I worked with university students for 5 years and although academically smart they were the thickest people I've ever met.

[@Tom-qb1rj]

I am one & agree

[@SRPC21]

I came out of university believing I was smart and it didn’t take me long to realise that in the real world I was in fact below average! A lot of graduates are delusional about their conventual intelligence in the real world. All they’ve learnt to do is write essays that get thrown in the bin. Most of them don’t understand the real value of money and wouldn’t survive long in a real job.

[@essem7878]

Humbly agree. Graduating and struggling to find a job was truly a reality check. Worked my way up after 6 years at a company but it was a long and arduous process, with lots of learning still to do. Never be arrogant about what you believe you are. Academic intelligence is great but it takes all kinds of people to make the world work.

[@cricketbengelly2307]

@@SRPC21 I think the old “graduates only know how to regurgitate essays” line is a bit unfair and unrealistic. Many graduates have developed critical thinking skills and they can be very academically clever. Where they often fall down or get a harsh slap of reality when entering the “real world” is when it comes down to working in organisations with large and sometimes complicated hierarchies. Office politics is grubby and dirty but being able to navigate yourself around the social maze of a professional office is skill which many grads simply do not possess. Another thing I’ve noticed, you may have been the top of the class clever clogs on your university course. But in the office you’re starting at the bottom of the pile, and the majority of people (except your direct manager) don’t give a flying sh*t about you. Or how clever you are. They just want you to perform.

[@SRPC21]

@@cricketbengelly2307 I think it depends what course they did, I was basing what I said very much on my own experience and my experience of graduates themselves. Those that did what I would call “useful” and/or “challenging” degrees like engineering/sciences/maths/history/nursing I would say did learn effective critical thinking skills. I can’t say the same for those who did Media/communications/gender studies/performing arts/music though (important industries in their own right but not as degree subjects).

[@ankh3778]

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer’s head. There’s also Rick’s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they’re not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick & Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick’s existential catchphrase “Wubba Lubba Dub Dub,” which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev’s Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon’s genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them.

[@slickitkam116]

yes i totally agree

[@hillsonpills5126]

I agree with the point of the humor being subtle, but let be real you do not need a high IQ to understand it, almost all of my friends love this show and get the jokes whether they be naturally gifted or barely getting through our physics classes. I don't think the show's humor is a subtle as you think it is. If you want to know a show that is extremely subtle and most jokes may go completely over some heads - futurama that show was amazing at being what you just described Rick and Morty to be. But I'm still a fan of both

Nobody who believes in IQs can be labeled a genius

[@thepubquiz3198]

On an individual basis you have to take them with a grain of salt, although there is still a decent degree of accuracy in that regard, and they can also be a very useful tool for large studies etc. And I think to actually be labeled a genius you have to have actually achieved something to warrant that label, and I think the genius category should be renamed on IQ tests for this reason. Also they can be useful for children as well, if one child is failing in school and scores 150 and another is failing and scores 80, this would be useful information as it would help you determine the best approach to help that child. Yet I agree to claim you're a genius without actually achieving anything of note is a bit silly, I scored over 150 yet I would never call myself a genius, nor would I agree with that label if someone said I was, even if I came up with some amazing invention I wouldn't openly call myself a genius, but at that point, and I think this applies to most of us, I would probably silently agree if someone referred to us as such ha.
