What's great about this greentext is it is mixture of truth and made up bullshit.

The temporal changes thing is real, however. That's a legit thing you can use to figure out, in general, if someone is sub-90 IQ. Try the breakfast/lunch question on people you know who are shortsighted and seem to be unable to plan very well. It's legit. It's hilarious to watch them struggle. "How would your day be different if you ate oatmeal instead of eggs for breakfast?" Or, "If you skipped your lunch, what would you have done differently in your day?" This is VERY fun. It works.

Most of that other stuff? It's nonsense. It's no legit IQ stuff. Except for the recursion thing...

For example, there are IQ70 people who seem to be able to handle math and planning just fine but appear to lack empathy. Not because they are psychopaths, they cannot simulate another person's feelings in their mind. It's just "broken." They are too stupid to be able to do that. It's like some parts of their brain are intelligent and others are not. Because intelligence is multifaceted. It's not all this or that like the greentest author makes it seem.

In other situations, mentally handicap people can have normal or even above average emotional intelligence. But be very poor with classic IQ test puzzles or planning. Because those are sometimes "separate" things in brain processing for people. Sure, intelligent people can compensate for their low EQs by simply being smarter about it (memorizing patterns of behavior, reactions, expressions, and then understanding how those translate to emotions and reading those emotions as opposed to innately or intuitively knowing those things like a person with a high EQ would know).

Hope that helps.

What would really get the "goat" of that green text author is knowing many of those supposedly low-IQ criminals fully understanding their actions but still not caring. This is MOST of them. Not 50% like he implied. MOST criminals fully understand that if they do something bad, it will harm someone. They fully understand that their actions hurt others. But they don't give a shit! "I wanna get mines." That's the stupid shit they say. It's selfishness. It's not low-IQ. I also got to work with inmates. Most are normal everyday people that just got caught doing something the rest of us do or they made a stupid mistake such as getting into 1 too many drunken fights.
