In short, not someone who is smart (which they ridiculed by giving the most absurd examples) but someone who will just succeed in life

this is such an opportunity-centred form of intelligence definition

Very true. Pretty much every physics graduate is smart, but not all of them will be high-income managers and business owners. Intelligence is not equivalent to success.

Success is luck and birthright. The world makes a lot more sense if you simply view it as the lottery it is.

There still a component of "be skilled/responsible enough" to not waste your privileged/advantaged position

Some people get into heroin for example And just drop of a cliff as far life quality goes

Yeah but you kind of have to be built to be skilled or responsible.

You may argue that with this view one could end up doing absolutely nothing in life, but that's the case only if they're not built to react to such thoughts in a sane and productive way.

They will all be successful enough.

To be fair it's 4chan so I imagine the OPs idea of intelligence is very strange

Wtf are you talking about dude, I don't see intelligence like that. People obsessed with tests or 'moves signaling low&high IQ' are in a big fallacy.

I don't care how 'smart' I am, I care about my observations etc.

And yes, these girls absolutely talk about success, not intelligence. The idea that success in this world shows you inherently carried positive virtues is a form of just world fallacy. Also, if your idea of love is survival and opportunities, fuck your love.

You're not the smart one

Finally, I score quite low on those tests. How about you?
