      I would say for the most part that people here are of above average intelligence, but are immature and lacking in common sense.


      Oh, I forgot to mention selfish and arrogant.
      So..

      I am not selfish, arrogan, lacking in common sense (whatever that is), nor immature... I'm not, I'm not, I'm not! You big poopy-head.

        If the general population was not different from people on poly, the world (and the solar system) would be a definitive mess

        Ergo

        People on poly are different from the general population.

          Japher, you are not a typical Apolytoner. You are just as intelligent, if not more intelligent than most here though.

                  I intended to vote for the first option, but after reading all these stupid replies I'm not so sure.

                  Of course we're more intelligent, and I'm proud to be part of it!

                    If you can fin Europe on a map of the world than you are more intelligent than the general populace of the US... That's for sure.

                            Apolytoners on average would be smarter than the " average population", all other things being equal,as by definition, an apolytoner must know how to type and be somewhat literate.

                            Therefore the apolyton population would not include any number of persons with serious mental diseases or deficets, the illiterate etc.

                            By excluding these people at the very bottom, we are above the average even if apolytoners are decidedly average when compared with people with the minimum intellectual capacity required to use a computer

                            and che . . . what type of wilderness ?

                            I Would do quite well in most temperate forests or plains and even moderately well in a tundra environment ( assuming suitable clothing)

                            In a jungle or desert environment . . . well it was nice knowing you

                            The difference in the situations highlights the difference in "knowledge" and intelligence. I lack knowledge about tropical/equatorial environments but that makes me no more or less smart.

                              To even suggest that any one of us could be more intelligent than the mighty Banana is somehow a heresy.
                              I watched you fall. I think I pushed.

                                I love polls like this. Of course the majority of folks are going to vote for "we're smarter!" Cos it makes us feel good....

                                I'd not bet the ranch on it tho. I voted no.
