This is not some low iq cope, but I am super uneducated on this subject so correct me on things I’m wrong about. It just occurred to me today, I’m aware of all the brainwashing schools and governments do to keep you as a cog in the machine so that you can best serve humanity, I notice more and more every day, and yet this whole time I’ve been trusting this measure of intelligence that may not prove anything at all. Can anyone give examples of high iq people that have genuinely been able to use it to use it well (besides academically), since now thinking about it even the greatest minds to ever exist are still famous for serving the machine. If I had to guess it would be something like chess players, that are able to adapt quickly and plan far ahead, keeping track of several possible solutions. Even then how does this really help them beyond their own hobby? I’m really struggling to think of ways that iq (not intelligence) can actually help. My mind is open, and I am open to suggestions to pieces of media that will expand my knowledge on the subject.
