A logical fallacy where one dismisses an argument by attacking the opponent's intelligence, typically with variations of "you're stupid." The fallacy lies in treating IQ as a proxy for correctness, as if being less intelligent automatically makes someone wrong about a particular claim. "You're too dumb to understand" becomes a way of avoiding engagement, a preemptive dismissal that requires no evidence and addresses no substance. This fallacy is the lazy debater's favorite: rather than explain why a position is wrong, simply assert that only stupid people would hold it, thereby positioning oneself as intelligent without demonstrating any actual intelligence through reasoned argument.
Example: "He couldn't explain why her economic analysis was flawed, so he just called her stupid. Argumentum Ad Intelligentiam: when you can't win the argument, attack the arguer's IQ."

A psuedo-intellectual person who thinks their degree gives them a higher level of ability or social status.
They will often look down on people without a degree (or those who don't declare their degree) even though their distinct lack of experience leads then to make more mistakes than any person they consider below them.

FMSI also refers to a personalized internal system used to impose structure, hierarchy, and coherence on internal processes during periods of instability or transformation.
Fluid Multi-Domain Symbolic Intelligence, or FMSI, is a process that is universal to all human beings, but unique in it's configuration to each depending on the user personalized input over time.
Example: Person A and Person B are saying the same thing but they do not understand the symbolic significance of their own individual FMSI. Person A is overlaying his FMSI on top of Person B's FMSI; and vice versa. Person A and Person B are arguing even though they actually agree.

It’s basically a moving baseline of “AI smart enough” that will always look outdated in hindsight. It's not what AI actually can do, but what we, stuck in the present, assume it should do one day.
In 2025, people might say a “generic intelligent” AI should be able to wash dishes, write essays, drive cars, and do taxes.
In 2050, those same expectations might sound dumb, because maybe no one even has dishes, homework, or taxes anymore.

Back in the 1800s, artificial generic intelligence would’ve been an AI that milks cows and writes letters for you. Now that’s writing essay and doing taxes, in future would there even be any need of essays.
