If anyone disagrees, I’d love to hear your reasoning, because this is now stuck in my brain.
I don’t want to become stupider, but if I had the choice between finding out today that my IQ is and always has been 70 and that it is and always has been 170, I’d be much less disappointed in myself with the former. Obviously, if I could then learn how to harness it, that would be different, but it’s not like I haven’t been trying my whole life to do well and use my talents.
