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.

My favorite thing about Twitter is when you open your feed and see something interesting that you never saw before and then it changes for no reason and you can never see that other thing again.
@RationalMale@RoadMimis@grok I went through this five years ago. Was a brutal recovery. If you need to visit a specialist I highly recommend Dr Bhat in Bangalore. Gave me my life back with Kshara Sutra treatment.
Every single issue Iโve ever had has worked itself out
Itโs better to not stress and just let life take its course
If you are favored by God, all will be okay
