Is there a reason why having high intelligence makes you a social retard? Any stories?
Also whaddaya think about this:
>100-110 IQ: Hard to understand science/math but easy with social interactions
>120-130 IQ: Slightly easy to understand science/math but slightly harder with social interactions
>140-150 IQ: Extremely easy to understand science/math but extremely hard with social interactions
>160-170 IQ: Almost no effort understanding science/math but utterly lost with social interactions
>180++ IQ: Brain primed for science since one day old, makes up theories/equations/formulas on the fly, but struggles being human
Intelligence and Social Ability
Wtf is this shit? Do you think that everyone who has a Phd in Math has 140-150 IQ and thus extremely hard with social interactions and thus a piss poor teacher?
Stop projecting. That's not true. Most geniouses I know have excellent math and social skills as well as being creative.
There is no correlation between high intelligence and no social skills. It is true that children with high intelligence struggles to interact with other children with a "low" intelligence. This is not because they don't have any social abilities. It is because of the intelligence gap.
Personally, a lot of friends of mine do not go to university and are actual brainlets. Every year I find it harder and harder to interact with them.

Similarly, if you watch interviews of nobel prize winners, or leading mathematicians (or any other generally-accepted 'geniuses'), it's clear that you can't generalise all of them as having no social skills whatsoever.
Ultimately it's a skill. You get used to social norms and learn to react accordingly in particular situations. With practice you'll know what's appropriate and widely-accepted; but if you don't, that's what friends and family are for.
It's just proof that high intelligence is mild autism
