"retarded and gay"

― gear (gear), Sunday, 11 December 2005 19:00 (nineteen years ago)

They are all teenagers trying to be cool or very casual people trying to get laid. So they are pretty smart for acting appropriately.

― AOL MSGBRDZ, Sunday, 11 December 2005 19:18 (nineteen years ago)

There are few ways to test the true intelligence of an ILxor, since ILx consists solely of words and digital pictures, making the posting of words and pictures the only ILxor activity one can observe. One can't be sure how well they navigate daily life or its challenges, where adaptive intelligence is more likely to be on display.

However, the typical ILxor is verbally dextrous. This is suggestive of mental dexterity - though inconclusively so. This gives one hope for the ability of an ILxor to achieve actual living results, when they are not engaged in ILx activities.

― Aimless (Aimless), Sunday, 11 December 2005 19:32 (nineteen years ago)

i have a high opinion of ilxors' senses of humor.
i've never considered anyone's intelligence.
i've never seen an aol message board.

― nein Socken (nein Socken), Sunday, 11 December 2005 19:37 (nineteen years ago)

Compared to the world population, I think they have an average intelligence conditioned by a typical education that demonstrates predictable results. The fact that they believe themselves to be so smart is what makes it so fun.

Does anyone else feel the need to hti him early on, so he'll get projected in the air and land with his head in the snow, even tho having him slide gives you a better score?

I really enjoyed that a couple of years ago, and still revisit it occasionally. I didn't record my highest score, sadly.

I haven't counted how many people have shown up here to say that ILXers are dum, or aren't as smart as they think, but I do know that not one of them has ever impressed me as being even medium-smart. Most of them strike me as not having the guts to risk finding out that they aren't terribly smart by doing more than blowing raspberries from the sidelines then running away.

Hm. I swung 20 times, and got an average of 183.2, including four outright misses.

i don't down the intelligence of ILX, i doubt its social skills.

― Special Agent Gene Krupa (orion), Sunday, 11 December 2005 23:27 (nineteen years ago)

I had an anonymous, Chicago area ILXor kindly come onto my livejournal a few weeks ago and post a reply to carsmilesteve that said they did not care for me because I am "minister of obtuse". Just charming.

So yes, there very much are some ILXors (and I'm talking long term regulars, because I know this person wasn't some flybynight shit) who have low regard for anyone like me who dares to admit they don't know it all, and like to fool around to blow off steam now and then.

I don't apologise for who I am at all, and to that person, and anyone else who think's I'm some thicko (and you know who you are), I hope I daily ruin ILX for you. With great delight.

Mulla Nasrudin used to stand in the street on market-days, to be
pointed out as an idiot.

No matter how often people offered him a large and a small coin, he
always chose the smaller piece.

One day a kindly man said to him, "Mulla, you should take the bigger coin. Then you will have more money and people will no longer be able to make a laughing-stock of you."

"That might be true," said Nasrudin, "but if I always take the larger,
people will stop offering me money to prove that I am more idiotic than they are. Then I would have no money at all."

Dan's words could've come from practically any ILXor, I would imagine. It seems people generally post from a perch of superiority. Nobody ever really LOSES an argument on ILX; they just cease to post on the thread where they've been pwned.

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Monday, 12 December 2005 21:09 (nineteen years ago)

emotional, social, etc? Academic intelligence doesn't really get you very far in learning how to react and interplay with other human beings. You can post some pretty learned and studied shit and be a pretty sharp dude and come off like a SAT-obsessed wankfest. Ha ha ha, see what I did there?

I had one about sledding through hoops of fire, but it wasn't nearly as cute. Although, it did have more of a point to it.

I did feel flattered, Dan, and sorry to seem ungracious. It would be hard to accept it on a thread where Nabisco is present, to offer one example of why I needed to say what I did.

I think he underestimates the average intelligence here - I work with computer professionals, with all the class and education advantages he rightly discusses here, and I think the average intelligence of people I've got to know tolerably well from ILX is significantly higher than that of my colleagues or the people I was at uni with. But this is all a matter of opinion - even if we had everyone's IQ scores, we all know how little that tells us. Also, I think I've got to know a non-typical slice of ILX, which probably distorts matters too.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Monday, 12 December 2005 21:18 (nineteen years ago)

emotional, social, etc?

well yeah, I had recognized same above, so I understood Tracer (and nabisco?) to be referring to something else

― mark s (mark s), Monday, 12 December 2005 21:35 (nineteen years ago)

I mean, way to misunderstand exactly what I just said with the socializing brush off, dude. I am accusing you of being completely unable to actually "do" what you "aspire" to "do" because you are awash in academic intelligence but come off as lacking in the other two very regularly on ILX political threads! Hence, academic intelligence not being more "important" than the others in terms of being able to hold an academic/political/social/musical/sports/etc debate but rather all being equally important and round and round we go back to my original point that the distinctions of intelligence here everyone's making to pat ILX on the back for being Real Genius are all useless horsecrap.
