> Mensa is just a club

Among geniuses, Mensa is for the morons, relatively speaking. It also has the highest annual fees.[1] It's all a machine, partner. Live free, don't join.

No member of Mensa I have known has remained a friend for long. They all seem obsessed with numerical rank order of precedence and smirk.

I have never sought membership. I want nothing to do with them.
