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.
I would define one type of ‘dumb’ as people who upon learning they are making errors, refuse to apply any effort in improving. I have met lots. I am it sometimes too.
Another type of ‘dumb’ is ones that care nothing for others and cannot even foresee that caring broadly for and uplifting others is actually caring for yourself. I will also fail at this one often.
The second part I do if it’s someone that does it back. I’ve met people who just drain you with their negativity and those are pointless to try and uplift. It just makes you frustrated.
I guess their brains are wired to be negative because of some self protection or something.
