    “Be smart enough. But not too smart that you are weird.” The “prior intuitions” here are more like “a blatantly invariant fact of nature” if you’ve hung around the MIT math department student lounge, for example. https://twitter.com/razibkhan/status/1079367676022018048 …pic.twitter.com/TSoY71Ks0Q

        That paper you are quoting is a study of MENSA members. Hardly a representative sample of high ability individuals. The large body of literature indicates that high ability people are as or more psychologically and socially well-adjusted than lower ability people.

        huh, I was always under the impression that Von Neumann was super social (funny, articulate, loved to party, etc). How sure are we that this was him being accidentally bad instead of intentionally "bad"? After all, it worked.

        Absolutely. That phenomenon is familiar to anyone who's spent time in those environments. But it also gives the lie to the denialism that claims that "IQ isn't really measuring anything."

        lol I always thought von Neumann was remarkably normal for a super genius. Guess he was also a bit of an aspie

        That final analysis seems... weak. Incapable or unwilling to articulate a thought due to mental pathologies (i.e., anxiety and over-analyzation) is entirely different from being incapable of “coming up with anything better”

        John Von Neumann confirmed PUA, verdict: alpha AF.
