He took the test did really well.
He said he wanted me to join too.
After the test when he was so tired he was falling asleep on the couch
I fixed one problem for him. Later I asked him if he knew the answer and he did. It was one of those sloppy mistakes made when it got late.
Anyways he got in.
After he told me how fucked up some Mensa members are I decided to not join myself.
The Ayn Randians and the ones that think ogliarchy is good would have pissed me off to no end.
Anyway so much comes down to
Are you a person who sees the good in people and want to help humanity or are you a narcissist projecting your own undesirable traits on humanity following hack "philosophies" like Ayn Rand or Leo Strauss to rationalise your damn pathology?
Some people are assholes first intelligence gets subordinated to assholiness or paranoia with some people especially rich people.
