Intelligence would be a prerequisite of competence. It's hard for stupid people to be capable.
It's one of the prerequisites.
It's indeed hard for stupid people to be capable, but if you think there's much variation that translates to competence after the 115-125ish range, you're kidding yourself, just like everyone else that likes to stroke themselves over their brain ratings.
The ability to act should be much more prized, but we live in an ego-stoking bubble of "I'm smarter than that person, at least", which, somehow, more people don't realize is a problem.
It's one of the prerequisites.
I said that. I called it "a prerequisite" not "the prerequisite". In the sidebar of this sub I mention that it's important to think about more than IQ. I don't think we disagree much, it's more that you assume I'm narrowly focused on IQ.
Alright, I think we reached a pretty fair conclusion.
I do realize I push too far sometimes, if that's of any interest to you.
Don't get me wrong, I don't think I'm all that smart or anything. In fact, I cherish the potential for becoming smarter. It's much more than relieving knowing there's swarms of people out there that are smarter than me and I think only a fool could ever avoid coming to such a realization.
