His genetics capped him at 110 but the nurture aspect of things took over and his math iq was incalculable before his death.Why has this not been replicated?
>>17035892That is complete nonsense.
>>17035892>Why has this not been replicated?because it would put an end to globslism
>>17035892It has, Low IQ people take a longer time to learn, but manage to reach deeper insights. People like Grothendieck, Bohr, or Poincare were likely low IQ as well (at least relatively speaking)
>>17037797lmao, imagine living with this cope
>>17037799it's true, high IQ isn't necessarily related to critical thinking / logical reasoning. the best (when judged by grades) undergrads nowadays are students that never "wast time" learning anything about the subjects but instead memorize everything to get a good mark efficiently. that selects for high memorization (related to IQ) but not critical thinking. some of these students are selected (based on grades) to go to grad school and eventually become professors, which explains why it's so common for professors to answer your questions with "memorize this" when it's perfectly and easily explainable. they don't know anything, they just memorized a million factoids and it made them successful in academia.
>>17038581I'm not disagreeing with you, but you aren't answering his question. Someone can have excellent recall and be very successful, but you aren't addressing the OP implication or even your stated one with deeper insight mathematicians you are assuming were low IQ. Today we have LLM's with low IQ and tremendous instant recall beyond any human's capacity, and as much as novel content is publicized, its relatively unimpressive.But maybe you are right, this is also just my opinion, and on that, I think the mark of a successful person in most things is just creativity. If you do not have a mental disability and can score 100IQ, genuine interest, and find ways to cope with poor recall, you can outcreative and outperform higher IQ.
>>17035892>110Any proof? I'm 115 and had a hard time studying MEng.
>>17038596I'm not the same guy that made the first post. I didn't set out to answer OP's question, as I don't know the answer. I'm only responding to the cope post, and my view isn't limited to only mathematicians. As for the IQs of known mathematicians, I don't know that either. I would assume that if there's one area that has more protection against this "just memorize it" phenomena, it would be mathematics but I've had it happen with math teachers as well, so it's not immune to it.It's hard to tell what you mean when you say that you don't disagree (which means you agree) but later you say that I'm maybe right.Of course, high IQ will not make you incompetent on its own. It's a benefit, but it depends on how you use it, the sneaky part is you can conflate knowing with understanding much more easily than someone who doesn't have the high IQ, due to the memory aspect I mentioned. I'm not sure where the conversation is headed, but I can't understand any LLM to have "IQ" at all so the concept of a LLM having a low IQ seems like a category error to me. >the mark of a successful person in most things is just creativityagreed, but I'd also add genuine curiosity to that. When you think about it, after a certain point (I don't want to commit to a number because I don't know what it is, but I believe there's a hard barrier at some IQ level where people are just unable to think abstractly) what does IQ get you? It's mostly a question of speed, not that you're granted some special divine intellect. If human beings were computers, then speed is all that would matter, but we're not. Onto your LLM point, I would add this: being good at arithmetic stopped being an important thing with the introduction of the computer. The same way, I believe having a great memory is less and less important with LLMs essentially being an ultra-efficient memory bank.
>>17038596>>17038804I'm the one who posted it. High IQ gives you an advantage when thigs are simple. It allows you to process simple ideas quickly, and it allows you to extrapolate from a limited amount of data, but once things get complex, low IQ people have a very clear advantage.
>>17035892Is it possible that he was simply stealing work of his students or smb else?
>>17038602Mechanical Engineering is a good bit different, no? You have to actually understand how physical visible things interact with the forces of others. How everything goes together physically. It's not just theory but applied science with many facets.
There is just no fucking way that Euler’s IQ was anything less than 200.Sorry. That man was a living computer, Mentat, etc.
>>17039136His personality fits so perfectly the stereotypes of a low IQ person that it's impossible he was anything else.
>>17039200what does that even mean?
