Wisdom vs Intelligence. There's also something to be said about being knowledgeable in your field and thinking you're knowledgeable in all fields

[-] smeg@feddit.uk 19 points 8 months ago

Also IQ is not intelligence. I'm seeing more and more posts from people who talk about IQ like it's their real-life INT stat. Is this just an American thing? Do people use the terms interchangeably or are you guys all doing IQ tests regularly and ranking yourselves by how good you are at puzzles?

To be fair I never mentioned IQ. I was just trying to make a joke. You can take it up with the original greenposter.

[-] smeg@feddit.uk 6 points 8 months ago

Oh yeah I agree with you. I'm building on your point and questioning OOP's use of IQ!

Ah my bad! You can tell I didn't earn my Mensa bumper sticker ;)

Yup that right there is the core of this issue, happens to the best of us.

Fortunately it doesn't happen to me, I'm a CS expert but also a sociology expert so I know how to distinguish it

I admit I forgot I commented in greentext for a moment there haha

I don't think you can master high level math with just wisdom

[-] PaupersSerenade@sh.itjust.works 9 points 8 months ago

It's late for me, so maybe I'm not getting your joke. I was implying that intelligence was used for the math degree and lack of wisdom in buying scratchers. I was also trying to reference an oft quoted DnD Stat meme;

Strength is being able to crush a tomato

Dexterity is being able to dodge a tomato

Constitution is being able to eat a bad tomato

Intelligence is knowing a tomato is a fruit

Wisdom is knowing not to put a tomato in a fruit salad

Charisma is being able to sell a tomato based fruit salad

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
