@genxcounselor @Heavenly_Race_ The person who didnt learn the big words was actually smart. He just didnt have to option to learn big words but he knew what concepts where. The op just didnt understand the subject enough to explain the subject without big words.
English
@genxcounselor @Heavenly_Race_ The op made a claim. The claim was wrong because it seemed like some measurement was a signal of not being able to talk to eachother. He learned lots of big words while others didnt. The confusion of big words made that the person he was talking to was dumb. This is not the case

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.

@Heavenly_Race_ You just cant stop using big words. Learn to speak pleb and you can explain your idea better.
Let me guess, midrange iq but strong book learning skill?

This post blew up, and the replies perfectly illustrate the exact point I was making.
The most common pushback is some version of:
“Nuh-uh, intelligent people can still communicate with lower-IQ individuals just fine.”
I shouldn’t have to spell this out, but here we go.
Nobody is claiming you can’t have a basic transactional conversation with a grocery store clerk, order food, or make small talk with your neighbor. Surface level communication works across moderate gaps. You point, you smile, you use simple sentences, it gets the job done.
The real breakdown happens when you move beyond scripts and start exchanging actual ideas.
That’s where the 20-point gap becomes a chasm:
- One person is thinking in systems, incentives, second and third order consequences.
- The other is stuck at first order, immediate, concrete terms.
What feels like a crystal clear, logical argument to the higher IQ person sounds like confusing, overly complicated nonsense to the other.
You’re not speaking the same conceptual language anymore.
This is why high IQ people often feel chronically alienated in normal social or professional environments, and why average people can find very bright individuals exhausting, “weird,” or arrogant.
It’s also why throwing together teams, friendships, marriages, or institutions with massive cognitive mismatches creates persistent friction that “just be nice” rhetoric can’t magically dissolve.
Basic communication? Usually possible.
Deep, accurate exchange of complex ideas? Often not.

If you dont understand the subject you cant dumb it down to 80 IQ. If you have trouble with communication like the guy below, its a skill issue.

@anbrandenburger @Vikingobitcoin9 A few lies in there but the biggest joke in it is thinking kaspa is better.
English
@Vikingobitcoin9 Just like Gold 4000 BC. Silver 3000 BC. American Land 1492. Etc…
Invest in fundamentals, not charts.
Don’t be a sheep.
Fundamentally, there’s not one thing Bitcoin does that Kaspa can’t.

I wonder if anyone would be interested in supporting me as a subscriber on X for $21/month.
I’d use the funding to keep working on my website, adding new interactive Bitcoin dashboards, keeping everything updated, and running weekly subscriber-only Bitcoin Self Custody Q&A spaces.
I’d also prioritize building dashboards/features requested by subscribers first.

@growthlimits Yeah, who knows. I wonder if SoV is Kratter since he's been saying he's spent a lot on rented hash lately. 🤔
English
@w_s_bitcoin I did not calculate this properly tho. I did it on a time based measure.
Discounting the first block but counting from his first next block its 297/3 =~1%
English
@w_s_bitcoin 0.93% for just SoV when im discounting the first block.
English
@w_s_bitcoin Its, lose ben. Fucking ai corrected keyboard. Sorry bout that
English
@w_s_bitcoin Still 4 blocks in 54 hours.
Looking at the time since the first block of SoV that would indicate a marketshare of 1,2%
Now he probably is Lucky and I was liberal in choosing his first block as the ben benchmark but a big miner for sure. Even tho irs rented hash.

@GhostofWhitman @sjdedic Notice how he didnt say flip bitcoin but flip eth and sol. Thats a tell sign he is smarter than his portfolio would like you to believe. Still a retard tho for having a portfolio instead of being 80iq all in to bitcoin.

@sjdedic Ethereum is, and always always has been, a deceptive scam

🎬🧵VIDEO THREAD (Re-creating due to videos being corrupted) Explaining how #Ethereum is a con game to enrich the biggest #ETH holders/stakers at the expense of users 📺 #1: Pre-Sale 📺 “Not sold for speculative purposes & started decentralized” -Joe Lubin / ETH Foundation
English
I've been an Ethereum supporter since the early days and I still believe it's one of the most important pieces of infrastructure in crypto. The tech is great, my conviction hasn't changed in that respect.
But watching 9 senior researchers and key operators leave the Ethereum Foundation in 2026 alone is something I can't just ignore. People like Tim Beiko, Josh Stark, Barnabé Monnot, Trent Van Epps, Carl Beek. These people weren't just random employees at the foundation, they were the foundation.
You can call it restructuring, you can call it decentralization, whatever. But when your best people are walking out the door, that's a massive red flag regardless of what narrative you put around it.
And honestly, this whole situation just reinforces something I've been feeling for a while now. I am so tired of chain wars, ecosystem politics and spending any more time debating how to price an asset than actually evaluating the businesses being built on top of it.
I don't want to argue about L1 vs L2. I don't want to pick sides in some tribal war between ecosystems. I just want to back exceptional founders building real businesses with real revenue, real users and real products.
Hyperliquid recently flipping Solana is another great example of how a great product and distribution can organically build an ecosystem top down, rather than trying to force it from the ground up.
The infrastructure circle jerk and the idealistic cypherpunk phase of selling delusional dreams in crypto was great and fun, but it's over. The next decade will be dominated by much sharper founders building real businesses, and I wouldn't be surprised if we see some of these even flip ETH and SOL as they continue to bleed out.
Time to grow up and play real games with real people.
