The link between EQ and IQ. Just my two cents here—speculating a bit. From what I can tell, IQ really comes down to perception and how fast you process what you see. Basically, your brain looks at everything around you and flags it as either familiar or unknown, and then decides if it’s dangerous or safe. If it picks up too many signals that feel unknown or risky, it triggers fear—ranging from just a little unease to full-on panic—just to get you away from "danger" as fast as possible.
Now, picture someone who perceives *everything* (super high sensitivity), but doesn't have a fast enough processing speed to keep up. That person is basically living in a state of constant anxiety. On the flip side, someone who doesn't notice much but processes things lightning-fast is going to be pretty chill, even in a "scary" environment.
So, the sheer amount of data you can process—that's IQ. But the ratio between how much you perceive versus how much you process? That's EQ.
People who are highly perceptive are forced to develop higher intelligence just to cope, basically leveling up their IQ to balance out the perception and reach a sense of equilibrium—or, you know, actual happiness.
mistybison said:The way you pitch your ideas really matters—like, are you just sharing your own perspective and opening up your world, or are you basically trying to bulldoze someone else into changing? Most people are pretty sensitive and hate feeling attacked, so how you frame an argument can totally make or break whether anyone actually listens to you. You see this all the time on internet forums, too. People who act cocky or rude usually end up getting shut down—not even because their point was wrong, but just because they were being jerks about it. It shouldn't work that way, but let's be real, people get emotional easily and it's hard to stay level-headed when someone's coming at you hot.
Collected thoughts on how food affects brainpower.
It’s pretty simple! Back in the day—during that brutal struggle for survival—men were out hunting. Women stayed back in the cave, keeping the fire going while waiting for the catch. They just ate whatever was available until something was actually hunted. He’s out there grabbing fresh greens. She’s at the cave—eating preserved stuff. So here's my take. Intelligence is basically a byproduct of diet. Specifically, eating fresh plants. Which makes men more intelligent. The guy who didn't snag the kill—who ended up munching on veggies instead—is the smart one.
I think we've cleared everything up. __________________
Okay, even if I grant you that vegetarians are smarter, so what? Should I start a thread called, "Let's look smarter, eat more kale"?? There’s an old saying: "Man wants to be a bird, but he's just crap." No matter how much we dress it up, eventually we all have to strip down, take a dump, and wipe ourselves with our hands—while trying to hide the fact that we're doing it. So if vegetarians really are smarter, I'm starting this thread: "Let's look smarter: use three-ply toilet paper" __________________
If I stopped eating meat, my IQ would probably hit 200—just like how I'd live to 100 if I didn't smoke. __________________
Plants don't deserve to be eaten since they haven't eaten anyone. Animals deserve to be eaten because they eat others. What goes around comes around. __________________
The whole vegetarian thing is just people projecting their love for stuffed animals (the ones they had as kids) onto actual living creatures (now that they're adults). Some people treat cars the exact same way. Me? Even though I'm "grown," I still let myself love my plushies. __________________
The whole vegetarian thing... I think people just take that childhood love for stuffed animals which are usually little critters (back when we were kids), and they project it onto actual living creatures (now that they're adults). Some folks do the exact same thing with their cars, I guess. Me? Even though I'm "grown up," I still let myself be soft for my plushies.
Thomas Stewart97 said:Better keep that in mind. WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND. If you honestly think you can get away with feeding off the suffering of helpless animals without consequences—well, you're dead wrong. Karma always collects its debt.
So, what you're saying is... I won't die from dying unless I actually cause someone else's death?
Plants don't deserve to get eaten—they haven't exactly gone out hunting anyone. Animals? Sure, they deserve it since they’re out there eating things themselves. I guess you reap what you sow, right? Just a little karma.
Some snob said:even if they're just trolling Someone already pointed out—and honestly, they're right—that a better headline would be "if smarter people didn't eat meat."
If I quit meat, my IQ would hit 200—just like how if I quit smoking, I'd live to be 100.
I bet some girl is gonna jump in here saying some guys have way more than they can count once the pants come off. Trust me, they do—it’s all just little marbles anyway.
So yeah, Krvnik-će, the number isn't 21, it's actually 23.
Okay, even if I concede that vegetarians are smarter, what’s the move? Start a thread called, "Let's look smarter—eat more greens"?? There's this saying: "A guy might wish he were a bird, but he's just a mess." No matter how fancy you package it, eventually we all have to strip down, take care of business, and wipe ourselves—all while trying to act like nobody saw. So, if we've officially decided vegetarians have higher IQs, here's my new topic: "Let's look smarter—use three-ply toilet paper"
Krvnik said: what's the connection here? is it diet-related? genetics? maybe just using—or not using—the brain? or is it just because they don't need to be smart? what's the deal?
It's actually pretty simple! Back in the day—during that brutal survival struggle--men were out hunting. Women stayed back in the cave, keeping the fire going and waiting for the catch. And they had to eat something while waiting. He’s out in the field—eating fresh greens. She’s in the cave—eating stored rations. So, here's the takeaway. Intelligence comes down to diet. Specifically, fresh, plant-based stuff. That's why man being intelligent is the norm. The guy who didn't land the big kill—and stuck to the veggies instead—ends up smarter.
So, there’s this split gaining traction lately among music psychologists—and even occupational therapists who deal with music therapy—where they categorize music into three buckets: stuff for the heart, stuff for the brain, and stuff for the feet.
Just adding my two cents here. Country music is basically something you listen to with your lower half. If porn is just imagery meant to be "watched" with your genitals, then country music is essentially the soundtrack to that experience—let's call it "pornophony." If we can ever truly figure out the profile of people who watch porn, we’ll probably crack the psychology behind country music too. My takeaway? People without certain... equipment... aren't really the target audience for country music.😁
Vegetarians have taken over— they know the system and they’re making a mess of things. They’re messing with our market share, and honestly, it’s getting kind of embarrassing to be one of us.
Vegetarians stole my whole brand, it’s become this massive federal trend, while we're being pushed underground— like, where do we even find a base or some hope on some secret channel?
Oh, you vegetarians, you've got everything in your hands, but why go and throw it all away? Just leave a little something for the rest of us. Vegetarians, brothers and countrymen, be chill for a second and tone it down!
Vegetarians in all the key positions. Vegetarians dominating the nightly news. On giant, colorful billboards everywhere, wherever I turn, I can't escape their voices.
Vegetarians dating our girls. Vegetarians embedded in every organization. From labor unions to major sports, there's a vegetarian at every door, their time is coming!
Oh, vegetarians...
They don't have any real vision, now everyone's just calling for concrete jungles. But dreams are still floating out there, somewhere between the suburbs and the city. We're entering an era of amateurs, just living comfortably in their own little bubbles. This hybrid class is growing fast right in that middle ground between rural and urban.

The ideologues running this whole competition—the ones who basically view war as the end goal—they aren't listening to what regular people actually listen to. They’re out there partying at these super expensive, high-end spots that we can't even get near. There was this one piece of graffiti I used to pass all the time that really hit home for me. It said: "No peace between classes, no peace between nations"
I just can't—and honestly, I won't—party their way.
Why even put people in boxes? I believe in God, but I don't really want the "theist" label. I don't actually know what God is—but I'm definitely not an atheist. I can't say for sure if God exists, yet I'm not feeling the whole agnostic thing either. The three of us are cool as we are, so quit gambling over who belongs where.
Don't go looking for the meaning of life. It's already right there—just hanging around you every day—you just gotta notice it, soak it in, and marvel at how beautifully chaotic everything is... stuff logic just can't touch.
You could honestly take any country song and turn it into a parody—make it sound all classy and sophisticated if you wanted to. Honestly, any "sophisticated" track can basically be boiled down to a country song—if you strip away all the pretension. Honestly, it’s just the flair—that whole theatrical, over-the-top acting vibe—that sets them apart. Who played her again? — I can't for the life of me remember. No matter what I do—even if I’m just sitting there with a raspy voice, a shot of bourbon in hand, and my shirt unbuttoned—it all ends up on the table... I’ll just take one look at my sweaty socks—it’ll definitely trigger some awkward vibes, unless everyone here is just being polite, I guess—so that’s probably the most relatable thing I can say.
I feel like music just hits different—it really resonates with our emotions, you know? Like, it actually touches something deep inside us. Using music as a personality test seems like a pretty cool idea—though I know Mud Scientist is probably gonna have thoughts on that. He's being ironic... (btw—do you guys wash your hands before every single meal? apparently that's a question on some personality test). Tell me exactly which melody you listen to—not just the genre, but the actual tune—and I'll know if I should walk up to you or run for the hills.😲 😁
