Tastyfish supposedly was part of Mensa and has an IQ of 148 or something:

He went from normal guy, who plays in a band and has friends and family to somebody, who lives in a caravan in the woods and rambles about suckless software. I admire him from my heart and think he is right about a lot of things he says, but from a normalfag's perspective it's quite sad and he clearly suffers a lot, probably due to his high IQ and his conclusions.

I'm just shy of 160 and married with a normal social life. The misconception that high intelligence is associated with social alienation is a cope by normies. To maintain an illusion of cosmic justice, normies convince themselves that extraordinary ability comes at the cost of some deficiency, like poor social skills or mental illness. They believe that the qualities individuals are endowed with must be, on net, distributed in an egalitarian fashion. They can't bear the reality that some people are simply better than them.

You're a fucking idiot. You are not at the 99.99th percentile of intelligence. There's like 500,000 people on the entire planet with that IQ or greater. Also, because of the small sample size the higher the IQ range, the more theoretical and inaccurate it becomes. Anyone that claims over 145 is usually full of shit.

You see how much this triggers people? I am profoundly intelligent, socially well-adjusted, handsome, athletic, an excellent singer and musician, and I enjoy a lucrative career. It can't be. It's just too much for the average person to bear, psychologically. There must be some cosmic punishment to compensate for my extraordinary abilities. But there isn't. The worst thing you can say about me is that I'm a bit absent-minded and forgetful when I retreat into the stimulating inner-world of my thoughts.

If you really were, you would understand that no two distinct lives are identical, and that the related experiences vary greatly.
You wouldn't infer a broad generalization solely based on your own personal observations because you would know that those conclusions, even though they would ring true to you, would only be a reflection of your own biases, and as such would be a fallacious reasoning unworthy of your mental abilities.
You also wouldn't reply that by virtue of superior IQ, one would easily overcome any social attrition, since you would be aware that one's psychological landscape is not only shaped by rational thoughts, but is also dependent on affective and emotional factors which are often probematic to assess and/or manage due to their overwhelming subjective nature.
But what do I know? Maybe you just wanted to vent your contempt on a cambodian stamp collection board, maybe you want to revive trolling as an art, maybe you're just a asshole, I don't care, /sci/ is just dead to me. What the hell am I doing here? I don't belong here.

I don't claim that there aren't profoundly gifted people who suffer from social alienation and/or mental disorders. I'm countering the "broad generalization" that highly intelligent people necessarily have these deficiencies. There is a general conception in our culture that intelligence is both a gift and a curse. This idea is psychologically satisfying to average people, who envy intelligence, but it doesn't necessarily correspond to reality.

I agree with then notion that genetics usually comes in packages and if you are deficit in one department, you probably are in others too, BUT IQ was invented to filter out mentally retarded people from the military, not to measure 99.99% genius intelligence. The scale is just not made for extreme outliers and in particular not for extremely smart people. Maybe invent your own measurement if you are so smart.

I agree with your point about smart people usually being good at everything else too, including being charismatic, since that is also my experience with them. However, I also agree with the other anon calling your IQ out. To even calibrate an IQ test to be able to test for an IQ of 160 without extrapolation would require a dataset that includes at least a handful of people scoring that high, and that'd require hundreds of thousands of people. An organisation like Mensa would have access to that many test takers, but they suffer from a massive sample selection bias. The best data comes from military testing, but their problem is that the military is not really interested in whether someone's IQ is 145 or 160, and such people simply get perfect scores. It's possible that your IQ is 160, but I doubt any test actually told you so.

you also simulate things to completion before other individuals might even begin to understand them
for example, in the movie the matrix, when neo is plugged into a training simulation and improves his fighting skills against morpheus, it wasn't reality, but he benefited from the simulation
if your mind is powerful enough, you can do this as well
baki's "imagination training" is another relatively similar example
your imagination capabilities become so large that you can effectively do something in your mind, and benefit in terms of physical skill, as if you did it in real life, as long as you remain honest with how you imagine it
this is why nikola tesla said something along the lines of "everything is visualization", he was correct
most people are excited to pursue things because they want to discover what it's like to accomplish the thing they're pursuing
intelligent people accurately simulate things before they finish them, ended up bored when the outcome is exactly as they expected, and disappointed when the effect it has on their reality isn't as large as they would have hoped

On the contrary, the general opinion is that all gifted people should effortlessly coast through life.
What triggers people is the presumed absence of work for the maximum outcome, a bit like winning the lottery.
As this goes against the grain of the social norm, when any gain should be hard-earned, it challenges the legitimacy of being intelligent.

Many highly intelligent people do struggle with socialization, regardless of your own experience.
It is not a deficiency - average people would struggle in an environment filled with 60 IQ apes.
The problem is merely the chance of meeting like-minded people and especially women, thanks to higher variance in men, being drastically lower at high deviations from the norm.
High intelligence is evidence of efficient brain function, negatively correlated with mental illness and positively with reaction time.
But at the end of the day, you'll have to live inside your own head, or on the internet, when you have nobody to have a stimulating conversation with.

They just don't define success in the context of group think. Normies think smart people worship social status and wealth (like normies) but smart people don't so retards and midwits rarely recognize an intelligent person when they see one (which is usually intentional on the smart persons part).

Nibbas here be claiming 160 most likely got it from:
1) a test that used standard deviation 24
2) a test that uses the mental age model
3) some garbage online test with shitty norms.
I'm also tired of the stereotypes. Being highly gifted doesn't imply you will have autism or other kinds of disorders.
Some of you will likely self diagnosed like geniuses just because you could do calculus in middle school and had no friends.
Also, Chris langan's IQ is most likely between 150-170 sd 15. His mega score is impressive, but that test potentially measures more than just classical G and the norms are highly inflated. Honestly, some of the numerical sequences there are just cretinous.

I'm not super high IQ, something in the ballpark of 125 with a SD of 15, but until my 20's I was misunderstood 90% of the time. People legitimately thought I was retarded and this confused me into believing their assumptions of me. Social retardedness combined with autistic-ish traits such as decent math intuition and natural programming skills meant that whatever I tried to communicate to my peers, I was always misunderstood, unless the peer was on same level or higher than me. I assumed they would know things I know, so I did not brief them with the base knowledge of whatever I was trying to say, which led them to draw blind assumptions such as I was talking nonsense or that I meant something that I truly did not even mean or think of.
I did end up winning though, whatever that even means, I guess.

They are full of shit . I've not seen a single example of one of them being honest about either the scores they got or their meaning. There is some korean nibba Yonghoon Kim who not only reports his iq in sd 24, but also reports scores on high range tests made by amateurs on the internet. Tests that have awfully inflated norms and god knows what constructs they measure.
The chinese form cheating groups to crack these meaningless internet tests in order to list their names on shitty leaderboards like "world genius directory" or "chinese high iq network".
A shame because the puzzles spawned from the interest of measuring iq in the high range are actually fun and G as is a good and useful construct.
On another note, I find it hilarious how people in general hate on IQ only to then bring up MBTI.

So about tastyfish
148 is most likely sd 24 meaning he got 130 sd 15 which is the scale most people are familiar with. His IQ ain't that high and mensa tests usually don't go above 145.
He is from czech republic. Most european countries use FRT-A ( figure reasoning test form A) for the admission which caps at 135 sd 15.
It's not the high iq that did this, I am friend with people in that range in sd 15 on legitimate tests and they are not social outcasts.

White IQ manifests differently and isn't appreciated as much by the current pipeline filter, leetcoding.

Its not a meaningful distinction tbqh. The real material quotient should be Agency Quotient. The measurement of agency is whats needed. Agency is the ability to take charge and shape the world according to your will. This goes counter to the deterministic world view and the cartesian free will that everyone has. Rather its a view of the world that says free will is modular and exerted from living beings, and we have varying degrees of free will/agency instead of infinite/unmeasurable level of free will.

Yet I still have my own challenges: it is one thing to find funding for the desk science, but now I know I have something big.. and it's really challenging to acquire funds for that or even to explain to people why what I offer them can build it's own market almost from scratch. Probably I should tone it down, because retards think that some things are "too good to be true" and I don't even tell you here what is the endgame of what I want to build, because then you'd consider me unrealistic at the level of insane.

the question is what’s the right thing to scale

why do you want your kids to be unhappy?

If you're actually smart, you just didn't yet figure out how to become happy. The better question would be "why do you need to get married to have kids from a smart person" (because I cannot be bothered with family nonsense)

You edgy teenager, you imagine yourself to be smart because you saw how shit it is, while others seem clueless? Now you figure out how to make your life a fascinating journey (or get lost and don't get underfoot)

You can see more possiblities than others. It's like more options are unlocked when you make decisions in the rpg of life. I've never taken an iq test before, but I'm just more cognatively capable than other people. In university, my friends would always comment about their problems, and I would respond with "why don't you just do x" and they would just stare at me for a second like how did you even come up with that. In exams when you stumble across a difficult problem and figure out multiple ways to solve it, you have to reason the method in which the professor wants you to solve. The thing is, I'm not a genius, not anywhere close. I went to a pretty average university and the only time I've been around a high concentration of intelligence was an extracurricular program filled with academic grinders and a few true geniuses.
I remember talking about future goals with some of the kids there and the thing that stuck me about geniuses was that a lot of them had out there life plans; something like going to ivy league universities, then using them as a spring board to do foreign exchange programs (this is quite normal so far) and then building an international cult (cult might not be the best word, but think of someting like effective altruism). Most of them just went on to live quite predicatable lives, but some of them did do weird-ass shit. Genius does not protect you from being an idiot.

What is stopping you? Any online iq test shall give you the first approximation. And if you're anywhere near 150, maybe you áre a genius. Ability to see solution where others cannot is pretty much this. So if the test confirms, maybe start setting in front of yourself somewhat more fascinating tasks.

I can't even imagine how lonely a life it is
I'm just shy of 140 and my day to day is half sheer tedium, half anomie

It sounds as you didn't find your passion yet.
What would you do if you had sufficient ubi so you could avoid the hell of interactions?

Unless Mensa IQ challenge, it is bullshit.
I did the mensa IQ challenge for 17 year olds and scored 115 (85th percentile, smarter than 85% of people at that age, +1sd)
Thing is I was 13 years old, and the test even said that it would vastly underestimate you if you were below the age of 17. So probably higher than that. My parents score ~125-130 and back when I was in "academic" courses (like your honors courses in America (the 11th province) I believe) I would get high 90s% without trying.
Probably about 130 from my estimation, I feel genius around midwits and midwit around geniuses. Maybe 120, maybe even 140.
Still feel like I am a fucking 80iq retard though

The Mensa online tests are bullshit too. Just go see a therapist if you are truly interested.

mensa tests dont seem very wrong for spatial but actual intelligence tests measure a lot more than that

>what do you do for fun?
i recently purchased some Semax from a website in the form a nasal spray. it's kind of like a stimulant, without necessarily being a real stimulant, but it also makes your brain more plastic. at the same time, i started engaging in a lot of bed rotting, before i realized that i effectively trained myself to bed rot thanks to increased plasticity. it also kicked a nicotine addiction. so now i'm trying to be rid of this new way of existing.
you might not be able to appreciate this like i do, but i in fact think it is extremely important to find amusement in the sisyphean task of chasing one's own tail, otherwise life will mostly be not fun.
>line of work
honestly hard to describe but i basically run a daycare for these chatbots that are sodarn everywhere now, so i can help teach them not to shit themselves when being asked to count the number of words in this sentence or to critique source code i've written
>are you interesting?
when i was a kid, if i closed my mouth and plugged my nose and breathed out as hard as i could, i could push air out of my eyes. i'm approaching 30 now, and i stopped doing that because stimulants raise my blood pressure a bit and i'm scare i'll pop something that's mission-critical.
>can you make me laugh?
i dont know. i honestly dont know. i really tried but i couldn't get an answer.

oh, it's pretty consistently about 135 iirc. if i factor in online tests as well (lol btw) it seems to sit somewhere around like 132 and 136, but the +-15 is just the change in the test i recall being administered. this was back when i was in HS though when i had to go through Special Boy Training, so i have no doubt my numbers have decreased since then, but don't tell this other anon that
