Too busy fellating Elon Musk for his BFR to celebrate actual exploration...

I have many questions about living as a person with a high IQ. Let's not discuss ourselves and whether we have high IQs. The entire reason for my coming here to ask lies in Google results producing only sites on which people thinly mask bragging as discussion.

My main question lies in reconciling personal interests with the need for social interaction. A person of 140 IQ speaking to someone with a 100 IQ is much like a person of 100 IQ speaking to someone with a 60 IQ - i.e., talking to a retard. Let's say you leave graduate school and suddenly have no group of friends to discuss topics that require considerable research by yourself... is it better to focus on the social interaction itself or to find a group of friends at your level?

I am disgusted by my roommates who spend all of their free time watching television or using social media while alone. Of course, in social groups, they are in cognitively demanding situations, but what have they brought into those situations? Brains filled with stories from work and fictional content from TV.

Should those with high IQs shun socializing with people who have average IQs? It seems like many of the answers are found in imagining you have an average IQ and are to interact with groups of people with IQs around 60. Do you settle or do you seek out the 5% at or around your level?

I figure this is my best bet for an honest conversation that does not decay into what I found on other blogs - e.g.,

"I have an IQ of 178 so I'm pretty intelligent"... followed by stories about how author is constantly impressing everyone.

I dug around for a while but still want to know - besides work, how do those in the top percentiles entertain themselves in their downtime without becoming hermits?

If it exists, is intelligent life on other planets divided into the same (or similar) classes as on earth?

E.g. reptiles, amphibians, mammals, birds, whale-type animals, insects, humanoids...

Or is it possible that a completely different kind of advanced life develops without any animals similar to those on earth?

Assuming the planet is very similar to earth of course.

AP Physics starter here. Need your help /Sci /

>The speed of sound in the air is 343 m/s. Using the relationship 3.3 feet in a meter, 5280 feet in a mile, and the time relationships you know, determine the speed in miles per hour.


The answer is already diven, but I don't know what would the formula be.

Can someone please explain?


Yes, I know, easy question, should have previous knowledge of it, bla, bla. "If you don't know how to convert just kill yourself."

I know all of that, thing is I know it's s challenging class and I'm not about to back out because it's a "difficult" class.

I'm not the smartest kid around but I'll bust my ass and I'll get this right.
