Geniuses see the world as a bunch of systems not individual things. Its hard to grasp how they think but imagine a computer motherboard, to a genius they process every part of it as a whole system so to them fixing a motherboard is like drawing a circle on paper to us. What crazy is they cant grasp how we dont think like that since its so instinctive to them.

>What would it be like to be in top 1% of intelligence?
It feels pretty damn good to be desu. Like I can coast my way to success in life. I can see solutions and options quickly that other people take a long time to come around to or never get to at all. For most things that aren't incredibly complex, I can teach them well because I can understand the shape of their existing mental image based on how they discuss the ideas involved and can quickly identify and correct fundamental misconceptions.
>Everyone at school, work , home or internet would seem like retard to you
This is somewhat the case on the internet but in school I was in advanced classes pretty much the whole way through secondary education. Still usually the smartest person in the room but not by a massive margin. I work in software engineering at a big tech company so there are plenty of other smart people around. Intelligence is largely genetic, and both my parents were above average. It took me a long time to realize exactly how advantaged I am because of my intelligence.

intelligence is not hereditary
coding is linguistics, a human doesn't need top iq to do it. professional chemists have higher iq requirements, for example.
being smart and being intelligent are two different things. intelligence is a stat. being smart is moreso the way a person acts and behaves in the world.

It absolutely is hereditary. Pretty much everything is Hereditary. There's a eugenics book written 150 years ago titled 'Hereditary Genius'.

it is provably wrong. Look at the parents of Nicola Tesla, Albert Einstein, William Shakespear, and the list goes on, and on, and on.
The opposite is also true. Were intelligence a 100% hereditary stats, not people of average above intelligence levels would ever have children with down syndrome. We (humanity) don't fully understand (decoded) the human genome, nor the brain, because we can't 100% replicate either.

>>84795398

>intelligence is not hereditary
It absolutely is, though regression to the mean is still a factor.
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4002017/
"The latent g factor was highly heritable (86%), and accounted for most, but not all, of the genetic effects in specific cognitive domains and elementary cognitive tests."
>coding is linguistics, a human doesn't need top iq to do it.
Sure, average people can write up a basic website or app or script and get paid $90k/yr for it. Concurrent distributed systems at high scale and complexity are not linguistics, and it does take high IQ to work with them effectively.
>professional chemists have higher iq requirements, for example.
Maybe, but they get paid a lot less than me so in your model those people must be less smart because they're getting paid a fraction of what they could be making in another job that (according to you) requires less intelligence.
>>
>>84795768
development of intelligence is also nurture. a human brain deprived of much needed resources can't develop properly.

that's the problem. the bottleneck. also, intelligence in humans increases through time given the ever improving quality of medical services and nutrients.
The short of it, is that intelligence level is a combination of lots of factors.

first of all, this is a fallacy. there is no universal correlation between the intelligence level and money. we have a lot of data and it is established pretty well by now.
secondly, are you so sure a chemist is paid less than a software engineer? reality is too broad to make such a statement, because different positions/experience levels/businesses/so forth pay differently.

might ironic, considering the words you're quoting. Do you know what "not 100%" means? kek.
>Do you think hair color isn't hereditary because two brown haired people can have a blonde baby?
intelligence is not hair color, because Albert Einstein has had way higher intelligence level than his parents did, regardless of the hair color.
I'll repeat myself, humans (the whole world) do not completely know/understand the human genetics. And this thread is a perfect depiction of this point. However, I don't doubt for a second that we will fully know and understand human genetics at some point in the future.

You're confusing an increasing average with an increasing value at high percentiles. Nutrients can't turn someone born with idiot genetics into a genius, even though malnutrition can turn someone born with genius genetics into an idiot.
>The short of it, is that intelligence level is a combination of lots of factors.
No shit. Genetics is by far the most important, though.
>>muh software engineering

The hard part is the practice, not the study.

>secondly, are you so sure a chemist is paid less than a software engineer? reality is too broad to make such a statement, because different positions/experience levels/businesses/so forth pay differently.
The bureau of labor statistics publishes average salaries for various occupations. The average chemist in the USA makes less than I made at my first job in software and now I make about eight times as much as that. Throwing up your hands and saying the world is too complex to come to any conclusions is a retarded sentiment, it's our job as smart people to develop the tools to make good decisions about complex things.

You're provably wrong, because there are indeed studies dedicated to the money vs intelligence questions.

Did not say that. Just pointed out, that there are plenty of variables one must take into account when making a generalization about salary. Not to mention that the world is not the U.S. But who cares, amigirht?
TL;DR: You can stop fighting the windmills now. Intelligence is not a 100% hereditary trait and that's the end of it. It's current science.

Living with higher fluid intelligence entails seeing more of the positive, but also more of the negative. If all else would be equal in your life it would probably benefit you overall, but all else is never equal. IQ is a strong predictor, not the sole factor.

I got IQ screened on 2 days no sleep during a psych examination. Maxed nonverbal at the test's 150, and verbal at 138. Since, despite having worked at a movie theater I have never once heard or seen the word matinee, and some other obscure word like obsequious.

Intelligence beyond a certain point of the average is isolating and raises your odds of suicide by quite a bit and lowering average salary - due to apathy, I'd assume. Unless you're deeply autistic for a mentally stimulating or meditative passion, everything kinda sucks. Or like

This is a butchering of a statistic. Attractiveness CAN BE associated with being perceived as more intelligent, mainly if you're a man. In my experience, pretty women seem to be seen as dumb, especially if they're blond. Many people see through this.
>>
>>84795655
What's your IQ, though? Are you really top 1%?
>>
>>84796860
To my understanding, IQ is kinda retarded. Even low IQ individuals can hold positions of high intellectual requirements. They just have to put in more work (time + effort), as the correct answer isn't as intuitive, and often require more guidance [be it how simplified/detailed the guidance is, and/or amount] when teaching and correcting misconceptions.

My last partner was definitely not as smart as me, but they had one hell of a memory and ease to which they'd study for hours. Meanwhile, I'd sit around sweating from how stressed I was expending so much willpower. I learn and see concepts, systems, and "whys" mostly, while they would use rope memorization techniques as much as possible. I'd often be shocked how well she'd know something without understanding it. Id learn the same amount within a fraction of the time (unless you count my stress induced procrastination), with far more effort.

One of my favorite things I heard about intelligence, is that intelligent people aren't wrong less - just in more interesting and thought out ways. I fear I'm wrong here and just speaking out of my ass from misconceptions about intelligence from my own biased view that intelligence is a curse. All backed by some studies I read ages ago and can't be asked to source or verify. I see things others don't as easily, with an inability to convey it simply. I fall into anti-social philosophical traps, and intense self awareness. I'd just say it's... Easier to see reasons to be miserable? Despite self imposed misery being irrational - I don't think IQ concerns itself with rationality, morality, etc.

That's cool, had no clue. I just wanted Adderall. I also said "as", since I've gone to many shrinks and don't particularly believe in most psychology as anything more than... A grounded version of astrology? With some exceptions, of course. Even then, people can fake stuff, misidentify their experiences, the outcomes, and be misinterpreted. Too much lost through language. Plus, I described what caused me to be diagnosed as those things, since. I don't really think I identify with those things. ADHD I do however, seeing as Adderall feels like nothing and forcing myself to do stuff is marginally easier on it. Supposedly it feels more euphoric for normal people.

Kinda assumed most of this was inferable.
>>
>>84795398
I've tested in that range and yeah, everyone is pretty retarded.
The feeling mellows out in adulthood as people specialize, can more frequently meet people who know more on a subject than you and thus can have a decent conversation.

I squandered my intelligence on a high-midwit tier career because I didn't want to go on to grad school.
Is a sore point that I don't get any sympathy for. Everyone around me sees me as a "success", but I know that this is failure and as the years pass it eats more of me.

The result is fucking boredom. It's utter boredom because not even competitive school systems allow students to skip many grades. Someone above 2 SD the mean IQ can skip 3-4 years but that rarely happens. Why? Because that requires continued motivation from the kids, the parents and the school.
>exams are so easy you don't study

I think it's less extreme than being with someone mentally challenged but yeah most people are kind of...slow when compared to me and it can be kind of exhausting. Ever since I entered academia I've more or less been surrounded by people similar to me so it's even more stark when I interact with quote on quote normal people, one I didn't realize recently is how long it takes for people to read something I can read 5 pages worth of stuff in a few minutes for most people I realize it takes a while. The best cmpoarison I can make is like being in high school forever where you're the one being proactive and leading everything, maybe like a 2-3 year gap but forever.
