Only geniuses welcome.

Mensa is a group of wankers trying to explain phenomenology to one another.

I have an IQ in the mid-130s which puts me in the top 2% of the population for intelligence but my emotional intelligence is zero.

I passed the Mensa entrance exam decades ago. I took the Groucho Marx option.

Yeah, I passed the exam but never paid a membership fee. I'd rather hang out with smart people, than "merely" intelligent, and Mensa has all sorts. There is not enough for me in that club to "unionise" my intellect.

I qualify as well, but anyone I've ever met who was a member was a stuffed shirt. Not my type.

Which is why I avoided the so called 'Brights' group when they were a thing. Are they still arround?

Anything to do with Richard Dawkins is suspicious in my opinion.

Yup, and I wouldn't join them, either. The name alone is good for an eyeroll.

It must be so full of egos I'm surprised they can all fit.

They'll tell you.  ;)

Yep. I've known a few perfectly OK Mensa members, but far too many tend to think far too highly of their mental faculties, which... IIs OK when it's deserved, buuut... Isn't always so.
