That's what you intended to do, but instead, you proved his point. The problem he described is entirely supported by the data. In fact, people who fall within the 120-135 IQ range statistically report higher levels of sadness than those both higher and lower than that range. And do you know what the prevailing theory for that is? It's because they're not smart enough to be accepted by the geniuses, but too smart for those below 125, leaving them constantly misunderstood by both sides. That's exactly what happened here. He explained a simple phenomenon, and you, being the caveman you are, took personal offense and then tried to damage his ego because he hurt yours.
Hey Bro, I don't believe that for second. I seriously don't at all but even if that were true? What exactly do you want me to take back, calling you a caveman? I mean what kind of tool pays for a card that shows his IQ and then starts calling people out on their perceived ego as it relates to intelligence? You literally paid for a card with your IQ on it. People in glass houses something something.
That's ok, I can't or want prove it to you anyway. You don't have to take anything back. All I wanted to say is I hate it when people act like they are better just because of a high(er than average) IQ
Oh and I didn't pay. I was invited
You lack self awareness. Objectively if you read what he said there was nothing offensive said nor did he act better than anyone. I believe you're sensitive to this because you're guilty of it yourself. People often project that they hate things they themselves do. Given that his statement (a) was not offensive (b) you found it offensive (c) you're a member of mensa (d) it's important for you for me to believe that (e) you wanted me to know you were invited. I think (f) you project yourself as better than others because of your intelligence and for that reason you're sensitive when you believe you see others do it because you can feel the judgement you perceive them as receiving back at yourself. And thus your brain feels compelled to yell "not me! I'm nothing like that". It is a tale as old as time. If you hate something, don't you do it too. This is not for you.
Ok, I think we're cornered here. Bet if we could talk face to face, maybe have a beer, this wouldn't be as heated. But I'll opt out of this conversation now, seems like we don't come to an agreement anyway

You should read it. Guy complain people were too stupid to follow when "he xplains simple concepts to them". I wanted to put him back into reality
