> The problem with Reddit is that it's impossible for anyone to mention in any way that they are more intelligent than average without a bombardment of "this belongs on iamverysmart".

I think that this is because intelligence is usually self evident. It is similar to wealth; the people that tell you that they are rich are typically not the wealthiest people you know. On Reddit, perhaps mentioning a relevant professional qualification (e.g. being a lawyer).

But how are you going to discuss the accoutrements of being intelligent without admitting that yes, you are intelligent? (Wealth has the same problem.)
