At the end of the day though IQ is supposed to describe ones ability to learn, that is to gather and comprehend information. now sure its possible you could decide you dont need/want certain kinds of information, or find it bothersome. but this does not signify a lack of ability, but a lack of caring.
The thing I experienced is that I felt my whole life like people thought I was stupid (except the teachers and people who knew me better) because the way I talk to someone or explain something, wich is totally 180 degrees from the way I talk on a forum for instance, I skip steps in the story cause I assume that the person that's listening also skips those steps. Things that seem like a logical consequence of what I'm explaining and therefor I assume this person, another human being with brains, can also make this leap. Turns out that I have been dumbing myself down for a long time just so I could fit in and actually communicate with people between the ages +/- 5 and 23.
I stopped dumbing myself down again for a long time now and it did not improve my social life. People often think I'm weird and can't make sense out of things I'm saying. Like we're not on the same frequency anymore and I refuse to fine tune.
Sorry if I come over as egotistical, bending the story towards myself but it's issues I've toyed with all my life.
Society seems to want you to dumb yourself down or be on your own.
Also what your born into (socially or economically) has nothing to do with evolution, but rather luck of the draw. While IQ is also luck of the draw it does at least have to do with genetics.
Well. You could seriously argue about that considering in our world, race is, depending on where you get born, still a predefined foundation of your social and economic future for most people.
And sure random chance might dictate you get in a car accident, or forgetting that one wiggly little detail may cost you your life in an experiment gone wrong. but this does not mean their is some "divine" balance dictated by god, or as you seem to be suggesting, evolution.
I'm not suggesting that the balance comes from just evolution. I have no idea where it all comes from I'm just guessing with my limited knowledge.
I can say so many things but it would just be rambling.. Like that human children's brains are hard wired to believe in a spiritual world, that people who have no control over their surroundings will more likely develop a believe in God and therefor God might very well be our own creation.
That Einstein was working on a theory of everything and if we ever really get that formula nothing would be random chance. That Aliens might already be at the point of having that theory of everything and can make a simulation of the universe. That everything is made out of dots.. Quantized. That we might be in that simulation right now and that the 3 Alien scientist controlling the simulation are "God". If you would use the drake equation that becomes a much more probable theory than the real God.
Cause we need to assume that Aliens, just like us, want to master everything there is to master. And they might be millions if not billions of earth years more advanced than we are.. Think about it. They would want to know everything that ever happened. Cause we would. In a simulation you're not supposed to "interfere" just like God.
If this were so we, and i mean the human race, wouldnt even exist. we are totally unbalanced, have a totally unfair advantage over every other creature on the earth simply because of how powerful our brains are. that doesnt mean we couldnt get ate by a lion, but that given the proper motivation we could decide to eat ALL of the lions. Or hell accidentally kill them all off just through our unchecked growth.
Yes we got too smart too fast. However that happened. Where in the evolutionary tree do you see a creatures brain size TRIPLE!! within the course of 30.000 years. It's as if we are indeed some experiment that spiraled out of control.
PS: My apologies if I come over as condescending when I say things. I get that allot and it's not my intention. Like I'm lecturing while I'm just very interested in what we're talking about and want to say too many things. I also tend to drift off topic because I can always think of something that is connected in some way.
