Question

Anyone who pays ANY attention to anything CNN and the other media of their ilk says is ABSOLUTLY NOT the shiniest tool in the shed!! Watching them for any reason than entertainment value and a good laugh, rather than news or facts, is completely absurd!!
If someone puts a fork into an electric outlet, they might be a retard!
If someone puts their head into a toilet and then flushes, they might be a retard!
If someone jumps into the bear enclosure at the Zoo and starts throwing rocks at the bears, they might be a retard!!
If someone puts a straw up their nose in order to snort Coke and it's the kind you drink, they might be a retard!
If someone spends $10,000,000 to try to win another $1,000,000, they might be a retard!!

Not listening. Immediately going with a knee jerk reaction, never stress testing their own beliefs. Doesn't ask questions. Or their questions are shit.

Thinking that debate and argument are the same thing. Point of debate is to talk into a better solution and argument is ego inflation.

As someone who’s coached thousands of students and professionals, I strongly advise: don’t use “low intelligence” as a lens. It’s misleading and often harmful.

What people usually mislabel as “low intelligence” are often:
- Gaps in education or reading.
- Poor sleep, stress, anxiety, or depression.
- Lack of practice with critical thinking.
- Weak communication or language skills.
- Low confidence or fear of judgment.

I’ve watched many “slow” learners excel once they had support, structure, and encouragement. Focus on identifying skills to build, not judging overall intelligence.

Very low... I'd think about cognitive impairment, which is going to be blatant enough as soon as any interaction starts.
