oh yeah I’m sure there’s stuff like that - people like to tell stories with science props, but the relationship between various well-being measures and intelligence measures seems inconsistent but usually pretty positive to the extent that you get a signal in a large sample

there is DEFINITELY the possibility that extremely high intelligence people are fucked up, and that it’s hard to prove because there are so few of them, but I haven’t seen anything really convincing one way or the other

Startlingly little research seems to have been done on very smart people. I sometimes wonder why. Maybe prospective researchers suspect outcomes would be too uncomfortable and it’s de facto taboo

Wouldn't very high IQ ppl feel that they could design and analyse a better experiment than the numbnut grad student running the one that they are in?

I don’t know; empirical question? Has anyone *tried* to do the research, and failed because they couldn’t recruit subjects? How would we find out whether that had happened?

We could ask Mr. Trump whether he had been approached for such a test, and ask him to ask his friends. He's only friends with smart ppl, the smartest, very high iq ppl, and as such because happenstances that he's a v hi iq individual himself who thinks smart thoughts, the smartes
