      Wow. Just wow. THIS is a perfect example of why many in academia find ourselves thinking we are not "smart" enough to be scientists. Rather than use your status & privilege to build people up, you are rating colleagues based on perceived IQ. Full. Stop. #AcademicTwitter #phdchat https://twitter.com/drmichaellevin/status/1216199327959351296 …

      it doesnt determine your moral value but some things are just really hard to do without certain levels of ability everyone in science knows this and talks about it constantly if circumlocutiously

      Replying to @eigenrobot

      I saw once that the average physics grad student has a lower GRE than I do, and that struck me as absolutely insane, bc I'm not smart enough to be a physics PhD asked a physics PhD friend and he said "most of these grad students aren't either / won't be" REEEEE

      Replying to @MorlockP @eigenrobot

      tangential: it seems to me that very smart (130+) people are generally more willing to acknowledge when they are plainly not smart enough to do something wonder if this is a real effect or just selection

      Replying to @ded_ruckus @MorlockP

      It feels fairly costless to me to acknowledge that I'm not smart enough to do some things because I'm probably plenty smart to do the things that are immediately required for my role set? Or maybe because it's still Smart Enough for most standards? 🤔🤔

      wonder how what Status is as a function of IQ ? Like, I think your prob get 80+% of the IQ status there is to be had with a 130 or 150, why why falsely claim to be really smart (and risk disproval and disapprovel) for marginal utility gains ?

      I suspect that status proportion is probably closer to 95%. Higher than 140 comes with practical difficulties that are often a debatable tradeoff.

      Which failure modes? For very high, two extremely common Disadvantages are difficulty communicating with normies (everyone has about a ±2SD window) and what amounts to overfitting of concrete execution plans.

      Hmmm I don't experience these; I wonder if they're not inherent but rather just correlated for (reasons)? Or maybe I am overestimating myself on one or several fronts :o)

          introspecting, it seems to me I don't have a /special/ problem communicating with normies but I'm quasi-aspie running a Normie Emulation Engine regardless of interlocutor's IQ, maybe this helps sidestep +-2SD barrier? or maybe I overestimate, &c.

          I reliably overestimate how much my interlocutor has actually integrated from a conversation. Interestingly, this is common enough that I think it's a standard glitch: J. Random Hacker is notorious for performative elitism but in practice Just Not Getting that others don't.

          The first one is a fairly reliable phenomenon; people have trouble communicating about abstract concepts with others who are more than about 30 away in either direction. For someone at 145, this means 98% of the population.

          The second is a consequence of having the bandwidth available to perform the overfitting but also seems to interact strongly with personality.
