/sci is one of the most impressive high-iq societies in existence of the internet, when considering posted scores, and volume of discussion.

Yet, nearly every post in the catalog consists of the formula; "triggering 'bait' title+picture leading in to polarizing discussion"...

Logically, bait discussion topics may contain emotional, irrational responses.

What is puzzling, is that our high-IQ members' irrational behavior is rarely if ever attenuated. Competence and data are rarely if ever considered, in spite of intelligence and education of our society. Popular side-topics without the 'bait' formula are almost never created.

I find this behavior interesting and a bit unexpected.

Why doesn't sci's high-IQ correlate to rational discussion??
