Most people are very simple and never give serious thought to politics, history or the meaning of life. Try discussing these topics with most people and they zone out or brush it off.
Thing is, regardless of IQ what you just described is how your average random person feels. Basically everyone who is or isn't brilliant basically considers themselves to be brilliant.
My brain (168, last time I was tested) makes leaps of logic that others don't follow well. For instance, my SO will say, "Did you get peanut butter at the store?"
My brain:
Peanut butter
Store
Saw someone we know there.
That person spoke to me about a family matter.
Me, 30 seconds later: "Did you know Mike is getting a divorce?"
My SO: blank stare
This happens all the time, every day, no matter who I'm talking to or what the subject is. Now, I've never been test for ADD or anything, so maybe it's that, but that's just my experience.
That's just how brains work. Or my brain works similarly, but I'm sure that everyone's brains are constantly making connections even without us knowing
It’s not add look into neuroptimal neurofeedback it helps with staying on track. All that mental busyness is a waste of energy. Get some blank space in your consciousness it helps when you want to move things around.
I don't think that's true. With a high enough IQ and the drive to make a difference, you know there's a very real possibility of changing the world for the better. Maybe there is a range above 100 where your statement is true, but I think once you exceed that range, a "realistic optimist" is more likely.
It isn't that we struggle with normal conversation/customs... It's that we find them to be a very predictable, monotonous waste of time in most situations. Life is finite, and so for us to use our "gifts" as effectively as possible, we have to use time more wisely and minimize distractions. That's not to say that we don't enjoy others' company. There is definitely a time and place for talking and socializing, and some of the best knowledge and ideas come from it. We just tend to be more selective with the time, place, and people.
With that said, I'm definitely a bit of a hermit so you're right about that. I blame the wu flu and all this other bullshit going on though. I would be out and about socializing more if I could, but it would still be very selective, as mentioned above.
He might have a high IQ but his tweets that get posted are a bit on the smoothbrain side. He's right of course.
it's not clear to me why someone with an abnormally high IQ would struggle to associate with normal people assuming they aren't autistic
why wouldn't it be easier? doesn't the high IQ indicate their ability to learn and adapt to "normal conversation or customs" would be outstanding!?
175+ IQ here and i like turtles

You see additional substructure which isn’t available to others and that naturally leads to “impedance mismatches”.
I like that analogy.

Have you ever tried to interact with city folk?
The higher your IQ, the more likely you are to be a pessimist which makes sense.

I think what I was getting at is that his perspective is regular and mostly common sense we hear from average everyday Pede's.
His tweets aren't as enlightening, should I say, as others from people I have bookmarked (with presumably much lower IQ's.)
In any case, truly wise people probably want you to think they're not.
if everyone underestimates you, you don't have to put in any effort to beat/use them.
