Good advice
Reminds me of this
Sending this to lady_nougat [she is blonde, of course].
Remember how like 30 years ago, people used to think BLOND HAIR correlated with low intelligence?
And then the internet came around, and we found out that actually it doesn't - however, there are physical features that absolutely do, and people get super butthurt if you talk about them.

@cjd @lord_nougat @vitalis @valleur someone with a 155 IQ indeed did get very butthurt at the mere suggestion that IQ was heritable. seriously. someone much much much smarter than I am responded with pure angry emotion at this terrible blasphemy. I asked her if she thought there was a connection between her parents being smart and her own children being smart. she said it was because her family valued education. 
Self-reported IQ doesn't count.
@Paleface @vitalis @lord_nougat @valleur @cjd well, no, but how else are you supposed to measure it? I have my own sense of who is smart based on how much smarter than me they seem. I know my IQ and, while it's above average, it's nowhere near genius. at any rate I'm good-looking so I've never needed to be smart. lol.
No one with a legit IQ of 155 would fail to identify patterns in distribution of intelligence. Absolutely no one. And they're hardly ever swayed by jewish arguments to not talk about it.
@Paleface @vitalis @lord_nougat @valleur @cjd her whole family was/is smart; apparently her parents were trying to inculcate humility about it so it was something never talked about. lots of polite Anglo pretending that we're all equal
"Smart" can mean 115. 155 is a completely different level.
btw, no one trying to be humble about his own IQ will ever, ever, ever mention it.

On the topic of my IQ, I have credit score of well over 530
One of the reasons rice bunny gives for why she was interested in dating me is that I have a high IQ number. That’s not really what she likes about me, but it’s something she finds to be culturally acceptable to brag about.
Also she’s never seen a documentation of my IQ. I could have just been blowing smoke.

Damn, that's too respectable for me.
@Paleface @vitalis @lord_nougat @valleur @cjd she didn't. I brought it up. it's actually been a joy to be friends with a woman who is smarter than I am. I get so tired of women being resentful when I use a word they don't know or talk about a concept they've never thought about.
I got an F on my IQ test and I am very arrogant about it.
