IQ 78 moment

Named after IQ 78 being the average IQ of Indonesian people, "IQ 78 moment" refers to the moments that showcase the inability for Indonesian people with an IQ of 78 to understand complex things or scientific concepts (and phenomena).

When my friend tried to explain quantum physics but just ended up confused, we all had an IQ 78 moment—sometimes complex ideas just fly over our heads!

Low IQ Situation

A set of circumstances one finds himself in that are a direct result of complying with unreasonable demands, hasty decision making, or social pressure. The situation has no upside, and in fact, is a drain on time, creativity, and resources well after the situation has ended.

Fatigue caused by prolonged exposure to low IQ situations transforms unwilling participants into instigators.

He got himself in one too many Low IQ Situations with his ex-girlfriend that eventually he got addicted to drugs to cope and now he can’t even be in a social setting without embarrassing himself.

IQ Existential Crises

A process by which one has spent heaps of time researching IQ and finally starts questioning if knowing one's IQ has any purpose beyond hubris.

X:...What is the point of IQ? What does knowing this number do?? Is it all to grandiose my ego? Will it ever help me in the future? Why have I spent so much time on this useless topic?
Y: There is no point... You seem to be having a case of IQ Existential Crises.

IQ

A bogus concept that claims to be a measure of intelligence, but in reality, is as problematic as using BMI as a measure of healthy weight. IQ tests have been demonstrated to be culturally biased (that is, they rely heavily on questions that presuppose knowledge of white, Western culture). In reality, intelligence isn't something people are born with varying amounts of, it's a muscle that people choose to exercise or not, and just about anyone (save for the PROFOUNDLY cognitively disabled) can be smart or stupid, depending on whether they choose to be observant of what's really going on around them, pay attention to detail, and learn from experiences both positive and negative, or just walk around the world like a dumbass with their head in the sand. There are many more stupid people in the world, because stupidity is the path of least resistance, being smart takes effort. Some people are better with numbers, memorizing patterns, spatial orientation, sure, but that isn't intelligence, those are just specific skills that people will naturally have varying degrees of. True intelligence or stupidity isn't something that's inborn, it's a choice to pay attention, make good decisions, and seek out helpful information, or not. The fact that so many high-IQ people are good at taking tests, but are complete and utter dumbasses in every other facet of life, should put to rest the idea that IQ means anything at all, but unfortunately, this very stupid myth still persists.

The fact that there are high-IQ people who advocate fascism, but my ex-girlfriend who is technically learning-disabled, and so bad with directions that she could get lost in a NYC street grid, volunteers her time passionately to help immigrants and low-income people, and taught herself Spanish, proves that IQ has jack-all to do with actual intelligence.
