@Nick_B_Steves in the top 1-5% of IQ. Look around MIT and you'll see a large number of smaller, less athletic types. No coincidence. -
@HbdNrx This breaks down with the population I alluded to.... 8-. -
@HbdNrx Populations plural really. Plus there are cultural feedbacks. In 1966, Professor was the smartest AND best looking guy on the island -
@HbdNrx And absolutely no one thought this was weird. -
@Nick_B_Steves There have been some cultural changes, and i don't know what happened to make being smart so uncool, but the jock vs. nerd -
@HbdNrx On the contrary. Smart became the new cool. Or was at least privileged over where it used to be. -
@Nick_B_Steves I don't think this is true. NASA engineers were looked up to in the 60s. The whole culture seemed to value science more. -
@HbdNrx Absolutely. *AND* those engineers were above average in athletic ability too. That's *WHAT* I'm saying. Exactly. - 1 more reply
