The Five Levels of Intelligence

PEAK RETARD You won one side of the genetic lottery. The world is shit, but you're too fucking stupid to notice, so to you, the world is great. As long as you have tendies and crayoun and mommy changes your diapers, life is a dream. Towards 75-85 IQ points, you might even be able to get a wage job to gain a modicum of independence and crayon money, like cashier or HR worker. It's a soul crushing job, of course, but you don't have one. Great job. A+ NORMIE PURGATORY You're a normie in a normie world. A tepid in a world designed for the tepid. You have no particular intelligence, no talents, and no ambitions that cannot be bought with a credit card. You feel a bit empty inside all the time, but you can still console yourself with the next captain videogame or mediocre pussy. It's tolerable. B- SMUG HEAVEN You won the game, you magnificent asshole. You're smart enough to exploit normies and retards but not so smart that it's crippling. Money and pussy will ruin. A+++ INTROVERT HELL You lost the game in the worst possible way, you sad piece of shit. You're smart enough to notice every little flaw in the world and in the people around you, all their pettiness and shitiness. All the world's lack of purpose and sense and fairness. And all you get from your keen insight is crippling depression. Your overactive imagination will paralyze you. You will over-think, overworry and underachieve. F- AUTIST HYPERBOREAN The world is shit and God is dead and rotting together with our ideals, that has been obvious to you since you were 6, but what do you care? You're blessed with an obsession. Be it physics, literature, philosophy or biology, you can lose yourself in the field you love and shunt everything else out. The shit is real but can't touch you. You can truly excel. You will advance mankind without even really noticing. You just like doing it. A+

A bell-curve chart divides people into five exaggerated intelligence archetypes: the oblivious "peak retard," the mediocre normie, the smug high achiever, the depressed introvert, and the intensely focused autistic hyperborean. The joke is that both extreme ends are portrayed as happier or more fulfilled than ordinary intelligence, while the middle is trapped in boredom or anxiety; it is shared as an ironic reaction about intelligence, alienation, and finding purpose in obsession.
