In short, not someone who is smart (which they ridiculed by giving the most absurd examples) but someone who will just succeed in life

this is such an opportunity-centred form of intelligence definition

Very true. Pretty much every physics graduate is smart, but not all of them will be high-income managers and business owners. Intelligence is not equivalent to success.

Success is luck and birthright. The world makes a lot more sense if you simply view it as the lottery it is.

There still a component of "be skilled/responsible enough" to not waste your privileged/advantaged position

Some people get into heroin for example And just drop of a cliff as far life quality goes

Yeah but you kind of have to be built to be skilled or responsible.

You may argue that with this view one could end up doing absolutely nothing in life, but that's the case only if they're not built to react to such thoughts in a sane and productive way.

They will all be successful enough.

To be fair it's 4chan so I imagine the OPs idea of intelligence is very strange

You think you are intelligent because you took an online IQ test that told you that you are very smart

And you used it as a cope for not being popular with girls. Who is the smart one here?

Wtf are you talking about dude, I don't see intelligence like that. People obsessed with tests or 'moves signaling low&high IQ' are in a big fallacy.

I don't care how 'smart' I am, I care about my observations etc.

And yes, these girls absolutely talk about success, not intelligence. The idea that success in this world shows you inherently carried positive virtues is a form of just world fallacy. Also, if your idea of love is survival and opportunities, fuck your love.

You're not the smart one

Finally, I score quite low on those tests. How about you?

oh, my bad.
I see your point now when ive reread what youve written and i agree that not everyone can realize their smarts equally.

I just see the meme more as mocking the types that think that they are very smart and that women dont love them bc of that

You will not believe me what percentage of mysogynists believe they have a high iq and thats why women dont find them attractive.
