It says that you're not a self righteous autistic leaning into sensory intolerance and confusing it for intelligence.
You know what is an actual, proven sign of low IQ? Being unable to filter background noise and focus on a specific sound, specifically voices in noisy environments. The higher the IQ, the better people usually perform noise filtering tests.
That's not what this post is about. Being able to filter information and tolerating unnecessary noise aren't the same thing.
Yes, they're different things, that's why I said them as separate statements.
They even made up a word for it (misophonia) so they could be victims of a special disease instead of just being autistic.
Misophonia is an extreme dislike of certain sounds, not an inability to filter out noise from audio signal.
Just to steelman them, it makes more sense if you presume that was directed at my first statement rather than the second.
Not that I think misophonia is usually considered a mark of intelligence, but it is a pretty subjective diagnosis and a tempting excuse to lean into sensory intolerance instead of exercising mental restraint.
Yeah, that's probably what he was referring to. And I agree getting annoyed by noises isn't a sign of intelligence, although it's probably a sign of growing up in a quiet household and society, which I expect is correlated with both education and intelligence.
Yes this is why niggers are loud all the time everywhere and never change their smoke alarm batteries, because of their incredibly high IQ noise filtering ability.
