It actually takes a lot of IQ to infer, you know, context.

To be fair you need a very high IQ to understand ~~Rick and Morty~~ a Twitter thread

In all seriousness there's a difference between being a nerd, being smart, and having a high IQ, and the interchanging of these terms can mislead people. The same thing is happening with the term "Techbro" elsewhere in this thread.

the punchline to your joke was The Aristrocrats and yet there were no aristocrats present in the body of the joke

in all seriousness, not all incestuous families are aristrocratic, and the interchanging of these terms can mislead people. the same thing is happening with the “comedy” elsewhere in this thread.
