i think kids with the potential to be smart/educated who arent properly nurtured end up being more likely to have existensial crises, psychological issues, drug use problems, and boredom which increases their odds of doing criminal acts.

No, I just don't believe whatever these statistics imply and think they were gathered extra r-slurredly upon an already r-slurred premise.

Yes, when your world view is anchored in awareness of stats like "people in prison are surprisingly low IQ on average." The surprise isn't that they're low IQ; the surprise is the magnitude.
The idea that 20% of the prison population is actually smart doesn't strictly (mathematically) contradict that, but it would require a weird distribution of IQ among inmates.

Fair points which I have considered, butt Im also considering that many of that kids who get labeled as "gifted" by dumb elementary school guidance councilors arent actually gifted. I also believe that telling children that theyre smart/gifted (whether or not they actually are) instead of praising them for working hard and thinking creatively/constructively/out of the box. Telling a child who is smart that theyre getting good grades simply due to that is liable to make a lazy smart that rests on his laurels and coasts. Juxtaposed telling the dumb kod that he is smart and then the tests/real life problems show him to be dumb, he'll have an increased risk of an identity crisis. In either cases people eho are habitually lazy, and people with chronic identity crisises are more likely to commit crime. Also i think this is why that exerpt and perhaps the whole premisr might not be about actual IQ and simply about being labeled as gifted. Butt idk i didnt open the tweet or read the actual research
