>>13206674Mensa is full of people in what Chris Langan calls the IQ danger zone. Maybe they're not true midwits but they're not as great as they often think they are
>Quote:In the high-IQ world, we sometimes talk about “the danger zone.” This is the IQ range in which one develops overweening confidence in one’s own intelligence but underestimates the intelligence of others and fails to discern the limitations of one’s own intellect. I’ve sometimes tended to attract baseless criticism from danger-zone egomaniacs who fancy themselves the world’s smartest people and claim vast knowledge and expertise that can’t be verified due to their tactical anonymity (use of pseudonyms). They’re a veritable cancer of the internet.
Unfortunately, such trolls are often tolerated as members by social media and special-interest websites that produce valuable content, lending them false respectability. Sometimes this is because those running the forum are discombobulated danger-zone “debunker” types eager to loose the hounds on “cranks,” “crackpots” and “enemies of science.” Unfortunately, it turns out that these terms are readily applied to anyone with a capacity for original thought.
