eigenrobot added,
that said shes basically right
would you rather people think that you are dumb or evil
idk people are fucked up about this. probably everyone is still coping with some combination of work becoming primarily social and intellectual on one side, and psychometrics on the other everyone got assigned a number and implicit rank and its suddenly immensely important
its fun to demand people that who call you "stupid" poast GREs because 1. they are working from the premise that this is what matters and 2. you are Yes And'ing their premise into absurdity while 3. demanding they put up, forcing them to be either cowardly or risible
I wonder if this all might partly be a product of building a society where complexity is abstract rather than concrete (understanding how financial instruments work vs understanding a web of social connections using purpose-built wetware)
but regardless I think a question that smart people have to find an answer to is "how can people who are not smart live meaningful lives in the strange new world we are creating that is directly hostile to their well-being relative to status quo ex ante"
I don't have in mind any sort of holistic answer to this question but it seems to me that not shitting on dumb people per se and not attacking their remaining pillars of meaning for cheap status wins feels like a good start
a related thought comes once more from the notion of dignity, which I envision as basically a conception of mankind as individuals of possessed of moral value independent of their ability that cannot be taken by an outside force, only discarded voluntarilypic.twitter.com/swzzTF4z2j
People who are not burdened with over intelligence and insight tend to be less depressed so they have that, right?
is this true? i am skeptical for some reason. feels more axiomatic than real
Good question. From 10 secs of search it seems the results are mixed. Here is a recent study "Overall, the team found a large number of overlapping genes shared between depression and cognitive ability."https://www.inverse.com/mind-body/genetic-links-between-depression-intelligence …
