Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

There's nothing to flunk. Intelligence is simply how effectively a being can acquire and apply knowledge and skills. You're describing wisdom, which is not the same thing. God didn't say he made humans super-wise.
There absolutely is, we are flunking our own survival and undermining our own well being by doing harm to ourselves, and that is absolutely lack of the most basic evolutionary intelligence.
Also remembering a number with just a few digits for just a few seconds most definitely has NOTHING to do with wisdom, but everything to do with basic intelligence.
I am most definitely using basic examples of intelligence, and not of wisdom.
To claim for instance not committing suicide is a form of wisdom, is moronic.
What part exactly do you think reflect wisdom? What exam have you seen that test wisdom over intelligence?
