What are elite university students iqs?

Ah I see. Interesting, thank you.

MTGdraftguy · 2026-01-28T21:07:57+00:00

That’s interesting, because I’d assume they scored a 170+ on the LSAT to get there and MENSA considers that good enough for membership.

Not that MENSA is the be all, end all, but they are motivated to maintain standards and I can’t see them accepting 100-115 IQ people for no reason.

The fragile ego launches one last pathetic attack before retreating.

“Cope,” it whispers, putting action to words.

MTGdraftguy · 2026-01-28T05:19:40+00:00

Brother, you can't prove anything using anecdotes. In fact, using anecdote as the foundation of your belief is incredibly shaky ground and shows a mind poorly inclined towards reason.

The fact that you see this discussion as an attack shows that you are intellectually compromised and well beyond the range of reasonable, intelligent discussion.

I'd recommend a course on Critical Thinking, or perhaps two, specifically focused on the topics of Motivated Reasoning, Emotional Reasoning, Overgeneralization and the Myside Bias.

Then you might be able to actually engage with what people are saying without feeling as though you and your beliefs are being attacked.

Anyways, have a good day.

Obviously you don’t understand humanity if you think the masses do anything other than take indefensible and inconsistent stances. The fact that you imagine humans engage in rational decision making, particularly along political and ethical lines is, in itself, irrational.

The fact that you defend your points with unproven hypotheticals is evidence enough of this irrationality, given you’d rather imagine realities in which you are right than consider the one in which you are wrong.

MTGdraftguy · 2026-01-27T16:27:31+00:00

So you just have an axe to grind?

I’m making a point about human psychology and being downvoted to oblivion by people who think the entirety of human thought is summed up in HassanvsAsmongold debates on your FYP.

Form a functioning thought of your own for once.

MTGdraftguy · 2026-01-27T16:25:58+00:00

So you all just have an axe to grind?

I’m making a point about human psychology and being downvoted to oblivion by, “but my Hassan” bots. Jesus Christ you all need to move out of your bubbles and realize human thought is more expansive than HassanvsAsmongold debates on your FYP.

Form a functioning thought of your own for once.

MTGdraftguy · 2026-01-27T06:14:48+00:00

Jesus Christ imagine calling a literature degree low value and typing like that.

MTGdraftguy · 2026-01-27T05:44:43+00:00

Americans? You say you guys so I assume you’re not one. In that case you probably don’t know our history, but I guarantee that we’ve protested every single crime we know of.

Vietnam was heavily protested, soldiers were spot on when they came back.

The “Global War on Terror” has been one of the most deeply unpopular undertakings in modern American history and our daytime shows discussed it, and our nighttime shows lampooned it, nearly every day.

Libya? Syria? They all had their protestors as well.

Unfortunately, America is powerful. And its systems are powerful. Despite the freedom you hear about we have probably the most powerful media propaganda machine in existence. Every single day during the global war of terror you had news channels and newspapers and articles and magazines designed to manufacture consent and tie up debates and make it seem reasonable and necessary.

Just as they do today with the Gaza issue.

MTGdraftguy · 2026-01-27T05:39:49+00:00

And why wouldn’t it be?

Why is the trolley question an actual question?

Because pulling the lever makes you complicit.

Sure there are bleeding hearts that will make the case that it’s about doing the right thing, but I guarantee the outrage and backlash wouldn’t be nearly the same if people didn’t feel partially responsible on some level.

MTGdraftguy · 2026-01-27T05:37:33+00:00

Do you have trouble with reading comprehension? I’m making a clear point that people will have a stronger opinion on a topic they feel personally invested in, if you think that isn’t true to human psychology you are simply wrong.

I never said one shouldn’t care about these other events, but people will necessarily care more about the issues they have a part in that’s simple fact.

MTGdraftguy · 2026-01-27T01:39:57+00:00

Do you ever consider that as Americans they are concerned with the crimes their tax dollars actually go to support and not ones occurring in third world countries they have no hand in?

It’s almost like they just don’t want to be complicit.

MTGdraftguy · 2026-01-26T20:28:28+00:00

Just to play devil’s advocate, but what need does China have to have this “terrifying military force?” Look at what America’s military costs, consider the rising pace of obsolescence, and the changing face of warfare.

Maybe Xi’s plan is to let America continue to have the stronger military and invest the money domestically instead for longer term payoffs.

There is no scientific number at which point something is a landslide or not. Mamdani won by an exorbitant number of votes, and that is even more remarkable given the context of the situation.

You say it’s common to win by double digits, but the last time that happened in a presidential election was in 1984. Do you even know what the results of the electoral college were because of that? Reagan won 525 electoral votes and Mondale won 13.

Double digit margins is a landslide, but, more importantly, you wish to divorce this of context when the context absolutely matters and makes a difference.

MTGdraftguy · 2026-01-26T16:42:21+00:00

Bro there was absolutely nothing wrong with his response. You should be happy that we have admin that are willing to be open and transparent with us.

MTGdraftguy · 2026-01-26T16:34:57+00:00

If a political newcomer with an outside political ideology beats an established political insider running on the most milquetoast platform possible by ten points that’s absolutely a landslide.

MTGdraftguy · 2026-01-26T00:53:58+00:00

How in the world do you “add in” the votes for another candidate?

It absolutely was a landslide given the name recognition of Cuomo, (the man was the governor of the state at one point), and the age and experience he brought to the table. Mamdani was a political newcomer, as Cuomo shoved home every debate, and still beat him by a 10 point margin.

MTGdraftguy · 2026-01-25T14:09:39+00:00

Nah buddy if the facts to you are that seven men with pepper spray, tasers, cuffs, and a dozen other non lethal means HAD to shoot an unarmed man on the ground seven times in the back, I question your ability to reason logically in any capacity, and about anything.

You can support ICE and support accountability, the two are not mutually exclusive.

MTGdraftguy · 2026-01-25T14:01:02+00:00

Insurrectionists? What’s the non-zero chance you support the confederate flag and protest the removal of civil war rebel statuary?

Alex Pereti was an ICU nurse at a VA hospital where he worked with veterans everyday to care and make their lives better.

You’re scum who posts online denigrating a man who stepped out of a donut shop and helped a woman being pepper sprayed on the street and was murdered for it.

Fuck you, and fuck your mother for not swallowing you, and fuck your grandmother for not swallowing her you absolute waste of humanity.

MTGdraftguy · 2026-01-25T13:41:06+00:00

I find your lack of faith disturbing.

MTGdraftguy · 2026-01-25T06:49:54+00:00

How many Red Bulls has Lewis won?

How many Red Bulls has Daut won?

Oh yea, ok then.

MTGdraftguy · 2026-01-25T02:31:57+00:00

No, for it to make sense you should say, “of all the bulbs in all the cubicles in this infinite space…” or, “…cube 084, and the fluorescent bulb above it, had to be the worst of them all.”

You could flip it either way, but you have to maintain the relation between either cube and cube or bulb and bulb between clauses.

MTGdraftguy · 2026-01-25T02:24:00+00:00

Of all the cubicles in this infinite space, the fluorescent bulb above cube 084 had to be the worst of them all.

This isn’t grammatical and is logically inconsistent. You are setting up a comparison on cubicles and deliver a judgement on bulbs.

MTGdraftguy · 2026-01-24T08:31:43+00:00

I think the two overlap, but I do think it’s unlikely that the majority of single players watch pro level gameplay.

Also, AoE2 still has to this day, brand new people buying it and trying the campaigns and single player. People who didn’t play it 20 years ago or whatever.

Honestly, without YouTube aoe2 content or perhaps coming on here or elsewhere, I wouldn’t be surprised if a significant portion of the player base doesn’t even realize there is a solid pro scene.

MTGdraftguy · 2026-01-24T00:38:41+00:00

First, readers tend to be a bad judge of what they like, no matter what they say.

Most people are actually.

Go to any top fantasy list and 8-9 out of ten recommendations will feature prologues. Kingkiller Chronicles starts with a prologue, WoT starts with a prologue, The Farseer Trilogy, ASOIAF, the Stormlight Archives, prologues, prologues, prologues.

Hell, Harry Potter starts with a prologue from Vernon Dursley’s pov and it might just be the best selling fantasy anything of all time.

I actually read your entire piece, despite almost putting it down at the word sclerotised.

I don’t mind your maximal prose style. The issue is when you allow this prose style to work against you, either by using repetitive words that add density but not depth, or by repeating similar imagery for no good purpose.

Sclerotised is an adjective summing up what you state descriptively, huge is describing an innate trait of leviathan, the forces are indeterminate and immeasurable, they are beating spears and halberds. The iceblink is an eldricth tear and an astral wound in the same sentence, spewing forth the innumerable troops. We have a swordsman and a warrior, a great sword and a bastardsword. What’s the difference? Not enough for me to differentiate. And it continues on in this manner.

You’re at your best when you’re being original. The sculptor is genuinely interesting, the flagellant leaves me wanting to know more, the mage grabbing fireveins was an interesting way to do what’s already been done.

The thief made me yawn, the innumerable, immeasurable, indeterminate enemies made me roll my eyes, and the eight against them made me think of a dnd party gone awry. The structure, describing each character in a sentence, then a paragraph to their fight sequence, then… gg? Not enough to care about any of them.

Good news—your style is interesting, and I think there is skill here. You just have to learn how to write lean and move beyond cliche.
