MENSA Syndrome (Something to think about)

Me and my weird mind | July 22, 2010 | MestaMachine

[MestaMachine]

Like I said...my weird mind. Anyone else think like this?

[Mere Survival]

Jesus Christ is the answer.

[null and void]

Yes.

[null and void]

I don’t think you understand the question.

[MestaMachine]

Nornin’, null. I am serious. This started out as a joke.

[Earthdweller]

Mensa Syndrome is a real problem. A million people in lofty places, suffering from Aspergers Syndrome, disagree.

[null and void]

Me too. I have though roughly along the same lines, but in a much less formal and codified fashion.

Upon contemplation I might be able to add a minuscule bit or to to what you’ve said, but on first blush, you nailed it.

(The reference to World War Z is a nice touch)...

[Dead Corpse]

Yep.

Take a course in Corrective Phrenology. Works wonders for those afflicted with your MENSA syndrome. While at first the effects may seem palliative, repeated courses of treatment invariably yield acceptable results.

We are repeating history from 70 - 80 years ago. Unfortunatelu, there are always some that want to be the “master race”, and also there are enough useful idiots that help them along. We are fast approaching one of your listed results, or both.

[MHGinTN]

I'm curious as to what pummel tool you would recommend for this corrective treatment?

[null and void]

I don’t know that a wood shampoo would help the condition to any measurable degree.

It would be rather *satisfying* though...

[MHGinTN]

BTW, love the redundancy in your screen name. It takes brilliance to do that sort of thing, don’tchaknow.

[libertarian27]

We are Borg

We are Mensa

Same?
Happening now?
Hmmmm....

[verity]

[MHGinTN]

You need some time on my quiet porch. ... BTW, we're not tipping into chaos, we're being herded into it via the wide road, toward the broad gate wherein lies destruction.

And still no citizens are building the necessary guillotines ...

24 ounce precision impact tool. NASA used to buy them for around $500 per unit.

You should be able to pick one up for relatively cheap.

[MestaMachine]

Maybe this is actually the problem after all. They have never figured out what causes Asperger’s. I don’t know if you were trying to be witty or not, but think about it. Once you believe that you are superior to everyone and everything, the first thing to go is empathy.
The idea that the woman on the Journolist thread could give such a degenerate, cold-blooded description of another human being in agony and celebrate it is enough to chill the blood.
Think about it.

[Mr. Jeeves]

Well, smart people quit Mensa very quickly when they realize paying a substantial annual fee gets them virtually nothing but the chance to stand around at informal gatherings with a lot of underemployed whiners who constantly complain that the world refuses to recognize their brilliance. :)

An alternative therapy is high doses of copper encapsulated lead via high velocity inter-cranial injection.

[Dead Corpse]

It's only redundant due to grammatical shift. The original Latin corp-, corpor-, corpus- meant "body" and carried no connotation of said body being alive. It could be a "body of literary work", the "body politic", etc...

I've been using variations of the moniker since the early '90's on various BBS systems, list-servs, Usenet, etc...
