Society, by statistical necessity, needs to focus on the majority. It needs to be built and designed for "the average". Society, by moral necessity, also needs to focus on the disadvantaged and disabled, helping those who cannot help themselves. But while the majority of society's resources, attention, and infrastructure is dedicated to average or below-average people, little-to-none of it is dedicated to the abnormally intelligent. And while having a high IQ is an overall net benefit in life, being a statistical intellectual freak is not without its drawbacks. Welcome to The Curse of the High IQ.

Whether you fall asleep during class, constantly ram heads with your boss, can't understand why people watch the Oscars, are an alcoholic, or are accused of having ADD, having a high IQ can be a maddening experience. What you see as the obvious solution is what the "normies" will fight against tooth and nail. Those Ds you keep getting in English? Your superior mind being held hostage by the boring and inferior mind of your teacher. And you'd like to start a family? Good luck finding an intellectual equal for a spouse. And so while the world obsesses on their own problems, no one is paying attention to the problems of the abnormally intelligent. However, that all changes now with Curse of the High IQ.

Curse of the High IQ is the first book specifically written for abnormally intelligent people. It identifies and addresses a litany of problems intelligent people face, analyzes them and provides solutions. But more importantly it aims to bring sanity to those who struggle with abnormal intelligence, especially those who are unaware they have it. So if you're constantly at odds with society, are suffering from depression or ennui, can't find any reason or agency in life, or just plain can't find any friends, consider purchasing this book.

Another Excellent Clarey Volume

I was always lead to believe that if you were smart life was easier on you. This book proved me wrong. I guess there are always challenges in life no matter where you are or who you are.

Unique subject

It is very clear that the author has libertarian leanings and bias. In fact arguably much of the book is expressing the sentiment that taxes punish success and he feels like he and all the other smart people are essentially supporting the dumb members of society through social welfare programs. It’s very egotistical, dis compassionate, and frankly not true.

The author is an economist and likes statistics. If you are familiar with economics and like arguments largely based on statistical data, then you will that about this book.

He does touch on some of the social dynamics and interactions between people of varying IQ and proposes some of his own “social theories” to more or less explain them based on his personal experience.

I found some of the personal anecdotes to be very relatable, otherwise the book reads like the ramblings and complaints of a privileged upper class white male, without a real sense of how bad others have it.

Libertarian bias

As a man with an IQ of 141 I liked it. Suffering Normies is worse than a date with a single mother. At least the latter is mildly stimulating. A 100 IQ normie brings nothing to the table. Nothing of value what so ever.

It might not make much sense to everyone, not will it seems all that nice. But that's not the point and sometimes, it's nice to know you aren't the only crazy one. So thanks Aaron, have some fish!

good read

summarized all my thoughts of the past years, really good. made me feel less alone.

perfect description of my life

It is a load of complaints and a load of arrogant preaching of the author's own agendas. Which gets tiresome quickly.

But it did make me consider how I approach the world. Hopefully I will never again be so arrogant towards my surroundings.

Made me look inward.
