Anyone that applies to join Mensa is automatically a dork of the largest degree.
Have most MENSA members done anything notable outside of perhaps being rich? It seems that for most ‘high IQ’ people, it just means being able to rotate shapes in your head and recognize patterns without actually being noteworthy or contributing to anything that matters.
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.
The smartest people I've ever met didn't care about being smart, but they had high paying smart people jobs anyway to fund their massive furry suit collection.
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.
Isn't their cutoff 95th percentile, aka 1 in 20 people? Basically anyone can get in.
I like how Tom understands the gist of a stand up routine, and just does a facsimile of one as a career.
Like Tom's impression of what a comedian is is much closer to reality than Elon's (lifelong attempt at an) impression of a genius.
I must confess, I had no idea this was a Tom Myers bit and that Cum Town has actually made fun of this specific bit in the past.
It is a small world after all.
elon's only like that because he underwent a bong hit transplant
I sent this to a group chat and a friend of mine recognized it as Tom Myers.

yeah, its been mocked endlessly on chapo and possibly chapo adjacent podcasts iirc
My friend worked with him a few times and says he deserves all of the hate
I'm just learning now this specific bit and the guy who made it has actually already been mocked on Cum Town

I hope this guy keeps doing these, I really liked the time when Patrick Doran and Jesse Farrar would troll standup shots with joke memes like "I was sucking a dick like it's a crap" and draw confused anger. https://x.com/podaboutlist/status/1149360736625463301
