15+ Self-Proclaimed Geniuses Who Have Nothing to be Smug About

Ever notice how the dumbest people tend to overestimate their abilities the hardest? On the other hand, people who perform higher at a given task are more likely to underestimate their abilities. It's called the Dunning-Kruger Effect, and the internet is full of examples. If you ever catch a self-proclaimed genius beginning an argument with their IQ score in the comment section of a Reddit thread, simply throw in "Dunning-Kruger" and watch how spicy the thread gets. 

We've collected a bunch of cringey examples of galaxy-brained intellectuals whose infinite brilliance is too much for our puny minds to handle.

    Who hurt you?

    Font - There are plenty of times when I'll go online, and see two idiots throwing the phrase dunning-kruger back at each other. Look at that, I called them idiots, intelligence gives me this falsetto superiority complex. My IQ is 130, and I would say I reap the benefits of it. Once you get an IQ over 126 you are less likely to succed in life due to the correlation between intelligence and mental illness. Well, I'm not exception to that, I have OCD, Anxiety, Depression, and Bipolar, the big 4. Bu

    Mr. Engineer coming in hot

    Product - how do you know someone's an engineer.? they'll tell you! Like · Reply · 5 d 13 do you know why? Because most people are goddamned morons compared to us. The average engineer has, literally, a genius level IQ- the college kid getting a C+ on his engineering exams is probably smarter than 95% of anyone you knew in college. We learn more math and science before even starting our engineering degrees than most people do in a lifetime. We know more than you, we think faster than you, and we

    Organism - "People run from rain but sit in bathtubs full of water." Charles Bukowski (via bittersweetsongs) | Wow bukowski so profound do you also bathe fully clothed you dickhead. "Oohh isn't it funny that a person will eat when they're hungry but will duck if you throw an apple at their face"

    There's a reason why Bukowski was every incel's champion when I was a teenager. Sure, he could be an insightful writer sometimes. But he was also full of empty platitudes.

    So humble

    Font - 19d Lmao why do people write like this. You sound like a pseudointellectual idiot lol G Reply + • 19d I'm not going to indulge a heated altercation with an online identity, but if you're going to flail derogatory insults - expend an effort in understanding them first. 'Pseudointellectual' implies a willingness, on my part, to exert the impression of being an intellectual character. On the contrary, I couldn't give a rat's arse about what you, or anybody else has to say on the matter. It's
