I'm just going to point out the irony of using this meme format to make that point.

The meme is about the journey to acquire wisdom, not intelligence. It fits IMO, despite representing the lack of wisdom as low intelligence.

So the y axis (IQ Score) is a measurement for wisdom? OP could have easily edited it out but didn't to give it a meta layer

Why on Earth would you call the horizontal axis in a 2d plot like this a y axis?
