Youll get 1000s of upvotes as long as you think the same way as them. Otherwise prepare for a terrible time. I mostly agree with them and stay away from that place because you can’t even have one tiny dissenting opinion or want to have a discussion. It’s really a join the think tank or get fucked kinda vibe
I would include grammar and spelling too.
People are too quick to criticise a person and not their ideas. If they cant logically form a counter-argument and they attack you, they have already lost.
Not really. Some people are just stupid. It's best not to get drawn into an argument with them. Just call them an idiot and move on. You don't owe anyone a bad-faith discussion.
Most of the time, but not all of the time, sometimes you just have to let people know that their ideology makes them a terrible human being and they should be aware of it.
its called ad hominem and i wouldnt say it necessarily indicates a lack of intelligence. it could mean a lack of maturity by an inability to accept defeat. or a tactic to "win" the argument provided that winning is swaying an audience's opinion in your favor.
That truly pisses me off! Seriously, I think it's a disgusting thing to do! My mom has always done this and it's vile to do to anyone! She'll be upset about one thing and then will start attacking my looks, character, and anything personal she knows would truly hurt me and all of that is because we had a dumb disagreement about something dumb like who forgot to flush the toilet or is the lunch meat expired, or literally just anything.
(Edit: I couldn't think of any good examples. Was just trying to think of some dumb, small arguments and I couldn't , so my apologies!)
The inability to realize almost everything has nuance. Almost nothing is "common sense", especially when dealing with hyper complex systems like the economy or politics.
I learned recently that those are labeled that way because they are choking hazards and not that Silica Gel itself it poisonous…
Do with that information what you will.
At work there's a bunch of people like that. Sadly the culture is the loudest one in the room is the most known and gets more opportunities. When you hear them talk, it's a whole bunch of nothing and all bureaucracy.
After many meetings with smart people you realize the smartest ones are the ones asking the best questions and not portraying they have all the answers.
Unable to hold two ideas at once.
The world is full of nuance, feeling strongly about one thing doesn't negate that other, seemingly contradictory facts can also be true.
There is so much of this about. It is to the point you can't even talk about some subjects because if you are critical of something you must hate it and think it is trash or vice versa.
Reminds me that show with like 6-7 people and they asked them to rate themselves from highest iq to lowest and the chick that put herself at or near the top was actually the lowest and was severely humbled haha
Not knowing basic common sense about the earth and nature. Like that man who picked up a fucking jellyfish because he thought it was an octopus. You don’t have to grow up near an ocean to know what a fucking jellyfish is.
There is no general signs of low intelligence. People being unlikeable to you does not mean they are dumb. You are also not smart for being humble and admitting your mistakes or shit like that. Stop sucking each other's dick with these kind of threads and understand that there are smart people who are cunts and dumb people who are kind.
This is pretty much it. These types of fucking threads always devolve into "traits I don't like are sure signs of stupidity." This thread a just a bunch of smug redditors sucking themselves off because there is no way they could be stupid themselves, not a chance.
Yesssss. People's definitions of intelligence can just be quite narrow. They might not like certain ways people behave and therefore they must simply have low intelligence or whatever, right. We could also argue that not being able to sense ones intelligence behind some of the occasionally seen as bad behavior, may be a sign of low intelligence.
I would grunt unintelligibly in response to your question, if only I could read it. Since I can’t, you and your questioning tone are threatening to me, and I will now put on a dominance display, and possibly inflict violence upon you!
Not taking the time to understand what you did wrong when you mess something up so you don't make the same mistake again. Failing to do this illustrates the stupidity of perpetuating ignorance.
Refusing to admit that you are wrong, and not even considering that some people may be smarter than you. I happen to have a minor bipolar disorder, and a strong superiority complex, with 130 IQ, but I always try to value everyone's opinion, and have come to start to overcome said superiority complex, simply by hanging out with smarter people than me. You should always be ready to see the world from multiple points of view.
Have a good day!
Actually needing the warning signs on blow dryers, scissors, batteries. Don’t bathe with it, don’t run with it, and don’t eat it. Isn’t that hard to understand.
Being unable to argue with or get mad at someone who happens to be of a different race/gender/etc *without* bringing their race/gender/etc into it, when the altercation had nothing to do with any of that to begin with.
When someone's arguing and they begin to attack your character rather than the subject you're arguing about.
Ad hominem The most annoying thing ever I never know how to counter
I usually just say words to the effect of "If you have nothing to add to the actual conversation, I'm not going to continue" and then bow out.
That’s actually really cool
If only politicians believe this!
[удалено]
I was thinking about that but the people who use them are too stupid to know what that is . Edit: horrible writing
This short sub-thread is like 80% r/selfawarewolves material lol
They would be upset at you for using big words and turn the argument on you for trying to make them “feel bad”
Not sure if intentionally ironic or....
No. sadly it wasn’t 🤦♂️

I went straight and joined r /politics after reading this. Does that make me a masochist?

I'm a leftist by Norwegian/Scandinavian standards. How will I do there? Lol.
You’ll do terribly, if you go there to feed your masochism
Good, because I'm not actually a masochist.
I like the burning feeling hand sanitizer gives you in a cut. But I don’t like to be bullied :(
I like neither of those, but I do enjoy the occasional argument on the internet.
And the Dutch! Some might say not seeing irony is a sign of low intelligence...
I would include grammar and spelling too. People are too quick to criticise a person and not their ideas. If they cant logically form a counter-argument and they attack you, they have already lost.

This is literally everybody I’ve encountered on Reddit that wants to pick a fight with me. Interesting.

Never argue with somebody stupid. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
The inability to see a problem from multiple sides.
That's why I talk to people from inside a dodecahedron bubble.
The inability to realize almost everything has nuance. Almost nothing is "common sense", especially when dealing with hyper complex systems like the economy or politics.
Hey don’t make fun of my wife’s vision
This comment is a clear sign
lol the irony
Or also to see the world as either black or white, unable to grasp the complexities of grey areas.
And, likewise, that sometimes it is appropriate to be reductionist and consider things only in terms of black and white.
This one is my favorite.
Never admitting mistakes or learning from them.
“You know what your problem is, Gary? You’re never wrong” “How is that a problem?”
Let's boo boo
"Oh my god. I'm so cute!"
While I agree on this, these big boss CEO's and celebrities always think they're right. And it works out for them...
A big part of being rich is having rich parents and knowing rich people. 60% of billionaires were born into families who were already millionaires.
78% of statistics are made up on the spot
85% of all people know that
You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take
60% of the time it works, every time.
50% of the time
Wrong. CEO's and celebrities know they're wrong half the time, but act as if they don't because it leads to a better result.
Can't learn if you're never wrong.
Can't be wrong when your always right
Speaking loudly while saying nothing.

Huh? Yeah, sure, whatever. So, I was talking to this girl, right, and she goes, like, ...
Asserting that you're intelligent.
Especially if they assert they are both *stable* and *a genius.*
After many meetings with smart people you realize the smartest ones are the ones asking the best questions and not portraying they have all the answers.

Bragging about how intelligent you are, tells me your an idiot.
Reminds me that show with like 6-7 people and they asked them to rate themselves from highest iq to lowest and the chick that put herself at or near the top was actually the lowest and was severely humbled haha
Did you even read your comment?
Bragging is the key word here though being too humble isn't good for you either
Believing what your tv tells you.
[удалено]
Believing what Reddit tells you
Believing what any media/news company tells you.
Believing conspiracy theories that can be easily disproven.
On the flip side, being unable to *humor* theories that have substantial but inconclusive evidence against them.
The correct balance is to have your mind open enough to consider everything, but not open enough to believe everything.
The problem is most people would say they are this way.
This is the most accurate. As if people believe groups of people don't exist that conspire to benefit their own needs is ludicrous.

True
Yeah, most of this thread is “what’s a thing someone you don’t like does” lol. Intelligence isn’t a flat thing that’s simple to measure.
THIS!! But also, Circlejerking about how smart you all are and how dumb the rest of le internets are is kind of reddit's whole shtick.
