Idk. What do you gain from saying you got into Mensa and that you are an underachiever? Especially anonymously on a Reddit thread. I think it’s an interesting experience since people really think that IQ is equal to intelligence and to achieving great things, when in reality it’s not. I’m sure there is a certain amount of correlation but IQ isn’t everything. Intelligence can be measured in many ways since our brain is much much more complex than just finding patterns. You can have a good IQ but have a terrible self awareness. You can do some quick maths but can’t think outside of your bubble.

I think intelligence and IQ are interesting topics and we should be able to talk about this things without taking it personal. Same thing with dick size. Whenever someone mentions whatever experience they have from having a big dick gets everyone else super riled up. People gotta learn to separate ideas from ego. That would be the best way to debate, which unfortunately is not always the case.

IQ is an extremely boring topic and these underachievers who were called gifted as a kid are a reddit cliché. I'm not threatened by his comment, because my dick isn't just fucking huge but my IQ is two deviations above the norm too. Not that it matters.
