It is an interesting topic and I have often wonder where I'm at and what I was truly capable of. With various different categories of intelligence I have partially been able to rely on my physical athletic attributes and interpersonal skills. Everything we do in this world is done for women and sometimes the path of least resistance is to use ones other attributes vs doing lab work and crunching numbers.
Dolph Lundren experienced this. Incredibly smart but there was more status and money in being and entertainer.
I ran into some incredibly smart guys at Purdue. I met this guy at the Linux club and we were both using Gentoo at the time and the thing that blew my mind is that on top of his computer science assignments he was also coding for fun to figure out puzzles and was trying to optimize the code to come up with the solution faster. That is when I was like WTF???? The coursework would have been enough on it's own and I didn't consider a lot of the work fun by any stretch of the imagination and this guy was doing all this other stuff outside of class. I ran into a couple other guys that I considered to be on his intelligence level from my perspective.
The premise of a lot of college students having extremely low intelligence and low awareness ultimately is pretty shocking and to think that there is so much DEI hiring we would think a lot of these companies will self destruct like Budweiser.
I think the tough thing is that even when someone is in the Dark Blue or Purple band depicted above they aren't guaranteed "success" in this society. Hard to define but even if you define it as living an above average experience facilitated by considerable cash flow and being able to pass on their genes with someone at their equivalence or above their equivalency. Always hard to define and with women they can rely so much on dressing up their look in a fake manor with makeup and other products and because of the amount of attention they are able to garner do they every really push themselves or reach what their peak could have been
They can slide by just looking somewhat decent which is a lower and lower barrier as time goes on. Sort of like what Dolph Lundren experienced buy for just very baseline women from 50 years ago.
