How come we never hear of those 200 IQ children who got a doctorate at 11 ever again? How smart do you have to be to "change da world" through science alone? Is it over for a single person to do that?

You have to be smart, lucky, and incredibly motivated.

They get by easy and don't have the work ethic when it comes down to actual work. 100 mediocre PhDs collaborating are more likely to "change the world" than some arrogant little shit with no work ethic who drives everyone away being an entitled asshole

Also, just because you get a phd by age 10 doesn’t mean that your “intelligence cap” is super high. It just means that you reached it faster.

Ego. They all want full credit for their work. I propose that high IQ prodigies must take an extremely high dose of LSD/Shrooms in order to kill that hideous thing that is the ego. Maybe then your idea would work.

science can't do that, scientists are too low iq to wield influence of that caliber, according to the smartest scientists of all time. think hes wrong? think you're smarter than einstein?

that explains why the people who take psychedelics are such massively loudmouthed braggarts and know-it-alls

If you have 200iq best case scenario you'll be making 6 figures working for someone with 110iq, who makes millions.
IQ is just autism, it doesn't make you win at life.

Probably because their IQ stabilizes at a more reasonable level as they grow up and then it hits them like a brick that things are no longer effortless. The magic of being le wunderkind is lost, they get bored with the subject and move on to become a truck driver or something.

So you deal with it by derailing 90% of the threads with your whining instead of posting anything of value. People whining about /pol/ are 1000x more of a problem than /pol/ itself, most of which probably are just people like you trying to stir shit up.
Be the change you want to see, not the problem you whine about.
