What infrastructure? REAL infrastructure (roads, bridges, ports, trains, skyscrapers, electrical grids, cargo ships, wireless networks, coal mines, nuclear power plants, hydroelectric dams, subway systems, etc.) is created by engineers, and advances in engineering more often than not derive from advances in REAL science.

A man doesn't need formal training in economics to build a business, large or small.

A physicist can vote and form political parties as well as a political scientist.

An engineer can describe the impacts of racism on his community as well as a sociologist.

>For instance, many physicists will attest, when asked, that IQ is a valid measure of intelligence. This is not true by any means, but physics places a priority on easy, quantitative values, and so they attempt to carry this reasoning over to other sciences where such thinking does not do much good.

Intelligence can be quantified and accurate predictions can be made on that basis. It just so happens that people in intellectually rigorous professions, for instance, doctors, physicists, and lawyers, display higher than average IQ (pic related)

>128 means that you're guaranteed talent in one of the humanities, but for maths and science, you'll be nothing more than mediocre.

You don't need to be a genius to understand science. Hell, Richard Feynman had an IQ of 125.

How true is this?

I don't believe that people with medical degrees have the highest IQ. Their curriculum is memorize, regurgitate, rinse and repeat.

?

Relevant.

115 IQ here. Feels HURR DURR. If I had the money I'd be shoveling nootropics down my throat. Oh well, at least it's still enough for a career in science, at least according to this graph.

Hey, I have a question for all of you IQ-obsessed gentlemen. I have an IQ of 115 as determined by a very rigorous and scientific test, do I have a shot at a career in science?

Nah bro, you're just fine.

Hey /sci/,

how big is the difference between the mean IQ here in /sci/ and the one of /b/? The picture is related and can be seen as a clue in order to rank /b/ and /sci/.
