    People are generally stupid, even more so when they’re young. Younger people are getting brainwashed by low-IQ online influencers into believing this Alpha/Beta shit.

    It’s that simple.

    If you want to help him, try to break his addiction to those influencers.

      Did you seriously just do the same exact thing but with high vs low-iq? Was this irony intentional?

        No. But I can see how someone obsessed with being obtuse as a hobby could benefit from implying that I was doing so.

        Likes or death, amirite?

            every metric for intelligence is bullshit to some degree or another. Yet, some people are actually dumber than others. IQ is a concise term that gets the point across, for the sake of communication, what more do you want?

              IQ is a useful test when applied correctly. Using it on individual is rarely productive, but comparing population groups with similar cultural values is very useful. Two rural towns with a 10 point difference? Maybe the chemical plant down the road is doing something. Boomers being a few points lower then Millennials? Leaded gas.
