The danger of people who identify with a high IQ.

@igz0: What can I say about the danger I feel for people who have a large proportion of IQ as their identity?

This is a metaphor, but when choosing a new smartphone, you don't just choose CPU and memory performance, do you?

I feel like the software in the brain is far more important, but we are only looking at specs for that.

@nishio: people who make high IQ their individual identity do not have people of equivalent IQ around them. In other words, they are not able to build friendships with people of equivalent IQ.

Next, people who are using their IQ to produce results talk about results, so people who only talk about IQ without it are people who are not producing any results.

I think these two are the main ingredients of danger.

The danger of [people who take high IQ as their identity

@tokoroten: @nishio Ah, I'm starting to think it's equally bad for middle-aged people with the names of high schools like Kaisei or Nada in their profiles ......

@ringo: @nishio Lack of identity and

The lack of a way to express identity and

Why bother choosing that mode of expression?

I felt like I had to separate the two.

nishio I would like to hear more about this as it sounds like an interesting angle!

ringo I agree that IQ, or rather a person who expresses a particular ability or attribute as an identity, looks dangerous. It's like saying that supporting a large building with a single pillar looks dangerous.

But I think it might be a play that hides or jeopardizes other attributes, for social networking purposes.

nishio Ah, you dare to put forth one character attribute to make the character setting easy to understand (and play it out), that makes sense!

@HeLiCoPtAr2: @nishio "I won't let you take the IQ mount but I will let you take the achievement mount" is simply sterile. I feel like it's just a petty skirmish.

@read_me: @HeLiCoPtAr2 @nishio After the achievement mount comes "how much money did I make?", "how much support did I get?" How much happiness you make people..." and the list goes on and on. All of these are acts of putting others on a specific scale, which reproduces unhappiness because it makes them superior or inferior in comparison to others.

@seiichiro1240: you know, there used to be someone who would get involved with "my IQ is xxx," as a pillow talk. I wonder how he is doing.

@YasashiNingen: ah, the same weirdos who are always bragging about how many points they got on the center exam or whatever! I'm not sure if I'm being too harsh or too harsh.

read_me I don't think it's a good idea to intervene in how they use their specs.

"Since I was born a woman, I should make the most of my femininity," and that's up to the individual.

read_me I can't just write things like height and affiliation in my profile and then be told, "People who really produce results don't write things like that. I can't stand it when people say, "It's important to know how much you've achieved with it. I'd love a society where people can recognize themselves even if they don't have achievements.
