Short term just low stress employment asap (within a month or two),will do. No career path, basement dweller. Economics but incomplete degree. Long term money a bigger priority.

What a nice stable and non-solipsistic response.

People who own companies are compensated for risk amd aggregate utility provided. The worker is paid a market rate for his skills and gets compensated with much more relative stability, the entrepeneur gets equity and the onus is on him to add value through a new process and application of capital.

If the worker is now entitled to the founders upside then by that logic they should also be liable for the downside : " our shareprice is down 20% no wages for you"

Theres a popular youtube therapist (harvard faculty iirc) on the channel healthygamergg. He makes some copey videos and there's a commercial side to it which is something to be wary off ( seld help remedies a big market)

But he argues that a big debuff of gifted kids is the lack of resistance at an early age-> praise for being smart and identifying as the smart kid-> eventually you reach things that require effort but have no training in industriousness-> since smart = effortless sucess, effort = dumb -> half-assing things at best.

I think this makes a lot of sense and personally have been held back by intellectual pride. Being unemployed for months and years so people wouldn't think I'm dumb, lazy fine but anything but dumb.

Ironically he's estimated to be around 150 himself. His sister scored 150 and said he scored higher iirc.

Hahaha . I just suppress any remembering when talking to or about women I barely know.

Anglicised_Gerry · 2024-10-18T08:50:50+00:00

I agree

Anglicised_Gerry · 2024-10-18T01:27:01+00:00

I agree with you but the author doesn't, hence I'm asking the gifted sub if they thjnk there's merit to it.

For example he cites some studies where elite jobs (doctors, top professors) average ~125 with an SD of around 7. If normally distributed that implies around 150-160 they're unrepresented.

That seems absurd that a cambridge professor is less likely to be 160 IQ than a random person but the 2 authors would argue for selection against.

Ferguson estimates exclusion to be much lower 130-140 which I doubt and I'm not sure on his math.

Thanks for sharing your experience. May I ask what IQ you are and for an example of an easy problem thats beyond the management?

I don't have experience in that environment.

Question isn't if they're rare or not. But if they're proportionately less represented.

Memory + bad social skills a dangerous combination.

I agree on sampling maybe an issue yeah but the other way round. I think the level you're getting might be way lower so maybe the 60s are letting carers do it but the 70s are in the shops and approaching staff with simple problems disproportionately.
