A Controversial Take on Background Noise and Intelligence
A social media post by user @howyegettingon has sparked debate by claiming that being comfortable with common, annoying background noises is a sign of low intelligence. The list of sounds cited includes smoke alarm beeps, dripping taps, loudspeaker phone calls, screaming children, barking dogs, and loud conversations. The post suggests that the ability to ignore these environmental disturbances is linked to cognitive capacity, a stance that has drawn significant pushback from readers who argue that sensory processing and environmental tolerance are more complex than a simple measure of IQ.
what if one is almost comfortable with people barking and dogs talking?
Peak autism
Has nothing to do with IQ and more with your brains ability to regulate the influence of external factors on itself... so i would actually argue the opposite... underdevelopment... and the tism
I can't handle these sounds but that's just because I am autistic
So parents with children are low iq people 👍🏼
So all deaf people are retarded for you ?
Op also can't make eye contact with people, needs a weighted blanket, and has a very strict routine.
No, that just means you arent as sensitive as others to background noises. Imagine if you were raised in such an environment where you constantly had to ignore background noises. Its a skill.
You forgot the police sirens, car alarms, honking, and gun fire.
Hey that’s racist
