Why does it seem like we can improve our bench press, minutes-per-mile, or alcohol tolerance much more than we can increase our IQ? Can a person with a 100 IQ get a 120 score after training? 130? Seems quite believable to me.

I’ve read several of his books but just can’t stand his attitude and approach. He’s guilty of many of the same things he poo-poos in other people imho. Like a “me” problem though.
He's obnoxious (I've been blocked, then muted by him - not saying I'm not obnoxious haha), but I think his wisdom is just so good that I ignore it and just focus on the good he provides.

FWIW, I think he’s great when he’s in his element though his practice of using confusing language is PRECISELY what pseudo-intellectuals do.Feynman had it right about the truly gifted use simple language. Outside of his element, watch out.
