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.

I think it's a matter of definition. We can all be annoyed that we haven't reached the physically possible ``massively parallel architectures'' which sport billions to trillions of very simple processing units. If we would have reached that, some form of AGI would most likely have emerged by now, not to mention how faster certain physical simulations would become. "Supercomputers" of thousands of CPUs are good for certain tasks, but they are terribly wasteful in both time and energy cost.
