On various websites where i fight (not here), this is highly apparent.
I wasn't sure if it was low IQ, or just trolling.
Now i'm leaning towards low IQ.
I think it's a combination of literally low IQ, and stunted minds due to modern education. Even very smart people maintain astonishing contradictions without issue for example (look at many on the left). So when challenged it's a combination of can't and won't when it comes to reason, logic, and consistency.
One thing I've learned in life is that "Intelligence" does not equate to "Wisdom".
Ergo, someone can be the smartest person on the planet, but if that MFer doesn't know how to pour piss of a boot, what good is he? Unfortunately, I've known several people like that in my 56 years and just shake my head each time at how much a waste it is. If they could stop, just for a moment, and apply common sense to some of that intelligence they'd be a serious asset to the world around them.

I think we can just drop the word common and just call it “sense”.
