If this thread was on one of my pages I would prune the comments above.

1) The point of sharing this set of images is to illustrate that demonstrated intelligence contains specializations (divergencies).
2) So not only are there cognitive biases in the low end but the high.
3) This knowledge helps understand our cognitive biases at all levels is consistent in structure (white matter organization and density) not just chemistry.
4) The odd observation that people at the high end of the distribution think extremely differently from people at the bottom of the distribution, who think very similarly.
5) We do attract an odd distribution over 130 here, and a few over 150, but it is combined with a certain category of personality types in the intellectual end, material in the middle, and a moral predisposition at the lower.
6) And lastly a constant reminder that I do not claim to be one of the few with equidistribution of ability at the high end – I just have a rather extraordinary memory combined with an obsessive need for order, which results in an obsessive interest in logic and correspondence.

So I am not sure this argument has any basis since (a) yes members of this group share certain specializations, and that they are consistent across the spectrum, (b) that I am and some of us are very clearly above the 130 and 145 thresholds and (c) we have not much choice in how we think only the interpersonal COMMENSURABILITY OF THE model we think with.(d) and that propertarianism provides both that commensurable model AND the political order that takes best advantage of it.
