It hurts that you guys aren't smart anymore like you were 10+ years ago. Now I don't know where to go to read intelligent takes anymore and expand my mind. Instead I read takes so dumb my IQ drops. I'm not even sure an intelligent place on the internet even exists anymore at this point. I crave intelligence.

This was never an intelligent place.

What would you even do if you found an intelligent place on the Internet?

you're the only smaht one left
c'mon tell me something smaht

>>508417840 (OP)
The entry fee to the smart places is finding them. If you belong there you'll find it. That simple. Filters put normies now that everyone has a computer in their hand.
If you can't find where the smart people are you don't belong with the smart people.

No shit, normalfags found out about here.
I only came to this site as an underage in 2012 and even then normalfags where starting to go to other boards too, but back then /pol/ was a lot slower too.

Probably be elevated by discourse that pulls you up and educates you, rather than pulls you down.

>>508417840 (OP)
We are still here. Arguing philosophy or history is a moot point with philosemites controlling most corridors of power and normies being too stupid to redpill fully. Sure we can talk back and forth about the nuances of the Bolshevik revolution or cultural marxism or any other topic. It doesnt matter anymore. We are in the endgame. We have been since fucking covid and biden stealing the election.

What good does having intelligent discussion at this point accomplish? What esoteric knowledge do you want? What can possibly be so earth shattering at this point other than what we know.

We figured out pizzagate
gamergate
dug hard into the fraud of 2020
unite the right was semi organized on here
alot of Jan 6 people were posting here

What possible secret philosophical redpills do you want? What horrors do you want to know about that havent been revealed?

>>508417840 (OP)
Dunno what to tell you anon, people seem to simplify their thoughts now that they know they are being read

Polite even to criminal intrusion

>>508417840 (OP)
Grind competition. Hamming is gay.

4chan like anything was better when smartphones were not in the pocket of 99% of the population.
Back then you needed to sit down in a fucking chair, in a computer, open your browser and post
Now you have retards posting from their bed, dick in hand with a porn site on background

I wish I could've enjoyed more of that golden age. Of course it had bad things like low speeds, but I believe it was better for dopamine

Anyway, your post is kind of stupid because in any case 4chan was never an intellectual place - its a social website to discuss stupid shit (originally even anime...).

Just read books

>>508417840 (OP)
>Where is the intelligence?
Get with the times, old man.
The topic is government mind control, and retarded schizos have more insight on it than educated smart boys.
Remote monitoring
Matrix building
Bots with a strange nonsensical or esoteric flavor.
They do it to drunks, and it's antihuman as fuck, so it's not like normal people are safe from it.
Some actual bad bible story shit

Even in just the last few months, I feel as though the average IQ at /pol/ has been collapsing noticeably.

Not sure where all the talent went.

Maybe Substack?

Or maybe a large portion of the original talent consisted of oldfags who got v@xxinated and died of pericarditis & turbo cancer?

>>508417840 (OP)
Too many indians now.

Clearly the damage has already been done if you're aware that this place is making you dumber but you keep willingly coming back

>draw a line around a letter
Is this picture bait or are the people setting up this test retarded as well? A line is straight and has two ends by definition. Hence you can not draw a line "around" anything. They mean a circle

I've jerked off to my fair share of anime girls, but your picrel screams AGP. Obligatory reminder that YWNBAW

checked, the problem is that post-2009 the 144 character limit of social media platforms has degraded online discourse overall.
And since 2019 twitter screencaps are the primary source of OPs on /pol/
So (with that scope of platform dominance) don't expect the level of discourse to rise above slapfighting and namecalling

>>508420058
It's the shills who respond to narratives they don't like with random insults that are just confusing. It's difficult when a thread has so much random nonsensical insults you feel like you are having a stroke.

>>508418350
Lead, follow, or get out of the way

>>508424030
I actually blame moot. Everything was great then he had a bitch fit, removed the timer delay for posting and /b and other cancer flooded the board to troll us and never left. Then he sold it and redditors came here to be retarded. Discourse imploded into exactly what we have now.

I still remember when everyone would properly sage, even yelling at people for logical fallacies and being nit picky about links. People would post actual news links and discuss the events and if you didnt have a greentext summary with a link sometimes your thread even got removed.

Yep
the answer to all these topics when they come up

The golden age of the internet death blow was dealt in 2010 (when social media started gaining widespread traction)
Everything after that year has been varying precipitous decline

I don't crave knowledge anymore, I know enough, and above all I get tired of "intelligent" takes that could work in a ideal world but never never never have the resources to implement, gets frustrated after a while

You should be taking action in real life, the kikes are making their final play

Another thing about online interaction/etiquette, more broadly:

as mentioned above we've all seen the late-2000s shift in the internet constituency and activity, contrasting from the 'golden age' OG internet we all cherish.
I've noticed that in personal messaging (email, or board/system member messages no matter the platform) that ghosting or non-response become more prevalent.
i.e. in the early days of email, cordiality and actually providing a response (of any kind) to someone's message was expected and proper. No more
