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.
This has to be bait
I promise it’s not! It really is about hearing funny stories.
I just think we tend to hang out with people of the same social class and may actually never encounter someone a bit dumb. Like I said, I really haven’t.
They say if you don’t know who the sucker is at a card table…
Anyway yeah you’ve probably just never ever ever met anyone who was even slightly below average intelligence. Statisticians might want to study your story
As someone who also went to a good university and worked in tech, it boggles my mind that someone with that experience could claim not to have met a dumb person. I have to question OP’s ability to judge intelligence. People from those social environments do at least have to develop the patina of not being a knuckle-dragger which some might be fooled by, but I’ve seen many cases of deep stupidity lurking behind that.
imagine you never went to school and work in septic system maintenance, and spend your entire life in one small suburban town, never really leaving unless you go on vacation once a year or so for a week.
can you imagine this person never meeting a dumb person? or maybe it’s that they wonder why people are so ignorant of septic systems and keep flushing weird shit down their toilets and fucking up their plumbing?
Yeah OP is the dumb one or just terrible at judging people’s level of dumb.
