Mensa Website Hacked
- Firebox 6y agoI am a Mensa member, and I can confirm that most of us aren't truly smart in any important field. We just got a high score at a test with some drawings.
- doggodaddo78 6y agoThat sounds plausible. I worked with hundreds of people in Pac 12 academia. The brightest and even less bright people I knew/know from my time at those reputable institutions aren't members of that AFAIK. The most insecure, barely gifted I believe tend to be and advertise it. I'm not implying anything about the parent commenter, but this has been my experience with those who proudly-tout their membership. (Roommates or people I ran into randomly in public.) Personally, I would never join because it seems to confer no advantageous signal or merit. I can just convey my corpus over to one of the university areas and be around an increased-density of higher-order thinkers anytime.
- barnaclejive 6y agoUh, didn't we figure out a long time ago that Mensa is a scam?
- davidhbolton 6y agoNope. It's a social club. Always has been.
- deepest_throat 6y agoA dump of Mensa member private messages has been posted on 8chan: https://endchan.net/b/res/31975.html https://endchan.net/b/res/31975.html Leaked in this hack I guess?
