There is something bizarre about “high-IQ” as an identity core like with Mensa. Like a trade union of capitalists or a commune of libertarians. Or that South Park joke about the anti-semitic sect of Judaism.
Shouldn’t you be winning Nobels, rather than performing identity?

i mean really i think high IQ societies are just for people who haven't figured out signaling yet

Performing identity is not the same as seeking community. If you just wanted to hang out with other smart people, you’d likely pick a specific interest like a chess club or a board gaming community. It’s like tall people forming a tall people club instead of playing basketball
