Despite being a bunch of NEETs and faggots, I would argue that the average IQ of pol is relatively high, at least higher than the US average.

For one, although a lot of the views on here and pretty misguided, the arguments used to support them tend to be surprisingly well structured and thought out, albeit with cherrypicked evidence and some questionable sources.

I would also say the sense of humour on here is actually quite subtle and nuanced, which is a well known trait of high intelligence (when it isn't a shitpost or a pasta). For sure it is a league above the cringe self-deprecating humour that has infected most of the mainstream media.

This is without even going into the numerous examples of highly effective autism.

What d'you reckon? I would say maybe 102-105

Last time I checked I was in the 150's somewhere.

I highly doubt that, I always think I'm wrong. One of the reasons I identified with expressed views here is because they seem more 'right'. Got tired of being called 'wrong' for being practically, or realistically correct.

With 95% confidence I'm thinking maybe a light 96-115.

Average /pol/ IQ in the past: 130
Average /pol/ IQ now: 20

There was a time /pol/ could see through the likes of George Webb, Kim Dotcom, Joe Biggs, etc.

My clinical Stanford-Binet IQ is 160+, but that may have something to do with the fact I'd done a lot of informal IQ tests over the years before being assessed. I don't think much of it, and it certainly hasn't given me a life that could be described as a resounding success.

IQ is absolutely useless, or close to it, if you can't lead.

My brother is a born leader and makes a fortune, not very bright whatsoever but he can make/run a dream team and accomplish anything. I'm a fat NEET that passed his le mensa test at 21. He lives an infinitely better life than I live and makes ~3x more per week.

I did the mensa and military tests. I'm in the top 2% when it comes to "le IQ" but i'm in the bottom 20% of society easily. IQ matters far less than the ability to lead, and the ability to lead is far harder to master than pattern recognition, literacy, etc.

"Cherrypicked" implies the existence of contradictory evidence. I'm sick of people using this term like it's some magical trump card like "not an argument" or "nice ad hom bruh." Evidence isn't cherrypicked just because you're too stupid not to agree already with the argument's conclusion.

I've seen plenty of stuff over the years that suggests once you get to a certain point you're more likely to withdraw from society, live in your head, abuse drugs, etc.

The average IQ score for those browsing /pol/ is estimated to be close to 125. Before shitposting please consider the following.

Whenever a thread is started where the GATE conspiracy is brought up, (Gifted Education Programs), it is thrust to the top. This is because many of us have had some kind of experience with these programs. This should be clear evidence that the people who frequent this place are not average. They are either lower IQ than standard population or greater IQ. Now all we have to prove is our superiority.

The topics discussed here orbit around certain themes. Mainly Society, Race and Politics. Take note that these subjects are encompassed within Philosophy, Psychology and History. Each of these branches are pleb tier levels if taken at face value. But combined with an affinity for our traditions they become very powerful and deep. They also require a high level of intelligence to rationalize correctly.

A true sign of intelligence is the ability to hold separate competing ideas at the same time in order to figure out the truth. Well what do you think every post on this board does? They all start with some kind of sarcastic psedo-truth which is then demolished later on down as people find it's faults. OP never believed in the original post, but held the view anyway as devil's advocate in order to gain a better understanding. Sometimes the thread will even go full circle and people will begin defending the defunct idea. A double cross of reason and logic, finding arguments for a false conclusion. This is something lawyers, (A high IQ field), do regularly.

When this is combined with the way our board is set up, with conversations happening vertically and unconnected except for a hyperlink text near the top, we finally have the final proof. The posters here are able to hold multiple detailed conversations over a long period of time. With no reward other than a (you) seemingly.

Im sitting at around 140 but my short term memory retention is 78. Tested in 2003 for attention deficit disorder (predominantly inattentive, not hyperactive). Lady said that was the main gauge for it, that in one or two areas you have a major disparity.

Remembering little details about short stories and verbally described scenes was the real dealbreaker there. If I had to describe a crime scene to the police id get so much shit wrong if it wasnt for the adrenaline.

> to be fair there was a wide array of areas tested, most of them were in the 120 range, I go with the 140 Spatial one though because I was groggy that morning.

In prior years it was suspected that ive got Asbergers because of really shitty English and Speech class grades, but no formal diagnosis was made.

iq is relatively static, which is reinforced by the fact that many people do not actively train the skills that iq measures. iq's g factor is genuinely comprised of crystal and fluid intelligences, as far as I can recall. the crystal part can be more easily trained, and the fluid part can be exercised through practice as well, albeit with more effort. the theories about neurogenesis and glial cells (the ones that are essentially the single most important factor determining your general intelligence) doing fuckall later in life has been debunked; your brain keeps generating brain cells later in life.

>>128263186

pretty much. application (cf. EQ) is important. could similarly have a genetically
"built" body frame/bone structure, but neither exercise nor eat properly, and the result would still be a physical mess. that having been said, plop a high IQ person into a novel situation, and they will most likely have an edge in survival, due to their ability to innovate (highly correlated with pattern recognition).

It should be noted that I've upvoted every single person who's disagreed with me here, as far as I know.

That said.

In 7th grade, I took an SAT test without preparing for it at all, it was spur-of-the-moment, I knew about it about an hour ahead of time and didn't do any research or anything. I scored higher on it than the average person using it to apply for college in my area.
An IQ test has shown me to be in the 99.9th percentile for IQ. This is the highest result the test I was given reaches; anything further and they'd consider it to be within the margin of error for that test.

My mother's boyfriend of 8 years is an aerospace engineer who graduated Virginia Tech. At the age of 15, I understand physics better than him, and I owe very little of it to him, as he would rarely give me a decent explanation of anything, just tell me that my ideas were wrong and become aggravated with me for not quite understanding thermodynamics. He's not particularly successful as an engineer, but I've met lots of other engineers who aren't as good as me at physics, so I'm guessing that's not just a result of him being bad at it.

I'm also pretty good at engineering. I don't have a degree, and other than physics I don't have a better understanding of any aspect of engineering than any actual engineer, but I have lots of ingenuity for inventing new things. For example, I independently invented regenerative brakes before finding out what they were, and I was only seven or eight years old when I started inventing wireless electricity solutions (my first idea being to use a powerful infrared laser to transmit energy; admittedly not the best plan).

I have independently thought of basically every branch of philosophy I've come across. Every question of existentialism which I've seen discussed in SMBC or xkcd or anywhere else, the thoughts haven't been new to me. Philosophy has pretty much gotten trivial for me; I've considered taking a philosophy course just to see how easy it is.

>>128264416
Psychology, I actually understand better than people with degrees. Unlike engineering, there's no aspect of psychology which I don't have a very good understanding of. I can debunk many of even Sigmund Freud's theories.

I'm a good enough writer that I'm writing a book and so far everybody who's read any of it has said it was really good and plausible to expect to have published. And that's not just, like, me and family members, that counts strangers on the Internet. I've heard zero negative appraisal of it so far; people have critiqued it, but not insulted it.

I don't know if that will suffice as evidence that I'm intelligent. I'm done with it, though, because I'd rather defend my maturity, since it's what you've spent the most time attacking. The following are some examples of my morals and ethical code.

I believe firmly that everybody deserves a future. If we were to capture Hitler at the end of WWII, I would be against executing him. In fact, if we had any way of rehabilitating him and knowing that he wasn't just faking it, I'd even support the concept of letting him go free. This is essentially because I think that whoever you are in the present is a separate entity from who you were in the past and who you are in the future, and while your present self should take responsibility for your past self's actions, it shouldn't be punished for them simply for the sake of punishment, especially if the present self regrets the actions of the past self and feels genuine guilt about them.

Yes fluid intelligence gets lower, not crystallised intelligence -- this idea is already pretty much mainstream.

>>128264465
I don't believe in judgement of people based on their personal choices as long as those personal choices aren't harming others. I don't have any issue with any type of sexuality whatsoever (short of physically acting out necrophilia, pedophilia, or other acts which have a harmful affect on others - but I don't care what a person's fantasies consist of, as long as they recognize the difference between reality and fiction and can separate them). I don't have any issue with anybody over what type of music they listen to, or clothes they wear, etc. I know that's not really an impressive moral, but it's unfortunately rare; a great many people, especially those my age, are judgmental about these things.

I love everyone, even people I hate. I wish my worst enemies good fortune and happiness. Rick Perry is a vile, piece of shit human being, deserving of zero respect, but I wish for him to change for the better and live the best life possible. I wish this for everyone.

I'm pretty much a pacifist. I've taken a broken nose without fighting back or seeking retribution, because the guy stopped punching after that. The only time I'll fight back is if 1) the person attacking me shows no signs of stopping and 2) if I don't attack, I'll come out worse than the other person will if I do. In other words, if fighting someone is going to end up being more harmful to them than just letting them go will be to me, I don't fight back. I've therefore never had a reason to fight back against anyone in anything serious, because my ability to take pain has so far made it so that I'm never in a situation where I'll be worse off after a fight. If I'm not going to get any hospitalizing injuries, I really don't care.

The only exception is if someone is going after my life. Even then, I'll do the minimum amount of harm to them that I possibly can in protecting myself. If someone points a gun at me and I can get out of it without harming them, I'd prefer to do that over killing them.
I consider myself a feminist. I don't believe in enforced or uniform gender roles; they may happen naturally, but they should never be coerced into happening unnaturally. As in, the societal pressure for gender roles should really go, even if it'll turn out that the majority of relationships continue operating the same way of their own accord. I treat women with the same outlook I treat men, and never participate in the old Reddit "women are crazy" circlejerk, because there are multiple women out there and each have different personalities just like there are multiple men out there and each with different personalities. I don't think you do much of anything except scare off the awesome women out there by going on and on about the ones who aren't awesome.
That doesn't mean I look for places to victimize women, I just don't believe it's fair to make generalizations such as the one about women acting like everything's OK when it's really not (and that's a particularly harsh example, because all humans do that).

I'm kind of tired of citing these examples and I'm guessing you're getting tired of reading them, if you've even made it this far. In closing, the people who know me in real life all respect me, as do a great many people in the Reddit brony community, where I spend most of my time and where I'm pretty known for being helpful around the community. A lot of people in my segment of the community are depressed or going through hard times, and I spend a lot of time giving advice and support to people there. Yesterday someone quoted a case of me doing this in a post asking everyone what their favorite motivational/inspirational quote was, and that comment was second to the top, so I guess other people agreed (though, granted, it was a pretty low-traffic post, only about a dozen competing comments).

And, uh, I'm a pretty good moderator.

Agree.

Also I would say most of the Low IQ users constitute Shills who are literally following a script and therefore arent even interacting intelligently (its not their own intelligence that is being demonstrated).

That bumps up the actual IQ of /pol/ users even more, for those who actually give a shit to type authentic posts.

> I notice a disturbing trend of being a /thread ender.

> I may post a couple times on a thread that was going steady. My honest advice. And nobody else posts in that thread after that and it dies.

> Is it because all of the participants were just Shills bantering with each other and someone real responded, so they all shut up?

Holding multiple competing ideas at the same time?

I would say ive actually learned some things, particularly about NS and Hitler, because of that. The ability to suspend an immediate knee jerk response to play devil's advocate, well it allows you to pay attention long enough to notice something that you may not have noticed before.

puzzles and games such as that are good for the mind, as are proper diet and exercise. so, we are in agreement? the only additional corollary I am stating is that you won't see "massive" gains in iq unless you had some severe nourishment/health issues that had to be corrected. 120 to 133 through standard deviation (usually +/- 12 on something like SB?) and hard work? sure. yet, I would highly doubt that someone could alter their iq from, say 85, to 150. psychometric tests are designed to be statistically resistant, and moving up that many standard deviations would be exceedingly improbable.

really?
okay lets analyze what the actual problem with capitalism is
lets see here
PROFIT MAXIMIZATION
its a terrible way to improve a nation, if this is the only driving factor behind change
profit maximization leads to subversion of a nations culture, by replacement with "consumer culture" which elicits more spending/consumption, so the big businesses can make a profit.
Examples of consumer culture being mcdonalds, clothes brands, apple,

in other areas too, profit maximization doesnt lead to an increase in quality, but increase in shiftiness of methods to get people to BUY
look up edward bernays, he is essentially the poster child for this kind of marketing that has ruined capitalism

sure, in concept, economically, it sounds logical, but in practice people try to find the easiest ways to make money, and that might mean importing millions of third world immigrants to work in their factories for cheaper.

You're correct that profit maximization doesn't always benefit the people.

It's important for the government to regulate capitalistic systems so that it doesn't go out of control.
This means breaking up monopolies and having rules against pollution or having rules about where ads can be placed. etc.
I'm totally fine with the idea of regulations.

The true defining property of a capitalistic system is that people don't have to give money unless they want to. If you agree with that, I would say you're a capitalist.

The structure of capitalism is:
1. a person wants to make a business
2. he tries to find someone to fund his venture (a bank loan or a capitalist)
3. the bank demands interest on the loan, the capitalist may demand some share of the company.

This is the structure you should criticize if you want to criticize capitalism.

It's almost as if capitalism isn't a way to "improve a nation", because it doesn't have built-in value judgments. Now that I think of it, it's almost as if economic systems that are based on value-judgments rather than reality fail miserably both in generating economic prosperity AND in improving society in general. Say, what if people took it upon themselves to better their societies by exercising their economic power intelligently instead of trying to build a magic economic system that would do it for them?

so you are anti-taxation?
i believe taxation can lead to many beneficial things
the government is essentially a business model, a non-profit business model. this means they can provide services without the same need to be making excess money.
Governments can provide things like electricity, water, gas, internet, and other utilities better than private corporations simply due to the fact that there is no profit motive
Regulations are, of course, fine by me. The defining feature, as i see it, is that i believe in state competition to all business sectors.

Also the land belongs to the people, mining companies are exploitative and do not benefit the people in the same way that a state mining program would.

No. I said there's nothing inherent in capitalism that makes a nation better or worse, and this is by design. It economically empowers people. How they use their economic power is up to them. They can use it to destroy a nation, or to make it better.

>also saying that people in a capitalistic system should go against the economic system because you have to go against it to build a better nation

The capitalistic economic system doesnt fail if people have a low quality of life, it fails if profits are not made and economic transactions go down.
It will not correct if the system makes profit, but also in the meantime causing everyone to be fat shits with diabetes and other profitable diseases, and having everyone eat mcdonalds all day every day. In that case the capitalistic system would be thriving

>>128268074
>How they use their economic power is up to them.
It is up to them, and it just so happens that profits can only be maximized to the DETRIMENT of a nation. This simple fact proves that capitalism does have something inherent that causes a nation to become worse.
consumer culture is not healthy for a nation, but it is what the capitalistic system produces naturally

>people in a capitalistic system should use their economic power to promote things they deem good
yeah but it is not PROFITABLE to do this, the whole capitalistic system is based on "whatever is most profitable, will occur"
For your idealistic version of capitalism to work, it would require the whole population to always be thinking about what is best for my nation what will improve it most, but that is false, there are so many retards out there that listen to the ads and marketing campaigns, get diabeetus, and spend the rest of their lives paying their insulin costs while working their shitty 9 to 5 job -- THATS PROFITABLE and thats what happens

>Governments can provide things like electricity, water, gas, internet, and other utilities better than private corporations simply due to the fact that there is no profit motive

I think this is true in the short term, but in the long term if you have competition, the for-profit companies are going to innovate better ways to do things, whereas the government institution has no incentive to do that.
Any overly oppressive practices by these companies can be regulated.

>>128267620

>>128267620
>Also the land belongs to the people, mining companies are exploitative and do not benefit the people in the same way that a state mining program would.

I don't know if I agree with this. It sounds like you're saying the land belongs to the state. I would say the land belongs to the people in so far as the actions taken upon the land affect the people generally. In other words: If the mining company causes collateral damage to a community, then the community has some right to veto an action or charge the company money for doing it, etc.
But I don't think it's a good idea to say that people don't own the land they live on. I like the idea of land as property.

in my previous post i provided an example, i will restate it.
Consumer culture is something that is created naturally in a capitalistic system. It is a culture designed to maximize profits by subverting loyalty to culture with brand loyalty. A good example is clothes brands, and the fashion industry.
another example is immigration, if it is most profitable for a country to have lots of third world workers to do all the labour work for cheap, then that is what will happen. You will have immigrants flooding the country to take jobs for low wages. and on top of that immigrants provide even MORE consumers to buy the produced goods, thereby maximizing profits even further

>You didn't understand what I said.
i absolutely did. You are saying that ideally, the people in a capitalistic system know what they are doing when they are using their economic power, and they should not be manipulated by marketing campaigns. and purchase to the benefit of themselves
however you are wrong because people dont KNOW what is best for themselves. there are so many examples of this.
people get TOLD what is best for themselves. Look up edward bernays.

this is why private utilities are not banned, socialist economics allows for a mixed model of these kinds of things. where the government provides a service, non profit, and corporations are allowed to compete with that service.

>the government institution has no incentive to do that.
actually they do, the government (ideally) wants to cut costs as much as any other private enterprise, and many scientific breakthroughs are funded by the government too.
think about it, technological improvements are beneficial for a whole nation so the government should subsidize all kinds of technology.

>But isn't the state essentially a giant monopoly?
no, not really. The state can provide competition to the private sector, as in public schooling, socialized healthcare, and a wide array of other things.

>Whatever finance a company can bring to a situation, the state will have much more money available.
Isnt this just the free market in action then? a company could compete with the state if it was non-profit too.

>I like the idea of land as property.
And this is fine, but mining companies (at least here in australia) dont OWN the land they mine, its rented in a sort of deal from the government. I would be fine if the mining companies purchased the land, and the land was put up for sale at a similar price to the value of what was in it. Mining companies, through this deal, make a lot of profits that go into the pockets of big businesses, not the people of the country who the land is publicly shared between.

I did not "describe how i see the current situation"
I described 2 aspects where capitalism only brings detriment to a nation
I pointed out the consumer culture created by capitalism, which is something that only causes detriment. You cannot be a capitalistic economic power holder and promote authentic, native culture. Choose christmas for example, it has been subverted into a materialistic consumerist method to sell cheap bits of plastic and increase consumption
You are being a real fucking goldberg with your blissful ignorance of what i say here.

Okay lets go,
Private central banks are abominations, nationalizing banks is the only sensible way to deal with a nations currency.
And not only nationalizing the banks, but keeping it under control of the government, so no jew meddling can occur.
Currency must be issued as needed, and deflation should never occur in a nation. Inflation is not as bad as the federal reserve would like you to believe.
In fact, inflation causes the value of DEBT to decrease in value, meaning the jew loses its investments.
Currency is the life blood of an economy, so a free market of competing currencies should be encouraged.

People aren't smart, people are persuaded by marketing campaigns. marketing campaigns cause the people to exercise their economic power irresponsibly, they are manipulated into buying things they dont need. How else do you explain people buying $1000 Shirts?
Before capitalism, people exercised their economic power within smaller communities, and they were persuaded by culture or family instead of big corporate marketing campaigns. Capitalism causes marketing and advertising, which is a perversion of the natural usage of economic power.

well thats not what you asked me to prove now is it you big doofus
my premise, in case you missed it all 5 times ive repeated it now, is this.
>When economic power holders use their power, it just so happens that in many cases profit can only be maximized to the DETRIMENT of a nation.
To give an example of this, i pointed out the consumer culture created by capitalism. I explained how this process works, by employing marketing campaigns and using propaganda tactics to lead the people to spend their money on useless things.
This creates a consumerist culture, where shirts sell for $1000 because the consumer was so indoctrinated they thought that piece of clothing was actually WORTH it. A Consumerist culture is very opposite to authentic culture, as authentic culture is not materialistic. Cultural subversion can not create an authentic culture while still providing profit maximization to the big businesses, because authentic culture does not elicit the purchasing of useless things. Authentic culture is axiomatically important to a nations art, music, and plays a large part in societies cohesion. Because of this, economic power holders, when using their power to affect culture (by means of marketing campaigns), can only be detrimental to the culture of a nation, and in turn the nation itself.

Well, ~1% of people have an IQ of 140 or higher, so if you meet only 100 truly random people in your lifetime, that is statistically true. I would be willing to guess that the people you meet are not truly random, and that you will meet more than 100.

Realistically, you'll truly get to know 1000 people in a lifetime. The smartest of which will be in the 99.9th percentile, equivalent to an IQ of 147, if the average IQ of interaction is 100. If the average IQ of interaction is shifted upwards five points, we would expect a (roughly) five point increase, or an IQ of 153.
