Anyone here in Mensa? What is it like? Should I try to join?

Do it, if you're capable of it.

You send money to a company for a card that says "congrats you're smart".

You decide if it''s worth it.

It's like the Boy Scouts for people with high IQ.

If you're really smart try to make the difference in the world we live in... Or just become a billionaire and buy me a cat.

Cats are usually free or really cheap if you adopt one that already has its shots.

oops. I meant car. lol

Hi Anon.
I have a deep respect for wisdom, intelligence, learning, and life experience.
And in my life, I've known* a few people who have been awarded (taken a test by post that they could have cheated on and then paid for - whatever) membership in Mensa.
How did I know they were in Mensa?
They told me.
Always in a way that was either barely appropriate to the context of the conversation or (more often) entirely unnecessary and conspicuously self-aggrandizing.
My 2 cents - let your life, your deeds, and the good cheer that you bring to others be your testimony.

* - I strongly suspect that I may have known/do know other people who are in Mensa, but they are confident enough not to flaunt their intellect.

Circle jerks, cheezy puzzle solving competitions, and IQ-tests. Even the founder expeessed disappointment with the glorified autist sandbox that Mensa turned out to be.

Mensa is shit and has always been shit. The whole pipe dream was that smart people would join this clubhouse and use their magic smart powers to power a think tank that would tackle various social and other issues. That shit never happened, because it turns out that autists like rearranging penrose tiles and playing Go more more than tackling real, complex issues. Who knew....

Why? It's whole existence is pointless, cringe worthy and pretentious
