  • DEAR NORMIES That’s not what intelligence does for you. Available intelligence v

    DEAR NORMIES

    That’s not what intelligence does for you.

    Available intelligence vs demonstrated intelligence. You can have it, you must be willing to and enjoy using it, and you must be wiling to and enjoy using it competitively, and using it competitively by working harder and longer than your peers.

    Intelligence is the rate at which you learn by identifying patterns of constant relations (opportunities) and inconstant relations (errors, falsehoods, costs)

    As IQ increases from todays ~105/106 – the point at which you can follow instructions, repair a machine, learn by reading (build a world model from written instructions instead of being instructed), the rate at which you can learn and detect errors increases (the scope of the world model you can construct from facts outside direct physical experience).

    About every seven points (half a standard deviation) we can distinguish differences in ability.

    At about every fifteen (one full difference) we have distinct advantages over one another. As we increase in that difference we have increasing difficulty talking to one another because our frames (world models) vary in complexity: meaning degrees of abstraction.

    At thirty points (two standard deviations) it is quite difficult to communicate to one another.

    95 is about the requirement for working in a medical office. By 85 you are all but untrainable. Below 85 even the military can’t find anything you can do without endangering others.

    So when a person believes he or she is intelligent and that intelligence doesn’t matter, he correctly identifies that for the scope of problems he is aware of, that if he is given time he will figure it out. For the 2/3 of people under the ‘average’ bell curve this is true.

    The problem is, y’all haven’t tried to teach anyone with a 80-90 iq to even flip a burger or reliably not break the equipment. And you have no experience with anything even vaguely difficult. Which is why you’re ‘average’, and struggle with these (relatively simple) concepts. And it’s why people like me found a dozen companies and solve the great problems of the age, and people like my current hero stephen wolfram solves the problem of mathematics of the age.

    In other words, you aren’t competent to get access to the people who run the world because your very presence makes everyone in the room dumber.

    There are rooms in this world I’m not competent to get access to because I lack interest in political and commercial power, compared to intellectual and wealth power.

    THe difference is that I could if I want have chosen that path. Average people can’t choose those paths. And they can’t even comprehend what the mind of people with much larger world models in mind, changing daily, adapting daily, think like or feel.

    The world above normals is purely empirical. We search for opportunities, and we have the power to act on them – because people trust us not to ‘break the machinery’.

    That’s what’s hard to grasp.

    I know how a bill gates, steve ballmer, steve jobs, the leadership at goldman sachs, the president and senate, any given general, and the top tenth of a percent of intellectuals in the world, see the world.

    It is not ‘unknowable’. It’s uncontrollable. Because it takes those very capable people to run the world, with all the technology and knowledge, institutions available to us.

    ===

    (FWIW: 106 is the sort of ‘minimum average iq’ for a democratic polity – which is why they’re failing. About 115 is the target, and I assume 120 would be the optimum possible.)

  • INDIVIDUAL AND GROUP DIFFERENCES Differences in: 1) Physical, Cognitive, Verbal,

    INDIVIDUAL AND GROUP DIFFERENCES

    Differences in:

    1) Physical, Cognitive, Verbal, ability – even differences in internal voice, and internal vision (about ten percent of the population lacks one or the other; or internal regulation (psychopathy vs sociopathy).

    2) The importance of Trait-IQ vs Trait-Conscientiousness is the only innovation in my entire adult lifetime, in that success and wealth is dependent upon Conscientiousness, and IQ grants access to increasingly complex subject matter and rapidity of changing information, and this is due not necessarily to innovation but to rapidity of ability to learn anything and the attendant error detection. This is why people are equally successful across the IQ spectrum if they possess conscientiousness and unequally successful if they possess IQ alone – although this results in higher IQ people maintaining a superior distribution throughout the population which may be necessary for error reduction throughout the spectrum of people.

    3) DIfferences between the two sexes are substantial, obvious, stereotypical, and the reasons are significant differences in brain structure and operation, with Lateral (whole-empathic-short-term vs Longitudinal (half-physical-long-term) producing extremely replicable results, the most common being the naxalt-vs-distribution perception, the priority of truth vs face/experience, the priority of physical vs experiential, the priority of empathic interpersonal vs systemic political. This is most visible at both the low end and high end where we see female psychological, social, and sexual expression of antisocial behavior and male physical and violent expression of antisocial behavior.,

    4) DIfference between moral intuitions: (masculine conservative capitalizing quality packs -vs- feminine consumptive, decapitalizing, quantity, herds) is rather obvious in the data, with the female herd strategy expressing all cognitive biases above and demonstrating near exclusive sensitivity to harm/care/proportionality, the libertarian or ascendant male demonstrating they also intuit demand for liberty and novelty, (finding the left parasitic and the right oppressive) and the conservative pack strategy demonstrating the entire spectrum equally, adding disgust/purity, loyalty/hierarchy. (Which is why conservatives and libertarians find leftists disgusting and disloyal)

    5) In Races, Subraces, Tribes, and Classes, (degree of notonic evolution and subsequent rate of sexual maturity, depth of sexual maturity, degree of emotional agency, and the resulting sexual market value, social market value, economic market value);

    6) Value to one another is demonstrated by the evidence. If you require others to pay for you by sacrifice of their consumption and reproduction then you are a burden on others. In small heterogenous polities due to kin preference and selection and due to limited political competition, and in genetically middle class societies, people are more redistributive.

    DON”T ASK OTHERS TO LIE

    So when you say ‘racist, sexist, ableist’ you are saying you want others to lie – the point here being you may not be cognitively able to tolerate the truth given the feminine construction of your brain, such that you cannot distinguish between the preferable and the true.

    PROBLEM ONE

    Why? For the female her offspring are expensive investments that she must fool herself into continuing to pay the cost of, and her offspring as largely incompetent must be encouraged to continue to persist their genes despite the continuous feedback that they are of lower sexual, social, economic, political, market value to others than their existence, consumption, and reproduction warrants.

    PROBLEM TWO

    Worse? Add dunning kruger incompetence to those who have lower intelligence, lower conscientiousness, and a more feminine cognition, and you get those people who disagree with anything I wrote here.

    SCIENCE: START WITH

    Sex Differences in the Brain: Simon Baron Cohen.

    Differences in Moral Intuition: Jonathan Haidt

    Group differences in Genetics: Robert Reich.

    And my reading list:

    propertarianism.com/reading-list/ http://propertarianism.com/reading-list/ covers the rest.

    Which will take a lifetime unless like me your intelligence is far above the normal threshold, your memory is far above the normal threshold, and you are wealthy enough to devote otherwise unreasonable amounts of time to research.

    No. “dogs are harmless” isn’t a stereotype.

    “People with observable properties X usually demonstrate observable properties Y is a stereotype.”

    Don’t believe me. Find the research. “Stereotypes are the most accurate measure in social science.” Hence postmodern HBD/Darwin denial.

    IT’S GENETIC. THAT’S THE SCIENCE. THE LEFTISTS SET OFF OUR DISGUST RESPONSE

    So they set off our disloyalty, disease, parasite, impurity, disgust, and perversion response? Right? Well. Then it’s easy: state the truth: “We don’t disagree with you so much as find you dishonest, disloyal, disgusting, and perverted. And we don’t want to live, socialize, work, or govern with you, or tolerate your presence among our families now or at any time in the future. So we can agree to separate and you can pay the costs of your perversions, and we profit from our avoidance of them, or we can go to war, and if we win we’ll make you compensate us for failing to accepting our offer of peaceful separation – and it will be costly.” That ends the conversation.
