Yawn
We already know this. You broke 0 ground.
Correlation between income and iq is highly solid before 110iq and splits off above it.
Because, yup, there are more variable involved in attaining success than iq
BUT
Having a low iq limits you by itself.
Its like how just being 7ft tall doesn't make up for a lack of skill in basketball but a player with the greatest mastery of fundamental skills can never playbprofessionally if theyre only 5ft.

The number is 120 not 110 and the IQ pay increase which is stated to be 200-600 USD annually per 1 IQ point is not supported cross culturally. How did you get that so wrong. Enjoy your estimated 5k extra per year for 20 points kek.

IQ becomes a limiting factor in any society that respects nothing but conformity.
When the gatekeepers of society are selected by credentials rather than competence, and those credentials become purchasable through profit-driven institutions, the result is institutional decay.

Higher education stops producing independent minds and begins manufacturing compliant functionaries.
Over time, these institutions crumble under the weight of their own incompetence. This is what we now see across much of the Western world: broad-spectrum failure across government, finance, academia, media, law, and culture.

The natural consequence of rewarding compliance, nepotism, and credentialed obedience is the rise of despotic systems. Language is filtered. Ideas are policed. Thought itself is narrowed until only the assumptions of the ruling regime are permitted to survive.

Eventually, leadership becomes trapped inside a cage built by its own yes-men. The people closest to power are selected not for wisdom, courage, or truthfulness, but for their willingness to reinforce the illusion. Governance then becomes blind, brittle, and ineffective.

At that point, even those who once upheld the system begin trying to dismantle it from within. The society turns against itself. Its institutions no longer serve the people; they consume them.

This is what has happened to Western societies. What remains is managed decline: a slow looting of the ship while everyone pretends it is still sailing.

The answer is not to reform a system designed to enslave people through debt, inflation, compliance, and dependency. The answer is to stop feeding it. Stop using their money where possible. Stop seeking permission from captured institutions. Build decentralised communities, parallel systems, independent economies, and forms of life that do not depend on the machinery of decline.

The future belongs to those who can walk away from the collapsing order and build something freer.

Because IQ measures your tolerance. You are supposed to start with a high IQ as a toddler, so you can make up a quick rough worldview, but then it's supposed to drop, so you stop living in that fantasy world and start getting real. As it drops, you are supposed to start realizing how your past views were bullshit, and create better ones.

High IQ at an older age implies you're either a retard, who still has isdues to solve, or that you learned to solve tests.

Anyone below the age of 25 that was born in the west has been primed and prepped to be cattle.

They've been stripped of their ability to distinguish fact from fiction and can easily be swayed via media. Their only remaining value is their right to vote which is what every power having entity is fighting for. Their welfare is no longer of a concern since our overlords have already decided to replace us by century end.

It's literally what Thiel is saying out loud and what previously liberal tech moguls like Zuckerberg realized before turning inwards.

Theres only 10 ish years left of social mobility imo. All the rich people have long since abandoned public schools and it's already too deep in to the death cycle to save it imo.
>>
>>536268569
You made this the fuck up. IQ is not measuring tolerance its a quotient. By definition the average IQ at age 5 is 100. Raw cognitive ability rises through development but IQ is not stable. You have swallowed a lot of lies without even knowing what it is.
>>
>>536268785
No. High IQ makes it easire to solve problems, because it makes you happy with poorer answers, not because of any better cognitive capacity.

It's probably regulated by dopamine. The level of dopamine determines your tolerance for error, and at the same unpredictable situations increase dopamine. This regulates your cognition so that you can find some answers early on, but also use spare cognitive capacity to find better aswers once you can handle everything well.

Some torture methods may work in this way, they throw you back to the infantile state by creating situations that you can't oredict or otherwise cogniyively handle.
>>
>>536269597
First you said IQ drops by design now you say it's a dopamine set tolerance for error. Both are wrong. You've inverted it dopamine doesnt even set error tolerance but governs reward, motivation and effort. If you have too much or too little you get impaired memory. There is no evidence that more dopamine means more IQ.

I'm not defending IQ as a metric I just cant imagine how you came to these conclusions. IQ punishes poor answers that make you happy, that's low impulse. Everything you have posted has been wrong.

I have an IQ of 169 as determined by my middle school(in their dilemma of what to do with the kid causing trouble, figuring out whether to expel me or not), they made me take the test twice due to the unexpectedly high score. I maintain a non-interference policy with the lesser life forms, unwilling to lead to their destruction by giving them my peaceful ideas, only to have them perverted into killing machines. I’m not going to support the actions of our Government, and basically anything that would be “worthwhile” for someone of my intelligence would by its very nature help our government with its objectives. Unfortunately, if I attempt to help the governments whose actions I do support, I’d probably be labeled a radicalized terrorist or some shit. So, we’re at an impasse.

That only means that schools are obsessed with making students jump through hoops and make a bunch of silly time consuming homework.
People can persist in learning a subject. But it gets hard when schools make them perform tricks, and fails them if they don't toe the line.
Smarter people are more rebellious. You should work with them, not against them.
Persistence isn't one size fits all.

There is no contradiction there.

You start with high dopamine, high error tolerance. That allows you to make up a rough worldview. Once you can handle such a simplified world easily, you no longer experience overwhelming situations that would keep your dopamine high, so your tolerance for errors start dropping, and you notice some of the bullshit that you've made up (or have been taught).

When you experience something novel, that you can't handle easily, your dopamine temporarily increases, so that you can deal with it. This may be how some seemingly nonsensical torture methods work. They create unpredictable overwhelming situations that make your dopamine increase again.

Sensory deprivation/white room torture causes the opposite and makes your worldview collapse, by dropping your dopamine, which snaps you out of whatever brainwashing you were a victim of.

But a high IQ implies that there are still things that you can't effectively deal with. You are too dumb for your environment.

What many people do not know is that practically no IQ test is able to test for extremely high results like those above 160. This is because IQ tests are essentially rank orderings fit onto a bell curve with a mean of 100 and an std of 15. To be able to differentiate between a result of, say, 169 and 168, you'd need to calibrate the test using a dataset of hundreds of thousands or even millions of people. No test has done that. So if somebody claims to have an IQ above 160, he's bullshitting almost certainly. Anything abvoe 145 is already suspicious.

They gave it to me in terms of “top .99999999999(how ever many nines it was), and I had to extrapolate the result from that. It was about 168-170, which I usually round off, not wanting to claim a number higher than Einstein(168?). I also had to factor in when the test was taken, fall of 2005, as the metric is always shifting.

You should be able to handle everything easily. An adult shouldn't find any common occurence overwhelming. You are not very intelligent if you do.

To make use of pattern recognition you have to be presented (or rather present yourself) with patterns. If you just sit in your room jacking off then you never see any so its of no use. And most things aren't a pattern or puzzle to be solved and are instead just repetition. For example no matter how smart you are you can't learn a new language or skill instantly as you can't "solve" your biological limits of how much information you can absorb at one time. Smart or dumb, only consistent effort will produce results.
>>
>>536266746
IQ is just a way to measure pattern recognition, generally it's a decent indicator of intelligence but it's not enough alone, true intellect is defined by the ability to learn to new things, understand their mechanics to core and to develop solutions as well as new concept by using previously learnt concepts.
>>
>>536274654
The thing is, if you unironically say something like “it truly is lonely at the top”, even to a group of fairly intelligent people who recognize your intelligence, you’ll just get a laugh, they don’t face the same issue as there are magnitudes more people within 130-140 range than 160-170. You’ll go the vast majority of life without ever experiencing real connection with one of your peers, as they are so far and few between. To constantly put yourself out there among the sea of piss just to hopefully stumble upon a gem, this is the reality of intelligence. I spent years trying to dull it before coming to terms with my destiny.

I really love The Doors. There is something about their music with makes you feel like it's a soundtrack to the everyday happenings in your life - I think it's fantastic music.

The Beach Boys are Angelic and completely tapped into the point of infinite coherence among people - the resonance was one of happiness and belief. I know some thing in the 60s were strange but the music was just so incredible and so many artists were knocking out these pieces of music which were moving the human spirit in a very deep way - deeper than the classical music salons even I would say.

Another thing about having a high IQ is you realize there’s no actual difference between so-called success and simply doing nothing with your intellect despite the insistence that there’s some other magical characteristic called perseverance they lack. That idea of perseverance fades into nothing against the consideration that there’s no sense in contributing the gifts of intelligence to this pitiful world which invariably fails to appreciate them. In short, fuck you, that’s why. Not because I couldn’t, but because I choose to not use an exploitative cohesive instrument called money to control other humans and derive wealth and status from them.

IQ was never anything more than a prediction of life success, it then changed to be a prediction of learning ability and not it has changed again to about 10+ different thinks all of which have been stated in this thread.

Why do you cling to the notion of IQ when you are all describing things which have nothing to do with IQ. The dogma of IQ has seriously damaged people. It never worked. Higher IQ does not correlate to refusing a job this is such a strange idea it's like the AI slop videos.

IQ tests are pattern recognition and prediction. It was never what you claim it was. Those with better pattern recognition and prediction skills are less likely to aimlessly chase money. Everyone else just does it because they're copying each other. They bitch about it most the time. And buy shiny things to cope for a short while before they get bored of it and need another new item. It's a pattern of pointless behaviour.

I don't know those artists - I will add them to the list.

I love the wholesomeness of the 50s tracks. 60s was a shift in dynamics but it was far closer to self-realisation as a collective country than I think has ever been achieved. Extraordinary art was often reserved through a system of "discernment" where taste is said to have been informed by social upbringing - this is said to bring above demarcation of classes and even tests between boundaries.

I love that the 60s wasn't about that - nor was it anything resembling communism. It was a true collective state emerging from individual self-realisation. Yes there were casualties among the way but I think they wouldn't trade it.

See that all the time on /sci/ where an anon comes in, raging that some high IQ person "hasn't accomplished anything", where the anon's definition of accomplishments are things that entertain and excite the anon.
Marilyn vos Savant was once asked why she isn't spending her life solving hunger or creating world peace. Her response was "I don't care about those things". She's married to the inventor of the artificial heart and spent much of her life writing books, magazine articles, and raising their children. That's what made her happy. But for the average "I FUCKIN' love science" normie, if you're not producing headlines that remind them of their current year Netflix media product, you've failed. Luckily those of higher levels of intelligence know better than to evaluate their lives based on the criteria set by normies.
It's also worth noting that back in the early 90s, when she was asked what she thought was the largest problem facing the US in the coming decades, she answered "hyphenated Americans", meaning people who are making their own subcultures inside of the US and pushing those into taking over the central control of society. Indian-American, Chinese-American, African-American, if there's hyphen, they're creating instability for the nation. Her answer was in Parade Magazine, which almost every large newspaper in the country included with their Sunday edition. Saying such a thing now would guarantee cancellation. Back then it was common sense. People were far more upset over her answer to the Monty Hall Problem.

Because IQ isn't everything?
Nevertheless, IQ is real because people under ~130 IQ simply cannot solve very simple problems and cannot hold a lot of information in their heads. They just can't do it.
But out of the ~2% of people that are >130, maybe 1 in 1000 are creative, original thinkers, interested in stuff like politics, etc. so smart people are FAR more rare than IQ suggests

They haven’t been disproven. What occurred is jewry and their feds spread misinformation in a dialectical fashion. On one hand you have the jewish leftist types tell you it’s all social conditioning, and rhe other you have shills like jordan peterson who work for israel telling you it’s impossible to increase iq. Both are weaponized on different subset of white society. One is for the retard midwit whites who willingly commit racial suicide for jews, and the other is for those who are aware something is off but they’re told by what are considered aurhority with flimsy evidence and methodology it is impossible to raise Iq and therefoe collectively challenge and destroy jewry and their intel agencies. The truth is iq is foundationally fixed by genes, but you can do certain things which changes the physiology of your brain, thereby increasing IQ permanently. The caveat is that in order to obtain the info and act on it with sufficient discipline to raise IQ you need an already somewhat high IQ.

>Having a low iq limits you by itself.

Which proves that IQ is pseudo-scientific garbage since we can tell that a person is retarded through all kinds of manners, for example, by just talking to them for 5 minutes.

Because a higher level of intelligence doesn’t preclude one from base impulses like desires for wealth, sex and acceptance.

Despite being based on a pseudoscience, it's maybe the most "accurate" measure we have. The normal distribution is fascinating and insane.

The sentiment of the thread is a volatile mix of **intellectual nihilism**, **cynicism toward institutional authority**, and **tribal defensiveness**, punctuated by moments of genuine aesthetic appreciation.

**Key Sentiment Themes:**

* **Cynicism and Cope:** A dominant undercurrent is the belief that the current societal structure is "managed decline" or a "death cycle." Many users express that high IQ individuals are either "life failures" because they refuse to play a rigged game, or they are "lonely" outcasts who cannot connect with the "lesser life forms." There is a pervasive sense of disillusionment with education, government, and media.
* **Hostility and Ad Hominem Attacks:** The discussion is frequently derailed by aggressive insults, racism, and antisemitic tropes (particularly regarding the origins of IQ tests). Users often resort to attacking the intelligence or character of opposing posters ("retard," "midwit," "shill") rather than engaging with arguments, creating a toxic atmosphere.
* **Intellectual Superiority vs. Imposter Syndrome:** There is a complex dynamic where users claim high IQs (often 160+) to assert dominance, yet simultaneously express deep loneliness and a sense of being misunderstood. This creates a sentiment of "arrogant misery," where intelligence is viewed as a curse that isolates the individual from society.
* **Nostalgia and Idealization:** In stark contrast to the harsh debate, a significant portion of the thread shifts to a warm, reverent tone when discussing 1960s music, impressionist art, and specific paintings. Users express genuine awe and emotional connection to these cultural artifacts, providing a brief respite from the political and psychological infighting.
