Sure a couple of us can do it, but lets not forget that the average IQ here is far from represent median of the people out there.
Our brains betray us, we like to be in a cozy place that we are used to, that feels like home. Current social networks offer this kind of experience.. and its a big trap because even if/when we want to get out, all our content are trapped there, so out of "there" is a total desert..

Such arrogance. Such elitism.
The average IQ sample here is higher (period). If you don't know this already, i guess you are not here long enough.
Its just a question of the fields people that use to come here represents.
With that i'm not implying that i'm part of it, as i might be average. But i have spent a lot of time here to know that this community have a high average level, giving the topics and the discussions happening over here over the years.

If you asked me, that'd be my guess as well, but saying it such a way that it projects hopelessness for the rest of the humanity is a bit too much :)
Narcissism is dangerous as it tends to create and feed extremist communities. For an example, see any political forum full with extremists (these days it's hard to find any without) and observe how often they call themselves intelligent (or woke, or whatever fancy words they use to work around the obviousness of self-flattery).

My account is six months older than yours. I lurked here for quite a while prior to creating this account.
I guess the difference between our experiences is that I didn't internalize the smug superiority that runs rampant on this website.
