So, last Saturday we had our hangout as usual, and it was just so much fun that we did not want it to end. We are currently on the second topic for this week, which is “CANCEL CULTURE”.
But before we proceed with the details of the topic, let us take a look at the winners of the last topic, which was “EXAMS AND TESTS”.
This topic was geared toward each member of the community, sharing their thoughts on examd and tests and how they shape our perception of what intelligence really is. Because many times, the knowledge gotten are only good enough to be used in specific circumstances and real life situations require a different kind of solution.
We got to see that indeed, a lot goes into education and learning. But then, while examinations and tests might not be a measure of intelligence, it sure shows how far a particular student has come and gives an idea of what they’re supposed to know. This was an enlightening topic, indeed.
NOT JUST TO DETERMINE ONE'S BRILLIANCE BUT ALSO THEIR PERSEVERANCE by @saydie
Exams aren’t perfect measures of intelligence; they reveal study habits, pressure handling, and perseverance, which can be more telling about future success than raw intellect. The post argues that effort and reliability matter in real-world outcomes, with examples like Steve Jobs illustrating that persistence can trump test scores.
ARE EXAMS REALLY A TEST OF INTELLIGENCE? by @nhaji01
Exams are portrayed as a flawed measure of learning, often reflecting a teacher’s effectiveness and system pressures more than true student understanding, which can distort motivation and even harm students. The piece argues for recognizing the human realities behind testing and focusing more on genuine knowledge and understanding.
IT’S HARD TO JUDGE BASED ON AN EXAM by @intishar
A quick reflection on whether exams truly measure intelligence, arguing that stress, effort, and situational factors influence exam results more than innate ability, and suggesting interviews and judgment in job settings are better indicators.

Week 236 - Edition 02 Topic
CANCEL CULTURE
“If someone does something terrible, only for those who have done something terrible, is it okay if the online community cancels them? This is a form of taking matters into their own hands; shouldn't such things be handled by the appropriate authority? Even though the person is guilty, is it okay to cancel them while they still pay the legal price for their acts?”
