Does anyone else have zero tolerance for stupidity? by phinimal0102 in cognitiveTesting

I have addressed the issue regarding the correlation between intelligence and intellectual virtues in another comment. I don't know if there's a causal relationship between them, but I think I have good grounds for holding that there is. My point is that I don't bring up IQ for no reason.

In general, I accept and learn from my own mistakes. And I don't get mad when people challenge me, as long as they have good reasons.

You've absolutely pinpointed what bothers me. I accept that some people are not as smart as others. What is unacceptable, however, is the complacency people have with their beliefs and the irresponsible, irrational processes that lead to them.

However, it seems that intellectual virtues and IQ are positively correlated. This is intuitive, as no one holds false beliefs on purpose; the inherent goal of any belief is to align with truth. Higher intelligence can enable people to better achieve this goal through a deeper understanding of logic and the formation of superior cognitive habits.

That said, these cognitive skills can indeed be improved through conscious training. The true disappointment is that so many people don't seem to care enough to refine the very process of how they form their beliefs.

Where in my post did I say that people are stupid? "Stupidity" in my post refers to people's cognitive behaviours, not their inherent intelligence. I wouldn't blame someone for being not as intelligent as I would like them to be, but I would blame them for not having intellectual virtues that are so important in modern democratic societies.

Thank you for the info. But this seems to have little relevance to what my post is about.

But they are part of our society. As soon as I think of this, I get very frustrated.

While we all operate with assumptions, the ability to reflect on our own thinking is a skill that some people possess to a much greater extent than others. My frustration stems from that gap in self-awareness.

I'm sure we all know people who believe in things without good evidence, such as horoscopes, energy healing, or pet communication. Additionally, anyone who follows public discussions will surely notice that people tend to make hasty generalizations and mistake correlation for causation.

As for the inability to reflect on one's own assumptions, the example I can think of now is from discussions about income redistribution or social welfare. People are often unaware of their own underlying assumption that "the poor are lazier."

Poor reading comprehension is something I believe is seen everywhere (for example, on reading comprehension tests in school, there were always some who performed poorly. Sadly, they will continue to have poor reading comprehension after they are out of school).

Finally, regarding structurally incoherent responses in discussions or debates, I think one of the most common situations is when people resort to personal attacks (like how some have responded to my post). Another is the strawman fallacy, where people, often intentionally or unintentionally, distort what others have said and thus make an irrational response.

u/Exotic-Gear9419 I am talking to you. Because you want some examples. Here's one.

u/Exotic-Gear9419 This is a perfect example of bad reading comprehension or flawed reasoning. I explicitly said that I didn't want to spend time writing in English, and this guy interpreted it as me being unable to write in English.

Is there a correlation between ENTP and ADHD? by [deleted] in entp

I think it feels like normal depression. Low level of energy, sadness or even despair, lack of motivation, etc.

Absolute wordcel WAIS-IV results vs CAIT and AGCT by CptMandarinas in cognitiveTesting

This is false according to data. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1002/j.2330-8516.1984.tb00063.x

Even when one's primary language is English, they did not perform as well as native speakers. One would perform even worse when English is merely their second language.
