Why are smart people left wing?

https://mpcdot.com/forums/topic/56-the-stupidity-of-intelligence/

tl;dr
>In short, a high IQ is very effective for solving novel problems (in engineering, math, language, and so on) and will therefore tend to be employed in other domains. However, a cognitive strategy that is useful for dealing with novelties in a narrow or closed system is an impediment when confronting longstanding social and psychological challenges that are too complex for this approach and for which mankind has evolved solutions over thousands of years of practice. The result is that a high IQ elite may not only err but err systematically, and by doing so bring about catastrophic social policy.

It's why intellectuals have generally tended to endorse socialism counter to the real world evidence of its repeated failings

Educated doesn't equal smart

>>139816453
There is a saying, usually said in martial arts, that one "knows enough to get in trouble."

Intelligence is a concept we don't have categorized. Remember, the IQ metric is a social science, it's garbage based in subjectivity. Many other claims of intelligence have shoddy bases, such as degree ownership. Most degree owners, particularly bachelor's degree owners simply demonstrate a willingness to jump through hoops or do as they are told. Furthermore, most STEM majors I have met have a poor grasp on logic and linguistic philosophy, a very sad and ironic reality. Start an argument on the /sci/ board if you don't believe me, you'll quickly encounter fallacious reasoning.

Most of the people I've met in life where I've been legitimately impressed by their intelligence don't care about politics, or if they do they care about them similar to how someone else might care about a sports team.

Smart people assume their ability to understand things, and to control things. The moderately intelligent routinely underestimate chaotic systems.

It's why /pol/ swung an election despite the average poster being largely retarded. They also are not, by virtue of their intelligence, any more resistant to basic human failings. Namely, ego, echo chambers, confirmation bias, and other fun things.

You might also ask why it is that smart people often fail at relationships. Chaotic systems without clear cut lines from cause to effect, where there are innumerable feedback loops, are like cancer to the intelligent. In situations where understanding the system is extremely difficult, if not impossible, heuristics and "rules of thumb" are more effective than the most complex theories.

And this is reflected in the successes AND failings of different ideologies. You might consider it a sort of cross-disciplinary Dunning-Kreuger effect. Basically a smart person is extremely smart at a given category. People respect him or her. They are(correctly) confident in their ability to reason, and their intelligence. Then they try to apply their intelligence to things that they are not smart at, because they believe their intelligence is transferrable. While some intelligence can be transferred between topics, much of it isn't.

Take a look at the history of science. Look at the great minds. And look at their *failings*. Being intelligent doesn't mean shit if you lose sight of your failings because of it.

>>139814244

smart people hang around (((smart people))). they graduate from elite schools that are taught by (((smart people))) and live within the same bubbles.

I have an IQ 2 standard deviations above average and I've always been right wing. Libertarian, then Ron Paul style Republican, now Trump supporter mostly for his views on grabbing pussy and trolling libtards.

the "smart" people in the public eye are the ones seated in kike-run universities that push the approved agenda

>>139814244
Because people either say fuck it or tell the other people what to do. The smarter thing is the first thing

>>139814244

That is because we are capable of seeing the larger context of political and social issues. Meanwhile, simpletons always play to identity politics, victim complexes and other low-hanging fruit, all designed to appeal to emotions, to distract us from the real problems in life. Traditionally, political ideologies have been presented on a straight line but I think it's more of a circle which explains why far-right and far-left proponents share so many of the same tactics and grievances.

>>139816871
>Chaotic systems without clear cut lines from cause to effect, where there are innumerable feedback loops, are like cancer to the intelligent.
I don't believe this for a second. This is what I mean when I say "intelligence is a concept we don't have categorized."

I consider someone who is incapable of handling dynamic systems to be lacking in an area of intelligence. Perhaps they are good at copying the routines of a static system, but I don't believe this reflects overall "intelligence", which is why I can't take any metrics such as IQ seriously(other than it's subjective bases). I am of the opinion that many people who had significant impacts in science and technology throughout history as well as impacts upon history itself through leadership were skilled in handling or surveying dynamic systems, and that people who are skilled with static systems have mostly pulled the deadweight and done the busy work.

>>139814244

They are considered "smart" because they are able to remember well and quote famous people. However they lack essence, which is information acquired on their own, they do not question anything, and are dependent on others to progress. They critisize, but doesn't do better. They are like zombies, and they are unaware that their mind is in a sleep-like state.

My grandfather actually explained to me how political correctness and Marxism were pushed into mainstream universities in the 1950's and 60's.

Yes, I hate to say it but these people were all literally Jews.

Quite literally abunch of socialist Marxist Jews fled Germany and infested Columbia.

Pt. 1
>Gramsci's cultural Marxism began to reach throughout society when Frankfurt University's Institute for Marxism -- renamed the Institute for Social Research and informally called the Frankfurt School -- fled Nazi Germany, took up temporary residence at Columbia University in 1933, and then, during World War II, began using Gramsci-derived "critical theory" to "deconstruct" American society. German-born philosopher-writer Herbert Marcuse and other Marxists carried cultural Marxism beyond Columbia, and progressives adopted the disease as a weapon of "change" to be deployed within the education system

>In the mid-1950s, Marcuse drove political correctness to new depths, proclaiming it unacceptable to criticize any manner of sexual behavior. Marcuse's Eros and Civilization urged people to engage in "perversions" to soften the sting of capitalism's alleged enslavement. The new and improved political correctness became a darling of progressive education schools, rounded out the arsenal aimed at mainstream America, and ushered in early-childhood sex education that facilitates premature and unhealthy sexual experimentation.

>Since the 1960s, Gramsci's ghost has been creeping throughout education schools on the backs of the rabid academic herd. A list of ideological progeny reads like a "Who's Who" of collectivist ideologues: Pentagon bomber William Ayers, anti-homework and anti-competition preacher Alfie Kohn, America-hater Noam Chomsky, communist Van Jones, and progressive Bible-thumper George Lakoff, to name a few. Education, social studies, and literature curricula burst with gibberish on social, environmental, and climate justice as well as multiculturalism, diversity, moral relativism, and moral equivalence -- all derived in some way from cultural Marxism.

Eh. I sort of base my view on established research. Dunning Kruger is pretty much verifiable, and multiple intelligence theory is pretty well established as well. We're not exactly great at measuring intelligence, but certain categories(like mathematical/logical) are very easy to measure.

We can see by studies that there are different types of intelligence, and even if we can't measure them well we can see enough to know they are not necessarily related.

So I sort of reject your statement. You're right there is no truly hard science on the topic, but there's a lot of soft science which has passed the reproduceability test.

No, but as the average genetic quality of people declines the society as a whole declines. Dumber workers, more need for healthcare per person, stuff like that.

Leftists are smart enough to identify problems that need fixing, but can't separate their emotions enough to come up with correct solutions. Right wingers can identify the problem and fix it correctly, but lack the emotion needed for effective advocacy, so they just look bad and their ideas never come to fruition.

90% of people are still apolitical and just vote for whoever their parents voted for, though.

If there's smart people on the progressive side it has nothing to do with their intelligence, it just means that they aren't satisfied with the direction the institutions are currently taking. It's an ethical matter it isn't rational and has nothing to do with IQ.

But yeah it's normal you see it that way, the left isn't as clearly defined as the right since it clusters all the subgroups which aren't satisfied with the current direction of the institutions, even if socialists are overrepresented there's no core to tie all the subgroups together other than "it's shit we want something else".

>> New tests are produced regularly so certain countries IQ remains at 100

The problem with being an idiot is that you confuse statistics with facts and facts with statistics. Facts are rational, i.e. they represent a reliable amount of work required to understand a thing. Facts.

Statistics are best guesses of things we think are true if the stats support them being true by a given margin. Math, and more specifically, math probability is used to calculate these chances. In as much as people will eventually realize a coin flips heads 50% of the time, they will eventually come to realize that a more complex statistic isn't really a "truth" when talking about an individual (like a black human), even if they are in a group where the statistics support that behavior.

In other words, stupid lazy fat white fucks don't bother to learn how maths work and would rather blame and speak for others than have to get up and find a pencil.

There is no logic in this argument. They haven't "discovered" anything because they haven't procured any facts, only opinions based off of observations, because that's all you can do with social science.

Inflation is observed phenomena. Make a statement on it and it's an opinion. This is how social science works, ironically it's you who doesn't understand it.

So when a sociologist makes links between family structure and educational, financial and social outcomes thats just opinion?

>Inflation is observed phenomena. Make a statement on it and it's an opinion. This is how social science works, ironically it's you who doesn't understand it.
So all social sciences apart from economics?

Continental philosophy is largely right wing. Also, there are plenty of modernist and post-modernist right wing authors, not sure why you pretend that these movements are politically homogeneous.

>>139824464
this.

Educated does not = smart
They know only what they've been taught. They're just a drone class in society that have been led to believe that due to their 100k educations their political and social leanings are more validated. Their education on these things consisted of a 4 year string of feel bad videos and books written by smarter people imposing their will onto them. They are lambs that believe they are right and free because they walk a green pasture. They see no shepherd and hear no whispers behind the curtains of the globalist show. I don't pity them because they are incapable of feeling or thinking outside their worlds. This new bred middle class has been groomed from childhood to be liberal. Its ironic.

Left leaners are entities who are OK with unknown amounts of work being required to understand a given thing, and work toward representing that irrationality with concepts that hide the complexity. Think willing to commit to liberal amounts of work for less reward. Group behavior is primarily rational.

Right leaners are entities who are OK with known amounts of work being required to understand a given thing, and work toward representing that rationality with concepts that boast of complexity. Think willing to commit to less work but looking for larger reward. Group behavior is primarily irrational.

In practice, entities who prefer communicating with others about decisions of the self-identified group tend to ratchet themselves toward the far left or far right of a given group due to feedback loops in comms. Confirmation bias plays a part then, given the conversations being held are also contributing to the feedback.

There's not much that can be done to fix this, so the solution has simply been to let it run its course when it happens. Lots of people die, people realize they've been lazy thinkers, and then another revolution happens and it starts all over again.

Evidently some have drunk themselves to death upon this realization.

I'm glad. /pol/ is always disturbing at first, until you get a feel for it.

After a while, you're redpilled, and the world makes a lot more sense.

>>139823801
Yeah, well, good for you for clarifying. I was just ranting at the universe, not you. Should have said "global you".

Because smart people tend to be massive pussies who can't compete against strong people

Yes. Correlation is not causation. It is their opinion that there is a link. This is what social science is, and proper social science doesn't even pretend to be objective. It's a placeholder for future hard sciences such as neurology and sociological sciences based in genetics, the same that astrology was a placeholder for cosmology and alchemy for chemistry.

>So all social sciences apart from economics?
What? Economics is not a hard science. You're confusing data with theories.

>>139823896
lol

If we just passively redpill ourselves through ideas, but don't take any action on it other than voting for our preferred candidates and convincing others, would that be enough?

>>139824738
>Yes. Correlation is not causation. It is their opinion that there is a link
Would you say the same for inflation?

After all there's no solid causal link between money supply and inflation rate, its just been postulated by economic theory and research that this is the case.

>What? Economics is not a hard science. You're confusing data with theories.
Its a social science:

>>139825113
Yes, obviously that is unfalsifiable as causation, as there are other potential causes for inflation where it occurs. Do you understand the difference between subjectivity and objectivity? You're literally arguing against yourself at this point.

Yes, economics is a social science, which cannot procure falsifiable theories. This is what separates it from hard science.

>>139814244
They aren't. "Educated" people tend to be left wing. Intelligent =/= Educated. Universities are indoctrination camps for the left. It's not surprising they leave with predominantly leftist ideas. There are equally, and often more, intelligent people on the right. Either way, intelligence doesn't mean you possess morals. Einstein was a self proclaimed socialist and thus lacked any understanding of theft and the idea that "just because you want someone else's money doesn't mean you get to have it".

>>139825375
>Yes, obviously that is unfalsifiable as causation, as there are other potential causes for inflation where it occurs
Its the same for every science. Causation can never be proved for certain. We simply don't live in a universe where every possible factor can be controlled or even accounted for.

>>139826287
Wow so you don't know the difference between hard science and social science after all.

What makes hard science "hard" is that we can make falsifiable statements that demonstrate absolute consistency with repeated experiments.

You are literally telling me that relativity is as subjective as gender studies. What a joke. I should have just ignored you when you made an appeal to authority immediately after being called out for making an appeal to authority.

Pick one.

Lol. Anyone who comes here regularly gets slowly redpilled. That's why the radical left NEVER engages in discussion. Sending their brainwashed here is a great way to lose control of them.

>>139817626
Intellectuals don't really understand the human condition because they have had a sheltered upbringing. They always over-estimate the altruism and morality of people in their imagined scenarios, because they import avatars of people as they believe them to be not as they actually are. And that's why they always fail.

>>139828654
It's not even that. They seem actors will behave rationally in a given circumstance. Looking at human behavior for 5 seconds shows otherwise.

in other words the goodest of goys are left wing, OP the metric of intelligence your measuring by is people who spend the most time in universities, the most autonomous and complacent kind of people. Also the early iterations of the IQ test (the Terman study) where ethinically jews outperformed everyone else, found that jews are not racially superior to gentiles but rather the way society is built, through the education system enables them to perform better than everyone else. So right wingers are correct to say that the system is rigged against their favour.
