     Not sure how I feel about this guy. I watched this vid, by a leftist mind you, so maybe biased. But he claims the guy has no evidence for his high IQ and a lot of the claims he makes sounds like pseudoscience quackery https://youtu.be/SDmcoYpTTbE?si=GCZLiHa4PU8Zi0m6

     @Varg @Alex_Linder Apparently he did an IQ test under a pseudonym to enter the mega society. Maybe not 195, but probably 160+, as he had done the test before. Having a high IQ doesn't mean you are really knowledgeable, just that you can figure things out faster and more efficiently (square peg in square hole). Couldn't watch it because the presenter just sounds smug and whiny.
     Not fussed about defending the guy, but I'd believe his high IQ before "patent office Einstein".
