We all live in a world where we meet a lot of “stupid people.” If you ask almost anyone they tell you that majority of population is stupid but not them of course. How is that possible?
I think it’s simply due to the fact that we all have different interests and priorities.
Let’s say a historian meets an IT guy and they talk a bit. Historian finds out that IT guy doesn’t know when the WWII was, and IT guy finds out that historian’s email password is 1234. Both of them walk out knowing they just met an idiot yet neither of them is actually stupid.
When something interests you, you are much more likely to have more information about the subject than the average. You generally also tend to talk about stuff that interests you more than about stuff that doesn’t. It makes total sense that you meet a lot of “stupid” people then. But it’s the same for everyone.
Of course there are people who actually are stupid but it’s a small minority (Gaussian distribution applies here).
The stupid I refer to are the mouth-breather who are incurious about the world, who have no desire to learn new things, and actively try to discourage others from doing so, like a bunch of crabs in a bucket. These are people so mind-numbingly unintelligent that any new idea or information is met with hostility by default.
>Of course there are people who actually are stupid but it’s a small minority
Have you ever done jury duty?
Being in a room with a genuinely random selection of people will change your mind about how small that minority is.
The real challenge is the intelligent people with stupid interests. Many anti-vax, flat-earth, and other conspiracy nuts are often quite intelligent, even if exceptionally deluded. At least they like to talk about these interests, as you say.
Yep. If memory serves me correctly like 75-80% of people fall in the 80-120 IQ range. That range isn't really dumb or smart, it's just functional (or likely both depending on the situation). Now obviously someone in the higher end will likely be "smarter" than someone on the lower end, but that's assuming they are using their potential.
You always know less than you thought to be. If you had this mindset, then you will learn. If you think other people are just stupid, and you are the smartest person in the world, you can never learn.
It is. The text is wrong, should be donkey vs seal, but the research article this image popped up in was about autism and perception of ambiguous figures.

Seriously how is it possible to see a mermaid in that image? A fish I could understand though.
For me I see a Seal. Or a Donkey when I unfocus my eyes.
This post has over 800 comments. Most people recognize the idea but it continues to attract clicks and attention. Same with those mobile ads where they purposefully do terrible in the game, everyone knows what's going on there but it causes people to talk about it and gains clicks
That's just what I've gathered from seeing this strange marketing style anyways. It seems to be effective but it's quite annoying
Ok.
Start at the top and look down.
Your seals tail= donkeys ears
Your seals flippers= donkeys eyes (w beautiful eyelashes I must say)
Your seals eyes= donkeys nostrils
Your seals mouth and nose = also donkeys mouth

I also saw a god damn horse but was afraid to post it thinking I have a screwed up brain.
I saw a donkey. Should have read some comments before I panicked. lol
Well, I saw a kangaroo head, there’s something wrong with me 😜
I feel you bro
I thought it was a long eared donkey, but definitely equine
I thought the same. The wife saw a seal. We argued for about 15 min. Thanks reddit.
Everything reminds me of her.
It’s a mule actually. Big pointy ears lmao.
Lol I read what it said and I see a horse as well!
Same - horse or mule deer
Yeah me too, makes me wonder what kinda brain we have.
We are both brained lol
I saw this first
Ok good, it's not just me.
I must be donkey brained. Edit: Wow! A lot of IASIP fans showing some love! You hoors are the best!
Donkey-seal ftw.
We both use both sides of our brain. Most people do.
Most people don’t use any of their brain where I live
You live in the southern US too?!
Well I think all of the US applies, but I live near Boston
Bruins nation. Lots of drunk passionate fans! You know you guys are winning the cup this year! If you care.

You can’t unsee the seal
More of a sexy otter than a seal!
Mood kindred
Malignant tumor brained

That’s what I see.
Ahh love that song. Wayne newton!!
Do you have such a certificate?
Ever seen a frog kid??
Awwww Froggy!!!
Ya unzipped me!!!
I had my first kiss at that school. Such a sweet girl, didn’t have any lips
But her mouth was very much in play.
But her mouth was definitely at play
With a plastic bag for a helmet!!!!
r/unexpectedASIP You are only given one to confirm that you in fact do not have donkey brains.
Argh! Ya unzipped me Doc!
We must see with the ass part of our brain…
Jackass 😏
I've been waiting my whole career for this moment! https://youtu.be/RWc8JKVm28E
You dunkee!
I came here to say this.
Chawlie, you been sniffin' paint again?
Probably just balanced.
Definitely a seal lmao
I see a Manatee.
Also what mermaids actually were.
Sailors fucked manatees?
There’s no good reason this has to be past tense
You don't see or hear seamen these days talking about having sex with mermaids
That’s really the root of my problems
Current sailors not fucking manatees?
What kind of person calls themselves a sailor and doesn't fuck a manatee?
Right? Also manatee is like real life Vaporeon...
Yep it’s a manatee
That seals it.
Team seal
Yes
Team seal
Sealhorsehead
I see a donkey. 🤷♂️

In conclusion, people with autism perform the same as the general population when dealing with these kinds of ambiguous pictures.
Can confirm, be autistic, see donkey/seal.
The text is wrong on purpose. It’s bait, to drive comments and engagement. Almost 2k comments in 2 hours, on an insanely low effort post.
So the real autist was OP all along
Maybe the real autist is the friends we made along the way
“I see a seal. What kind of brain do I have?” Smooth, apparently. The scientists should have tested perception of ambiguous jokes.
A seal & a donkey. No mermaid here.
Looks like we’re normal.
Seriously how is it possible to see a mermaid in that image? A fish I could understand though. For me I see a Seal. Or a Donkey when I unfocus my eyes.
I see dead people.
Me too. I even have the gray streak in my natural hair.
Ole kangaroo jack
I saw a kangaroo immediately as well lmao
Rabbit-horse
**kangaroo
That's called a donkey
So a kangaroo
Donkey and seal. Can anybody explain me why click bait sites are obsessed with that right-left brain BS? does it really lure people into clicking?
Look all I know is they said if I clicked I had 130 IQ. Check mate smooth brain.
LMAO
