There are plenty of things I dont know, but I have a high enough IQ that I can learn any of them if I choose to. If it's incredibly complex you might need to bring me up to speed on prerequisite knowledge, but I'll pick it up quickly.

However, there are plenty of low IQ people out there who struggle to manage basic tasks and are incapable of learning complex ones. I'm not a theoretical physicist because that sounds like a boring way to imvest my time, but the average mouthbreather isnt because they flunked out of fifth grade algebra and couldnt become one if they tried.

What is it like to be low IQ? Do you have a conscious awareness of what is possible, but are aware you arent capable of it? E.g. the way I can look at a 600 barbell and understand how someone else would lift it, despite lacking the roids and edge case genetics to do so?

Or do you drift through life like a dream where other people do things that might as well be magic because you cant conceive of how they do them? E.g. if you see a train floating in a dream you wouldnt think to ask "how", you just acknowledge that it does by magic. Do low IQ people make the same handwave assumption IRL? "Oh, floating train? Magic!" Rather than thinking through it logically to determine if it there's a concealed rail they missed, or an overhead cable, or maglev system relying upon superconductors, or somesuch?

Generally, no internal dialogue (voice in your head).

Incapable of complex thought and logical reasoning.

Acting on emotion and impulse rather than reason.

Vulnerable to scams, manipulation, and exploitation (simple lies or propaganda) that the rest of us would laugh at.

Incompatibility with complex first world societies unless roles are strictly defined by more intelligent overseers.

To me the unifying attribute is an inability to focus. Impulses, emotions, other thoughts, etc. constantly intrude on their attempts to stack more than a few seconds of thought on one problem to solve.

Something about the internal monolog really strikes me as off and inherently suspicious.

Apparently of you are able to hear words as you read them you have an internal monologue.

It blows my mind that some people or niggers have no internal dialogue. I can't imagine living without one.

Now, how would you feel if you didn't have breakfast this morning?

That video and question is a pretty good example if you want to see what below average IQ is like. They simply do not have the ability to understand or even try to. They are not aware that it is possible to think about an abstract question or idea. What is, is and that is it.

I was about to cite this, but couldn’t remember where I saw it. Wasn’t this a study they did on inmates with particularly low IQ’s?

If I remember correctly, they asked them “how would you feel if you didn’t eat breakfast this morning?” and the person would respond “what you talkin bout dawg I did eat breakfast this moanin and sheeeeit”.

And then they’d be like “Yes Tyrone I realize that you ate breakfast but how would you feel if you didn’t eat breakfast?”

And then Tyrone would get pissed and accuse them of “fuckin wit me dawg.”

Tyrone couldn’t even wrap his head around a hypothetical what-if scenario.

If that’s true, that is some fascinating shit.

It’s also scary AF because these people vote and are allowed to own guns and procreate..that is, unless and until they have those rights stripped via the legal system..but even then, they just carry on as if nothing changed.

The example I gave was in a courtroom with a judge asking a black youth the question. It's painful to watch if you have a brain. I'll see if I can find the clip and will update later.

But I did have breakfast.

I think low IQ are blessed in that their reality is where they are, whereas higher IQ waste time fretting about what could/should be. Knowledge can be a curse in that regard, and it is why the black pill hurts to swallow.

Ignorance is bliss - very true words.

High IQ is also susceptible to all the tricks in academia and the allure of central planning.

Blessing and a curse it seems.

Question is, would you give up high IQ to be complacent and non caring? Seems to be better for spreading your genes.

[–] • 2 pts

I would rather suffer then to be ignorant.

Whites started out in Europe then spread around the whole world: America, New Zeeland, Australia, South Africa and so on. UK conquered 25% of Earth. Intelligence is the best aphrodisiac.

This explains it quite well in regards to glancing at the entire picture https://pic8.co/sh/IgHDvN.jpg

Those numbers are curious. If true, if a population constantly is made to lose 3 IQ points then gain them back, every one of those metrics will keep improving. e.g. poverty rate starts at 1.0, becomes 1.11 after 3 IQ drop, then becomes 0.83 after rising back to the original IQ (1.11*075).

There's this tendency with humans to think everyone is more or less on their level until proven otherwise. Low IQ people get confused by the high IQ people and sometimes think the high IQ people are actually secretly dumb and are just putting on airs.

Meanwhile the high IQ people can't really believe that the low IQ people are really that dumb and think they must be faking it for some kind of social benefit.

Low IQ people have more people that they can relate with while high IQ people will have more difficulty finding equals or those who are more intelligent than they are.

Oh and everyone likes to think they are smarter than they are, however the smarter people are the more they realize they don't know.

Shits wild man.

Bottom line is this. If you’re low iq you simply can’t understand why others are better than you or why you keep getting fooled or “bested” by them. High value opposite sex will always pass on you and you’ll be simply not able to understand why.

Well, once I wake up and am done picking my nose, I kick the dog, crack a beer and get ready for work on the farm, which totally doesn't have any high tech stuff. After lunch, (fresh killed road possum) I sneak away to see Sally Mae for some time with my secret baby momma. She was so happy with the coon skin jacket I made her she let me have some of them dessert grits. Back to work, then finally done. After I clean the cow shit off my clothes I go home. Wiffy gots them good eating for dinner, pig's feet and pig's head. I just love gnawing off the face meat straight from the face. Not sure what all you want to know mister, but I hope that helped.
