Detecting a pattern for me often comes with a feeling or a "buzz." I think of thinking itself as a kind of feeling, because when my brain detects a pattern, it’s like responding to a specific stimulus whether things are adding up or not. The the lower the intelligence, the less stimulus the less detection of patterns.
Some patterns are immediately obvious to me, and I can actually feel the feedback loop happening as I work through them. I can replay it in my mind, hold onto it, and break it down. But other patterns take longer for me to understand immediately. That's because the "logic chain" is too long for my brain to track it all at once. For more complex thoughts, I have to go through each step slowly to follow the pattern and get the feedback, unlike simpler ones that are clear right away. meaning that I have put more of my focus just for that one thought chain, which filters me from being able to engage in higher thought of those who are 130IQ+, especially in real time conversation.
at the same time, I have better intuition for certain kinds of topics that people who are clearly more intelligent than me don't seem to understand because they fucked up somewhere in their axioms. which makes conversations ever more frustrating because you can't explain to them why they're getting something wrong. it's not always like this, but it's really annoying when it happens.
