Interesting/relatable/informative What’s something associated with low IQ that someone who has a higher one wouldn’t understand?

And the other way around?

My mind goes back to sixth grade when I made a 'modest proposal' as a class presentation that didn't land well. Being both anti-war and anti-pollution, I proposed that we dump our toxic and nuclear waste on our enemies. I'm pretty sure they all thought I was psycho. I was very easy-going and responsible so I'm sure the teacher was like WTF?

God I just laughed so hard 😂😂😂😂 Like for a 6th grader that’s not a terrible conclusion to come to, honestly 😂😂

Well, I meant for it to be satire like in "A Modest Proposal," but I couldn't be normal enough to say so when people took it seriously.
