A 145 IQ isn’t that crazy, like 1 in 1200 people. About the same frequency as someone transitioning. But an intellectual deficiency is defined as 30 points lower than frame of reference, which is normally 100. For someone at 145, about 84% of humanity is at least 30 points lower. And in your day to day life, you’re not gonna run into that other 16% often So if one of them was the reference point, like Not Sure in Idiocracy, then this is already idiocracy. “Ignorance is bliss” isn’t just a saying, being intelligent fucking sucks.
