Is there any blackpill more brutal than IQ? Some barely pubescent kid is already doing his PhD while you wasted your life studying for mediocre grades.

>>82076842 (OP)
IQ isn't a flat measure of intelligence. Think of it as more like a measurement of your brain's clock speed. Low IQ will be dumber on average, but that doesn't mean a 200 IQ "genius" is immune from acting like a retard. It just means he can be retarded faster.

>You still need to study
About 1/50 as hard as dipshit OP does.

>high IQ isn't a superpower
Comparatively speaking, yes it is. Have the kid in the picture take a college level physics exam, then take 100 (or as many as you want) regular dickwipe thirteen year olds from public school and give them the same exam. Hell, it can be open book + open internet for the public school flunkies, it won't matter.

In 2025 an average 13 year old American kid just started learning percentages. They will be so utterly blown away it would be as sad as them trying to play defense on a 6'8" basketball player. Genetics are 99.9% of life, all the "studying hard" in the world is meaningless in the face of a gap of 50 IQ points or two feet in height.

What do you think the kids in the IMO team do? Just magically acquire knowledge from being smart? They study all day long every day of the year. They wake up, study, eat, sleep, and repeat. Are they talented? Of course they are; they are brilliant, but that doesn't mean they don't have to spend 12+ hours studying every day.

>You still need to study, high IQ isn't a superpower
It really is though when paired with the right personality.
It sounds brutally simple and retarded, but savants are savants because they wanted to learn their craft, and had the intelligence to absorb it quickly.

I used to watch these documentaries about child geniuses 10-15 years ago
a few years ago i looked all of them and literally none of them accomplished anything noteworthy, most just became wagecucks at corporations and are obviously incels based on appearance

child genius is one of the worst life paths

>>82076842 (OP)
I hope he succeeds in life. I entered university at 16 but had a mental breakdown and was sent to the crazy house, and I wasn't nearly as smart as this kid. Unfortunately he'll probably become a faceless code monkey or slave to a corporation run by psychopaths. One of these wunderkind appears every few years, some India kid with an IQ of 200 or a white boy finishing college at 15, but they always disappear immediately and are never spoken of again once they are chewed up and exploited.

>>82076842 (OP)
IQ is pretty fucking brutal, but not in the way you think, I'd rather go down to 120 than up to 150. Under 100 and it gets really fucking brutal.

Eh, I don't care all that much about IQ or intelligence because we're all going to be on about the same level in that regard in about 100 years. It'a good to have a high IQ, but it's not the end all be all. Traits like extroversion and not having fat genes or addiction genes or cancer genes or schizo genes are just as if not more important. I've seen so many high IQ people throw their lives away and suffer tramendiously. Therapists and religion don't work on them. They're often powerful, but what good is power if you can't use it to get the things you want in life and you even let it enable your drug addictions or video game addictions because you don't like anything else and society hates you and you hate it?

Usually high IQ people live better lives. But so do good looking people and friendly people and rich people and good parented people and strong immune system people and good sleepers and good eaters and good exercisers and genetically happier people. IQ is important, but it's not everything. Further, IQ doesn't directly measure things like long-term memory, so it's not a perfect measure of intelligence, but it's close enough to at least see the effects of intelligence.

He'll end up with Gifted Child Burnout and sink into a major depression and start drinking or doing drugs heavily just like most of them.

>>82078346
I wouldn't be surprised if graduate school wears them out. It's already brutal as an adult but for a kid it's probably miserable.
>Teaching Assistantship
If the school even lets you do it your students won't respect you
>Research Assistantship
You know you're only being funded because you're a novelty and they will abuse that novelty even more than when you were an undergrad
>Grants, funding, and conferences
Entirely oriented around you being a freak. There will be few people willing to engage with you as an equal and on the subject your studying. It's doubtful they'd even bother with having you do more than sign on a dotted line for grants your PI is signing onto.
>Workload
Very different from undergrad. You do still take classes but the huge focus is on your research and that is an entirely different set of skills than just having the ability to read fast and remember. This brutalizes a lot of people who did well in undergrad.
>Post-Doc
No shot any post-doc position will hire an under-18

It probably is just exhausting being treated like a circus freak show act. You just want to learn and study so you can begin your wanted goal of academia but no one actually respects you or your work because of your age. Many of the fine skills such as grant writing and teaching are out of reach for you and everyone post-degree will assume you only got to the level you did due to your freak status rather than merit even if you were legit.

IQ is a blackpill, but not how you are thinking.
Women DO NOT LIKE smart, high IQ, men. Maybe they like the money that a big brain job might bring, but they don't like smart men. Women ego needs to be the smartest one in the relationship, they need a simple man who is easily manipulated and tricked with their verbal spells. Look up some stats, high IQ men are more alone than the normals, and WAY more alone than the dummies.

>>82080113
Yeah my comment was going to be in these situations where a kid is in college in his early teens it's almost certainly because his parents brute forced or paid for his grades through some ultra accelerated learning programs that didn't actually teach him shit but looks good enough for a college to let him in.

IQ means nothing if you don't have a well off family. 130 IQ (taken while inebriated), and I can't accomplish my goals in college or financially due to inheriting nothing but debt, bills, and a shitbox car before the age of 21. all of this aside, being this intelligent has permanently blackpilled my outlook on life at that.

I think I literally had this kid in a class of mine, I was at the U of M from 2018 to 2022. I was like why is there a fucking 12 year old here with us. Oh well, he will probably kill himself or end up here with the rest of us due to missed social milestones from accelerating beyond his peers. Sad

>>82076842 (OP)
Man who cares? The easiest way to be successful is be connected, followed by be attractive. I'm not even sure if IQ beats pure luck to be honest. A retard can luck into a fortune by being at the right place at the right time (see OnlyFans) while a super genius is a friendless loser trying to make ends meet. How many great inventors died poor and alone? How many retarded trustfund babies die in a mansion that an emperor would be jealous of surrounded by friends and family?

Have you ever taken a look around and seen how many high IQ burnouts there are.

>thread filled with cope
Not even an IQ supremacist will claim that intelligence is the only important marker in one's life, but for people in this thread to deny or even claim that its detrimental is being contrarian. You should think of IQ as a lubricant that cuts down on the friction(stress) that comes with solving problems. You have more autonomy(ease of learning-->skills-->income), plasuibly more self respect (this could be false), and can realistically restart since your understanding of the world comes from pattern recognition and logical assertions instead of from textbooks. You aren't trapped in the sense of being some 100 iq wagie is trapped.
Again, IQ isn't God. Your health comes from making use of various functions (physical, emotional, etc), but people need to stop denying reality.

>>82076842 (OP)
Yeah, but didn't have a healthy childhood, so.

>>82080431
You do know that shit would be far worse if your situation was flipped right? Let's say you have an iq of 85 and college is kicking your teeth in because you suck. You're failing classes and you desperately need to fix your situation as to not be the family fuck up. You come from a well off family so it can be presumed that your parents are completely stupid and can hold down respectable positions. You are now a stain to your entire family and although they bail your ass out from your own incompetancy, you can't help, but feel pathetic. You'll likely feel just as blackpilled for while you get to coast from your parent's money you can't hold down any decent paying job and are known as a nepo baby retard. Fuck, they may even be in this thread at this very moment wishing that only if* they were a tad bit smarter than they could have used it with their family's wealth and actually made an impact.
>btw before you say that idiots wouldn't know since they're too dumb self reflection isn't necessarily reserved for intelligent people. Even a dumbass can see that they themselves are the reason why nothing gets better.

>>82076842 (OP)
Yes yes, the world is unfair and innate skills are even more.
What do you want the kid to do?
Smoke meth and drink like a sailor till his brain is as rotten and useless as yours and mine?
The real tragedy here is how early this kid is going to be brainwashed by the liberal college types, without any chance at forming his own opinions.
The way I see it he'll either become a moronic leftie and fully dedicate himself to the academia doctrine, or he'll eventually realize what was done to him, do a complete one-eighty and shoot up a campus or do a Kaczinsky.

>>82081797
>You do know that shit would be far worse if your situation was flipped right?
this holds the implication that not only would my family be well off enough to send me to college in the first place, but that I would be next in line in a family that at least has considerable net worth, and that almost certainly based off the last two assumptions, I would have enough for basic expenses and cost-of-living prior. I am in this position because I have no other choice for a better future. it's not enough that I have the pressure of being 'the smart one' of the family, on top of working myself to the bone to maintain my financial responsibilities, to further maintain my poverty stricken living status. it's not enough, because my family actively asks of me for financial help WHILE all of this is the case. I work full-time and don't make enough money to cover all bases, all while not having enough time to take care of myself. they know I'm competely independent in my struggles, and cannot offer a single cent towards my education, but they justify it all no matter how egregious by: "he'll figure it out, he's the smart one". royally fuck you for thinking that the flipside would be any worse, I'll guaranteed die an early death because of this bullshit.

>>82081940
As will I, yours from overworking and mine by suicide. I'm tired

>>82081983
your situation is much more viably fixable through multiple means, including taking an alternate path. IQ is not a static value and don't let anyone blackpill you on that. it can change with work and improved study habits both inside and outside of your field. if you have the disposable income as well, set aside money to consider trade school in an adjacent field or try community college in order not to waste time/money/credit attempts. even better, some of these CC's double as places to get certain fast-track certifications and trades.

>>82082028
to compound on top of this I forgot to mention your story is a dime-a-dozen. my undergrad bio teacher told us the story of how her brother who was in the same shoes, eventually went on to say fuck college altogether and ended up co-creating the AS show Aqua Teen Hunger Force. he makes much more money than her nowadays.

>>82082028
Listen, I'm likely older than you and I only mention intelligence as it stands out as an undeniable influence, but I'm aware of the alternatives, but as I said before I am tired. I've failed numerous part time jobs, ruined friendships, and condemned my life. My parents speak to me like an infant. I am taking classes again at a community college, but I really don't see the point. Im not interested in my own story anymore. Im sorry about what I said earlier. It was projection and of course can't relate to financial diffculties. I really am just no good and I want to go. Hell, it may even be *just for a sick parasite like myself to do myself in.

My dad told me the reason he didn't let me skip any grades is because nobody wants to be the shortest dude at prom. Also basically why you shouldn't just test out of high school in a state with low standards for a G.E.D. This kid's got an extreme version of that. More power to him if he manages to live better than the average person, but this board isn't the place to be selling me on the idea that missing out on social ritual isn't damaging.

I'm not the person you are talking with but it sounds like you need God. especially when you said you're not good and want to go, with the next sentence starting with Hell.
I don't want you to go to hell. I never met you but I want you to be a good person and avoid hell. And I think finding God is your path to that.

Those kinderwoods are not normal. Every few years I hear a story of someone graduating a college at super young age. Then I try to track history of such people - BOOM! They disappear! Dissolve. Either end up broken or work on some mediocre position in research. None of them achieved anything really noticeable, besides their early degree.

I would much rather be a gifted artist or athlete than some nerd who's really good at math or whatever.

My parents were pretty hands off with me. And because of that, I'm pretty distant from my parents. They were fine parents. Nothing bad really ever happened. But they certainly did not raise me in a way that made me feel securely attached to them. So with an extremely high iq, I have found a honed a hobby that has become my life. I'm a masturbator. I jack off a lot. The love of my life, is sexual pleasure and orgasms.

Even if that's not true, fitting in socially is vastly more important than IQ for general success in society, after all.

I, a humble retard, offer to be friends with you. In all seriousness, you probably reject someone's friendship request because you just think everyone around the world is intellectually inferior to you. Lucky enough, I'm closed with that certain people because I have the power of understanding disable/mentally ill (read:neurodivergent) people because I'm also retarded.

More like connections and luck. Society doesn't reward competency.

>I, a humble retard, offer to be friends with you. In all seriousness, you probably reject someone's friendship request because you just think everyone around the world is intellectually inferior to you.
That's completely natural. Just like any normalfag would reject someone who is intellectually deficient purely because they can't actually form a common pool of meaning and understanding. It doesn't matter if you don't care about status or intelligence in general if you can't actually relate to the other person; how do you form a friendship if that's the case? (No, I'm not implying that the average individual is a retard compared to individuals of outlier high IQ - normalcy and fitting in are supreme. Both the retard and the freakishly intelligent person are the weirdos in this case.)
Two standard deviations in IQ are enough to render free and unbound communication almost impossible between two different individuals, rendering the one with the higher IQ into a sort of a mentor's or a teacher role in the dynamic. An average individual of 100 IQ communicating with someone that has an IQ of 70 is an outright Of Mice and Men scenario. The same dynamic applies to higher IQ individuals as well. The smarter person always has to dumb themselves down and can never gain any rapport from the other side as to what they're actually thinking and feeling, because the subjects are too complex and underlined by axioms the other party just can't comprehend.

Not him but Feynman had 120 IQ or so. Which is not midwit but 4chan thinks it is.
I don't agree that some great physicist were midwits, you got to have some intelligence for that, but you also don't need to have 180 IQ or have solved a conjecture when you're 10 years old to be great.
Also, not a physicist but look up Stefan Banach. Great example of what I said.

>his dream of becoming a professor
What kind of shitty dream is that. Not working at a company making spaceships or fusion reactors, or even just being an actual researcher, but a professor. That's what people with PhDs do when they fail at applying their actual field.

>>82086229
Banach had the benefit of working alongside the other Scottish Book contributors.

>>82086229
Feynman's IQ claim of 124 is genuine bullshit, i.e. his actual intelligence did not at all match what you would expect of someone who scores 124 on an IQ test. He either fucked around on the test or had some other external or internal reason for why he could not get a higher score.
He took one IQ test in high school, but then at the same time had the kind of academic and scientific success more representative of someone far, far above that.
You can search the world over, take all the 125 IQ individuals, put them up against Feynman in any kind of intellectually rigorous test or competition, and none of them will manage to match him.
>Which is not midwit but 4chan thinks it is.
It absolutely is a midwit score. Midwits are the place where individuals are smart enough to succeed in society and trick themselves into believing whatever bullshit is beneficial to them, but they're not smart enough to actually question narratives, their own beliefs, their ego-driven behaviors and biases and start approaching any kind of genuinely truthful understandings.

Every year we get a story like this.

>OMG 13 YR OLD IS GRADUATING COLLEGE WITH A PHD!!!!! IQ 200!!!!!

And then we hear literally nothing from any of them. They amount to literally nothing beyond the average phd. They contribute the same.

>how do you form a friendship if that's the case?
Have you ever heard a thing called "LOVE"? You treat IQ as the only factor in human connection meanwhile empathy plays a role too. Same with emotional intelligence, shared experience, values, humor, kindness etc.

>>82077049
College girls literally only want Chad fratboys and will rarely go for anyone else.

Back then things were more evened out. But nowadays literally only the top 10% of dudes get all the women while everyone else starves.

>>82086402
>You treat IQ as the only factor in human connection meanwhile empathy plays a role too
Of course it does, but empathy in a relationship between two highly unequally intelligent individuals will only drive the more intelligent one into acting as a mentor for the less intelligent one. It will only drive them away from forming a genuine friendship, as the two both understand the other's entirely different capabilities and experiences to a degree, where they recognize they will not have a freely flowing and enjoyably easy interpersonal relationship. And this is entirely neglecting the fact that the two will fundamentally be entirely different types of people, who most likely will just not feel like being friends with each other. People form friendships based on relatability and benefits gained on both sides and that's not what would happen in this scenario.
>Same with emotional intelligence, shared experience, values, humor, kindness etc.
Naturally, but the problem at hand is that all of these will be different between the two individuals as I already pointed out. The two individuals will be different to such a significant degree that they will not have a shared pool of meaning upon which to connect to one another.

>>82076948
Yeah this is pretty potent demoralization bait, people claiming that high IQ people don't have to "try", trying is required in every walk of life, living and breathing alone demands a minimal amount of effort, I fell for this as a high IQ gifted kid myself and let myself get crestfallen over the fact that I actually had to apply myself a little to take advantage of my brainpower, please don't fall for this like I did

>their ego-driven behaviors
Oh you mean like every successful attitude known to man, yeah that's something you definitely want to spend a significant amount of time questioning

>>82086378
Dipshit take, it sounds like you got a high IQ score on a fluke and it doesn't match up to your normal level of incompetence, 124 is plenty, Garry Kasparov scored a 123 and is still incredibly accomplished

>>82085535
Mine are comparable except verbal is 145-160 and full scale is 140-155

>>82088080
>Oh you mean like every successful attitude known to man, yeah that's something you definitely want to spend a significant amount of time questioning
It's not a question of values, benefit or morality. It's a question of intelligence. Intelligence taken to a high enough degree is maladaptive, since the individual is no longer driven by base instincts and is more than capable of questioning the ego-driven behaviors that keep the masses of normalfags maintaining society and breeding along.

>"IQ is not a static value"
>"it can change"
if you weren't talking about IQ changing, then you really need to work on your writing skills instead of accusing people of being retarded for thinking you mean what you write.

>wealth has a much higher influence in this wrold
it literally doesn't, at least not on outcome (as a starting condition at birth), and a cherry picked example doesn't prove shit. Ceteris paribus, it's better to be born in the 1% of intelligence than in the 1% of wealth, also because just the 1% isn't even that rich on average.
I've seen people with hundreds of times the net worth of musk's dad having sons that end up as complete failures, or just never getting to where musk is.
he got insanely lucky despite not being that bright.

The issue with prodigies is that nowadays the STEM fields have so much information and complexity to them that the ceiling isn't moving much and eventually other peers catch up knowledge wise.

>>82089789
Also if we get to AGI, the gap will be closed between super high IQ and like 120~ you'll still need to be smart enough to utilize AI, which the average person cannot, because they lack the ability to question things properly. As long as you have the ability to properly question and plan then your AI with a 250iq will just be an extension of you.

I kinda feel bad for him. Some of those young geniuses crash really hard in life because they can't socialize with people their age and due to insane expectations. I hope he gets to live a good life. I hoe his parents let him live like a boy his age should and mature a bit, after he finishes his PhD. Even Dirac got his Nobel when he was 29, he doesn't need to rush

>>82088773
Duh it's just the level of intelligence needed to do this is not high and doesn't make you particularly introspective, stop acting as if it's some rare superpower to have the slightest amount of self-awareness

I never studied and breezed through school, the only subjects that eventually challenged me were Honors Chemistry and higher level math but with minimal effort I excelled at those as well, get rekt
