Well you’d probably end up like Ramanujan with insane IQ. Would you live a rich and happy life? Probably not but you will atleast be smarter than the rest of us.

i don't think you realize how rare an iq over 140, and especially over 160, actually is.

>fail at life
>still claim you're smarter than everyone else
delusions of grandiosity is a popular coping mechanism

Your daily reminder that If you are an Autist with an IQ under 140, it's over for you. It's all useless. Any IQ under 135 hurts your life prospects. When people in real life say "High IQ", they just mean 145-160 IQ. Under that, you will likely have no achievements in life, and life will be shit.

well we know who has low IQ here

IQ doesn't matter. What matters is if your daddy dead or not.

oh there i am in the latter

this is a recent phenomenon if it's true at all
von neumann was almost certainly well above that and it didn't hurt him.

The more I read about eminent people, the more I start to agree with the IQ bell curve meme (you know the one).
Here's some of examples of why I think that.
Very low IQs have high Suicide rates, then they decrease until we reach intellectual eminents, who also have high suicide rates.

Very low IQs have high risk for Autism, then it decreases until we reach intellectual eminents, who also have high risk for Autism.

Very low IQs have high risk for Bipolar, then it decreases until we reach the higher ends of IQ, who also have high risk for Bipolar. (see picrel)

Very low IQs have low rates of Atheism, which then increases until we reach intellectual eminents, who also have low rates of Atheism.

Very low IQs have low conscientousness, which then increases until we reach the higher ends of IQ, who also have high low conscientiousness.

And now, Very low IQs even have high rates of orphanhood, then it decrease until we reach intellectual eminents, who also have high orphanhood rates.
I could go on with more examples, but the point has been made. The conclusion I make from this is that If you just have a high IQ, you're unlikely to be eminent. If you have a high IQ, and coupled with that somehow end up behaving or living similar to a low IQ person, then you have a higher chance of reaching eminence. And by eminence, I mean people like Newton, Tesla or Einstein, or outside of STEM people like Napoleon, Churchill or Hitler, not doctors & lawyers. These are people that had high IQs, but low IQ mindset/behaviour/lives.

But also, that having high IQs and living low IQ isn't a guarantee. But what is guaranteed is if you end up low IQ-like with a high IQ, you either end up living a shit low-tier life, or you end up as eminent because of your idiosyncracies. There is no middle path, you won't end up as a mid office worker as an autist or orphan with a high IQ. You're either really great, or really shit. Hencewhy the midwit seething meme exists.

Hope digits confirm. Maybe there is hope for me yet.
-high IQ living like low IQ

The midwit meme has always been true. Picrel Schopenhauer.
