To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humor is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Rick's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation - his personal philosophy draws heavily fromNarodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realize that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick and Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick's existencial catchphrase "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon's genius unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools... how I pity them. 😂 And yes by the way, I DO have a Rick and Morty tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.
I don't think you are using iq correctly in your discussion.
But, it's dangerous to generally emphasize that a rick and morty fan is more intelligent than fans of any other show.
It's the same type of intellectual elitism used to justify social inequality.
We are experts of our own lives. While certain singular aspect may be deemed more important to the greater protraction of humanity, it could not be assumed to be possible or have occurred without the collectively varied efforts beneath.
Where would the scientist be without the farmer that grows his food.
It's ok to align general logic with greed, survival of the fittest, kin-selection (bio-innate-racism), exploitation of the weaker.
However, it's also important to recognize the limits to that perspective, as it has become painfully obvious that no totalitary power truly exist. All heads are lifeless without body. Disrespect the body, and we all die.
Rick, as a character is a god like super-being, at capacity of near universal sufficiency. However, he is not without origin, and while we are interested in his story timeline, it would be callous to ignore that he is a god born of past lessers.
he may represent the culmination of natural selection, but to forget who or what built rick, such a fan is merely narrowly a fantasy power addict, nothing more.
Such a fan is not more intelligent, he's only luckily befallen the popular doctrine of worship of the time period. currently, academia, intellectual elitism
