The paradox is that the dumbest people I can recall are actually people with a high IQ, or at least supposed to have a high one

Now maybe it has to do with expectations, like you don't expect an obvious dumbass to be bright and when you meet an engineer for instance you expect him to be brighter than the said obvious dumbass, and it's kind of a shock when he turns out to be dumber than the obvious dumbass...

So there's probably some of that

Thing is, one can't be both at the oven and at the mill at the same time, and humans have a limited lifespan and there are only 24 hours in a day

So? So that's how you get triple boosted electric engineers voting joe biden because orange man bad

Took a look at this guy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIec1ozsahA

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%C3%A9dric_Villani

Cédric Patrice Thierry Villani (French: [se.dʁik pa.tʁis tje.ʁi vi.la.ni]; born 5 October 1973) is a French politician and mathematician working primarily on partial differential equations, Riemannian geometry and mathematical physics. He was awarded the Fields Medal in 2010, and he was the director of Sorbonne University's Institut Henri Poincaré from 2009 to 2017. As of September 2022, he is a professor at Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques.

Looks like some smart ass motherfucker, right? Super IQ and shit

Well in reality he has the political maturity of a teenager. Why? Because when you spend your entire life studying math, you aren't studying something else, simple as that

He was elected as a member of La République En Marche! (LREM), but in May 2020 left the party to form a new party, Ecology, Democracy, Solidarity (EDS).[5][6] Following the dissolution of EDS, Villani joined Ecology Generation, and ran for re-election under the banner of the NUPES.[7]

He's a complete leftist, a french demotard essentially, he joined macron's party, and then created his own stupid party of tree huggers, and then he joined a coalition of woktards and commies

How dumb?

And look at him, it's a little shit

domestication makes any animal dumb.

They can’t help themselves. And that’s why the coyotes always lose.

Raccoons are simply criminals. And they’re not that smart.

All those people you assume must have high IQs because of their profession got there because their politics aligned with professors who then boostes their grades and promoted them to recruiters. They never had a high IQ.

Correct for politocal leaning and you will find there is a strong correleation with IQ.

Yeah there's that of course, and then there's more

A high IQ doesn't render you immune to hubris for instance, lots of fatal dumb shits are done out of hubris/misplaced/excessive pride. You have jealousy also, cowardice... Such personality traits are often enough to turn the IQ into just plain high BS

Vanity also, and a general lack of wisdom/experience. Often you'll find mathematicians showing contempt for chemists, or physicists because they deem their fields as lesser stuffs, and it's not limited to scientists, to be clear, you find that stupid elitist mindset in pretty much every field, it's often coming from specialists who only really know one thing, their stuff, and they think the rest is just secondary. And they're good at what they do, and when it comes to IQ tests they score high no problem, but they're immature

In what way does that make IQ bullshit?

Having a high IQ never meant that you don't make mistakes. It seems it is your assumptions about IQ that are wrong. You have a sort of "appeal to authority" fallacy going.

Intelligence and wisdom are different stats.
