indeed we are snowflakes

otherwise everyone under a certain IQ ought to just qualify to live on disability
why is that, though?

I feel like we're just extra self conscious about Intelligence cause it supposedly defines us

We have no problem ranking people based on athletic ability, for example.

I never cited an article about training the brain to do better on IQ tests.

Saying I contradicted myself with out saying how.

Calling me stupid or saying I don't know how not to be a juggalo [homophobic slur] is insulting.
I'll give you the last one.

You're not giving me anything because I already know the other 3 to be true. Whether or not you admit to it is irrelevant to that truth.

I feel like this should be as obvious as the idea that there are different types of cognitive ability.

You mean you probably won't because I assume somebody else would have as they usually do.
