Guess I'm a Rationalist Now

When I was a kid I wanted to be in Mensa because being smart was a big part of my identity and I was constantly seeking external validation.

I’m so glad I didn’t join because being around the types of adults that make being smart their identity surely would have had some corrosive effects

I didn't meet anyone who seemed arrogant.

However I'm always surprised how much some people want to talk about intelligence. I mean, it's the common ground of the group in this case, but still.

Personally, I subscribe to Densa, the journal of the Low-IQ Society.
