My biggest mistake is working in healthcare where I'm mostly surrounding by coworkers who are women. All they talk about is food, counting calories, clothes, counting calories, diets, counting calories, celebrity gossip, counting calories, office gossip and why they can't lose weight. Maybe it's because you order out EVERY SINGLE DAY and eat like shit and can't cook real food. FML...
Yeah. I made the same mistake. Worked 9 years in a large dental lab, mostly men. Switched when I moved to a smaller one with 3 women. The 1 co worker I had was diagnosed Bipolar. I would have been better off sticking a fork in my eye. I left to work in retail after 1.5 years.
Same, I'm in laboratory. It is really tough working in a sea of women where it's nonstop tiktok, food, far left politics and waaa men are the root of all problems. Sometimes I think about walking away and just going the military route, but then I hear what Popp has to say on all of that.
@@chintz7428 At least half a dozen times in my career a contract or job was royally messed up by some HR type lady. In one case the company was using my own patented volume rendering software to render tricubic volumes for upstream gas exploration. I had to work in the office. The shared bathroom was always locked. All questions about the bathroom had to go through the HR lady. Well the HR lady "didn't like my tone" and got me fired over an email about the bathroom being locked.
Anything but study nutrition and take vitamins right. And if you try to jump in their conversation and say "it's not the calories it's the TYPE of calories have you tried eating clean non procecced food along with a vitamin and mineral supplement and cleansing toxins? Try it some day.
I have a coworker who thinks he’s the smartest person in the room when in actuality he just sucks all the oxygen out of the room. He brags about the 2018 F-150 he bought at 17.99% APR ($800.00/mo). It’s exhausting just being in his presence.
Yeah that's actually pretty typical, people who are incredibly stupid tend to think they're incredibly competent and skilled in a variety of area's that they have no personal experience in, where people who are more intelligent will actually be more likely to be less confident, until they start becoming a mega expert on the topic, then confidence typically rebounds a bit. But yeah stupid people think they're genius's and genius's tend to think they're kind of stupid.
@dominusbalial835 So true. This guy I knew years ago absolutely went OFF once about some of the legal technicalities of this deal in the news and how this guy should be jailed. My reply was, "It all depends on how the contract is written." He completely brushed it off and continued his rant. Spoiler alert: the guy didn't go to prison and the news service was wrong. SHOCKING.
Lol...the validation seeking normies that waste all wealth on status chasing for clout are so boring and insufferable to ve around. They're literally taking their insecurity out on you by hiding it as a brag or flex when it's actually pathetic if you know they do it based on lack of self worth and sheep thinking typical of low iqs. He needs others to validate his material possession to feel better about himself despite wasting his life paying double the price overtime in loan interest....
How to survive being a smart person in an average world? Don't drink too much and avoid anything stronger than booze. Don't marry if you are a man (you'll become a philosopher!). DEFINITELY marry if you are a woman. Don't try to buy happiness--spend less than you earn (Excellent advice regardless of IQ). Strive to find employment that utilizes your mind--you need to work that brain or it will END you. Seek out like-minded individuals...I can't stress this enough. You're smart, so appreciate ANYONE you can relate to who reciprocates. Be stoic...you are ahead of the curve, and you WILL be hated on. It is what it is. Sincere best wishes to all who have this Gift of The Universe, cleverly disguised as a curse.
Great advice...and one uncomfortable truth that few will point out is that stupid people breed faster than smarter people. So generationally, we get more stupid people which is why that movie Idiocracy seems more like a documentary.
Best job I had was being a progressive steel die press operator. I didn't have to talk to anyone. I just operated the machine for 12 hours a day, six days a week. It paid great, too. I don't need to think at work. I can think at home when I read and create.
Buying happiness is like being addicted to a drug. No matter how much you keep paying for it, it doesn't satiate your boredom. Rather pursue personal contentment and save your $$$.
I was in a horrible accident a couple of years ago and I ended up with a broken giveashit. Anyway, ever since then stupid people don’t bother me as much.
I read somewhere that the smartest man in America has an IQ score of 210. Evidently he works as a bartender/bouncer. I guess he is smart enough to just walk away from it all and watch from the sidelines.
Most tests don't go beyond claiming 160. I'm getting a mild impression some tests are scaling that back to 145, due to uncertainty about numerical values, and even how to properly test for that high. My criticism of this 210 guy would be the same as Marilyn vos Savant. She supposedly scored 228 on a test that maxes out at 180 (if I recall correctly). That's like stepping on a scale and it says 3000 lbs. If you're not an elephant, there's a problem with your measuring device. In general, any claim to have an IQ above 160 is dubious, on the grounds of our inability to reliably measure that high.
If I remember correctly that guy is a horndog so he put himself in a way for his chosen outlook. If it's the same guy he's full of it and on video.. Stupidity knows no IQ level.. IQ EQ Balance Life quality, but he looks happy, good on him.
Tests break at 140 even the ones that measure beyond that offer disclaimers... 140 is official mark for genius because 130 @ 2 deviations is enough to find what level of "exceptional" the world looks for. Much higher than 95th percentile you are too much an exception to function as a drone even a high level one...
Contrary to popular belief, stupid is NOT the opposite of smart. Dumb is the opposite of smart. Stupidity, however, is a moral failure and not an intellectual one. Stupidity is a lack of both self control and principles.
Dumb is the Old English word that means "mute, speechless," and itself came from an even older word dheubh meaning "confusion, stupefaction, dizziness." Today,
@james- it's very wise, very smart, to define words/terms/ideas. Without definitions you can say and get away with anything. Good on you. Here is the best definition of stupidity and foolishness I've heard that has encapsulated my experience. If am going to be sent back for/in my next life it will be for my failure to suffer foolsgladly. ruclips.net/video/3O9FFrLpinQ/видео.html
I don't consider myself any more than average intelligence. But I do consider myself informed because I put forth the effort to try to understand how the world works. I'm smart enough to know that I don't have all of the answers. I think that's all it takes, really. You don't have to be a genius. You simply can't have your head intentionally stuck in the sand.
Yeah most people's issues in life isn't their intellectual capacity but how their ego limits their intellectual capacity artificially. They lie to everyone including themselves, they victimize everyone including themselves, in fact their biggest victim in life will be themselves. Because they'll spend their entire lives immersed in a false self instead of experiencing their true emotional state. They spend their entire life a stranger to themself. They spend their entire lives running away from themselves and their trauma.
I've always been an average student. Math was always hard.... Then I had to study technical math where you calculate forces on physical objects... Bridges, walls, shearing forces, orbits, terminal velocities.... And bam! As and Bs throughout. I was not dumb like I thought... I was just bored.
The best way to engage with humanity's greatest minds and ideas is to read. More deliberate thought and innovative inspiration goes into even a marginally stimulating book than any TED talk or podcast ever recorded. Many of the greatest minds in history, who found no peers in their own place and time, turned to reading and writing in search od solace. Once you've read enough to find those minds that challenge your own, you'll either find your peace of mind or know what you want to write. At least, that's how it's worked out for me. If you want a recommendation as to what to read first, Bukowski is a pretty good bet for anyone in this vicinity. Other than that, all those classic books that everyone has heard of will give you plenty to think about even if you disagree with everything in them. Beyond that, I can while heartedly endorse my own books (Welcome To The Divide and Vitruvia 144) with shameless bias, while mentioning that great writing doesn't pay, and those that awe us today were dismissed in their own eras.
As for pushing the granny…PEOPLE THAT JUST STAND IN THE MIDDLE OF PAVEMENTS.. oh my god. I got to saying ‘Winner!’ And they’d say ‘What?’ ‘You’ve won todays just f*******standing there competition.’
First and foremost, listen to Aaron. Second, delete your social media. This will limit who has access to you and protect your time from dumb people. Third, delete your news apps. This will further limit filling your head with pointless data, i.e., garbage. You only have so much mental shelf space. You ought to be thinking about and practicing the skills that will make you money. Do these three steps and you'll be far ahead of everyone else.
have you considered everything is on here because its allowed to be and what the reason for that is? Every 'thing earned' is taxed and fuels the very thing everyone rails about and saying more or just this is probably already gonna make this text develop invisibility powers like harry potters cloak
Standing is easy. Just don't expect company. Getting the crowd to stand with you is the game. your reply is not shadowbanned yet but its only been an hour. Lucky for you no blue hairs watch Aaron so the citizen morality police will likely miss this. If anything, my FBI watch listed ass is going to get you shadowbanned with my presence. Alphabet p-philes watch me like a hawk. 25 yr old white straight masculine male militant anti-communist fascist who openly calls for New Confederacy daily both online and in person. I'm the boogeyman of the ABC societies. I'm literally the green goblin of the spider-man society. I'm EVERYTHING they tried to prevent me from becoming. The human pinnacle of propaganda failure.
i've been tested three times.....121 119 and 120. consistent. not a genius but it does become tedious work finding someone to chat with. they're just not out there.
My son struggled with reading at school due to dyslexia but later learnt to read from subtitles on anime. But at the same time taught himself to speak fluent Japanese.
When I was 22, I scored a 144 on the Stanford-Binet. Everyone freaked out. I couldn't care less. I wanted to build fast cars and chase girls. I just wanted a career that would bankroll those endeavors. I retook it at 42 and scored a 118. The age modifier will get you. If you live long enough by the algorithm they use, you will eventually become a moron. Plus, I was in college and doing academic studies at the time of the first test, and I had 20 years of DILLIGAF before the retake. I know I'm an order of magnitude "smarter" than I was at 22, but the metrics to use to calculate that don't really exist, except life's decisions and consequences.
A good test of wisdom is to read the book of Ecclesiastes in the Old Testament and see how much of it you agree with. All is vanity. Best wisdom is found in the final 4 verses.
@@what-about-bobof course it's vanity. But there are things you want to do for enjoyment. Nobody has to worship you for it to be important to you. Enjoy your days under the sun. It's an assignment. And by the way, wine makes a glad heart and money is a cure for many things.
Verse fourteen is the antidote to Aaron’s argument that taking advantage of people you find morally and intellectually below you. I’ve seen God bring His justice to wicked people apart from any action of my own. It’s worth the wait. [13] Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. [14] For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
I like reading about Michael Burry. That dude (and a few others, such as Peter Schiff) predicted the housing crash of 2007 and took advantage of it. The lesson I learned from that is: cash in on the spending habits of the "normies."
Yeah true. Alot of normies blame Pelosi etc. for changing the home loan qualifiers. Along the lines of what you say, I blame everyone taking loans they knew they couldn't afford. Bastardos.
Good point. Ask an average person what meaningful conversations they have with a severely mentally disabled Downs Syndrome person... then say "that's what it's like dealing with you"

I have a poster on my office wall who reminds me daily about one fact in our democracy: TEAMWORK: Never underestimate the power of stupid ppl in big groups. Yeah, im german. ^^ a cynical one i admit.
Your pairing of the title with, the thumbnail, really helps elucidate a way that I might be more easily able to deal with the people in my life. I. e., perhaps these people are just dumb. Not evil, as I thought they were.
I think Harrison Bergeron is a phenomenal illustration of the modern culture of equality. We cripple the exceptional for the sake of the lazy, stupid and worthless.
The problem with Asia is you cannot easily acquire citizenships there. That said, acquiring Japanese citizenship is quite realistic. 5 years continually staying there and a few other requirements. The language skills they require to pass you are quite modest. You need to be able to write like a 2nd grader in Elementary School. I believe it's somewhat realistic to become Korean as well. However, as a general rule, Asia is not very welcoming of new citizens. Latin-America is much better for naturalizing. In a place like Uruguay or Argentina, most people are white anyway, so you won't stick out. I lived for 5 yrs in Japan and there's absolutely no problem being white there. But as someone who is fluent in Japanese, I don't always enjoy strangers talking about me while next to me. It's not really a problem, but it does impede a little. You do get occasional reminders that make you feel "I am not of this place". Meanwhile in a place like Uruguay you'd just slide in entirely after 5-10 years I would imagine. And Spanish is approximately 3 times easier than Japanese in my estimation. So, my reality is that I could move to Japan now and stay 5 yrs, seek to naturalize. But I am not paying their insane socialist taxes. Probably 40%, maybe 30% if i go crazy with all the deductions. You basically get an insane tax rate, and then hopefully deductions bring it to a sane level. Japan's service level is dropping bit by bit given the influx of non-Japanese 7-11 workers and the like. It's not a big deal, and I don't think Japanese service culture is really at risk quite yet... But in 20 years, I don't know if it will still be quite the same. Still, it will probably remain way better than anything we're used to as Westerners. And if a particular restaurant doesn't provide great service, just visit another one.
I had taken online IQ tests before and scored 125-130. Just took that queendom test and scored 140 (99th percentile). I dont buy it. I think it was a better rounded test than the others (which were strictly pattern recognition without word logic problems, a strong suit of mine), but I don't think 140 is right. I think 130 is accurate.
@@beowulf_of_wall_st it has nothing to do with smarts, it has everything to do with self confidence. Confident fool is a disaster, confident genius knows his value. It's 4 groups: High Skill/IQ + High Confidence (in skills) High Skill/IQ + Low Confidence Low Skill/IQ + High Confidence Low Skill/IQ + Low Confidence The third is the worst because it's all the fools still affected by that effect I forgot how to spell (you know, where you think you're good at it but actually you're not), the first one is kinda ideal, since you wouldn't undervalue yourself AND you got the value. Although two people of the first type are gonna be a disaster in teamwork
Depends where you are. You need to have a data tester that actually collates the data and correlates it. MENSA is one that sticks out. I never have done an IQ before (at age 35) but this year due to heavy depression and reading about autism (very high chance) I did the UK Mensa home test while on anti depressants, poor diet and limited brain activity due to the environment,stress, etc and scored 131. All it did was show me that autism + high IQ = a given for depression.
I took an online IQ test. Don't remember which one but scored over 150. I know for damned sure I ain't that smart, so I had to question the test. I think what helped is I used to like to do those "Logic Puzzles", such as the magazines that Dell publishes A lot of IQ test questions are similar to the puzzles in those magazines, so if you want to rack up an impressive score on an IQ test, practice with those, but it won't mean you are a super genius. It just means you're good at taking tests.
@@RRaquello once you do one test - you can really cheese a lot of them online. They shouldn’t be one type of shape question. Example: the Mensa home test had questions on shapes/patterns, numerical question, word association and similarities. Plus you’re given 40 minutes to do the test. For Mensa (doesn’t matter what country) if you score 132 (even at 131 there are exceptions) you are classed in the top 2%. I haven’t taken the supervised test - they did email me and ask me to do it as my home score was high but reason for it was for the depression aspect. Maximum for Mensa is 162 but if you are getting near those figures it’s either savant like qualities or extreme autism e.g playing the piano by ear with no lessons or advice.
@@Jonathan-Shadow I've never taken the Mensa test but the type of questions you mention I've done very well on in the past. A lot of it comes down to process of elimination (on multiple choice questions) and then making a good guess. A good guess isn't just luck, but luck does play a part in it. Usually on multiple choice questions of that type, you can quickly eliminate two of the choices and then even if it's a pure guess you'll guess half of them right which will still give you an above average score since you're guessing 1 out of 2 instead of 1 out of 4 like most people. Then a bunch of the questions you'll get right just because you figure it out, and others will be "educated" guesses where you have an idea which is the right answer, but you aren't quite sure. Maybe 75% of those you get right. Suddenly you're scoring in the genius range, but I wonder if what's genius on a test is genius in the real world. Can someone who figures out a difficult numerical pattern figure out why the carburetor on his car isn't sending the right fuel mixture to the cylinders? How applicable is being able to figure out puzzles in an IQ test to being able to figure out the puzzles you face in your life?
Guantlet down! English is the curent trade language and is extremely specific in insane ways due to its nature it seems. That nature being roofed in an advantage over the other party in an agreement or deal.
I haven't done a proper IQ test yet, but i did some online free IQ test things that Mensa points you towards on their website, and I got like 150+. Actually maxed out one of the tests, so it's kind of inconclusive. I kind of dont even want to know what I'll get on an actual test. It's kind of depressing to know I just won't have many people to relate to.
Cappy is a man of culture. Only likes 70s-90s anime, golden age was great. Ninja scroll, Gundam, Robotech, Trigun, Vampire D, Neon gen, Rionin Kenshin, Fist OTNS, BERSERK 👁👁 lmao Classics hit better, reminder of the times when everything was better cause everyone wasn't stupid.

Maybe not joe drain clearer, but project managers commercial contractors, and even foremen in those industries are all pretty dang bright
I have multiple Masters in STEM. Don't get the PhD because 1. The competition for the few jobs is much higher. 2. I got many jobs and told to my face that they hired me because a MS with 4 years experience is the same as an entry level PhD and they don't have to pay me the PhD salary. I was given very challenging work (like an FDA field Investigator, where you're flown into strange places to find a problem and fix it while some people cover it up and the rest don't even know there is a problem). The problem is the biggest challenge was working with really dumb business people who have no idea how close they were to complete shut down and don't know what you did, who you are, or invite you to the Christmas party.
I hate to agree on the disconnect when you have a high iQ and a passion for learning. I’ve yet to meet anyone about 150 whom lacks the ever present love of learning. I used to self medicate with alcohol to find a connection and not give in to that horrible feeling of being isolated. Two hardest languages Russian and Chinese, my son learned magazine was entertaining at 7 years old singing Christmas songs in fluent mandarin. If you are in stem Russia has by far the greatest institutes on earth. And the Russian people are nothing like the propaganda we’ve been programmed with. Used to be Moscow was origin of over half the worlds highest intellects in academia.
@@deker0954 doubt it that’s the ONE military technology Russia is inept in. Very strange the lack of propaganda and information warfare from the Russian state, it’s disconcerting even. Alas for those in the west whom are not specifically pavlovs dogs level programmed most are emotional reasoning and are a gigantic embarrassment, pathetic excesses for what men weee supposed to posses .. intellect the ability to apply critical thinking, logic/reason and healthy scepticism. Heck I’m so old I can remember when being a classical liberal would have you labelled a nazi today.. boys and men could disagree discus and debate topics/subjects without lowering themselves to emotional instability and infantile reactions. I miss those times..
@@deker0954 where can one buy “Russian propaganda” I’d love to actually find some credible evidence of some. It’s rather bizarre the Russian lack of it, it’s almost as if they have some other method used to sway the masses thinking ..
I took a class in Russian out of curiosity and didn't think it was especially difficult. Much easier than German. At least the grammar is. That was an introductory Russian course, like conversational Russian, so maybe when you're dealing with difficult technological subjects that's when it really gets hard. German there's so much foundational stuff you need to know even at the conversational level that even the basics are hard.
@@TILLEYJS WAIS is an IQ test. Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale. I was given the kids' version of that test when I was in the 4th grade: WISC. I never knew it until I was in college and saw a copy of the WISC in Psych 101. Then I remembered it.
Sopwith Camel. Nice reference. However the average functionally retarded furless monkey, isn't even the equivalent of a supremely good WWI aircraft. They are more like a De Havilland Beaver. They have a just barely good enough useful load. Decent range, very slow cruising speed. Not even WWII equivalent altitude ceiling. But are just reliable enough to be dependable for daily use.
I disagree with cappy on housing, if you're gonna work from home you need your own office. Don't share one with a woman unless she's part of the like 0.1% of woman who knows how to shut up, otherwise having her in the same room with you all day will reduce your productivity by at least half.
I don't like to call myself intelligent because it feels kind of dickish. But realistically speaking I am. I've come to terms with the fact I'm just going to be bored no matter what i do. Espexially when talking with most people. Luckily in highschool i became best friends with another smart guy, who unfortunately moves to the other side of the country lol. But actually i find the most enjoyment in just sitting on my own by a lake or something just experiencing life. Maybe drawing or making something.
Most Americans pay the maximum tax rate on income.They have not managed their finances in such a way to pay less. On top of that they pay almost every penny on things that have no value. These things of course have built in taxes. The end user pays all taxes. Do we base smart on consumption or IQ tests? There would be an industry formed to hand out faked test results.
I've scored pretty high on IQ tests, including one that was administered by a professional when I was in school, so not just an internet test. I don't know if that means I'm smart or just good at taking tests and making good guesses. However unlike a lot of high IQ test scorers, I almost never find myself bored, even though I never worked a mentally challenging job. I think maybe because I grew up in a blue collar family and stayed in that when I got my own jobs, so most of the jobs were physical labor that kept you busy, as opposed to desk work where, when you finished quickly because of your higher intelligence, you just sit there. There's always something you can think of to keep your mind occupied. Even surrounded by a bunch of dummies as I was much of my working career, I could usually get amusement out of their silly antics and sophomoric ratiocination. I think what may be missing in these super-smart people is a sense of humor. The world really is a clown show and what do you do with clowns? You laugh at them. I think the few times I really get bored is when I'm in a social situation and the people I'm with are nattering endlessly on about trivia like movies/TV, clothes or favorite foods and restaurants, which are about the three most boring topics of conversation in existence. Then when I'm faced with that, I just leave--either the room or I go home.
Cappy, im gen z. Do you have any advice along these lines for those of us who have become so alienated that we just numb ourselves? In a lower state I can at least pretend to indulge others..........as a result, my coping mechanisms are a bit jacked up, as I am sure you could imagine
Just don't. Its too much stress and strain trying to be a Da Vinci in an era too stupid to even have comprehension of the basis of your argument topics much less pushing the cutting edge out farther and furthering human knowledge limits in the process. All that effort could be spent on something that actually matters; not trying to become a slave to emotion like 90% are.
As a skilled glass artist for the past 12 years I agree. Most people are too dumb to appreciate excellence of creativity. Art quickly turns into baseball card trading hype in a seemingly decadent environment. Going off who the artist is, rather than what is created. Especially as the economy fails you realize people were only spending money on art when the economy is "good" (the economy has really been dumping hard at least the past 8 years). "Art appreciation" is actually very superficial. Most "big art grants" are low iq artist money recirculation for the woksies echo chamber to make them - feel - like *real* artists.

Your view of Korea and Japan are not based on reality. There are some great people in Japan but the discipline that makes the excellence possible comes at a high cost to all involved and is only a reality today because a huge cultural shift instituted by the government to become competitive with the Western powers. They have been able to maintain a relentless drive for about a hundred years but the youth are not seeing the reward for their efforts and reverting to the norms of previous generations. Japan has the NEET and hikkomori problem and Korea faces one of the highest suicide rates and college grads that aren’t able to get employment until they hit 30. It’s not pretty. Japanese has three alphabets and I think there may be a fourth depending how you define it.

Anytime he comes in the room and starts yammering ask him “don’t you have a truck payment to make somewhere?”
Yeah that's actually pretty typical, people who are incredibly stupid tend to think they're incredibly competent and skilled in a variety of area's that they have no personal experience in, where people who are more intelligent will actually be more likely to be less confident, until they start becoming a mega expert on the topic, then confidence typically rebounds a bit.
But yeah stupid people think they're genius's and genius's tend to think they're kind of stupid.

How to survive being a smart person in an average world?
Don't drink too much and avoid anything stronger than booze.
Don't marry if you are a man (you'll become a philosopher!). DEFINITELY marry if you are a woman.
Don't try to buy happiness--spend less than you earn (Excellent advice regardless of IQ).
Strive to find employment that utilizes your mind--you need to work that brain or it will END you.
Seek out like-minded individuals...I can't stress this enough. You're smart, so appreciate ANYONE you can relate to who reciprocates.
Be stoic...you are ahead of the curve, and you WILL be hated on. It is what it is.
Sincere best wishes to all who have this Gift of The Universe, cleverly disguised as a curse.
Great advice...and one uncomfortable truth that few will point out is that stupid people breed faster than smarter people. So generationally, we get more stupid people which is why that movie Idiocracy seems more like a documentary.
Best job I had was being a progressive steel die press operator. I didn't have to talk to anyone. I just operated the machine for 12 hours a day, six days a week. It paid great, too. I don't need to think at work. I can think at home when I read and create.
"Seek out like-minded individual"
"Don't drink too much" - already fucked that one up lol
Buying happiness is like being addicted to a drug. No matter how much you keep paying for it, it doesn't satiate your boredom. Rather pursue personal contentment and save your $$$.

I read somewhere that the smartest man in America has an IQ score of 210. Evidently he works as a bartender/bouncer. I guess he is smart enough to just walk away from it all and watch from the sidelines.
Most tests don't go beyond claiming 160. I'm getting a mild impression some tests are scaling that back to 145, due to uncertainty about numerical values, and even how to properly test for that high. My criticism of this 210 guy would be the same as Marilyn vos Savant. She supposedly scored 228 on a test that maxes out at 180 (if I recall correctly). That's like stepping on a scale and it says 3000 lbs. If you're not an elephant, there's a problem with your measuring device. In general, any claim to have an IQ above 160 is dubious, on the grounds of our inability to reliably measure that high.

Tests break at 140 even the ones that measure beyond that offer disclaimers... 140 is official mark for genius because 130 @ 2 deviations is enough to find what level of "exceptional" the world looks for. Much higher than 95th percentile you are too much an exception to function as a drone even a high level one...
Contrary to popular belief, stupid is NOT the opposite of smart. Dumb is the opposite of smart. Stupidity, however, is a moral failure and not an intellectual one. Stupidity is a lack of both self control and principles.

The best way to engage with humanity's greatest minds and ideas is to read. More deliberate thought and innovative inspiration goes into even a marginally stimulating book than any TED talk or podcast ever recorded. Many of the greatest minds in history, who found no peers in their own place and time, turned to reading and writing in search od solace. Once you've read enough to find those minds that challenge your own, you'll either find your peace of mind or know what you want to write. At least, that's how it's worked out for me.
If you want a recommendation as to what to read first, Bukowski is a pretty good bet for anyone in this vicinity. Other than that, all those classic books that everyone has heard of will give you plenty to think about even if you disagree with everything in them. Beyond that, I can while heartedly endorse my own books (Welcome To The Divide and Vitruvia 144) with shameless bias, while mentioning that great writing doesn't pay, and those that awe us today were dismissed in their own eras.

The problem with Asia is you cannot easily acquire citizenships there.
That said, acquiring Japanese citizenship is quite realistic.
5 years continually staying there and a few other requirements.
The language skills they require to pass you are quite modest.
You need to be able to write like a 2nd grader in Elementary School.
I believe it's somewhat realistic to become Korean as well.
However, as a general rule, Asia is not very welcoming of new citizens.
Latin-America is much better for naturalizing.
In a place like Uruguay or Argentina, most people are white anyway, so you won't stick out.
I lived for 5 yrs in Japan and there's absolutely no problem being white there.
But as someone who is fluent in Japanese, I don't always enjoy strangers talking about me while next to me.
It's not really a problem, but it does impede a little.
You do get occasional reminders that make you feel "I am not of this place".
Meanwhile in a place like Uruguay you'd just slide in entirely after 5-10 years I would imagine.
And Spanish is approximately 3 times easier than Japanese in my estimation.
So, my reality is that I could move to Japan now and stay 5 yrs, seek to naturalize.
But I am not paying their insane socialist taxes. Probably 40%, maybe 30% if i go crazy with all the deductions.
You basically get an insane tax rate, and then hopefully deductions bring it to a sane level.
Japan's service level is dropping bit by bit given the influx of non-Japanese 7-11 workers and the like.
It's not a big deal, and I don't think Japanese service culture is really at risk quite yet...
But in 20 years, I don't know if it will still be quite the same. Still, it will probably remain way better than anything we're used to as Westerners.
And if a particular restaurant doesn't provide great service, just visit another one.

I think 130 is accurate.

Although two people of the first type are gonna be a disaster in teamwork
Depends where you are. You need to have a data tester that actually collates the data and correlates it. MENSA is one that sticks out. I never have done an IQ before (at age 35) but this year due to heavy depression and reading about autism (very high chance) I did the UK Mensa home test while on anti depressants, poor diet and limited brain activity due to the environment,stress, etc and scored 131. All it did was show me that autism + high IQ = a given for depression.
I took an online IQ test. Don't remember which one but scored over 150. I know for damned sure I ain't that smart, so I had to question the test. I think what helped is I used to like to do those "Logic Puzzles", such as the magazines that Dell publishes A lot of IQ test questions are similar to the puzzles in those magazines, so if you want to rack up an impressive score on an IQ test, practice with those, but it won't mean you are a super genius. It just means you're good at taking tests.
@@RRaquello once you do one test - you can really cheese a lot of them online. They shouldn’t be one type of shape question. Example: the Mensa home test had questions on shapes/patterns, numerical question, word association and similarities. Plus you’re given 40 minutes to do the test. For Mensa (doesn’t matter what country) if you score 132 (even at 131 there are exceptions) you are classed in the top 2%. I haven’t taken the supervised test - they did email me and ask me to do it as my home score was high but reason for it was for the depression aspect. Maximum for Mensa is 162 but if you are getting near those figures it’s either savant like qualities or extreme autism e.g playing the piano by ear with no lessons or advice.
@@Jonathan-Shadow I've never taken the Mensa test but the type of questions you mention I've done very well on in the past. A lot of it comes down to process of elimination (on multiple choice questions) and then making a good guess. A good guess isn't just luck, but luck does play a part in it. Usually on multiple choice questions of that type, you can quickly eliminate two of the choices and then even if it's a pure guess you'll guess half of them right which will still give you an above average score since you're guessing 1 out of 2 instead of 1 out of 4 like most people.
Then a bunch of the questions you'll get right just because you figure it out, and others will be "educated" guesses where you have an idea which is the right answer, but you aren't quite sure. Maybe 75% of those you get right. Suddenly you're scoring in the genius range, but I wonder if what's genius on a test is genius in the real world. Can someone who figures out a difficult numerical pattern figure out why the carburetor on his car isn't sending the right fuel mixture to the cylinders? How applicable is being able to figure out puzzles in an IQ test to being able to figure out the puzzles you face in your life?

I've scored pretty high on IQ tests, including one that was administered by a professional when I was in school, so not just an internet test. I don't know if that means I'm smart or just good at taking tests and making good guesses. However unlike a lot of high IQ test scorers, I almost never find myself bored, even though I never worked a mentally challenging job. I think maybe because I grew up in a blue collar family and stayed in that when I got my own jobs, so most of the jobs were physical labor that kept you busy, as opposed to desk work where, when you finished quickly because of your higher intelligence, you just sit there. There's always something you can think of to keep your mind occupied. Even surrounded by a bunch of dummies as I was much of my working career, I could usually get amusement out of their silly antics and sophomoric ratiocination. I think what may be missing in these super-smart people is a sense of humor. The world really is a clown show and what do you do with clowns? You laugh at them.
I think the few times I really get bored is when I'm in a social situation and the people I'm with are nattering endlessly on about trivia like movies/TV, clothes or favorite foods and restaurants, which are about the three most boring topics of conversation in existence. Then when I'm faced with that, I just leave--either the room or I go home.

The readings change based on context so it’s basically a 3rd hyper specific complicated character alphabet with some pictographic meaning 26:30 one of my best friends is BPD and Schizophrenic, knows it’s a problem and constantly works on it. Good relationship with extended family and always keeping head up even when the conditions get bad. Not stupid but does not function in the standard structure.
Go to school for a physics degree is a great idea!! It will definitely help you utilize your intelligence and learn more about the physical world. Plus if you like solving problems you are in for a real treat😁😎!! Physics and math (there is a lot of math in a physics degree) is all problem solving.
Calc 4 is the best calculus. Change my mind🤔
They shouldn't.
Sooo, the only thing you would accomplish by moving to East Asia is being with people who value academic achievement and other striving behaviours.
However, they are NOT a bunch of super geniuses. I have dealt with them extensively.

I am in the 'medical field' as an economist / actuarial / revenue cycle analyst - the COVFEFE for me was great - it was a poon doggle for the medical field - license to print money ... and cheer up - big Round 2 is coming.

I am getting a PhD after three masters degrees. I am happy writing controversial technical academic papers. Red Team papers get lots of attention.

I’ve been buying old manga and old comics and anime. All these new games are cookie cutter baby faced cringe lords trying to be edgy but are too obvious about how lame they are.

Maybe he can use his superior intelligence to go through all the scholarly material and decide for himself whether religion is true, or if the stupid masses are correct in believing in only what they see.
Your view of Korea and Japan are not based on reality. There are some great people in Japan but the discipline that makes the excellence possible comes at a high cost to all involved and is only a reality today because a huge cultural shift instituted by the government to become competitive with the Western powers. They have been able to maintain a relentless drive for about a hundred years but the youth are not seeing the reward for their efforts and reverting to the norms of previous generations. Japan has the NEET and hikkomori problem and Korea faces one of the highest suicide rates and college grads that aren’t able to get employment until they hit 30. It’s not pretty.
Japanese has three alphabets and I think there may be a fourth depending how you define it.
