that moment when Robin, who definitely admits of not being the brightest guy in the room, is actually smarter than anybody who claims to have 42069 IQ in that subreddit curation.
No one as quick-witted as Robin can be dumb.
The Willie Brothers from Home On the Range are smarter than people like that.
People who recognize their limits are often smarter than those who won't.
Well that's because nobody is claiming to have 42069 IQ 🤓🤓🤓
People who think they know everything know nothing
Respect for this guy for being homeless until age 19 and still getting *multiple* college degrees by age 16
Nobody can tell me that 80 % of those people didn't just watch good will hunting
On the other hand, three goddamn degrees and it still took him another 3 years to find a place to live? At that point the only excuse is that he wanted to be the modern day Diogenes, except Diogenes wouldn't give a fuck about a bit of paper saying he knows stuff.

An actualy smart person dosen't brag about it as they know the one and only thing it does is make them into jerks
“The smarter you are the stupider you feel” is a quote I cannot remember the source of but it is pretty accurate, as the smarter you are the stupider you feel around people that are smarter then you even though you are still smarter then most people
Along with the ability to be aware of your shortcomings and self awareness when you are… well more self aware, which is part of intelligence

this math problem makes me happy.
As someone in the mental health field, compulsive liars are some of the worst people I have ever had as patients. They refuse treatment, blame it on something insignificant (such as the place they are getting treated at) and refuse treatment all the way up to the time the court said they were required to stay or the two weeks is up and they can and will make multiple various complaints to hire ups about them not getting treatment but when referred to notes, voice recordings and supervised visits they are proven wrong. I work at a drug center as an LCDC, aside from narcissists, compulsive liars are some of the worst patients. Especially when they're there due to a CPS case that involves very very young kids.
Though patients lying isn't uncommon in my field, you get lies that range from "I'm a therapist myself." To "I'm in the army and I can have you killed." Compulsive liars are the terrifying part of my job due to just how unpredictable they are and admittedly before getting my certification I was almost positive a compulsive liar is someone that would be on the lower tier of dangerous people, boy was I wrong.
I've started using "Explain it to me like I'm 5" unironically because I have moments where I will know something, but it's so far back in my memory that the explanation helps jumpstart my ability to be smart.
Or I'll learn something. Either way, it's a phrase that, if used correctly, can be very helpful for both parties.
Great response to like racist jokes to, "I don't get it, please explain the joke"

The best response that I've come across so far. 👏🏻👏🏻

@@WolfgangDoW YES!!! You're the greatest. Keep being you.
I'm so glad I didn't have social media like it exists today when I was a teen. I most definitely would have been one of those annoying book gatekeepers. It hurts to see what teenage me could have shared.
On a more positive note: these are most likely teenagers who will look back in 10 years and be ashamed of the things they said.
in scientific terms, they'll cringe themselves later
I swear I’m already cringing at what i said 6 months ago 💀
6 months passed,, ya cringing? @@mapleflower
Fun fact: in germany "tuna" translates into Thunfisch which literally means "tunafish" if somebody said "Ich möchte Thun essen" nobody would know what they mean lol
Basically "I want to eat tun" which means NO SENSE
Essen means food right?
@@Spoingus_BarnApple it means to eat ^^
(in this context) it can also just mean food
Imagine ordering “butter” sushi, instead of saying butterfish
5:27 my IQ is 80, that's twenty below average and I'm Autistic but I still got all A's in math and science. I'm a Herpetologist now and mainly study wild snakes in the area and some times submit my findings to our local Nature Center. IQ doesn't matter as much as some people think it does.
I love everything about your comment, and I agree completely. I especially love that you're doing you in the best way possible: you followed your interests and are actively living your interests/field of education. Very cool, friend.
Heck yay! Good on ya.
IQ is kinda BS. The tests aren't really reliable since most people don't learn the same way. My fiancé IQ is apparently around 150 or so, but he never brings it up bc he, "never uses it for anything". It doesn't really impact your life.
IQ is kinda like a measurement of the max clock speed on your brain. Having a higher IQ basically just means that you can theoretically grasp new concepts and parse new knowledge faster. That said, everyone is different and even someone with a _legitimately_ genius-level IQ may struggle with certain things that you may not.
My IQ is 154, which is pretty far above average. That does not automatically make me more knowledgeable in any subject than someone who has studied that subject for years. I will still take a second to process what you just said to me. I still can't solve word scrambles to save my life. What it does for me is make it so that I may not need to study very hard in order to pick up new things, and even then it's not a real advantage over someone who's just naturally inclined towards that thing.
Having a high IQ does not automatically make you smart, and being smart does not automatically make you right. You can pull up all the numbers in the world and still be an ignorant jackass, and you don't need to be a damn MENSA member to see that.
@@sylvrwolflol i'm sorry but you saying your iq us 154 just makes you sound like someone you'd on this subreddit to me
@@Maseruxer That was kind of the point, yeah. People whip it out like it's a dick measurement, but it's a largely pointless number. I have a higher number than most people yet I'm dumb and wrong all the time. It just makes me different, not better.
Like how some people get sunburns after minutes where others take hours, or how people just naturally tend towards different weights and heights.
If you wanna repost it there then be my guest, I intended it to be kind of like a reverse r/iamverysmart
I like how that guy in Q&A section misunderstood 'astronomy' and 'astrology'. Didn't know that in order to juggle tarot cards you need to have a PhD
Conserding the dumb shit they were saying and what they were talking about I'm sure they probably took a class on astrology.
And numerology??? It's another divination method, what was this person talking about
I don't think they confused the terms because they also said numerology. My question is, who is offering degrees in this stuff, and who is bragging about having paid for said degree??

You'd be surprised, I hear those things can be *slippery*
I know the line was probably 'never enter a battle of wits with a Sicilian' - a reference to the Princess Bride - but Robin's pronounciation turned it into 'caecilian', and I don't know if that was intentional or not but I am giggling about the idea of trying to argue with a tiny worm-like amphibian.
Yeah, I'd thought that too. But I admit, I'd confused them with the little round-headed snakes.
Ooh, those things freak me out.
Wouldn't be surprised if they harboured eldritch unspeakable knowledge.
Pretty sure the people on that subreddit are caecilians

That’s the one where people are more likely to give you a correct answer if you first give a wrong answer, right?
The whole "how did you study question" is one i get a lot too. or more like "how long did you study" when i was taking my bachelours, and my awnser was always "like 10 min right before the test". I than always had to explain that the whole 30 person class had like 2 people that actually payed attention to the teachers during the lectures and neither of us rly studied outside of class
I agree, Paying attention in school is the best way to pass the test
I was one of those people, and it sucked later when I actually ended up needing to study and didn’t know how
@@MortalOrder yeah same, what’s worse is that some stuff that you remembered fine isn’t retained in long term memory. although in a way i like subjects where the material builds on itself so that you are still using the information you learned. However something like history where events are spread out in location and time with many not having any connections to each other. Yeah there are a collection of historical moments where there are clear cause and effect connections
Agreed, I was always the same way. Plus, something about tests themselves was just always easier than the rest of school for me. Less that the material was easy, more something to do with how tests are written letting me guess more effectively.
And it's something hard to talk about without sounding like you're trying to humble brag, when it really just means my grades make me look smarter than I am
This video just makes me think of the old mantra, “never argue with an idiot, they’ll just bring you down to their level” and also the word “Sesquipedalian” since its the word for people who use large words unnecessarily
I am a self proclaimed bibliophile... That does not mean I read "smart people" literature, like only classic stuff. Honestly had no real interest in classical literature aside from Oscar Wilde. A bibliophile is someone who just loves books, which I do. Books make me happy. That's what that word means!

I get the feeling Robin is a looooot smarter than he lets on
Robin has admitted to being stupid and truth be told so am I.
I've always felt smart people are like nice people: the legitimate ones don't talk about how smart/nice they are because they always prove it
Actual science boys and gals are pretty humble creatures because their jobs require having a network of people you can ask to explain stuff to you because you can only really become a expert on a tiny slice of a tiny slice of science, so behaviour like this would just lead to you being cut off and incapable of doing work because you'd stumble on a problem your toolkit can't help you solve and have no one to ask for help because you basically antagonized anyone willing to help you.
Plus, if you do manage to do something noteworthy, someone else is gonna eventually come along and refine your work to the point where they basically prove every bit of what they did is either completely wrong, or such a massive oversimplification that it might as well be wrong. It might not happen in their lifetime, but if a scientist understands how science works, they know that this is what will need to happen to their own life's work for it to keep moving forward.
I picture Robin saying "I'm going home" only to close out the recording program, stand up and yell to his gf sitting 10 ft away "OH, HONEY, IM BACK FROM THE OFFICE!"
It's been five minutes and I give up. This subreddit is so terrible that I almost wish the covid I'm currently going through will develop a completely new symptom and erase this video from my memory. I'm very very glad that there are many amazing other EmKay-videos that will cheer me up again :D
It's a rough one. The comments are pretty cool, though.
You know, there was this kid at my high school who was kinda a douche.
He insisted he was so smart, and apparently tried to sign up for the mensa magazine (the smart people thing), but accidentally signed up for men's swimwear magazine.
I imagine all these people are like that. He was also super into anime, but in the stereotypical bad way. He was like the picture of classically annoying internet guy.
You know, my optometrist told me that the reason I have have blurry vision isn't because my eyes don't work, but because I have weak eye muscles so they don't focus together very well.
This is relevant because these posts made me roll my eyes so hard I think they're going to develop six-packs. Thanks "smart" people for correcting my vision! And I didn't even get past the first 10 minutes!
8:11 the highest iq ever recorded is 263. Makes sense that this person would think their iq is 298, they probably misread 29.8
The highest recorded is mine at 1000.
It’s incorrect, but I recorded it!
I’m terrified of coming off like that. I speak like an old man, and am obsessed with rare fish. It’s random crap that I love, and I fear it makes me sound like a jerk. On that note, hilarious video, good job!
No. Be you. Love what you love, and if others take offense to your intelligence or tease you because you seem smart or confident, eff 'em. The people in this video are insecure people trying to sound smart to impress, a world of difference. Keep being you, friend!
I think I used to be like this. Back in elementary school I was placed in the "advanced" section. I thought that meant I was smarter than my peers. What I learned after the fact was that what I actually have is a slightly above average memory. That slightly above average memory made me do well in early school. Which let me skate by without learning discipline. It wasn't until my senior year of highschool that I realized I was a just as much of a idiot as everyone else. The only difference is that I was struggling since I developed habits of laziness and wasn't punished for it until later on.
I've made a lot of progress in terms of work ethic. Which has allowed me to recently graduate with a good Bachelors degree with very average grades. I'm an average guy with a very slightly above average memory. And it hurts with embarrassment thinking about how many years I spent as a kid thinking I was some kind of genius. I really wish someone had told me what a dumb little turd I was a little sooner. I think that I would have snapped out of being like that sooner if I'd heard that instead of how "special" I was.
My biggest nightmare is saying something dumb and being put onto a subreddit like this
Don't worry, as long as you're not the most annoying, unlikable guy ever, you should be safe from this sub
That one about that vanity plate has me visualising Robin with a top hat and monocle as he reads it.
I hate when people ask me "what are you doing to my car?" I'm stealing your catalytic converter so i can sell it to buy crack. Don't waste my time with such feeble minded questions. It's rude.
''The ability to speak does not make you intelligent." And yet, these people are "answering" to others in the longest way possible.

9:20 this had me laughing
“Are you *ASKING* if you have a PhD in astrophysisicisisiphisis?”
For some reason when Robin mispronunces a word and then tells us he did it on purpose because, "I'm trying to be funny" it always makes me laugh.
I listened to this knowing it would make my head hurt hearing what these people wrote, but I always love hearing Robin's responses because they honestly make sense.
Me so smart, me go to place and brag about it, must use big word to sound smart, me am best. There we go I summed the whole video for you.
Ohh gosh this is going to be fun! This subreddit is crazy EmKay, y’all rock🎉❤
My brother started learning C++ when he was around 14 or so. He is actually pretty smart and he's still learning C++ 28 years later. Oh yeah, he's a programmer who programs in C++.
So, I actually am in a lot of ap classes (going to be a senior in high school), and it has taken a huge mental toll on me because my parents are always pushing me to “be better” and “work harder” when I already get low A’s and high B’s.
If these people actually *were* as smart as they say they are, I highly doubt they would brag about it on the internet. Hell, this is the first time I’ve mentioned this on the internet. Being smart isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, for me at least, it has lead to me developing depression and anxiety (both professionally diagnosed). Think before you type, people, and don’t brag about shit you don’t know about ❤
I can assure you that at least one person that is featured on the r/iamverysmart subreddit(person A) agreed with someone when the person B said person A belongs on the subreddit because person A thought it was a subreddit for smart people. Only for them to realize that the subreddit features people who tried to make themselves seem smart and being very obvious that they are not that smart.
At 7:47 - “I got AN simple office job”
….I call bs that he’s as much of a genius as he says with grammar like that. 😁
0:29 I'd believe that one actually because that shit happens to ME. Like I had this idea that the reason why you appear to shrink as you approach the speed of light is because you only have a maximum possible speed through space-time. As you travel faster through space, you do so by changing your direction from moving full speed towards the future, to moving full speed towards another direction in space....which causes you to lose speed in the direction of time. And as a result of turning to face a dimension we can't normally see, your body appears to become compressed in the direction of your motion. Similar to how if you pick up a playing card, say a Jack, and start to turn the card sideways, the character appears to become compressed, until it disappears entirely as you're looking at the straight edge of the card.
Aaaaaaand come to find out that's exactly what happens. Just with a lot of math to back it up, so it doesn't sound like a pot-fueled shower thought.
Thank you EmKay for making my day better
“when i was seven i could already read highly difficult literature, identify every element on the periodic table, speak fifteen languages, play ten instruments, and i made a very complex video game”
0:28 It has happened to me in maths. I accidentally ‘invented’ a theory that we learned in grade 7.

Fun Facts: We called it that because they used to all have a little multi colored stripe on their sign with the letters M A C largely printed and backlit.
Like, I am smart (not by a lot but enough to get onto a PhD program) but these conversations make me feel dumber and dumber by the minute. Not because they are smarter than me, but because they are the google translate of "intelligence"
As a test tube goblin with missing arms and 2 spleens, I feel superior to all beings.
Watching Robin rant to a quora question that is most likely a troll, or written by an AI is the highlight of my day.
Challenge: Try not to cringe or get annoyed.

It's really sad that lots of people with high IQ (granted they really do have high IQ) just cannot apply it to not post such BS and really do something useful for society. Also, 2+ standard deviations can be reached in both directions from the mean, so the joke's on them.
6:24 it's Poincaré, a French scientist's last name.
Guaranteed most of these jerks don't have the education and experience under their belt that they say they do. They're insecure and want respect or attention, and they found a crappy way to try for it. You sound like a true smarty party! I love it.

You can always trust on stupid people to endlessly talk and boast about how smart they are. Intelligence also shows in knowing when to keep quiet

My Favorited thing about the vanity plate one. Is the fact that they apparently think horses would offended by some dude driving an asshole car with such a plate, like he was shaming their brethren.

3:56 a GED is for someone who never properly completed high school, so good for him I guess. ASVQB scores are measured in percentiles, so good job being worse than 120 out of 100 people. The president thing is just a fancy way of saying 95 GPA on a 100 point scale, it isn't possible to earn "multiple degrees by age 16" (not with a 164 IQ, at least. Try >350)
Edit: My bad, he said _line_ scores for the ASVAB. Basically, the ASVAB is a military test in the US for certain jobs, I'm not gonna get into it, but the line scores basically add together 2 testing categories to see how well you would fit in a certain job, so 120s in those categories would be 60s in the subcategories, putting him in the low-to-mid 90s for percentiles. Also, I got it backwards, obviously 120s percentiles would be better than 120 out of 100 people, not worse. This is not a significant achievement considering that I, probably the 20-30th smartest person in my ~800 person school, got a 99th percentile in 7/11 categories, and many kids got that in more.
Basically high scores in the AS(S)VAB mean jack shit. Unless you're going into the military.
Alternate title: Robin gets increasingly more annoyed for 35 minite.

It's like that Game Of Thrones quote, "Anyone who has to say that they are King, is not the true king." The same can be said about these guys or Nice Guys ®.
Paradigm… I def sounded that out, thanks for teaching me the real way to say it.
A truly smart person can explain stuff in a simple manner which others can understand. If you can't explain a subject in a simpler form then you probably don't understand that subject as much as you think. This is why anyone who insult others intelligence for not understanding their subject is probably does not understand it fully themselves.
In short never tell someone they are to stupid to understand as it usually just means you lack the knowledge to explain. Best way to see if someone is truly smart is to act dumb and try to get them to explain something to you
There is a difference between knowledgeable and smart, but I can see your point. Being smart but not knowing how to formulate your thoughts is not ideal, and it is very important to learn conversarional skills through practise if you want to explain anything in great detail. It also makes you seem smarter.

to be fair to the poster, it’s a common joke among online autistic and ADHD communities that we can be totally incomprehensible, especially to neurotypical people, when talking about our special interests, because we use sciencey jargon or fake fandom words or whatever. this post is probably excessively obtuse on purpose as a joke about it.

I 100% believe that one student when they say they earned the Presidential Award of Academic Excellence. In America, all you need to do to get that is get a 3.5 GPA or higher out of 4.0 or scaled as such (so basically what most schools around me give the lowest honors award for). It's cool I guess, but I'm not even sure if an employer would care all that much, much less someone on Twitter.
