All success is a combination of talent, hard work, and luck. But having the dedication to work hard is a form of talent, and being born with talent is just luck.
@AstroDebora @elonmusk @Neuro_Skeptic 🤔 IQ is really only raw processing power – which is pretty much useless without instructions. I.e. software. What good is the ability to find all the answers, if you’re not asking the right questions?
@owenshift @elonmusk @Neuro_Skeptic “Luck” means when a (+) event occurs even though there is little chance of it happening. The probability of producing the right questions and the right schemes and then getting the right answer, increases as the quality of brain increases. So, (+) event X is more likely to happen
@AstroDebora @elonmusk @Neuro_Skeptic Yes – but “quality of brain” is not merely IQ. There are other factors that are as important, if not even more. Like information to work with/from. You can have an IQ of 200, but if you don’t speak a single word of French, you won’t be getting very far in France. For example.
@owenshift @elonmusk @Neuro_Skeptic Of course, in fact the (+) odds can only increase. They are directly proportional elements, and they themselves are more likely to occur with a higher IQ (assuming it is the best intelligence classification method). But it is logical :) (More probability does not mean certainty)
