Comments on the Neuroscience: “The Young and the Bureau” post have gone beyond bizarre. Frostyboy has outed himself as having an IQ of 138. He's a jenius! Since his admission he has been quite happy to pontificate to his mental underlings on the pros and cons of being a brainiac. Sample slice:

But I should add that having a high IQ is not necessarily beneficial in all ways as Scott correctly noted. For example you are generally less social because you tend lack interest in common simple things. You are also more troubled with the big questions and just questions in general.

Pathetic.

I'm sorry Frostie. No way you have an IQ of 138. Not with this dimwitted, disorganized prose:

And so forget “IQ” as it is currently defined as ant kid of a concrete complete definition (which I am ABSOLUTELY not arguing for) – but the point I am making is about “individual intelligence” however that is correctly or best defined- but that definition must allow within it for the possibility that an individual could come up with or see a better definition than what is currently defined sociologically.

I'm just not getting a high IQ vibe off that.

(Not to mention that most of what you state about IQ, and the characteristics of persons with high IQs, is incorrect.)
