Since he lives life on his own terms, being able to make a great living doing something fun, varied and interesting for its own sake, he is more intelligent than I am.

Individuals within the ranges of 120-145 can be extremely petty and pathetic. Their fear translates into narcissism and sadism, an insecurity thick with dreams of their potential never totally recognized. It is a sad, intimidating existence and this personality is most apparent when they run into others with 4sd15w. You almost always see gnashing of teeth when they run into someone just so outwardly superior to them.

Not always, true. But so consistent it’s almost predictable when entering a seminar or campus event.

>> No.15676609

>>15676552

The way you're behaving is textbook insecurity. People secure about their own intelligence and credentials don't call a person mentioning their PhD when questioned about their credentials "flexing".

Perhaps that is the case for your run of the mill videographer but I'm sure he is financially independent by this point and can also rely on donations

Anyway, I have no particular interest in defending him specifically; the point i wanted to make is that in any discussion about IQ, the elephant in the room is your own personal freedom.

If you have a high IQ and are still a wageslave past your early thirties, that is actually more embarrassing than if you were of normal or sub-normal intelligence. The exception being of course if you are engaged in some inherently interesting or valuable profession that is in accordance to your nature and genuine interests, because then the outcome is largely the same.

I'm at 145 which means only .3% of the population is smarter than me. I've liked his video, he has a way of putting important information out there, but I don't know why he said "boasting about IQ is for losers", he just says it without justification unfortunately lol. Is he afraid of the competition perhaps?

In the video he also:
Didn't show his internet results, possibly because they matched the "real" IQ test score.
He didn't comment about people who effectively raised their IQ, nor on people whose IQ kept increasing until their mid 40s and beyond.
Hell he didn't present a list with information of high IQ individuals. He could have mentioned Chris Langan, finally, for instance, what is Derek afraid of? Isn't the conclusion that high IQ people are important and deserve attention and resources? Still, a brave video imo. Thanks, it could have been much worse, God bless.

My IQ is something around 136, which would put me in the top 0.8%.

In high school I scored in the top 1.75% of all students in my state.

I then went on to do a PhD in engineering, which is only achieved by around 1% of the population. (Really, 2% of the population holds a PhD but most of those are foreign imports, so it’s skewed heavily. If we’re just counting locals, it’s probably about 0.5-1%).

I always find it interesting how consistently I perform at about the 1%ile level, no better, no worse. IQ is king.

Just start by measuring for g relative to all as a function of time, don't consider sex/gender nor age. Then measure biological age as a function of time as well(this is the creative IP part of course). g/age then predicts a longer duration until prime. Or you can apply the age correction(say at 18 or 15) and just look at smart 50 year olds from today and compare them to same score from a few decades ago, even corrected for flynn effect which is modeled only on childhood and teen years nutrition. So current X gen boomer smarties are performing better from post-25 mark. Rough explanation but sums it up.

Sorry, the previous second paragraph was still for the previous (you).
Raising your IQ(after 30s let's say) seems to be a matter of maintaining a weekly feedback of the parameters. It is like the principle of the Agile Manifesto as explained by Dave Thomas in Agile is Dead. Some people just do it instinctively with whatever feedback they have, these are the ones who neither get lost in their theory nor become these self-appointed intellectual celebrities. They are interested in really applying General theories, not just spouting niche shit or pep talks. They don't look as old as their age would indicate either, which is a change in the culture: so far scholarly old(but not senile old) = smartest in our first impression system. Everybody else is like a player-turning-NPC, slowly, so the brain gainer gets a score increase invariably. These eternal self-learners are such small groups that they don't show up on the big scale. This goes against the reproductive instinct as well(thus the mean being left behind). How many people do you know are like this? Pfft hardly any. I could say Dave Thomas is one but as I said, popular boomers get lost in their popularity or whatever, it is a red flag if you point to any known figure, even to a recluse like Perelman.

Mid high iqlets(120-133) are some of the most narsicisstic people I've ever met. I know a guy with a tested 130 iq who constantly tries to one up me in everything I do. He even dissects some of my jokes which fly over his head for logic and semantics. It's very sad to see them never being able to achieve originality in anything they do. No wonder they're attracted to fields like physics education and not physics itself.

Ted was a tranny lover who fell for the atheist -ism...
None of those -isms is supposed to work. All those -isms are pure ''thought experiments'' that atheist love to do in order to entertainment themselves.
It's daydreaming. Anarchism is a one of the hundred -isms made up by the bourgeois revolutionaries to saturate the political field in an attempt to make the plebeians stop thinking that kings were a thing. Atheists rewrite history this way.
With its moronic humanistically wishful-thinking non-aggression principle (NAP), Anarchism is literally the atheist fantasy of ''humanism of the bourgeois, without the legal republic of the bourgeois'' so it remains 100% controlled by bourgeois intellectuals. ie ''humanism is awesome''. And of course it can't be done in real life. It's literally a power fantasy for impotent beta cuck atheists. This is why it appeals to bugmen like tranny-lover Ted Kazincky and vaginally herd-follower Ayn Rand. Before atheists, anarchism never fucking existed and nobody ever though about this crappy religion (or ideology like atheists say, about their own religions).

yes. I could teach him some things, but in terms of IQ and memory and health and resources he is wayyyy higher than me. I assume that the '134' is real IQ and not internet IQ(which is about a twenty point adjustment e.g '154' = '134').
I'm a mutant, and when I had a mildly freakish IQ I was told to 'tone it down' 'don't draw attention' etc... I grew older and I had a big aortic dissection. strokes surgeries poverty etc... After being self taught, I think of things in terms of an interrelated latticework of mental models. My brain is so lazy now and it knows it can rely on these models and basically hibernates when not finding a mispriced horse or whatever...

Its funny that for me i don't suffer from categorization. I have an endless stream of questions popping out all the time. Kind of like having a stack structure in the mind where questions pop out depending on the associations i make and whether the mental model I've constructed so far is accurate. My ability to attend to each question affects my sanity and mood and requires me to be totally indiscriminate when searching for answers. But then again, i'm not autistic, i'm mostly in the schizophrenic spectrum without having any of the serious debilitating symptoms like hallucinations. I can't imagine how empty the normie mind is and how resigned it is to mediocrity, but then again, they don't have to suffer insomnia and/or overstimulation.

the processes you describes I experience in parallel.

I think its the opposite for me. I can't move on if the current question goes unanswered, so i don't struggle to answer or come up with new questions. My subconscious is hungry while conscious self is constantly overfed that i have to find a way to stop asking. Its kind of like the ethereum blockchain, the transactions (questions) are stored in the mempool and the gas (environmental stimuli) determines which transaction is prioritized. The categorization i guess happens in the background.

It's about 120-125 for the average PhD student. But its higher (around 130) for Physics and math. But keep in mind that getting a PhD also relies on ability to organize and commit to a program, not just "How smart are you".
I personally have an IQ of 140 (tested as a kid) but cannot get a PhD because i suffer from schizophrenia which unnerves people and guts my communicative and organizational skills.

His "thought experiment" supposes an idealized lightbulb that turns on for the tiniest trace current. So his argument is that as soon as he flips the switch, an EM field travelling at light speed is created, which reaches the lightbulb at the speed of light, induces a current, and turns on the light bulb instantly. This is the counter-intuitive result he turned into clickbait; it only works with an idealized lightbulb that lights for ANY amount of current no matter how small.

But actually, the current induced by that EM field is absolutely miniscule and isn't enough to light the bulb. Current sufficient to light a realistic lightbulb arrives much slower, through the wire itself. This is the intuitive result, and what actually happens in reality.

In college you have consistent busy work, and banal or not it has incentives (grades, degree). For those issues a routine focus on the incentives can help.

Sometimes I go back to maths because I'm dead afraid of Alzheimer and I try to make as much neuronal padding to survive my older years.
Anyways my life is pretty pathetic now and thank god there is art in life to shine in my eyes, I would have offed my self by then if not for what the masters have done.
