Mensa

I scored high enough on an official IQ test (as in, from a clinical psychologist who tested me professionally in person, not some illegitimate online test) to get accepted into Mensa. Should I do it? Some people love it, others claim that it's just a bunch of pretentious cunts playing board games and bragging about how smart they are. What do you think? What have your experiences in Mensa been like?

Being smart autists, I figure that at least some of you might know what Mensa is like. I would appreciate any and all serious insight.

Hofstadter may be arrogant, but at least he isn't pretentious. Just because a book wasn't written with a coherent vision doesn't make it less interesting (c.f.: Finnegans Wake). I suppose you tell people you didn't like Harry Potter because there were no greater themes?

Assuming you weren't actually trying to argue Hofstadter is "an idiot", your argument reduces to being too smart to find the book intellectually gratifying, which is worrying indeed. Perhaps you should join Mensa?
