There's always an article about a kid with a 180 IQ and they never go on to do shit
>>85604052iq is partially a meme and the pressure put on kids like that fucks them up. even super high iq people don't all become terrence tao.
>>85604052They do shit, it's just not revolutionary because it doesn't work like that.The big changes and discoveries all require teamwork and funding and etc,
>>85604052nice cock ahmed!
alot of geniuses end up being schizophrenic and or have severe substance use issues. it's a double edged sword.
>>85604052Having an extremely high IQ doesn't mean you will accomplish anything. The most important scientific discoveries of the 20th century were largely conceived of during moments of inspiration and creativity rather than by rigidly applying the scientific method until something stuck. "It came to me in a dream" is more common in revolutionary science than "we applied our system a million times until something worked".Also, geniuses aren't what they used to be. In the past, the hyper intelligent basically lived under a system of patronage and were paid by the ultra rich to sit around fucking with stuff and having ideas until something stuck (or nothing) because the ultra rich in the past had a sense of noblesse oblige.
Intelligence is depression and depression is the loss of motivation
>>85604052iq is scaled with age, so most kids score ridiculously high, i knew a complete dumbass football meathead who said he scored 130 on an iq test as a kid and i believe him, cause its totally possibly to lose 30-40 points between single and double digit age. your intelligence only matters as an adult unless you are some creepy prodigy in some specific skill.
>>85604052once you get past ~140 you start to realize that none of it matters. you're no longer really "in" this world and you don't care about "accomplishing things" within it; nihilism is common among all intellectual classes, but it's near-ubiquitous among the very top.
>>85604068The big chungus
>>85604052funny but stillI don't want to repeat myself.
>>85604052They knew that the smartest thing anyone can do with their lives is to just live off of welfare and masturbate all day.
>>85604052A system not designed for smart kids will beat the joy right out of them with meaningless busywork and fail to teach them how to learn, persevere, and schmooze unless the adults around them override it. Our best talent is consistently wasted by feeding into into the mediocrity machine.
>>85604073Or just kill themselves. Lots of kids kill themselves.
>>85604068your einstein, your newton, your feynman, your tesla, your oppenheimer?

What do kids with a sub 80 IQ do?
>>85604969Have sex and reproduce
>>85604861There are hundreds of researchers out there right now with equivalent IQs trying as hard as they can without any breakthroughs or revelations.Genius + motivation + environment + a lot of luck. That's the formula for being IQ and remembered. Most high IQ people just focus on getting the most out of their life, mapping the universe is an obsession that's not fun and won't get you any pussy. You have to be both smart and driven to discover in order to create new mathematics or scientific theories.
what's there for them to do?
I remember some story of an asshole who named his kid something like winner and loser. The winner kid grew up to be a complete loser while the loser kid grew up to be super successful. make of that what you will
>>85605084I feel it's more so a fact that by process of elimination the core aspects of nature that are possible to reason out by just a single genius are dwindling especially in modern times. We need a whole fucking particle accelerator to advance many of the cutting edge theories of particle physics for instance.
