/g/ has the highest iq, /sci/ is probably in second place, then /his/ and after that maybe /lit/ though i'm not sure if it seems just higher iq to other boards due to the topics rather than quality of discussion, tis very likely that /a/ has a higher iq than this board

Highest IQ individual posters: yes, along with /sci/. However, there is no doubt that /sci/ is completely lacking in verbal intelligence - one of the many tradeoffs of autism, whereas the philosophychads on /lit/ remain the true renaissance men of wit. I tip my fedora to all of thee.

Now on average however, the answer is no. It only takes 5 of you mouthbreathers until my personal contribution to the average IQ is muddied with midwittery. The same goes for /sci/, but there is a higher barrier of entry into the hard sciences than there is into literature and philosophy, thus allowing them a higher average IQ.

This board has a lower IQ than average

This board is filled entirely with the biggest pseudos imagineable, christcucks desperately trying to justify their religion instead of just having faith, literal armchair philosophy philosophers, self help faggots, "sigma males", retards think that there is only one right way anyone should read books, authors trying to shill their garbage books via memes, and bakker posting, which is either Bakker himself or a handful of dudes memeing his books into the ground.

Yesterday I had to explain in an anti-vax thread on /pol/ how per capita works.
They had found some data on how some 220 people had died of COVID after getting vaxxed, whereas only 190 unvaxxed had died. They considered this a smoking gun proving that the vaccine was dangerous, causing an excess of deaths.
Included in the data was that 12.7% of the population was unvaxxed and 87.3% where vaxxed.
It took three very didactic posts to make a few of them admit they were retarded, and the rest moved the goalpost and claimed that the data they themselves had been fawning over as their smoking gun moments before was actually fake.
/pol/ is absolutely and aggressively retarded, no question about it.

In a sense, derailing threads just mean alternative points of view. 4chan isn't some reddit echochamber, /pol/ isn't exactly a containment board either. If holocaust deniers make you so angry, then argue with them. I'm sorry you can't downvote them into oblivion? What do you want from me?

derailing means that the topic is changed to something unrelated to the thread
so yeah maybe my example about holocaust denial wasn't really good either.

But the point is that it kills any discussion because they're posting their sources from conspiracy.net and always get 10 (you)s cause there are 10 people falling for it every time

and I don't care that they disagree but some topics are really annoying.

The only board of intellect is /biz/ because they, unlike those on this board, understand that IQ applied allows for a substantial gains, and they also understand that a boards population of brainlets can be used as financial cannon fodder.
The true giga-chad 4channer is the /Biz/Lit/erati. Make no mistake however, the median level of IQ between these two boards would be substantially higher were it not for the Pajeet and Ranjeeshi tourists from /sp/, /s/ and /int/ who probably drop the aggregate score at least ten to twenty points.
