intelligence is a tool? idk about this metaphor. in other words, "use it or lose it?"
lol

It is as though you are saying every person with high IQ are successful. You know that can't be true as much as every car is blue.

i'm not dealing in absolutes. just stating general tendencies or aggregates. of course, i don't think IQ is that important, but it is a measure of something, right?

i mean, that's a cope, right? something you tell yourself to minimize the impact of a thing upon your emotional being.

What cope? It applies to the second best off group too, Poly ticks people.

the cope is that you already know the hierarchy of "having the most successful life" and have a group at top tier that apparently doesn't rely on IQ. in other words, "brains (or the representation of what IQ is) really doesn't matter." looks like a cope to me.

Anytime someone questions IQ with relation to success you call it a cope, now you're saying IQ is "not that important". Which is it? And yes it's a measure of something, obviously. But it doesn't necessarily translate to success. Other factors are relevant.

imagine im having private convos with people and you don't know what im saying to them. that way you aren't distracted by a need for equanimity from apparent consistency.

It is measure of "something," however, it is rendered useless if the person with a high IQ does nothing with it; thus, for my comment: "A high IQ means nothing; I'm sure there are tons of "losers" with high IQ. It's like dying from thirst while there's a glass of water right in front of you but you're just too lazy to grab it."

that's a total cope. use value of IQ is highly dubious. even you admit to this.

That's great bro! But I can't help but remember this quotation from Stephen Hawking, "I have no idea. People who boast about their IQ are losers."

No brag for me. I only knew it because I had to take a pair to get into my schools advanced education program. I still take them every once and awhile to make sure the old gray matter isn't turning to pudding.

Also, that class was REALLY boring. Lots of abstract thinking papers, logic puzzles, and for some reason tests with nothing learned in school.

I was glad to get out of it. I learned more getting in-school suspension so I could knock everything out in an hour then raid the library for stuff I wanted to learn. Shane they figured out it wasn't a punishment. I became unpunishable

But common sense is a way better thing to have. Real shame that is a trait that is dying, isn't it?

I can imagine I'm talking to a weasel who doesn't stick to a topic when I pin him down on it. Which is what you are.

I'm just saying the top of the crop. Engineers are high up, but still usually upper middle class.

I'm just surprised Stephen Hawking would use the world "losers" like that. I've always thought of people who say that about others as needing to evolve a little, even if you're joking.

No you're not honest. You never are. That's why I avoid dealing with you.

Aren't there like 7 different intellgiences? Like art, kinetic, etc? You may not be "smart" but you may have knowledge in other areas that you're good at.

i'm always dead honest. maybe you don't like dealing with me because once your sarcasm fails, you got nothing else?

Exactly. I haven't been sarcastic at all. Nor has anyone challenging you. But this is how you are. For the record.
