Once you hit about a 20-point IQ gap, communication starts to completely break down.
It's not that the lower IQ person is "stupid" (although that can often be the case) or the higher one is arrogant, it's that you're literally operating on different systems.
A 20 point difference (roughly 1.3 standard deviations) means:
Vocabulary and abstraction levels diverge sharply. What feels like crystal clear logic to one side sounds like vague, pretentious word salad to the other. Jokes land flat. Metaphors get taken literally. Complex cause and effect chains get simplified into "this good, that bad."
Different time horizons and pattern recognition. One person thinks in months or years and sees systems, the other is locked into days or immediate rewards. Trying to explain second order effects feels like speaking another language.
Also, processing speed and working memory gaps. The higher IQ person is already three steps ahead, getting impatient. The lower IQ person feels talked down to or overwhelmed.
Both walk away frustrated.
Both have wasted each others time.
Ask yourself which one you would regret more:
1. Sell $TSLA to buy SpaceX IPO only to watch SpaceX acquire TSLA at a 50/50 valuation ratio
2. Hold $TSLA and watch SpaceX IPO take off without you and never merge with TSLA
@Allen5738582888@aleabitoreddit I have the same problem.. im in singapore and even IBKR dont allow me to buy a number of stocks that serenity mentioned
Quintessential Singaporean experience:
A one in a 14 million chance to win $10 million this week
Fun fact:
There was once a foreign construction worker who won $2.8 million from just a $1 bet
He went home and became a king of his hometown
You’re $1 away from life changing wealth
Lesson in that
