There is always an issue with that kind of gap. I work in IT (AD), and I've met too many people who were good but not good enough to be helpful, creating resentment. And it can be predicted easily. I ask for help, and the guy looks at the problem and asks me to solve it so he can work on it 😅 So, I explain that the crux of the job IS solving the problem. Then, some fight ensues where the guy mostly says, "But I never learned how to do it." I replied that I didn't either. Then I have to solve the problem, and the guy returns with, "You see, you knew. If you didn't learn how to solve this, you wouldn't be able to do it". From then on, everything you can say is insulting one way or another, as it boils down to "I am better than you at this." So, you try to say that you've some experience, that you were lucky. But it happens that you have an insane amount of experience on many topics and an insane amount of luck. Then people start to realize you are much better than them at the job but don't want to admit it. And that fosters an awful environment. Then, you naturally pick the most challenging problems so others can solve the easier ones. In an ideal world, people are happy (to each to his capabilities). In the real world, everyone struggles. You too. The big difference is that you've no support, and others look up to you for help. So, you start helping by removing roadblocks. Until you reach the point where you are not doing your job as you should. So, you begin denying some requests. People are surprised and ask, "Why don't you help me for 5 minutes, because without you, it will take me hours?". And you've to explain that you are solving problems that are way more difficult and need to be solved. And when you're giving 5 minutes here and there, you're not doing your job. And there is nobody that can help. And then, they feel insulted and reply aggressively. That's why it's best to have teams where employees are homogenous regarding problem-solving skills. Too great of a difference and resentment will install. One way around that is to have clear rules about who does what and provide time for support while ensuring everyone understands it's a privilege to get that help.

See, you didn't took the context into account. One is a random string, you have to know it (borrowed word!). The other, one with high enough g can infer its meaning, because it's concatenative. It's one big differenciator. Someone with high g and who was never exposed to oblong will immediately understand it. This illustrates encoding quite well. (yup, I didn't chose random words)

@programaths @bttldog @alwayshasbeen3 @Corbienest I see two relevant aspects: Frequency & abstraction Sofa is more frequent and more concrete They don't need to understand oblong to differentiate them I have difficulty believing that most people have difficulty differentiating these two...

D. Generate a random password and store it on a key which can type it if you enter the correct pin. I am using the OnlyKey for that purpose. So, I have a password of more than 50 characters where allowed. 😂 (And no, it's not inconvenient as all I have to do is type a smaller pin)

g cause better retention, thus better vocabulaty acquisition. It's unrelated to reading, verbal exposure works too. (as in watching a movie, hearing a nobel word, infering its meaning and updating your ontology) If course, if you're high g, read a lot and watch a lot of movies, that will compound. If you're low g, drowned in movies and literature, your vocabulary will not be imoressive in the end. If you're high g and never ever were exposed to some words...you will still onfer their meaning faster and more acurately. If you're low g and never were exposed to some words, it compounds too. Tests make sure to use a broad range of words that are not jargon such that you don't score high just because you are very interested in the specific subject from wich the word stem. You'll find words that are seldom used, but not strictly tied in a domain. Like "vernacular" or "epitome", but not "catheter".

@programaths @alwayshasbeen3 @Corbienest In other words - people with higher cognitive abilities learn faster. To me this is a question of causality. Does g cause higher vocabulary, or does g make skill development related to reading happen faster?

Vocabulary is a product of mere exposition and deeper understanding. Highly g-loaded. Most people remember words as random strings and do not differenciate words like "oblong" from words like "sofa". Most people will not understand the above sentence either. And even if they are highly educated. It all boils down to encoding and ability to quickly update mental schemes. And that boils down to g. The lower g is, the more exposition and rote learning is needed. Time being a fixed resources make such acquisition really hard. People can read a thousand books containing the word "conurbation" and never understand it and eceb less so memorising it. Why? Because of g. It's why verbal does correlates well with matrix. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC56…

That's probably because if you are low IQ, you are more prone to being offended: not enough detanchment. 《Why are priest really bad at competition? Because they always come in a little behind.》 If you're low IQ, you'll see the insulting, degrading and pedo part. All being highly emotionnal. If you're higher IQ, yoi'll recognize it's jist a joke, have a good laugh because it's clever and move on. I literally repost misandrist jokes when they are good. They are just jokes. Self deprecating humor is probably an higher IQ thing.

Vocabulary is not actually correlated with intelligence, but with education. It is a skill anyone above a certain basic intellect can learn, thus it is not a reliable indicator of intelligence. Wit is not a skill you can learn. You either have it or you don’t. This is why it is a more reliable indicator of intelligence.

how is this even a debate? "is intelligence the person who fires back a joke before you finish your sentence, or the one who pulls 'petrichor' and 'melancholy' into everyday conversation?" lmao. quick wit is not intelligence itself, it's processing speed married to social confidence. you can call them brilliant, they might also simply have low latent inhibition and a childhood spent needing to deflect. vocabulary, on the other hand, belongs to the person who speaks like a nineteenth-century letter. usually, this means they've done one of/maybe both of two things: read a great deal, and grown up in an environment where precision was rewarded. n.b. vocabulary is cultural compound interest. it impresses, but it also lies. this is why most of the most semantically dazzling people you will ever meet cannot wire a lamp, apologize sincerely, or predict that their business idea will fail. but they can name the failure in five languages tho so which is more accurate? NEITHER. both are single notes in a symphony. but if you pinned me to the wall and said, "choose," i'd say quick wit is the weaker signal cus quick wit is often just defensiveness with a PhD. at least vocabulary is earned through exposure and curiosity over time. but unlike what y'all are saying, the single most reliable measure of intelligence is: the ability to hold two opposing ideas in mind at the same time without leaking anxiety. call it cognitive elegance under tension.

Vocabulary is way better at measuring intelligence. It is not even close.

Not at all. Standard scientific knowledge. You can't answer in one word what link "tree" and "tyre" for example. And you probably believe you know those two words. You can't explain "oblong", although it's self descriptive. Why? Because you've a poorer encoding due to lower g. I know, because you said "scientific concensus is a reach."

@programaths @d4thHand This is a reach. Having knowledge of vocabulary is not a mark of raw intelligence, but of access to education. Wit cannot be taught. There’s no process. You either have it or you don’t. That’s a lot like intelligence. Dare I say it’s a strong indicator of it.

Here is a comparison I can make. One acquaintance needed help to clean his appartment. He asked some girls he knew to do it for a small fee. When they saw the appartment, they said it was way too dirty to be recoverable. So, he tried to ask the boys, because he jad a new girlfriend that would come there. Yeah, the appatrment was dirty as fuck. We were 3 and took hours. It was spotless. When we worked, there was not much talk. We scrubbed like crasy until it was done. When we grouped, we looked at what other did and congratulated, because that was quite a challenge. We didn't ask a dime. It was faster and done better, because we did only that. When I was scrubbing the bathub, all my thoughts were directed in what I was doing. The bathub was my whole world, I could not even know how long I spent. All the progress I saw was it becoming cleaner and cleaner. It's only when it wad spotless that I sought something else to do and proceeded to clean the toilet. Same thing, I was only thinking about the toilet while doing it. Then the sink etc. So, it's much easier to get lost in what you're doing and being efficient, because you don't really realize you get tired or time passing. Too busy for that. It's the ability to be in the flow and hyperfocussed. That does miracles. Now, I have health issues, I am often too tired. So, I hired a maid. She is not doing the best job, but it's good enough. And I accept "good enough." So, I would also appear as doing way less work when I do much more work. Due to hyper focus and being in the zone. The real metric should not be time, but quality×quantity. And even with a maid, I still deep clean. She mostly do "light work clean". She simply give me more time between more serious cleaning an organizing. Women are oblivious to this, because they only see the time spent. And most men optimize their spaces too. There are so many factors making men highly efficient and women discard those.

La nature humaine, les lois de la nature. 《On ne peut servir deux maîtres à la fois.》 n'est pas une expression litérale. Ça signifie que tu ne peux pas être dévoué à tes deux nationalités. Tu fais quoi en cas de conflit? Tu choisis! Et c'est pour ça que quelqu'un ayant 2 ou plus nationalités ne sera jamais vu comme dévoué, car c'est physiquement et logiquement impossible.

Nul ne peut servir deux maîtres. La double appartenance est une aberration anthropologique. C'est une contradiction avec la nature humaine, une aliénation forcée et une impossibilité logique. Et cela, indépendamment de la bonne volonté possible et de la sincérité de ceux qui en bénéficient.
Messiah Yaniss 🇨🇵🇩🇿🇸🇳@MessiahYaniss16

C’est dur de malade quand t’as la double nationalité car peu importe ce que tu dis tu te feras insulter. Si tu tiens ce discours = t’es une serpillière, un traître etc... Si tu dis que t’aimes ton pays d’origine = Rentre dans ton pays, pourquoi tu vis ici etc. Dans ce monde, tu peux pas aimer deux pays voir leurs qualités et leurs défauts, aimer et respecter les cultures. T’es obligé d’être dans l’opposition dans une guerre inutile pleine de haine où les gens répètent en boucle les mêmes phrases.

《Remembering words requires no thought, your subconscious does this naturally.》 Incorrect on the whole. The encoding process is very g-loaded. 《If everyday I listened to videos about fish I’d know more about fish...》Irrelevant, the words used in tests are words outside specialties, all those words would not help you score higher. 《How intelligent can one be if they let their subconscious is do the heavy lifting as they sit ...》 The "subsconcious" rely on encoding. Weaker IQ, weaker g, weaker encoding. 《Quick wit requires speed of thought + complexity of thought. Being able to assess a situation, recall information, form a relation in an unpredictable environment and doing this quickly and repeatedly requires substantially more mental sharpness and clarity than simply remembering words and facts》 Partially true. Again, encoding. You probably don't know "hydrocephalus", I do. Am I a neuro-surgeon? No, the word made sense and expose once or twice, I "remembered" it. But did I? No. The same way I "remember" oblong. I understand how those words are constructed and they sit well in my own ontology and schemes. You won't understand those and they won't stick. Memorising random strings (how it is seen by average people) is way harder than swiftly categorizing a word and updating your schemes. You don't realize words I used are different from words like "sofa", "kitchen" or "sun", because your IQ also limits your perceltion. Also, if I were to ask you what link a "tyre" to a "tree" in one word, you would struggle. There is way more than you can perceive innthe way words are stored and retrieved. You'll answer none of the arguments above, because it will prove strenous. From experience, you'll use ad hominems.

Vocabulary is a lookup table. It isn’t intelligent or creative at all — it’s memorization by rote. Thats why pretentious language is a turn-off; it’s a substitute for intelligence. Wit, on the other hand, requires a great deal of context processing, social awareness, and efficient access to encyclopedic knowledge. It is far more reliable of an indicator for intelligence. “How is this a debate” indeed. Wit clearly trumps vocabulary.

@JarvisAeneas Reactance. It's the fact a natural phenomenon is used to guilt trip that makes people reject it as a whole: it's much easier. If it wasn't balooned, people would accept the same way we say the sky is blue. It's human psychology.

Walter Rodney was wrong. Africans are poor because too many African countries make it hard to start businesses, get permits, access reliable electricity, trade freely, protect property, enforce contracts, attract investment, and keep the rewards of hard work. Singapore is richer than Britain, its former colonizer. Switzerland, which never built a colonial empire, is richer than Spain and Portugal, two of the greatest imperial powers in history.
