I was thinking about this. I went to university, and I worked in tech for decades. I met many assholes but I didn’t meet anyone that would fit on the left half of the bell curve (less than 100 iq).
Since I’ve been living in that bubble my entire life, I’m curious of your stories. Have you met someone who was actually quite dumb (not just having opinions you don’t agree with) and do you have an example situation you remember you can share?
Hopefully this becomes more funny than hateful since intelligence is not the value of a person, but it can be funny to read the stories.
I mean, it’s not like they carry a sign. Some actual mental handicaps can sort of get through the day with some supports. So, maybe you’re just not looking hard enough. If you’re going IQ you should use <85 or something, too, since <100 is literally half of the population.
On top of that, it’s really hard to tell between weird behavior because they’re dumb, they’re not really paying attention or they’re neuroatypical/mentally ill. I have better stories about supposedly intelligent people missing obvious things. (I star in many)
