      And... I've spent a lot of time downplaying this. People are like "Genie, how do you know so much?" "Genie, how did you figure this out?" etc etc and I downplay it and go "Oh well you know, I just spend a lot of time reading" or "Here's a simple trick that I used".

      And these aren't wrong, but the reality is that the answer is often "Sorry I'm just a lot smarter than you are" and I *can't* give that answer. It would be awful.

      And generally I've responded instead by trying to teach people how to think better and that's good and often works and I totally intend to keep doing it, but... it also doesn't actually solve the gap.

      I can give you all the nice well packaged thought tools you need but the fundamental dynamic stays the same. I'm handing people these little well packaged memeplexes and they're like "omg this is a revelation" and I'm like "this is literally the most obvious thing to do here"

      And don't get me wrong, the people I'm talking about are not stupid. They're often very smart themselves. Just... honestly, less so. Because there really aren't very many people out there as smart as me. And this feels very lonely.

      Don't get me wrong. My friends are wonderful amazing people and I wouldn't trade them for the world. Smartness isn't everything, and many of them are much better people than me in other ways. But in this particular, and important, way, I really don't have any connections.

      And it often feels like I'm hiding this aspect of myself from people around me, because everyone in the nerdsphere has internalised the idea that their smartness is their source of self worth, so if I reveal how much smarter I actually am it will make them feel bad.

      This is a very widespread problem, equating iq with moral worth Not just endemic to the nerdspherehttps://twitter.com/mechanicalmonk1/status/1211189704756006912?s=20 …

      OHHH People think that having higher IQ means being "inherently superior to other, lesser" people! This explains why convos around IQ are always such a shitshow, among both groups & individuals (hm, now that I say that, it sounds kinda "duh". I might be a bit on the spectrum) https://twitter.com/ashleyfeinberg/status/1210794864599633920 …

      any system of incentives that tries to lead ppl into contributing more value is going to give more glory to intelligence than unintelligence, among other traits

      Glory ≠ worth And there are better things to incentivize people with than worth You can give everyone equal moral worth, dignity, and humanity, and then reward the productive ones with better mating opportunities (or money, which is a clumsy proxy thereof)

      a sense of worth that is divorced from all social economic and darwinian validation might be noble but probably not very useful. i don't think most ppl think this way or will ever think this way.
