    Most smart people doing smart person things don’t give a shit about Mensa, because they have enough self-esteem from their normal life to not have to desperately prove to others that they are smart and have value. It is a pointless org yes. It’s just a place for a certain segment of nerd to self-saturate in their own arrogance.

        There’s a pretty great podcast called “my year in MENSA” where a comedian named Jamie Loftus accidentally passes the test to get in and documents it. It’s only 4 episodes and it was kinda interesting.

        BTW its a white lady and not a man.
