Problem is everyone thinks they are smart and end up doing their own research. Many such people in bitcoin.

I don’t know what the solution might be. The experts you choose to listen to can be quite wrong without knowing it. Sometimes they are just forced by “commonly accepted truths of current times” to comply or be ostracized.

You can get an IQ test. People should. You don't have to do an official one with a psych, I'm sure there are things online.

But I don't think IQ is nearly as important as openness and disagreeableness.

People who don't have the chops but think they can do it... well, they get what they get. Not everybody is going to succeed in this.

I’m not sure how useful IQ would be. You can be intelligent and great at reasoning but lack information or have the wrong information and make bad decision on wrong info (probably the case for many highly intelligent people who end up being wrong about something historically).

Yes of course. But life is a game. Play hard. You won't always get everything right, but you can improve your chances.

I’m probably a mid 🤣

I’ve been around highly intelligent people and felt like an idiot.

People that write compilers make me feel like an idiot.
