Nope.

30 points is 30 points, and that's the round number around the point where the difference is very apparent to the person 30+ above the other...

If you've never experienced that before, most people never will. If you're the one talking to someone that much higher than you, if you did notice you would just noticed you're not understanding and you'd likely blame the person talking.

Exactly like Idiocracy.

Ignorance is bliss, because you never deal with someone that far below yourself, and you don’t notice the other person being that much higher.

If you're 100, only 2% are 30+ below you, and depending on your country you'll never really run into them.

But if you're 145, it's around 84% of the population, and the vast amount of people you interact with in public will give you that feeling.

I understand you're not getting this, but it doesn't mean it's something I just pulled out of my ass. You're just not understanding it

I am getting what you are saying. It's not difficult to understand but I understand that for you it must seem like I don't get it.

What I am stating though is that while you assume the relationship of IQ and that feeling you are describing to be linear it is in fact not.

Like most relationships between metric and human feelings it's highly non linear and individual to everyone. I disagree that someone with k+30 IQ feels the same about someone with k IQ no matter the reference IQ k.

And then you go on to say you don't get it...

I disagree that someone with k+30 IQ feels the same about someone with k IQ no matter the reference IQ k.

Have a nice life bub, it'll be less frustrating than it is for some of us at least.

Jesus, this was embarrassing to read. You're not just wrong, you're also a massive asshole about it.
