No! It's not bullshit. It is a measurable human trait that is correlated to a wide range of life outcomes. It might actually be the most correlatable human trait there is.

Yes, some of those life outcomes are good and some of those life outcomes are bad. That doesn't make it bullshit.

What it most often means, if you have a high IQ, is that you have a choice and more often many choices, because you can see more choices and it's overwhelming and it's easy to give up and say fuck it all this is bullshit and SWE (I am so embarrassed to say I had to look up SWE even though I am a software engineer and one of the SWEs was smoke weed every day, ha!)

Which brings me to my point! If you have high IQ, you can be a SWE or SWE.

You know what I mean??

Extraordinary height is neither necessary nor sufficient to be in the NBA, yet here we are. They are just strongly correlated.
