This is such a bad take it’s crazy. Assuming a higher IQ person has better long horizon thinking and levels of abstraction seems blatantly false.

Recent example is SBF (and crypto buddies) who probably had a high IQ but had pretty short term thinking I would say.

Still trying to use IQ as a measure of intelligence is also pretty wild. Plenty of things high IQ people can’t do (like relate to others as evidenced by the post).

(Note: I don’t know my IQ so this might just be low IQ cope)
