Help I need advice figuring out why I am very smart :marseybigbrain: (133+ IQ) but still keep being a real life r-slur.

https://psycho-tests.com/test/raven-matrixes-test

I took this IQ test for the first time and found out that my IQ is 133. I am supposed to be very high IQ and above 95 percentile in terms of IQ based on the test, and in the very high IQ category.

Yet somehow in my personal life, I display the practical intelligence and survival skills of a complete r-slur and have done nothing noteworthy or even survival worthy in my life.

I would like your help figuring out how come if I am such a gigagenius unironically, then why am I such an r-slur in real life?

:#marseyidiotsavant:

Am I simply so smart that it makes it impossible for me to survive in a society made by IQlets for IQlets? Or is it that I am wasting my intelligence away by not using it correctly? Or is it that all IQ tests are wrong? Or maybe intelligence really doesn't matter after 90 IQ and after that it is all about the connections that you have?

Discuss. Help me find the final solution to my limitations. Good luck.

literally wrong. I checked out less wrong and most of my posts and seriousposts match up with the thoughts of the highest quality writers on that site.

Less wrong is unironically good as it takes high level concepts and breaks them down to the most simplistic easy to comprehend language possible.

They are the closest thing to influencer-scientists in the writing field which helps make high tier knowledge more accessible to the general public.

There is no point being the smartest person on the planet if you are too neurodivergent to explain your idea to the public.

I disagree. Slatestarcodex far better fits your description than less wrong. Less wrong has the feeling of normies trying to reach up or those above trying to reach normies. Slatestarcodex has the feeling of more high tier complex less wrong but everybody in the comments is halfway to smelling their own farts.

( Sniffing own farts - being high handed with a superiority complex acting more important than everybody else or something along those lines. )

...rationalism, being the denial of every principle superior to reason, brings with it as a "practical" consequence the exclusive use of reason, but of rea­son blinded, so to speak, by the very fact that it has been isolated from the pure and transcendent intellect, of which, normally and legitimately, it can only reflect the light in the individual domain. As soon as it has lost all effective communication with the supra-individual intellect, reason cannot but tend more and more toward the lowest level, toward the inferior pole of existence, plunging ever more deeply into "materiality"; as this tendency grows, it gradually loses hold of the very idea of truth, and arrives at the point of seek­ing no goal other than that of making things as easy as possible for its own limited comprehension, and in this it finds an immediate satisfaction in the very fact that its own downward tendency leads it in the direction of the simplification and uniformization of all things; it submits all the more readily and speedily to this tendency because the results of this submission conform to its desires, and its ever more rapid descent cannot fail to lead at last to what has been called the "reign of quantity".

its a terribly useless criticism of rationality.

A far better criticism of rationality exists in the fact that humans are a product of evolution and all of our instincts are not rational/ efficiency maximizing oriented, but rather sometimes we feel good when we do useless or even counterproductive things.

In that sense a pure rationalism of utilitarianism fails to be useful to the people after a point due to the fact that reason disconnected from human instinct and behavioral tendencies is a reason made for inhumans and thus useless to the people at large.

Society is by its nature a struggle to encourage the reproduction and development of those whose traits are beneficial to people at large while making reproduction and development harder for the worst traits currently existent in a society.

A pure rationality solves frick all because it gives answers that an irrational via evolutionary tendencies society simply cannot implement and successfully exist happily or content.

Man doesn't want maximum utility. Man desires the maximum satisfaction of his urges without negatively suffered consequences. To a point increasing utility helps with this, but after a certain point it does not as after a certain point utility returns can only be increased by forcing man to do things that are out of sync with his instincts and desire.

I disagree. Less wrong is a combination of posts across decades studying different concepts of how things might be.

Have you checked their official site or only get the links from the redditors who follow less wrong?
