Didn't you get something like 100 in the IQ test?

IQ is gay I was tested in the high 140s as a kid and had the GATE shit (God knows what that did to me) and it doesn't have a bearing on success in the modern world (which boils down to showing up and showing deference to superiors). All it means is that you figure shit out faster.

Which is still pretty damn important, since the modern world relies entirely on speed.

Whether it's sports, music, art, trades, software development etc, in every career the person who can think the fastest is always at an advantage.

If only objective performance mattered more than likeability and deference in hierarchies. God I hate white collar politics so much. Academia, military, corporate, everywhere is like this.
