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?
To claim high IQ as an othering trait is as disingenuous as claiming being a billionaire is a burden. I’m not mocking them because I think IQ is a *dangerous* identity anchor that should be discouraged. A gateway fetish that leads to racial supremacism, eugenics etc.

Being a billionaire can be a burden. It can also be a blessing. It’s almost like things aren’t all one way or the other. In fact it’s not a bad analogy. Being born into wealth should be a blessing. But if a person isn’t raised in a way that helps them avoid the pitfalls of it...

We understand each other now Sure wealth has its burdens, but do you notice many billionaires giving it all away and choosing actual poverty instead?
