In my experience, many of the smartest people have the greatest capacity to lie to themselves and others; I don’t correlate IQ with rationality much at all. Also high IQ people tend to avoid the physical labour that really grounds you in reality.https://twitter.com/Joshuhere/status/1134452845326032896 …

I worked in hi-tech for many years and met a few very bright people that would not hesitate to fudge or hide research data that they didn't like.

Well put. I’ve seen this many times but I didn’t have a way to describe it until now

And what of us that have done excessive physical labour and are grounded firmly to reality and yet still question that reality? Not being an snarky, I’m actually asking. Because from my POV I’m having a harder time believing what I’m seeing, and I’m as ground level as it gets.

High IQ is tricky. It means a person has above average pattern recognition skills, but does that apply to the patterns in the person themselves? Can they see the delusional patterns in their own lives?

Or as I always say: It doesn't take a genius to be right or a moron to be wrong. The worst wrong people are the ones with high IQs and fancy degrees in positions of influence.

My experience too: the higher an individuals IQ, the better they are at rationalising to themselves & others their own actions & self-interested &/or ideological view of the world. People like
#TonyBlair &#BillClinton are classic examples.https://twitter.com/rogerahicks/status/1045233491875713024 …Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Smart people I know make this mistake of expecting everyone to have their level of comprehension on everything. This makes them very stressed and annoyed with other people. Have compassion. Not everyone will be as smart as you. Have humility. Someone is always smarter.

I'm working this minimum wage job at the moment while I study and it is really freeing. I am working as a sort of cleaner, sort of customer service role. You chat, you sleep, you exercise. It's all nice.

I am curious, how many commenters here are raising one or more high IQ (>132) children? What are you doing to foster wisdom and reason?

My son used to ask us to help him type up his reports. I told him the point was to learn to do them himself. He now does it all himself and gets straight A's going into high school.
