Dochter is one I think. Very strong thinker.
Dochter/Upa was great, but I think he's more of a retired former regular than an occasional poster. Not trying to argue here. Just curious.

No, those are par for the course for high IQ types. Ironically incredibly high IQ types tend to be happy go lucky. Personality stratification by IQ is actually pretty interesting. Honestly I think your problem is you are to emotional, you clearly have trouble separating yourself from the discussion.Or crippling anxiety and depression.

Uchi Mata and Julia4GSP would be up there too imo.
Disagree. Uchi was OK, but I don't think at that level. Julia was not good.
Hmm that opinion surprises me, though I do have a tendency to conflate raw intelligence with literacy.
How about Cold Front or Workers United?
Gotcha, I know the feeling.Two people I mostly avoid. Just not interested in going around on either Marxism or "HBD" stuff. Both have these fanatical fans who are very coached in their arguments, and someone who isn't as interested just can't keep up without a lot of work. Some might say the same about Austrianism, but that's somewhat more enjoyable for me.
I would bet there are more than 10 posters here north of 145.
My biggest concern is that the speed at which our technology and economy are advancing means that a higher and higher IQ number is incapable of contributing meaningfully to our society. I suspect that by the time my kid graduates from college, anyone with an IQ under 115 will be relegated to low skill tasks because they just won't be smart enough for anything better and tech will be doing what they used to do.
What do you do when 60% of your population is only smart enough for low level work? There are no 21st century farming job equivalents.
Define "low skill task". I'm willing to bet anyone with an IQ of 100 can learn to program (especially considering how garbage most programmers are) and languages are getting simpler and simpler. Likewise, ID software is becoming more resilient to horrible design while 3d printers are more accessible (and better materials). At some point they will become low skill jobs (programming is kind of already there), but will require human interaction.
Languages are getting simpler and simpler but the tasks we're coding for are not. Back when IBM coded Deep Blue it was incredible as far as coding is concerned. By the time I got to college, we were coding chess programs as freshman. The stuff that's being coded these days is orders of magnitudes greater than what was considered complex 2 decades ago. And the programmers need to be smarter to envision it, code it and debug it. So while coding languages are simpler than they were, the tasks for which we are coding are far more complicated.
Man, I've been taking some programming classes, and it was bleak in there. I don't know about this one...Define "low skill task". I'm willing to bet anyone with an IQ of 100 can learn to program
I think you have a cartoonishly inaccurate view of what normal people think.
Get out while you can.I've been tested twice over the years.
First was 128
Second was 11.
Nah, the second was 123. So that means i'm getting less and less intelligent as i type.
