Often the smartest people are the ones incapable of properly comprehending some of the most obvious signs around them. I have thought at great length about this as I work in a field with many very intelligent people. They often lack in a few departments, but one thing never lacking it seems is confidence. This confidence I believe blocks their ability to consider if they are wrong, as they almost always think they are right on any given subject. So, my theory is they build up their perception of the current situation, almost like a bubble around them, and think that everyone else is wrong as they are typically always right. This bubble acts as a firewall for them, automatically filtering out anything that goes against their narrative, as anything opposing them would mean they are wrong. It is very strange to see how they deflect and explain even some of the most obvious signs, such as the bellwether anomaly with the election. Even worse, how they perceive the plandemic. This confidence really in the end boils down to arrogance, and some of these people I think even value their own lives more than others, even if they do not directly say it. This leads to irrational thinking when they believe their life is at risk. Again, this is not everyone, but the vast majority seem to share these same exact traits and beliefs. I have given up speaking to any of them as at this point logic has been blocked by their firewall. In the end, it is worrisome to me that so many people who could be doing great things for the cause, are prevented from doing so by the very gift that would make them so valuable. However, most of the people I am speaking of are very self centered, which honestly I feel is more of a detriment more often than not. But you are doing the correct thing, do not let them go or give up on them. If they leave you, then you know they were not true friends. I wish you the best free, but I am confident in the end the vast majority will wake up.
Then the question is, is our definition of “smart” correct if people who are “smart” cannot think critically and self-analyze their own positions? Maybe “smart” is due for a redefinition.
Totally agree and I could go on about this subject as well, but to sum it up I am referring to IQ only. I do not pretend to have IQ's nearly as high as these people, but what I lack in that department I make up for self awareness and communication. In the end, I tend to fit in better on teams and people seem to like working with me. I may not be as "smart", but it does not stop people from wanting me on their projects.
The IQ tests are all about pattern recognition - something which I appear to be good at. But I'm also good at logic and lateral thinking, which separates me from those who are "smart but stupid" (SBS).
Hmm, I just thought of something else. I've always been a bit of a "misfit". I'm not autistic afaik but I've always been a bit of a loner. However, the main thing is that I've never been afraid to "think different". Never felt the need to conform or fit in with the crowd.
It's impossible to properly measure intelligence, even with IQ tests, because true intelligence is entirely situational-based. Let me give you an example... What if the pandemic was ACTUALLY a pandemic and the stores ran out of food for months. Who is more intelligent, the lawyer with an ivy league degree, or the "redneck" who owns a farm and has an infinite food supply? If there was a true pandemic, the lawyer is the first one to die. Ben Shapiro said this in one of his recent videos. "If there was an apocalypse, I would be the first to die"... Why? Because memorization and debating are useless in a survival situation. Just like being a lawyer is useless when there is no food on the shelves at the store. Even if it's not an apocalyptic situation, intelligence is still situational-based. You don't hire a lawyer to build your house. You don't hire a programmer to protect you in court. Having intelligence of one thing doesn't mean you have ALL intelligence. Having a high IQ doesn't mean you know everything. Being a master at one thing doesn't make you a master at another. It's really all common sense, but people let their ego get involved and fail to realize it.
IQ was designed to measure general competency in learning and executing a wide range of levels of work. A high IQ means you can be a doctor, an engineer, a lawyer. A low IQ means you cannot be those things. An extremely low IQ means you are incapable of basic tasks, would be legally classified as retarded, etc. The military uses IQ to make sure their recruits can follow basic commands.
On the subject of the test itself, it is supposedly designed to detect high levels of problem solving and pattern recognition. So I would argue that IQ, though likely correlated with education level (since IQ is positively correlated to wealth, and higher wealth usually means higher education level), is actually independent of education.
Let’s just say that I’ve known some people who are very very good at what they do, and are brilliant at figuring out math problems and whatnot, yet they cannot see straight when it comes to the real world. I don’t think those people have exceptional IQs because of that, in fact I am pretty certain they have normal IQs but just a lot of focus and dedication to their specific studies which makes them geniuses in those fields.
Of course I conveniently framed this argument to suggest that we, the “awakened” ones, are geniuses with high IQs because we have seen through the smoke and mirrors of society.. haha. Maybe there is some element of truth beyond just self-flattery, anyways that’s my two cents.
Great analysis. I've recently come to a similar conclusion in regards to those types of people. It really baffles me how they refuse to see the truth when it's presented to them.
I don't blame people who are blind because they just are not exposed to the other side of what the MSM tells them, but when they willfully reject any dissenting facts ARE shown to them then that's something else. Those who are like that are tend to be egoistic and full of themselves.

So true!

Great perception of this issue. ??
