Scott Douglas Jacobsen: What other reasons people would want to take them and what other cautionary notes should they take into account when they do, or if they do?
Rick Rosner: Say you’re a rare person that thinks that if he or she joins Mensa it will be lots of fun really high level discussions among your intellectual peers, which it really isn’t, it is just a bunch of guys who are slightly blowhardy blowing hard. Some women like the attention of desperate guys. I am basing this on the 80s. Things may have changed because we live in a nerd intensive culture.
You don’t have to be a nerd to talk about Star Trek. You can go to a zillion places online to talk about Star Trek, and why are you talking about Star Trek when that is a more 70s or 80s thing, when there was only Star Trek and Star Wars and Battle Star Galactica and now there are plenty of super nerdy shows you can talk about without having to invest in getting a high IQ score.
