It is patently untrue that people who are distant in intelligence cannot talk meaningfully together. This kind of communication occurs all the time. For instance, when leading politicians talk to voters, psychiatrists talk to their patients, judges talk to juries, police investigators talk to witnesses and suspects.

The author of this article is a moron. I do mean that quite literally. An intelligent person would understand the difference in structure between an argument (premise-evidence-conclusion) and an assertion (no evidence).

Citing prison guards talking to prisoners as an example of "meaningful communication" is akin to describing me talking to my dog as "meaningful communication". The furry little mouthbreather barely understands simple commands.

As for the example of politicians communicating with voters, anyone who has ever worked on campaign strategy, communications, marketing, etc knows how absurd this is. Most voters are barely literate glue eaters. You have to take great pains to remove reason, evidence, law, and words beyond a third grade level to communicate with them. You can't engage in meaningful communication with them because meaningful communication requires honesty. Honesty with voters is political suicide because then you'd hurt their feelings by pointing out how broke their government is, how immoral they are, and how much they'll have to suffer to improve their government.

The much referenced Jensen is entirely correct - you can't have a meaningful relationship with someone much beyond +-15-20 points. You'll have nothing in common. Imagine trying to explain a a common high IQ issue such as tax shelters to a retard who's :shockedpikachu: his car was repossessed for nonpayment. You also dont have remotely the same cultural context or education level. I can casually reference something like Macedonia being pronounced with a "k" sound, not an "s" as an example of linguistic drift, and peers will grasp it because they have at least a passing familiarity with Latin or Greek. Try having a conversation like that with an IQ 80 mouthbreather. They think Macedonia is some type of nut.
