I always had the impression that people in academically rigorous fields like Math, Physics, etc..generally held informed/nuanced opinions on even subject matters outside their field. But the more interact with them the more I realise the very few are genuinely like that. The rest generally hold retarded opinions on everything ranging from econ to history(although they like to talk like they're the authority on the matter). I'm not talking about some bums from lower tier unis. A Math Phd (from a fairly well known uni in Europe) now stalks me on my social media because he got BTFO on a history related topic. He was a maoist btw. Like how the fuck does this happen? Can your biases and base instincts override the logical part of your brain that easily?

>Can your biases and base instincts override the logical part of your brain that easily?
You have it completely backwards. It's the "logical" part of the brain that sometimes overrides the default mode based on intuition. This takes conscious intent. Academic midwits have no such intent.

Not every STEMcel is Von Neumann. Very few are well rounded individuals with intellectual humility. We aren't in the days where you need to be a naturally gifted individual to be a STEM phd. An individual with average intelligence but with the patience and the ability grind can become a phd.

It's common for people in certain fields to feel like they're super brilliant because they know one thing, but then actually be giant midwits or autists who just ended up hyper-specialized.

Noam Chomsky is an example of this. Or Richard Dawkins. They're both quite lauded in their spheres, but they both have insanely simplistic viewpoints when leaving those spheres.

it doesn't matter how smart you are if you are using flawed information to form your opinion
being good at math doesn't mean you are necessarily capable of discerning propaganda from fact, or misinfo and disinfo from fact
there is also the added layer for the super intelligent of risk vs. reward for 'noticing' and being vocal about things
dare you speak up and lose your grants/funding/opportunities? or do you pretend to have normie opinions and regurgitate the establishment party line so you can keep rolling in dough?
there have been plenty of moments in my life when I knew the truth about something, but nodded along with an obvious falsehood, because there was no benefit to speaking up
being actually-intelligent means also being able to identify the risk factors of displaying dangerous intelligence
power is okay with smart people staying in their lane, but if power notices smart people questioning their structure, they will destroy them ruthlessly
its a tiresome game and if all you really care about is a particular subject, deciding to stay in your lane is an acceptable fate (for most)
grifters like Chomsky survive off of being contentious and questioning the status quo, and its just another application of intellect in a field, in his case he is an entertainer, which is fine, but make no mistake, it IS a grift since he has no deliverables

this man (chris langan) has 200 I.Q

if you check his instagram, his pictures near the bottom show that he doesn't know how to crop an image properly. how can this be? that a 200 I.Q man doesn't know how to use technology properly?

the answer is that life only gives you so much time to gain expertise in one thing. the more you focus attention on one area, the more another area atrophies due to not being used

you can try to become a jack of all trades, but this means having a shallow generalized understanding of everything, and how it all connects..without having any detail, nuance, specifics and intellectual depth

the world favors specialists compartmentalized into their own little boxes. companies take advantage of this and keep everyone walled off from each other in their own lanes, so that nobody ever finds out what the overall big picture, intent and impact of the final product is

generalized intelligence is associated with wisdom and crystallized intelligence. older people tend to have wisdom because they've seen so much stuff happen in their lives, that they've built up a repertoire with which they can INTUIT an understanding. They can look at something that has an overwhelming amount of variables to it, and take a shot in the dark that will end up being fairly accurate

>> No.14884724

>>14884706
>that a 200 I.Q man doesn't know how to use technology properly?
Your analogy doesn't make sense because it's not like he's pretending to be an expert photoshop. He probably doesn't care how his cropping looks. But politics, history, and econ discussions are different. These are topics that many seem to care deeply about. Many even seem to put a lot of effort into it(Chomsky for example). The more accurate answer is that many people are simply unwilling to let go of their biases on these topics.

Yes modern academia is full of mythomaniac sociopaths, their ego is tied to be right at all times. They just cannot compute being wrong, so you must be destroyed in order to correct 'reality'. Sure not everyone is like that, but in the same way not all the surface of a mine field has explosive devices beneath.
In my country (as in many I think) if you contradict a professor, even for the stupidest detail on the most irrelevant topic (idk adding salt before or after the water in the pot is boiling), you're basically scarred for life and they will make you suffer. They can also put you down even if they agree with you, if they already dislike you, eh. Having tenure, they can remain insufferable and arrogant all their life. And yet they force their phd students and postgrads to call them by first name (the way it is in Ivy League teams), even if their career could be ruined at the fist signs of disagreement (or jealousy if the underling had a brilliant thought). Most people are conditioned to revere them as demigods, in the same way if a movie has won an Oscar cannot have major flaws.

Apparently being decent and pleasant and helpful is a superpower in these dire times. You made a mistake? Who cares, let's fix it up, it would be better next time, and here's some cake.
