Dude, you have a SERIOUS reading comprehension problem.
I was giving an example of what the AUTHOR of the OP video MIGHT think, to show that he might have certain biases.
If you cannot understand that concept, then it tends to prove my point that IQ is a measure of the ability for abstract thinking.
If only it were your point
^ Dunning Kruger Effect: Stupid people don't realize how stupid they are.
(BTW, I did not downvote you, so at least one other person agrees with me.)
Most thought DaVinci a nut . A couple of hundred years later Reality changed and most thought he was brilliant. It is not the stupid that are the problem but those with the capacity who refuse to slow down and contemplate the possibilities , and just assume others are just nuts.
"But reality itself is "everything that exists."" you continue "It's just that these abstracts are within our own minds," "and abstract concepts are all part of reality."
Since IQ prevents others from seeing / understanding /knowing your abstracts but you say they part of reality. Or are they just your ephemeral dreams ? Dreams I say. Reality is that which can be proven by others not just what you say you thought. So I agree with your "reality itself is "everything that exists."
