About

The Pyramid of Intellect refers to an exploitable pyramid chart that showcases hierarchical levels of intelligence. Generally, the bottom tier of the pyramid is labeled "High School Diploma," which leads up various levels of education to "Ph.D." The tip of the pyramid is captioned with a variety of humorous labels. The images bear many similarities to the series Hierarchy of Needs Pyramid Parodies.

Origin

On July 25th, 2018, the Facebook page "All 'ravers' are going straight to hell" posted the first known variant of the edited intellect pyramid.[1] The pyramid labels the top level of intellect as "people whomst've watched all three zeitgeist movies, read Terrance Mckenna and live in a converted school bus." The post gained 864 likes and 392 shares within the first week.

So, expanding brain, but vastly worse because there's no sense of irony or whimsy and most of every image is dedicated to equating intelligence with formal education which is not a helpful nor valid comparison to make.
