Now obviously having low iq is not the goal but IQ within standard deviations or even higher is cope.
The odds that your 5 points above standard deviation IQ will achieve anything groundbreaking is infinitesimal and nobody gives a single shit. Even if your IQ is in the 140+ range unless that you have created a multi-billion dollar company or achieved anything insane for humanity it means nothing.
Those with the IQ necessary to go to Ivy Leagues arent special either. The average Harvard Grad has a reported IQ of 129, and their average salary mid-career is 160k pre-tax. This is obviously going to be in a big city so slash that damn near in half after tax and there you go, barely enough to live in luxury for this "high IQ"
tldr: anybody that isn't extremely rich or changed humanity for the better is coping with their "muh high IQ"
