what are the advantages of having an IQ 3+ SDs above the mean? i feel like many are already present once you are 2 SDs above

>> No.14572729

Well, many of the advantages are outweighed by loneliness, especially when you have character and stand up for truth. One thing you can do that no one else can though is create new knowledge if you are dedicated to your cause. That potentially outweighs any negatives as creating new knowledge is the most important thing a man can do other than create new life. But, that doesn't apply to every person with such a high IQ. If you are high IQ but are lazy, life isn't so good. The sheer amount of realizations about the inconsistencies and fallacies of your surrounding world might keep one in a state of logical paralysis for long periods of time. So I don't know anon. It seems to me that all of it comes down to being strong. The smarter you are - the stronger you have to be mentally. Didn't really answer your question and my IQ is only 105.

High enough that I suspect I am the subject of the world's largest prank show on TV. Because I don't fucking believe it. Also it doesn't matter, because nothing is determined by that anyway, even when it would probably be better off to be so to some degree. Worse, we play coy and determine that obliquely for positions it has no fucking relevance to (barring mental dysfunction probably).
>>14572832
Some studies suggest, and I don't care if it's true it's for sake of argument, that certain fields or universities have a median IQ around that point. Most of my conversations take place with people around that point in real life. Compared to how I can talk with someone of a similar level of mental ability and energy (the energy part does matter), well, I can only infer it's like someone with an IQ around 130 trying to have a conversation with someone whose IQ is 85.

The real problem in relating something like that is people get hung up on personalizing it. I don't mean it that way, couldn't care less, 95% of the time it does not matter, and at the end of the day shit gets done well enough that the lights stay on. I never have, and damn well never will, let anyone ever know how high it is for a whole lot of reasons. Primarily, that it doesn't matter for every day tasks and if it really mattered at some point someone has to come crying to have you fix it. Whether that's a math problem, a model issue, figuring out how the fuck you're going to fix this cross-threaded thing without proper tools, or troubleshooting grandma's computer. The guy who cleans the gutters can clean the gutters just fine, having a galaxy brain wouldn't really help improve that much (yes yes automate everything I know moving on).

My opinion on people who are obsessed with it is pretty obvious. If you are a galaxy brain, well, I've never met one all that caught up in appearances. Hell they always seem to agree with me about how it doesn't really help. It just makes you really fucking bored.

Well, starting from a brainlet perspective, in high school it just meant I was able to get straight As in the highest classes available while still having time to play WoW.

In college it meant that I could get all my work done and spend literally 90% of my time getting stoned. this honestly wasnt good as it was very socially isolating and depressing.

in grad school it really kicked in though as i was able to go to festivals and do sheetloads of acid and still managed to graduate, only failed a couple fucking PDE classes.

The ACTUAL advantage is in the philosophical perspective though, for 130iq midwits they can see how society is bullshit and money isnt real and all that but they can't really connect the abstract idea to the practical implications in their own life, and will still participate in the rat race lacking self awareness. while it's so obvious society is a bunch of monkeys in a habitat trading pieces of paper around that i feel self conscious of the absurdity even doing basic things like go shopping.

this has led to me not giving a single fuck about societys expectations, having no anxiety about being worth less than people who have more money/higher iq/better research or whatever, not sacrificing happiness for money, and having a very satisfying life with minimal work, enough income to get by, and ample free time for keeping fit and independent study.

Also, OP pic is true and most chicks are retarded so i can talk to them fine just treat them as you would a dog or cat, theyre also not very interesting, id rather lift and read than deal with one.

Literally drowning in irony. Thanks for the laugh anon. The advatange is that the world isn't an opaque abstraction and it gives the person who is able to perceive that a tremendous advantage. The challenge is self-reflection and humility.

I had my iq tested by actual psychologists on two separate occasions and my iq was above 160 so I am qualified to answer this question though it is only my own perspective. Through being tested I ended up in academic communities for high iq individuals so I have a sense of how people at different high iq levels operate. And to answer your question having an iq over two standard deviations higher than the average can be an advantage or a disadvantage compared to being someone who is just highly intelligent and I would say in most cases is actually a disadvantage. See there is a misunderstanding of how exceptionally high iq people must see the world because people who are smart but are not geniuses can see how fucked go society and the world and in there experience the smarter the person the more ways or the more Depth to the fucked upness in society they can see. So they assume that extremely high iq people continue on this spectrum focused on how fucked people and society are and are completely tortured by this and overall I have not found this to be true. I would say from my experience that starting at an iq level around 145-150 and above that the human mind starts to become detached from society other people and the constraints that they bring. I and many of the people I have known seem to perceive life in a very unusual way (and I am not here to say it is a better or more enlightened way just that it is different). For me personally life itself does not feel as different from dreaming as I believe it to be for most people. All of these societal constructs that most people get caught up in seem rather silly and surreal to me so therefore they do not negatively affect me much at all. I guess one could say that having a really high degree of understanding makes it so that the perceived injustices of the world or the fact that most people are stupid and live there life in auto pilot does not bother you because you understand it does not matter.

Furthermore starting around a 150 IQ as well the majority of the people I knew had major neurological problems or were majorly autistic and were geniuses mentally but could not really function in the world. Even those who did not were mostly so lost in there kind that they had brilliant minds but were never able to express them because they don’t understand how the world works and wouldn’t know how to start communicating these ideas. In summation super iq people tend to be either blissfully ignorant of society, smart enough to realize one shouldn’t be bothered by society, or are so fucked up that they can’t really function, so it’s pretty hard to compare to people who are just highly intelligent but not genius. On average highly interagency people will accomplish more in the world, but geniuses that can function in the world have a higher chance of changing the world.

I function pretty well in the world to be clear but almost every other person I knew with a high iq in the math/science community was fucked up.

I always assumed that most normal functioning geniuses lived normal lives never telling anyone how strange they felt and most people would never realize that they are actually that smart. Or maybe they became serial killers like Ted K. I don’t know

Eh, I hide it, definitely. I am definitely more asocial than average, and I've long used the internet even since baud modems. The benefit of anonymity to being in different communities, under different pseudonyms, jobs, personas, never with ill intent or anything mind you. I've been a physicist, I've been a retail worker, I've been an alcoholic, sometimes I've been on voice recordings. I've been a self-made man without a degree with the worst luck in the world, or a silver spooned harvard brat. I've been a mathematician or a "struggling wannabe psych researcher". Everyone has this perception that voice changing stuff is universally as bad as most of the free software, for example, so it's really easy with slight modifications and proper sound hardware to have perfectly convincing shifts. I've been paranoid, I've been stupid, I've been all kinds of things over time just... seeing people. Sometimes for a decade or two.

I'm not malicious or anything. I've genuinely tried to help quite a lot of people, sometimes with money. Sometimes using my persona to get them out of a bad situation to live with friends I made, thinking it was me. It's really hard to even explain all that without snap judgments, but I'm no psychopath. It just sort of collectively happened early on and I kept doing it, kept meeting new people doing new things.

My perception? People are just people. You can mirror them and come out alright, you push them too far with disagreement or discord and it is really easy to lose them. People give you respect you didn't earn, they give you grief you don't deserve, and sadly it is when you play the worst off down on your luck kind of person that people are most vicious. Especially if you play up some hollywood idea of some trapped in poverty genius. That, honestly, was the most shocking to me and my most recent final run when I closed it out.

Meanwhile in real life I just read a lot, exercise, date people, live a pretty standard life.

Sofar as the geniuses go? Yeah I've met some really clever people dedicated to ingeniously stupid positions. Lopsided capability where people are really good in one domain, utterly useless in anything else. The thing I've most noticed, and the thing that is really weird to me, is everyone has some sort of sacred cow of something they will not budge from.

It could be a moral paradigm, and it usually is but not always, it could be more specific or arbitrary such as strongly disliking a given person or set of ideas. Even people nearer my ability, and of course I know they have a whole lot of justifications for it obviously, but in such cases it is often a lack of interest or motive to change without direct personal gain or threat. Especially threat.

It's hardly that I lack introspection - far from it - it's just that I see that kind of thing and it puts me off. Always has been that issue with me, where I find more and more inconsistencies in things. Maybe it takes a few years, maybe a decade, maybe a couple days, but it seems I always have to move on to something else. For every other genius I've found who is genuinely in that category, they just seem like people with more than they know what to do with. If they don't have autism or anything of course.

Wow I feel personally attacked. Just kidding, but seriously that does sound like me. I was labeled as globally gifted instead of having extra sauce in one area so I think that might be what distinguishes geniuses who can function in society from those who don’t do as good of a job. Like if you have the super math mind you get lost in that and that whole thing.

Well, in my experience playing that role or "being that person", you definitely don't want to be the tortured genius type. It attracts the most malicious kind of person who will get off on torturing you further, while to others putting responsibility on you that is obviously unfair. Of all the things I set up to be, and act out, that one is the most shocking to me over the years. It is also the longest one because I met some very interesting people. Of course you don't do these things like donning some mask, it's rather organic, and I would assume I'm at least kinda good at it with all the experience.

I can't really go into detail about it but... "wow" hardly covers just how shitty people are. That is, though, keeping in mind self selection of a person. Even a "fake", though I am quite genuine, you end up in places with people who don't even comprehend just how terrible they are. No psychopathy necessary either.

Hard agree with you on the difference of someone more global vs exclusive, too. Plenty of people could "out math" me, just having abstract ability doesn't imply I dedicated the necessary time to it. Hence my disdain for the stupid "genius = math addict" meme.

I don't know what if anything I'm lost in. Just reading this, you'd think I'm obsessed, but it's not really that time consuming. It's all relative. Guess I'm just stuck with a stupid galaxy brain and nothing to do with it. I sometimes think it'd be better to "get lost in" or be able to be lost in a thing like they do. I romanticize it sometimes.

The thing is I don’t really feel like I’m playing a tortured genius. I mean it’s not like I act this way that much in front of other people so it’s not like I would attract a bunch of Sadists. It’s more like when I’m alone with my thoughts I get caught in these seemingly never ending though holes where I feel tortured by my own thoughts but I have had less of these as I have accepted life for what it is and focus on being in the moment instead of trying to look at the big picture all of the time.

Oh that. Well yeah, I think that necessarily comes with experience or maturity. I just felt the need, since you mentioned it, to caution you against BEING the tortured genius. I found it and the people in that life appalling no matter how good of a person you try to be.

My thought on being alone with your thoughts? Well, for a long time I also played - and details get mixed into personas because it helps fill out a person - and acted out being more of a buddhist. Since learning something, and being something, I think is an important "altogether" thing people ordinarily miss out on due to how real life forces you to be consistent to people. Your usual drugs-to-enlightenment sort of story religious people like a lot. Buddhists have a lot of valid points, and one of the most important is framing.
You write "I'm alone with my thoughts", the more accurate framing is "There are thoughts". If you can connect those dots, understand how changing the minds concept of itself changes the response, shifts in thinking like that can help you quite a lot.

In the end I think what one decides to do with that pity for others, and honestly it is a bit deserved, is personality more than anything.

>what are the advantages of having an IQ 3+ SDs above the mean?

One thing I didn't realize until I worked in a church is that having a very high IQ means I basically end up treating everyone the same. Ppl with middle tier IQs, for example, in the church i was part of, would talk down to the mentally disabled people and have this weird "ohg, that's a mentally disabled person, I am superior" act they did.

I remember one guy I was helping in our office, he was, like, very well mannered, and then I realize he wants me to photocopy some paperwork that says he has an IQ of like 84. I just thought he was "another person."

Then I realized why: for me, given my IQ is > 3 sd from the mean, talking to him is basically like talking to someone w/ a 100 IQ or a 115 IQ, there is still a _huge_ gulf, and I never ended up with some sort of superiority complex---people are all evolved w/ different abilities, I focus more on character than smarts because if I only socialized w/ ppl in my IQ bracket, it would be very lonely.

so ya, the pic is exactly like what it was, me and the 85 IQ dude got on great, because neither one of us was judging the other, and we both had a similar attitude due to being outlying from the middle-tier ppl. Good times.

Going to Church as an adult, voluntarily, not due to conversion (Episcopal Church) provided me with a lot of insight into how people, even "professionals" (my church was in an urban center, we had doctors, lawyers, a superior court judge or two, etc.) can be absolutely bat shit crazy, and also...not the sharpest tools in the drawer. But somehow they are "able" to be Judges, Physicians, etc. etc. And they all act in the same way. The "really" mentally retarded people would often say things like "wow, I dont understand what you're saying, but I'll think about it." The middle-tier ppl in professions, who were, like, legit schizos due to belief in God (I saw it as musical theater to control the retard population w/ song and dance, to impose certain norms) would adopt this "oh, I dont understand that, you must be crazy."

Max Stirner was a nihilist not religious and he made that argument.
>Atheists are skeptical for the existence of God, but they are credulous and gullible when you replace the word ‘God’ with another mysterious thing called ‘morals.’ - Max Stirner
That is why the many different moral systems adopted by atheists are in reality not much different than religions. In fact, Max Stirner, saw secular morality as nothing more than a new religion.
Which Nietzsche also refers to as Western Buddhism.
Take for example the Genealogy of Morals, the third essay What is the Meaning of Aesthetic Ideals.
It specifically addresses the idea that freedom requires a freedom from truth.
It's no more or less crazy than anything else.
The 'absolute idea' in Hegelian philosophy, which again in manifold refractions split into the different ideas of philanthropy, reasonableness, civic virtue, and so on. The philosophers of our time say concepts are to decide everywhere, concepts to regulate life, concepts to rule.
To which Hegel gave a systematic expression, bringing method into the nonsense and completing the conceptual precepts into a rounded, firmly-based dogmatic. Everything is sung according to concepts and the real man, I, am compelled to live according to these conceptual laws.

Well, you can find one of the earliest expressions of a similar bent in Antiphon, on the distinction between phusis (nature) and nomos (law). This is because you get the weird translation of "dikaion nomikon" and "dikaion politikon" into "natural justice" and "political justice." "physical justice" is IMO more literal but then its like "wtf, physical justice?"

"[Col. 1] ... (6) So justice consists in not transgressing the regulations (nÒmima) of the city (10) of which one is a citizen. Thus a human being is likely to use justice to his own (15) best advantage, if he stresses the importance of the
laws in the presence of witnesses, (20) but when he is alone and there are no witnesses (follows) the dictates of nature (tå t∞w fÊsevw) . For the dictates of the laws (tå t«n nÒmvn) are (25) adventitious, whereas the dictates of nature
are inescapable; dictates of the laws, based on agreement as they are, are not natural growths, whereas the dictates of nature (tå t∞w fÊsevw), being natural growths, are not
based on agreement." (https://escholarship.org/content/qt7kg1w5zm/qt7kg1w5zm.pdf))

Oh shame for you... you fell for my alucard.

Max Stirner made the comparison in the context of trolling the ever-loving shit out of the hegelians by centrally contrasting everything to the ego (quite literally "the ego and its own"). The context in which you relate his meaning, and his self evident actual meaning, are two very different things.

The sense in which it is gullible is the sense in which one confuses the owner for the thing owned. Stirner goes over that constantly, repeatedly, over and over again. It is in that sense, not the sense you've abused it, Stirner means that. That his feelings, ideas, thoughts, systems, and so on, are but unto him akin to property and to confuse those for things unto themselves is folly.

A state is illegitimate when even one person doesn't want to be a part of it anymore, and thus cannot exist. When a bunch of selfish dicks ally with other selfish dicks by their own free will is the only kind of 'state' that should exist. If you don't want to be a part of a system, you shouldn't be forced to, and that system can set out to do whatever it wants, because only might makes right and morals are illusions made up by high society.

There are some pretty smart ppl who have formal reasons for suggesting that any claim to a univocal "take" leads to the problems identified by Godel's Incompleteness Theorem, e.g. even if your take were formalized in some Language, that language would itself have difficulty proving its own completness or consistency, etc. So the metatheoretic problem with univocality is more that you cannot assert a language in that is consistent, and provably so, in which to make your theoretical claims.

You can also approach this from a more "contintental" pov ala Richard Rorty, who is certainly not using Godel and other metamathematical concepts to argue against foundational univocality.

"clearly showing they've read none or nearly none of it".

The issue is that you give a hot take and then suggest that anyone who had read the source would agree with the univocal truth of your hot take, which has all sorts of formal problems with it, in terms of defining the language in which your hot take is communicated, presuming it is even capable of formal specification.

here is the flavor of what I am suggesting, from a really fun book from a guy who taught me epistemology a long while ago.

It's not positing that meaning is impossible, it is more subtle than that. It is more like there may be an endless ramification of meaning, that your attempt to play "Hierarch" (Priest) and impose a univocal meaning is formally indefensible for reasons to do w/ the nature of formal language---and this is presuming your theory could be formalized and proved as a formal function of the corpus of Stirner's work which is, IMO, very unlikely.

I think it depends a lot on personality as well.

If I’d have to describe my thought process in a matter of differences to the norm I’d say it is more free from preconceived notions.
This means I have a higher frequency of „original“ thought and can make inferences faster, but at the price of having to understand the principles of everything I learn, instead of just accepting it as functional knowledge, and ending up in some weird conceptual corners because my working memory (commonly correlated to blood glucose level) gave up while I was fixated on an idea.

What's the topic of this here thread, kiddo? It's not narcissistic to have a positive self-image, to take pride in one's traits. The problem is that lots of people do not have traits that many ppl desire, especially males.

I realized this at University, when pretty much every class I'd end up with a girl or two wanting to hang out with me. I quickly realized that most guys did not have this experience, they just did their work and ran away, none of the girls ever went 'hey anon, you are a 5'8 guy and I find that, like...I want to get to know you, anon!!!'

You're the one who started throwing around terms like narcissism w/o any provocation at all, this is called "turnabout."

You're a 5'10 aggro dude who thinks this act is acceptable behavior. It's not, and if someone returns fire you suddenly start doing this weird "OMG I CANT BELIEVE HE STRUCK BACK!" act.

You also have this weird fixation on denying ego (self). Well-developed people have an ego, they can assert themselves and their values.

Like, are you this egoless creature or something?

This is the opposite of what I have said. I have noticed this throughout my life, in socializing w/ other tall males, none of us do this weird aggro act you're doing, it's mostly guys under 6' who do it. It's also born out in criminology, short dudes are more violent.

> Right, brainlets can't see past the ego. Same team.

There's nothing to see past the self. If there is something that sees, it is the self by definition, and what the self is, well, we can address whether you're some weird spiritualist here, there is no univocal self, the "self" is an aggregate of complex material inteactions in the nervous system. That said, it tends to be pathological to try to suppress the aggregate reaction, to worry "am I being X" where X is narcissistic, etc. Even your aggressive behavior is fine, I just dont really think it's the best sort of socialization, but what do I know?

> I simply understand where the boundaries are. Do you?

Who made these boundaries, where are they?

> Pointing out weird behavior, yes.

What do you mean by "weird"? Lots of norming of behaviors is really just aggression projected onto an abstract entity, "the normal" as a way of dealing w/ ppl who otherwise wont play by "the rules" which are mostly made up for ppl who need them, e.g. ppl who can play a rules-based game but cannot play a physical game.

Other anon popping back in, and that's the part why I warn people to ignore narcissists. To my knowledge you can't fix a narcissist. They have chosen to live in a fantasy of their own superiority, and I do not think it is possible to "undo" that in an ethical manner. Basically the main problem they have is themselves.

So you could go on like that for decades having the same conversation. If a narcissist thinks they can get something out of it by complying, so framing it in a way where they're obviously even more superior and awesome, they will. Otherwise it just continues on like that indefinitely.

Well, this is the process of signals going from one cortex to another, there is no external "observer" who "observes the cortical activity," the observation is itself neurological activity, which in turn influences the activity, because the brain feeds back and forward and all around.

IMO Jung is pseudoscience, like psychoanalysis. But if you are well off and enjoy it, there's no problem with that.

Not really, ppl who have poorly socialized often latch on to psychiatric labels as a way to "other" ppl. I have no idea why they do this, but, you know, it is fairly common. I generally divide ppl into those shorter/stupider than me (most everyone) and then everyone as tall and as smart as me. It's pretty simple, so, there you go.

My verbal IQ was said to be in the 130 - 140 range, and verbal IQ is basically the IQ correlated to abstract thought and understanding, so my core intelligence and comprehension of concepts is quite high.

The only detriment was my performance IQ was very low at the time but improved after I was tested as a child. My existence seems the only thing I can discern as irrefutable truth, and every other conceptual model derived from it are just a matter of probability. I see my own consciousness as a fractal of great consciousness, and the absurdity of some of these realizations makes me feel very weird. And I get caught up in the idea that everything I see can only be 'likely' to be true and not 100% true.

In school, I couldn't relate to how normal people thought and acted and had to act purposefully like a retard in order to make friends. In all honestly, I don't see being a high IQ as a super big advantage, I have an insight into things most other people don't contemplate and I can learn abstract concepts with a bit of effort - but I was also incredibly depressed.

There's this chick I follow on Facebook. I accidentally started following her because she has the same name of this girl I met and thought I was sending a friend request to her. She was only 14 when I started following her. As soon as I realized she wasn't the person I was meaning to follow I went to unfollow her. But then I realized this 14 year old girl was hilariously stupid. She didn't know why America would send a separate team from Georgia to the Olympics, she couldn't figure out why elevators had buttons for the floor she was already on, and many other things I just saw and laughed. Anyway I never stopped following her because she was such a big source of my morning laughs.

She got pregnant at 15 because she thought you couldn't get pregnant on the first time. She was sure that the 15 year old boy that got her pregnant was going to be a great daddy. Well the kid is 1 now and she always complains about him never being around and how he would rather stay at home bored than see his son and all the other crap any of us could have warned her about when she was certain she was going to be the one teenage mom whose baby daddy would actually hang around.

With no real choice in between other than being clever enough about ruthlessness to force the issue otherwise (obviously I'm not talking about being "hollywood evil").

I've larped online virtually every end of the spectrum and heard it all.

To the point where failure to commit necessary evil is a moral failing as "a bad" in and of itself, for there's no virtue in existing in agony and misery when doing so only compounds that agony and misery.

Delusions of grandeur are a very bright flare to spot, but it's not the entire picture. Narcissists are into themselves. It is possible to be a low self-esteem narcissist. For example, a person who lives in a world where things are done to them and they are a perpetual victim predominantly are concerned with themselves.

Well, by definition they're not "middling IQs." IQ is really not as important in the University system as test-taking, where, under time conditions, "arguing with the test" is counterproductive, same for "arguing with your instructors."

IQ testing comes in before there is as much test-taking required to do things, for example, you could do all sorts of fun chemistry stuff into the 1950s, 60s, even 1970s without permits from the government, etc.

That is more about motivation or personality traits, not intelligence. Intelligence, or IQ, if we want to call it that, is not about whether you WANT to play a game, it is more about your capacity to play the game, if you were motivated to do so.

Someone can have a very high IQ and little motivation to play games like "get the MD degree" etc. It doesn't mean they couldn't, just that they dont want to.

Genuinely smart people don't give a fuck about other people's idea of what smart people are supposed to do

The actual, biological, scientific reality is that the highest form of pleasure that is achievable in a human life is taking molly, lsd, weed, and cocaine with beautiful young slutty women and high energy dance music and lights and lasers, heroin releases significantly less dopamine.

It's not a sustainable lifestyle but if your intelligence allows you to keep up with your school work it's worth it to know what life has to offer instead of forever being a bitter cuck hating people who got to have all the incredible, amazing social and sexual experiences you'll have to go your whole life without ever getting to taste

This just shows you don't understand what IQ measures. If you're trying to say "IQ isn't intelligence, intelligence is X," that is fine, but theres no sense in which somone has to have done any of the X,Y,Z to "confirm" their IQ, IQ measures IQ, it doesnt measure capacity to publish in math journals, tho it is probably strongly correlated with that.

So, if you're saying someone doesn't really have an IQ 3 SDs above the mean if they haven't X, that's not...how IQ works...

It's also funny because everything he mentions is something that a conscientious person who is 1-2 std deviations above the mean can do. University publications, etc. are far more about conscientiousness than IQ.

High IQ + Low Conscientiousness doesnt mean the person isnt "really intelligent," it just means they dont like playing games, often when the games are set up to reward conscientiousness more than intelligence.

High IQ + High Conscientiousness can also backfire, because you end up arguing w/ professors, etc. Generally, Slightly above average IQ + slightly above average conscientiousness is going give you a better chance to access "social capital" like publication, tenure, etc.

That is the easy way, this is what I am illustrating. Playing games is boring, making your own way is sorta fun---like Indiana Jones!

This was a criminal case and everything, not civil. I tell lawyers about it and 99%+ of them have said they have never heard of this ever happening, so it is far more rare than someone getting a JD, arguing a case as a lawyer at 25.

IQ is a scaled test, all it is talking about is how "rare" your score is compared to other people's scores, so the things you've suggested are not that rare, also, they are things that are rare because only so many ppl get into a grad program, or a university, etc.

In the 1970s, lots of school districts in various cities started making "alternative" programs because high kids who didnt want the school trip were dropping out.

It's an incredibly rare intellectual achievement, to be allowed to represent someone in a criminal superior court w/o being a lawyer, it is far more rare than publishing a math paper. Every math prof will know of a few undergrads who published as undergrads, lawyers, law profs I have told this story to, they say they've never heard tell of it, some even insist it is "illegal" even tho Judges have control of audience in their Courts.

The problem is you have a narrow list of what you consider "mapping up with high IQ." I think the issue here is that you see yourself as the arbiter of what a person with a high IQ would do.

Most people I know who have legit high IQs dont think that way. I certainly don't. Someone with a high IQ might want to do nothing but breed chrysanthemums, or prizewinning cabbages.

This article says it's a crime to represent someone in court if you're not a lawyer:
https://thelawdictionary.org/article/can-you-represent-someone-in-court-if-you-arent-a-lawyer/

That's simply not true, it's up to the Judge. Also, it might vary by jurisdiction, some places might hasve prohibited it by statute, but not in the commonwealth countries.

Also, that article makes no citations, and most legal profession monopoly acts specify you cannt do certain acts in expectation of reward or fee, so you cant do them for money, at least that is the typical phrasing in the commonwealth.

I think in USA things ar emore uniform, in the commonwealth because we inherit several 100 years of English/Anglo-Saxon (!!) law, there are amnyt hings that lawyers just are not taught because they're not very profitable, except as defensive material.

Also, there are some things you cannot do by a lawyer, who is an officer of the court, e.g.

I am skeptical the article he cited is even a product of researching every single state, and of right, anyone may be an attorney, by leave of the court, it is only by statute that only bar members may be such.

I say this because that article repeats exactly what lawyers told me in my jurisdiction, and they were 100% wrong. It's something lawyers think is true, which may be true in some states, but is not necessarily true in every state.

For example, yhere is from texas:

"Sec. 81.102. STATE BAR MEMBERSHIP REQUIRED. (a) Except as provided by Subsection (b), a person may not practice law in this state unless the person is a member of the state bar.

(b) The supreme court may promulgate rules prescribing the procedure for limited practice of law by:

(1) attorneys licensed in another jurisdiction;

(2) bona fide law students; and

(3) unlicensed graduate students who are attending or have attended a law school approved by the supreme court." (https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov/Docs/GV/htm/GV.81.htm))

It does not define "bona fide law students." It does not say "law students enrolled in an incorporated college," it says "good faith law students." So that is very different.

That's not codified law, it is common law, that is, common reason: if you put in a plea by attorney, that is, in any court, attornment and submission to the Court.

You can only plead in abatement (e.g. "the court lacks jurisdiction over me") in your own proper person, but you sort of have to know what you are doing.

>>14583412
Yeah basically it's a lot of personality. Personality especially at the extremes determines a lot.

Me, well, I just kind of drift through life feeling as if it's a kind of nightmare or a dream with no significance to it. Not depressed, nor do I have any psychiatric condition, but I'm about as detached from other people as I think it is possible to be without being a schizoid.

Sometime in my 20s, and I'm getting to be an old fuck so this is many moons ago, I learned my IQ was "off the charts", so that helped to explain most of my disappointment with people. You get a lot of "lol larpers" or IQ denial, but if you really are at an extreme your mind can fuck you up a lot trying to justify everyone always being so goddamn stupid. Including the firm belief that you are the stupid one, because everyone forms a self-justifying narrative that you have to be since nobody can understand you. It's like the teen angst on TV only actually justified and a horrible cruelty you see groups of people adopt to justify the consensus.

"A world not made for me" is perhaps the best summary. One that is only boring, with people who maybe are "okay" but who I can never truly share my mind with. For a long time I did go the academic route, before giving it up, chasing after that desire for understanding. I can't say it gets better no matter how high up the totem pole you are, because it just seems to get worse in different ways. Like how Feynman had an impossible time explaining some of his ideas to other experts in his field, because they kept explaining to him the mistakes he were making that weren't mistakes.

"A world not made for me" and "people correcting mistakes I never made" is about right. So I've grown to prefer audiobooks and animals to people, that's for sure. I just wish I wasn't so damn alone sometimes. You get used to it, but you also sort of don't.

Once you end up in a situation where you're ALWAYS stuck explaining yourself from "step 1", then re-explaining as people fail to get it so they keep explaining more "mistakes" that aren't mistakes, and you just circle that drain until you're fed up.

That can be contextual, but where it becomes the "great filter" is when you're in academia or where the supposedly smart people are... and that didn't improve at all. Only now instead of trying to explain to some dock worker he can just multiply the length and height of a pallet (same sized boxes) to get the quantity you're trying to explain to somebody why the statistical inferences they've made from an ecological sample not only aren't valid but they're flatly WRONG from square one.

It's one thing if you're teaching students because they tend to just try to pass a class anyway. It's quite another when you have to explain to a tenured professor that they're a fucking idiot who should step down and make way for literally anyone the fuck else willing to keep up with some basic fucking meta-science. Why no, dumbass, we don't just survey people like it's the 1960s and make up whatever results we want but sure whatever go ahead enjoy the retraction farce oh look I was right. No I am not just going to "make the math look right". That, by the way, happens as often in the private sector.

Point is: It IS relative, and your cutoff IS going to be in some sense based on how far from the mean your SD is I think relative to the baseline you are dealing with. There is 100% a real communication barrier and if you're in that 0.01% life is just hell if you fight it.

I found it got even worse at 6'5 after I lost weight--suddenly I was basically the tallest AND most intelligent person in (some) rooms, and these "assistant professors" loved working out on me. When I was fat they mostly ignored me, but once I was fit, it was like, I remember one, he was 5'6 and he was just the most sophomoric person you can imagine, he was basically my dept's first equity hire in an otherwise 100% white dept.

Also none of that is at all even the tiniest agreement with the fucking retarded /pol/ idiots who can't read. The issues you find on the back-end with what I've mentioned are never in some major journal, just your usual "publish or perish" time wasting bullshit and university political jockeying for shit that doesn't matter. Meanwhile the real research only a few lucky people get to do by kissing all the assholes has nothing at all to do with how important that research might be. How we allocate funding is absolutely broken. Even so, for the top journals or "major research", there's at least no fraud involved most of the time.

The problem isn't with the academics either. It's with the administration in funding allocation because nobody in charge knows their head from their ass or how to evaluate likelihood of returns beyond clickbait headlines. THEN there's ethics review boards - where all good or common sense goes to die. https://slatestarcodex.com/2017/08/29/my-irb-nightmare/

I've been through something similar to Scott Alexander's "IRB nightmare" and it kills most good research ideas outright. Purely because some Karen was given authority to be a cunt. THAT is the problem with academia, far more than some old fart tenured professor thinking not improving for 40 years means he's still the best.

Yeah I don't tolerate that shit. Unsurprisingly I never won any awards for politics. I just always had options so "Either fucktard goes or I go" and if fucktard wouldn't go I would.

But you're in STEM, no? In some ways it is easier---the problem is that if everyone smart justs builds a hidey-hole in STEM and doesnt bother to do PhDs in English, Philosophy, etc. etc. then this leaves this disciplines that have far more contact w/ students who are far more impressionable to the wolves.

But on the other hand, being in a humanities department, if you could do STEM (philosophy used to be an exception, but more and more it is becoming "woke") is like banging your head against the wall.

I'm just saying that either way you have virtually the same problem and the problem is always relative to your level of competence. The more extreme that competence the less acceptable the roadblocks get. Sadly it gets no better at all in the private sector, you just get lucky or you don't.

Also sofar as I'm concerned students are not some "thing you indoctrinate" they come looking for the indoctrination that matches them. Self selection. They radicalize themselves and pick the professors radicalizing them in the way they want to go. Everyone else just uses any service at all to avoid those nutcases.

>USA with debt
Oh you mean the continuous rate of interest that it owes mostly to itself to begin with? Or did you mean the debt to GDP ratio which is actually relevant? Mind you pattern recognition isn’t really necessary to understand this concept but rather information acquisition and memory retention to the point the pedestrian could even grasp this concept.

Man I've explained that so many times. You have to wonder why the idiots don't police themselves and SPREAD the fucking explanation. Instead if they ever admit they're wrong they hold it private like sacred inner secrets that nobody else must know or some shit. But oh no they were real happy spreading falsehood before then!

If it is unethical then that means that people should not do it even if they want to do it and benefit from it. And if that was the case then there would exist a reason. Outside some weird anti-natalist religion such reasons do not exist so anyone who doesn't belong to the religion has no reason to view it as unethical.
