Date: February 23rd, 2026 2:34 PM Author: tantric tattoo garrison Nah that's stupid. Writing ability is one of the most obvious indicators of intelligence there is. If someone doesn't have it they aren't intelligent. And if someone does they likely are. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5837579&forum_id=2\u0026mark_id=5310690#49689546) |

being a good writer is a sign of high iq, but also a sign of not ultra high iq. once someone is so smart that they cannot relate to (or care to relate to) other people they lose the ability to be great writers. |

Date: February 23rd, 2026 3:32 PM Author: spectacular hominid lodge Imo there is an enormous paucity of scholarship on this phenomenon.
So smart you're infinitely relatable and entertaining, but way too dumb to send rockets into space tp. And vice versa you're a terminally autistic Raketemensch but everyone thinks you're weird and out of touch.
Why is this? Why are wordcels and shape rotaters so unaligned?! |
|
Date: February 23rd, 2026 3:47 PM Author: Cyan meetinghouse there is actually a lot of scholarship on it in cognitive science.
ultimately it comes down to IQ and cognitive testing only being able to measure objective, falsifiable things and those things tending to align with autistic intelligence. it's very difficult to measure EQ, creativity, etc.
the majority of employees at apple, tesla, etc. are probably smarter in terms of IQ than jobs and musk. yet in a room with them you'd be hard pressed to call them "smarter." AI is scoring 140+ on the WAIS already yet it's not very "smart" and really struggles with writing beyond perfect technical proficiency. |

Date: February 23rd, 2026 3:52 PM Author: spectacular hominid lodge Yeah I remember Jensen Huang talking about this with regards to AI. He was saying it's called Artificial Intelligence because it's intelligent not because it can do creative problem solving or advanced cognition or something. I'm butchering the quote but that was the gist of it. I guess it's impossible to quantify what makes a genius a genius exactly. And of course a genius chef isn't the same as a genius basketball player, and so forth. AI could be smarter than all of us but it's a genius at nothing.

Date: February 23rd, 2026 8:57 PM Author: tantric tattoo garrison Nah I think this is false. It's true that ultra-high iq does not guarantee great writing ability. But "tend to be very autistic and pretty shit at writing" is false. Leibniz likely had one of the highest IQs of all time and he was unusually lucid and multilingual. He wrote fluently in Latin, French, and German. Plato is another one that comes to mind for sure, arguably one of the greatest writers of all time. Gauss's Disquisitiones is arguably brilliant writing but not the most readable. Bertrand Russell and Poincare are pretty clean examples of geniuses with elegant and readable writing. Also Grothendieck is clearly one of the highest geniuses of all time and he is the primary person responsible for bringing natural language argument into mathematical construction/proofs.

Date: February 24th, 2026 9:45 AM Author: Cyan meetinghouse of course there are outlier examples for everything. however, if you ever read the correspondence and writing between ultra high iq people you can't deny the generalization i'm making is broadly true.
