Nobody believes 100% blank state. The debate is about the percentage.

Also intelligence (as measured by IQ) is not linearly correlated with success. After a certain point the higher IQ you have the less likely you are to be successful.

Being much smarter than the people around you must feel very isolating. The expectations placed on you since you are a child can't be easy to deal with either.

Thankfully I'm too stupid to have any of those problems.
