No, I said my IQ was not important in response to OP (because on the internet frankly its not either my ideas are good or they're bad). You then jumped into left field about rapefugees. Bragging about your IQ on the internet is dumb. Yes IQ is important in real life which was explained in my comment as IQ correlates to professional ability. On the internet however it's meaningless.
We have a serious disagreement there. Intelligence and ability to think critically is Paramount on the Internet because other cues that would otherwise indicate falsehood or misinformation are absent.
Information warfare leaves people armed only with their Intelligence. And if you don't think you are being targeted by misinformation, then we're not living the same reality.
You're seriously going waaay out into left field with this.
I'm not saying IQ isn't important as a person in their lives.
I'm saying posting your IQ on the internet is meaningless. It's one step below Navy Seal copypasta.
Either my ideas are good or they aren't.
On the internet you connect with ideas. Credentials don't matter if you can develop a cogent argument founded on evidence and reason.
At this point it seems like you're purposely misunderstanding me.
Anyways I hope this has cleared up my position.
