I would assume everyone here has heard Jamie Loftus "My Year In Mensa", but if you havent it is a wild ride. Joining as a joke, then realizing its just a bizarre clique with crazy characters and habits.

My brief brush with Mensa was at a conference. Three of them were trying to figure out how to use a keycard for the door and asked me for help.

A key card. Even without knowledge of one (who doesn't) the basic idea was right there in front of them on the key reader.

    Yeah Mensa isn't really an organization for geniuses, it's an organization for geniuses who wanna huff their own farts about it.

    Its more than that. The IQ or "smart" is trivial. What it is all about is superiority like you said plus a place where members express extremist, racist, and misogynistic views with little consequence.

    They are hardly geniuses.
