countries in the time of minds like Socrates
>>221286565You sure? If so that must’ve been really rough for Plato and the gang
>>221286451This. The whole chess analogy was a display of how simple-minded D is, not some profound metaphor, you’re a literal retard if you think it’s remotely deep. He just thinks he has all this knowledge now because he was locked up and learned to play chess in the clink, that’s the point of the scene.
You'd kind of expect the gangsters and drug dealers to be among the top percentile IQ of the ghetto.Below the ones that get out but higher than everyone else.
>>221286597Plato said a lot of stupid shit, it just didn't make it down to us because it was retarded and everyone dismissed it. Classic case of survivorship bias, Plato was a comparable to a modern day midwit.
>>221286434I don't know why people hate this scene when all 3 of them have bad outcomes.
>>221286624why? theyre retarded that just want to make money right away rather than having any idea of delayed gratification>get shot>poisons their community>gets imprisoned faggots
>>221286434Why do people think playing chess makes you seem smart?
>>221286997Cause they don't know how to play it and it's a strategic game, with no random chance involved, so winning is about out-thinking your opponent. This really means you only have to be smarter than your opponent to win, not necessarily smart in general. It's easy to appear smart when you're surrounded by idiots. That's usually how TV writers portray smart people.
>>221286624Not really. The upper echelon of the gang, perhaps, but they could also just be extremely ruthless psychopaths who get lucky enough to have corrupt law enforcement when they came to power in the gang resulting in an era of lax enforcement / collusion with their activities. Their relative success compared to their peers shouldn't be mistaken for superior intelligence, since thriving gangs are usually a sign of a lack of will to enforce the law than any particular industry or genius on the part of criminals. Usually their activities are well documented, there's simply no will to make arrests and prosecute them because it's easier to deal with the criminals you know and understand than to create power vacuums.
>>221287065>with no random chance involvedShithead
>>221286434>>221286997>>221287065Imagine being so retarded you think understanding how to play the game chess means you are le smart
>>221286985They get wealth and status in their community. A lot more than any of the people they're selling to, and even the ones working low income jobs but breaking no laws.Like I said the smartest get out the ghetto, but these are going to be the next up on the totem pole of IQ and ability.High risk high reward propositions don't only appeal to stupid people. Aversion to risk is very culturally dependent. 120 IQ anglo americans used to regularly bring their entire families into Indian infested territories, risk all of them being raped and tortured death, just for a chance at some cheap land.
>>221287239Please enlighten me as to the random chance involved in chess. Do go on.
>>221287312if you play blitz you can guess wrong on a premove and end up getting sunk by what would normally be a blunder by your opponent, if it had occurred in an untimed game there are other examples but this is the first to occur to me
>>221287135>Their relative success compared to their peers shouldn't be mistaken for superior intelligence, since thriving gangs are usually a sign of a lack of will to enforce the law than any particular industry or genius on the part of criminals.The biggest thing you're overlooking here is that with organized crime criminals compete with each other, not just against law enforcement.
Why was this guy so happy when he busted Orlando? It's like he got joy from his suffering.
>>221287366I don't think criminal IQ is any more correlated to success than IQ in the straight world. It is probably helpful up to a point, but the very pinnacles of success are not determined by intelligence and the most intelligent are probably, counterintuitively, more unlikely to occupy those spaces.
>>221287354>if you play blitzIf you're going to bring up special rules then there's no point talking with you. I said to explain what elements of random chance exist in chess. The actual game, not arbitrary tournament rules.
>>221287366And the primary way they compete against each other is with violence, it doesn't really require much intellect. Maybe a low cunning to lay an ambush or lure somebody into a trap where they can be killed. There's not much need for intelligence when you can simply kill your terrorize your enemies into submission.
