I had a teacher who said, "Some people are smarter than others, that's okay. We shouldn't judge people because of that but we can't pretend everyone is the same"

[BangMaster]

The average person thinks they are above average.

I took an online IQ test last week. But the real IQ test was given after the questions were asked. They asked for $20 for the results.

Story on humility: I got an extremely high aptitude score on my military entrance test. I was told I could choose just about anything that didn’t require a master’s level degree . I chose a fairly low barrier to entry occupation for the bonus. I worked with guys that seemingly weren’t that bright but they could take things apart and put them back together without even looking at the manuals. Meanwhile I struggled daily to barely pass. Though I tested off the charts I was the stupid one. I was out of my element and they were naturals in theirs.

The most terrifying IQ statistic: “Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.”

My father was an air traffic controller in the Navy for 20 years. He once told me, “I thought I knew some stupid people there, but then I went to work at the post office.”

I love how he just says it honestly "You can't do it".

That is the hard truth, intelligence is either there or it isn't, it isn't something you earn or grow or anything like that. Education and intelligence are two completely different things and people pushing the narrative that you can increase your problem solving ability, or become more creative are misguided and I applaud Peterson for being truthful and blunt about it.

[reinaldogomes]

It's shocking how hard it is to make some people understand that you can develop one's intelligence potential, but you cannot "train" people to become "more intelligent".

[BobTheBreaker]

For reference a dude in Congress just said “amen and awomen” after a prayer

This reminds me of my favorite Homer Simpson line: " Why is it that things that only happen to stupid people keep happening to me?"

My older brother was a 25 year National Guardsman who worked his way up to Sargent Major and did a critical war zone deployment. Any time we talk about the fact that I had spent a short time looking at joining during early college - he always tells me it was incredibly good that I didn't. His unemotional, businesslike response is that I was far too intelligent, too emotionally sensitive, and that my instinctual need to have things make sense would have been an utter disaster. Those were apparently all major detriments the second you stepped off the bus at Basic Training. 🤣

At 14 I took an IQ test and got 126. It meant nothing to me because I didn't understand what that meant. Now that I understand, it's frightening to think that most people fall under that because I don't feel smart at all.

[JustRiivox]

I never lose. I'm always a winner, that's why my results say " IQ number: 1"

[David-nukw]

Acknowledging you don't know everything is a great start.

[Kanti]

I can confirm this. I’m in the military, we had to kick out some people who can not follow instructions. Like they tried but they just can’t adapt

[Itriedtakennames]

There was a study that found that people with cognitive limitations or some mental illness often do a bit better in “rural village” culture than in first world cities or suburbs. Partly, because in villages there were still many vital tasks/jobs they can still handle, like picking up sticks in the wood s and selling them for firewood, carrying water, planting, etc. whereas in the US and other developed countries, even the lowest level jobs are pretty difficult, with many skills, at a fast pace and requiring good social skills (the McDonalds drive-thru).

[johncarlson]

As I get older, I can't help but suspect modern society's continual avoidance in acknowledging uncomfortable facts will result in our undoing.

[Ahrgos]

All opinions aside, I can't stop laughing at the fact that roughly 1 in 10 people disliked this video 😂😂😂

[erikhelm]

my time in the military helped me a lot for the working life, to create a life for me, to take over reaponsibilites....he's so on point with that
