I’ve been watching this circum-self-massaged-buck called the E.U. , from the start.
I have an I.Q. of 126, and I supportrd Brexit, and still do.
To: devane617
So high IQ and wisdom are inversely related.

Has there been any reliable study showing whether Brexit has been good or bad for the UK?

So the societal elites who were vested in the existing economic structure of UK before Brexit were opposed to leaving the EU. What’s so surprising about that?

I don’t worry about the %. Neither my wife or I took the Jab, and we will not take it in the future.
I’m 75, she is younger.

Some wag once said of academics that they’ve learned more and more about less and less until they know absolutely everything about nothing, and absolutely nothing about everything else.
What troubles me is that they don’t know what they don’t know. Outside of their field, PhDs tend to cluster on the far left of the Dunning-Krueger curve.

Higher cognitive ability linked to higher chance of having voted against Brexit
Using similar logic, cognitive ability is linked to higher chance of having voted for Biden. Of for having supported Bin-Laden or for supporting ISIS or for supporting the holocaust.

Higher cognitive ability is correlated with having attended university, which is (over the past generation or two) correlated with having been exposed to left-wing indoctrination.

So smarter people were more likely to vote to remain enslaved to Brussels? So much for intellectuals.
To: MNDude
Yeah, these folks seem pretty dumb for smart people.

I’ll bet they still think they’re brilliant as they clutch their pain racked myocarditic chests.

So - a bunch of people utterly convinced that they are smarter than the people they’re studying have concluded that smart people agree with them. This isn’t science, it’s neurosis. Who'da thunk it?
Why highly intelligent people suffer from more mental and physical disorders bigthink.comA new paper published in the journal Intelligence reviews the literature and explores the mechanisms that possibly underlie this connection.
The results showed that highly intelligent people are 20% more likely to be diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), 80% more likely to be diagnosed with ADHD, 83% more likely to be diagnosed with anxiety, and 182% more likely to develop at least one mood disorder.

Hmmm, seems like its a play with the numbers til we get the result we want kinda study:
The researchers statistically accounted for other factors that could also be linked to voting decisions, such as socioeconomic and sociodemographic traits, political preferences, and a widely studied set of personality traits known as the Big Five.
Yeah, adjust and adjust....

It’s amazing how these people always find exactly what they expected to find. It’s almost as if they think that smart people will be exactly like them.
