One of the saddest things i've realized lately is that...

[Sigma Octantis]

It is very unfortunate that the high IQs lacks the ability to procreate compared to the dumb asses that has low IQ... they just seem to pop out like shrooms and bunnies.

 

[NoID10ts]

I dun got 'bout 3,000 chillins in 20 differ kuntrys. They's very, very stoopid, but theys got porn star cocks and gawd are they ever fun fer da ladys! My descedinants my dici my peeples shuld has conpleet cuntrol of the woorl by bout 2013 1/2.

 

[Cognisant]

It's not that unfortunate, think of it this way how many architects did it take to build the pyramids? And how many people to drag the stones?

If anything it's quite reassuring that there's enough idiots to go around

If you are smart and a woman. Your kids have a higher chance of being bright. The man can only pass the X chromosome to a daughter. And it's on the X chromosome most of the intelligence is. And it get's worse. On the daughter the good mutation from the father have a 50% chance of getting overwritten by the X from her mother. And if the daughter have a male kid, the gene variant is again as likely to get extinguished.

I suspect high IQ men is more the result of mutated X chromosome genes, then actual legacy that have been passed on. Their own genes related to IQ, if they choose to reproduce is likely to be viped out in the next rounds.

So perhaps you can make a greater legacy by designing something great instead of sleeping around, if being male. Or find a female with faulty X chromosomes, as the chances will be higher for them being accepted in the daughter. Perhaps then you can enjoy grandchildren as spawn of your brain.

The substratum reason behind this phenomenon might be that less bright folks have a surplus of hedonism and animal instinct rooted in will and indoctrinated thinking, whereas existentially aware people place more of an emphasis on higher pursuits. By indoctrinate thinking, I mean this belief that kids, high status professions, and attractive spouses are obligatory for happiness. Then again, I might be overthinking this: dumb people might be less apt to use contraception because of egotistical optimism.

@crippli
So either I find a smart woman or these genes are most likely going to be wasted?

Guess I will have to catch up with @Adaire one day, she can clone me
I'll build the incubator, I want mini-me to have the best start in life.

Or you could donate your sperm. They might be a loose application of the former, finding the right women, although she's just as much finding the right man in the foregoing example.

 

[Cognisant]

Donate, what is this a charity?
I may consider selling my sperm.

*considers it*

No.

Hunting down those little bastards before they turn Lelouch on me is too much of a hassle.

Charity? You get paid brother.

Hmm, I'll employ illegal immigrants to produce spunk on an industrial scale and if demand falls through I could just repackage the product as vintage style hair gel, with a bit of aftershave to disguise the smell idiots will being lining up to buy it.

That's one of the saddest things I've realized today.

 

[lungs]

oh god, this is why i stopped posting here.

has it ever occurred to you that regardless of iq, maybe people who don't feel the need to sit around whining about the drawbacks of their superior intellect on the internet are onto something that you're not?

 

[Cognisant]

And be deprived of the resulting glorious inanity?

*wilts dramatically like a proper victorian lady*
It would be a fate worse than death.

Well, employing that dubiously low-priced labor would effectively kill two birds with one stroke, stork, I mean stone. That scenario seems to owe a bit to Fight Club , yes my friend?

 

[Cognisant]

The inherently flawed nature of attempting to purchase masculinity?

Sorry I haven't seen the film in years, I can't remember it very well.

I meant that perhaps if those heretofore oversexed dunderheads were occupied with, um, solitary pursuits, they perhaps wouldn't copulate and reproduce quite as much. Therefore, while your vintage hair gel endeavor was booming, the world would benefit from hispanic absence, so to speak.

uh...
So no one takes any issue with Crippli's first post....?

And it's on the X chromosome most of the intelligence is

Really? No one at all?
C'MON PEOPLE!



Sorry @Cognisant, the cloning machine is strictly for Tesla's use....
Now all I need is a time machine....

 

[Minuend]

Why should we care about the future of humanity?

You're all full of shit.

Admittedly many of the posts were facetious. Relax.

So that Homo intelectus can resolve existential questions.

@crippli

If smarts is mutated X genes, then yes, your dumber genes will probably not be overwritten with a smarter women.

Guess I will have to catch up with @Adaire one day, she can clone me

Only a mini me daughter! And she will have another set of X genes to repair the most mutated from you(maybe..not sure how much the two sets interact, one set is at least generally inactive).

uh...

It's junior high biology. I think we learned this in seventh or eight grade. Is it wrong?

Dammit.

I thought I got it right.

IQ's a dumb way to measure intelligence anyway.

 

[kora]

high IQ sperm banks, a million dollar idea. Or does that allready exist?

 

[Pizzabeak]

Street smarts seems to be the only thing that matters in the world (US at least) nowadays anyway.

 

[crippli]

It's a shame one wasn't born 5 million years ago. Maybe even earlier, to have been one off The Great Apes that took the step forward.

That would be legacy, 7 billion and counting.

What I think is sad, is that it's too late by now. Unless, instead of one of The Great Apes. What will be named One of The Great Humans, those few who took the step forward for the next species. But it surely will require a bit more then a beautiful brain and hormone surrender :-(

What's a smart way?

Would the admissions committee of a prestigious astrophysics program greatly benefit by knowing a candidate's street smarts?

 

[BigApplePi]

Not everyone can say that. BTW you pronounced "kuntrys" right but I think it's speled with a "c" in your case.

 

[MissQuote]

This thread is just plain beautiful. You are all wonderfully ridiculous.

 

[Akuma]

I actually read a study from a psychology text book (unfortunately I can't remember the title and author) about kids with high IQs in the 150s were on average more attractive, well adjusted and taller than average.

Not saying it's much, but yeah.
