I like your posts and your idea about IQ is something i would like to respond to in future.
For now, though. You said people with high IQ tend to have more original thought?
Maybe, but.
Sticking with Eric Hoffer and my original statement about the educated high IQ people not having original thought and the anger that arises.
Hoffer said intellectuals do not work with their hands and have no real world experience.
They have no original thinking because they are trained and educated like a seal. (swim in ocean kind, lol)
But, take a plumber that is called out to a house with a backed up toilet. This person has the knowledge of his training, but encounters a new problem they have never seen.
They figure it out in real time with original thinking.
They worked with their hands and were original thinkers. The customer just wants their shitter to flush, but that plumber goes home so satisfied and happy at what they accomplished.
IQ tests are a joke. The purpose of an IQ test is to convince everyone that they have an above average IQ, which means they are “smarter than average”.
Once you convince stupid people that they are actually smart, they tend to identify as liberals.
And then these liberals assume anyone who doesn’t see the world the way they see the world must be stupid, crazy, or sadly uneducated and ill-informed.
I was actually saying the opposite. IQ tests scores are artificially inflated, to the point where everyone has a triple-digit IQ, my own included. Everyone i know is smarter than me.
Having a high IQ doesn't make you a liberal. Plenty of people with high IQs are liberty-loving patriots. But going to a liberal college (most of them), where you're indoctrinated by lying Marxists for four years, might make you a liberal.
They think they superior than the rest, they’re defeated by their arrogance. IQ is not everything. Silicone valley foreign workers all have high IQ and they’re just glorified slaves.
Eric hoffer said it is because they are highly educated with a high IQ, yet never have an original thought.
They are aware of this and it makes them frustrated then angry.
This leads to a crash and burn everything mentality.
Hoffer describes it better than i just did, but this is a main part of it.
Kinda like believing your own "press".

Rightfully, so.

You are correct about IQ tests. They are BS today.
Good story about my dad.
He was given an IQ test when he was in elementary school. Scored 145.
He dropped out of school in 8th grade.
Joined navy when he was 16.
He scored as high as you could on initial test. Corporations took notice.
Exxon offered him full school, room and board as well as a stipend for food and fun.
My dad turned it down. Said, why woukd i go to work for this company when i can make one myself.
Btw, he took the navy IQ test and scored 160.
He was not a functioning autist, but i can tell you this. He had a full rolodex, but never used it. He had every name, adress and number memorized.
When beepers came out, he required me to memorize every customer name and number.
People with over 140 IQ are rare and they are amazing.
A lot of people walking around today that think they are smarter than they are.
Probably a part of our problem.
