To get here, you have to have used the Internet enough to have learned of Tor, smart enough to actually use Tor(not very hard but alot of people couldnt do it), and open minded enough to acknowledge that drugs arent the product of a collaboration of Hitler, Lucifer, and Cthulu.
Other drug forums such as Bluelight and Erowid all seem to be plagued by teenagers who can't form eloquence beyond slang, worship cannabis, and don't do any research. The only (not necessarily drug)websites I could possibly think of that could compete with this site are like, 7Chan, which is too 7Channy, and HackBB, where greed is too prevalent.
With this high(especially by comparison) knowledge barrier of entry, does this inherently make SR and it's forums the overall most intelligent place on the Internet? Anyone think of a site that could possibly compete?

Stop stroking your ego mate, it doesn't become you.

This. some of the posts ive read since the site went down make me think....no

i don't like the publicity that SR now has. it's too much. I joined in January of 2012 (my sig is outdated)
I now think theres too many people on here. its not longer the little community it once was. New people unforunately has brought a HELL of a lot more scammers, a lot more junkies, and a lot more BULLSHIT. I liked the old SR where I could buy the best cocaine I'd ever had from MIN, or get some good MDMA from Tony76 (before he turned scammer)
Now I feel like SR has lost that feeling. Don't get me wrong, I still love this place and I have just a few vendors I rely on. But I truly hope that the security of this site is good enough to prevent the USA government from shutting it down, because I know for a fact that they're all over it.

yeah buying illegal drugs on the internet through public transactions is brilliant

Well I acknowledge there will be idiots anywhere, but there seem to be a lot less here

There's a common misconception that you somehow have to be a 1337 hacker genius to get on here, but nothing could be further from the truth. Torbrowser makes setting up Tor as easy as that of any other browser. Sure, it's mildly inconvenient to have to exchange dollars to bitcoins, and sure, you have to practice for a couple minutes before you get PGP encryption (not even required though), but other then that, the difficultly curve is on par with paypal. There's even youtube videos and clearnet sites that walk you through every minute detail of the process.
Read through a few posts. You'll notice very quickly that this is not a bastion of free thought and intellectual discourse. Although there's a few very intelligent people on here, for the most part, this place is one step above /b/.

This, good Sirs; is balls.

This, good Sirs; is balls.
Yes, exactly. I keep seeing more and more of this po-faced bullshit lately and it's part of the reason I had a break from here. What exactly gives you the right to take on such a self-satisfied, arrogant and to be honest, cuntish stance just because you get your shit off the net? I bet these people think their shit smells like strawberries and can be served as a refreshing snack on a warm summers evening too.
Christ what absolute twaddle. If you think you can sit back and admire the view just because you use this as a drug source then you need to take a step back and look at your life and go and achieve something real.
-
There are minors on silkroad too. ;-)
-
we know there is. although i can hardly talk, swapping a childhood for drugs isnt much fun.
thats the biggest downside about the anonymity, no quality control. its something we all accept by being here.
educate and inform honestly and allow people to make their own decisions.

So harsh, yet so poetic hahaha.. I thoroughly enjoy every one of your diatribes ;D
I think it's safer to assume that using this medium SUCCESSFULLY requires some form of intelligence.. the more I use this and understand its workings (and even politics), the more I start to admire it as a whole. It definitely is one of the more interesting parts of the internet.

I agree with the meaning behind this post, but unless this is the same way you converse in a normal conversation, the only way I can rationally explain the language used is either to clarify the definition of the message, or to put forth a persona of some sort to increase your status as percieved by others within the community. Which is ego stroking in itself isn't it?

I would heartily beg to differ. There's the escrow, user feedback, and the sellers fee

Well it's true, I'm trying to cut down on the rants but the kind of rubbish cheapens this forum because it just makes it look like it's full of self-satisfied and self-important prigs (I said prigs, not pricks) and has to be clipped. What might be refreshing is perhaps someone saying "I feel like I try hard to achieve but maybe I could do more, let's discuss how I could reach my full potential" or something along those lines? Because in life nobody can ever rest on their laurels because then you stand still as a human being. It's quite obvious that some people here forget this and that they think just buy buying shit on SR, using BTC and talking philosophically for a few minutes a day on here makes them some sort of bona fide hardcore revolutionary anarchist and you can tell because they love to stick that term on themselves more than George Cloony likes to take credit for shit at award ceremonies in his smug fuck-face way.
So yeah, OP, shut the fuck up and stop talking and go and do something real. Congratulations and praise are to be given by others not by oneself.

This is how I talk in real life if I'm making a point. I don't feel the need to develop an online persona to boost my ego. I don't deal in bullshit and the kind of crap that comes from bullshit and those that love to throw it around is exactly what is wrong with the world in my opinion.
-
I completely agree with you, but eloquent words often undermine efficiency. I find rational, straightfoward, efficient sentences are the best way to explain a point :)

If I'm honest, the long winded rants are just me venting my frustration at something. It's just my way of dealing with things that annoy me in a more healthy fashion than throwing things or punching shit haha.

I wasn't even suggesting that I think I am some sort of 1337 h4x0r just because I found this place. I was just suggesting that the whole Tor and BTC thing wanes out idiots. and when I said that people here are smart, I didn't even have myself in mind. This thread was basically just me being impressed with the site's userbase after reading some posts in the philosophy and safety sections
-
Uh, yeah, you did just pretty much disqualify yourself with your misuse of "wanes" for "weans" ;)
No worries though, notwithstanding what Lim said, which I totally agree with, think I kinda get what you're sayin'...
-
also, I was more emphasizing the matter in a sort of comparative way. I wasn't implying that the Silk Road should be competing with the Mensa Society. Limitless said that this place is just a cut above /b/, but when you look at this site in a comparative manner to the majority of those on the Web, and that could almost be a prestigious accolade.
-
Bro... I don't even know where to start... Let's see.
Entering SR is easy. Very easy. It requires that you download a program that doesn't even need to be installed. You then need to be capable of double-clicking the exe file and copypasting an address and hitting enter. That's it. The only people this procedure is too complicated for is the mentally retarded.
This forum is not intelligent at all, and to even suggest that it is the most intelligent place on the internet is absurd. Laughable. If you are impressed with the level of intellect displayed in this forum, then you have my condolences...

Don't put words in my mouth, I didn't say any such thing. This place is like every other place on the internet, it's got idiots and people who know their shit and deserve respect.
-
LOL no. Wow.
If you've read some of these replies and threads, you would question the basis of your posting.
Well I acknowledge there will be idiots anywhere, but there seem to be a lot less here
You haven't been here too long have you?

My apologies. It was lesseroftwoweevils.
Maybe I shouldnt have made such a broad generalization, but there is still some really impressive stuff on the safety board.
-
Hell no!!
Sure there are a few well read helpfull nice people on here but most seem to be totally impersonal, thick as shit or patronisingly unhelpful ignorant internet egomaniacs that masquerade as they are some sort of elite that we all need and it would all fall down without them, nobody likes a smartarse.
You see this trash in most threads started by newbies looking for help or asking what seems to someone here long enough as obviously silly or whatever. They are full of condescending unhelpful replies from other people who have the very same right to be here as the next newbie.
The only thing we need is the road and the trusted folk who run it, good vendors and security. Cliqué's are for children.
-
Any dolt can download TOR browser and take a stroll down the road (or post on the forums for that matter) but there's clearly some substantial technical know-how required to use SR safely and securely... At least to the degree that I feel comfortable doing business here.
The most intelligent place on the net? ...lol
-
The most intelligent place on the net? ...lol
Well in that case, I'm legitimately curious as to some sites people think are more intelligent than here. Even if it is as simple as DLing Tor, at least it is some form of selective exclusivity, which is more than can be said for 95% of websites
-
I'm with you, bynter... I've read posts by some incredibly articulate folks who (likely fueled by a smorgasbored of narcotics) make for some facsinating discussion!
But the internet is a big place... and let's not forget that it was initially designed to share scientific data... though I suppose now it has degenerated to a place for cats and pornography...

There are other onion forums you'd be blown away by, if this place impresses you.

She is not even very pretty. I think that guys like her because she looks and acts trashy and desperate for attention in her videos. It must be the suggestion that the media, her recording label, her agent and her handlers have planted successfully in their heads: that she is a desperate drugged up party girl who will do anything for a thrill.
I bet she is the most uptight prudish girl who hates even getting tipsy in real life. She probably is on a diet that forbids alcohol like all the Hollywood and goes to bed at 9pm so she can be up at 4 am for her personal trainer.
-
So in summary, by composing the OP of this thread bynter you've yourself look a right testicle.
-
Wasn't their a time in the beginning where you had to manually configure your browser proxy settings to get on Tor? I could be wrong, SR has given me so much access to drugs that my memory isn't what it used to be.
Ontopic: I think it probably is, we have very intelligent, logical and creative and awesome people on here, like Limetless.
-
Uh, yeah, you did just pretty much disqualify yourself with your misuse of "wanes" for "weans" ;)
No worries though, notwithstanding what Lim said, which I totally agree with, think I kinda get what you're sayin'...

So, you're have some point here, now lets go further and if you'd like to continue this discussion, define what intelligence mean to you.

Usually people will think that you're a dickhead if you have a lot of negative karma. However, after reading your post you made me believe you're a dumb dickhead which is even worse.
No offence tho.

I would like to consider myself above average when it comes to intelligence and common sense but as for the smartest people in the world?? I think the MENSA forums have that award...lol
MMM
-
This is quite possible. There was a study conducted and the results concluded that smarter people are more likely to do drugs...

...To deal with the dumb people...

That's a good question. Ummm...
Ability to be think independently for yourself, and overall ability to figure things out. I'm trying to be vague with that answer.

Well yeah. Of course theyre going to win by default. I sort of originally said "smartest" in a generalizing sort of way
