Pensive-level intelligence always means autistic, right?

Huh. I'm really surprised by this. I know they knew each other but didn't think they were close and I also would never have thought he'd shout out someone who hasn't been relevant for so long.

Do you have a source for this?

Interested to learn what precipitated such a change in Marc's perception. Likely some kernel of wisdom forever locked away on Google's internal message board,

Not him but was a fan. Worried that my kids are too smart and will end up like him. It seems 140 is a social death sentence so I kinda hope they'll be 120s.

"Fan" isn't the descriptor I'd personally use, but I do have a certain, shall we say, "appreciation" of Pensive's iconoclastic modes of thought.

Establishment types are afraid of him more than anything else, because his "outside the box" style of thinking represents a threat to their interests. I know first-hand that this has affected his career progression; a guy with his level of skill should be E9+ by now. I won't defend his tendency to sock puppet, nor his meandering, incredibly verbose style of writing, however his ability to identify solutions that maximize consumer utility contra establishment interests is indisputable.

I don't think he knows, let alone cares to know, his measured IQ. The concept of an IQ score is so narrow as to be meaningless. I can assure you, however, that the denizens of various corners of the internet wildly overestimate its actual value.

197 sentence, very pensivian.

Pensive is more self-aware than he gets credit for. He's a social 3/10 because of what is probably autism but he does his best work when he pretends to be a 0/10 and uses it to fuck people up.

My understanding is that Pensive and Graham each have a mutual, if begrudging, respect for the other.

I think it more commonly means reddit. But there are a lot of autists there.
