"By some estimates" is reference to the logic that one professor scored humans on a log scale 1-5 and Einstein was a 0.5, therefore some human could be a 0.1
By that same logic, there are 0.0001 or 10000. Its completely baseless.
- Houshalter 10y agoWhat are you talking about? It's based on IQ, which is a statistical measure of intelligence, normalized to fit a normal distribution. Every 15 IQ points represents exactly 1 standard deviation. Meaning more intelligent than some percentage of humans alive. So a 1,000 IQ would mean that the probability someone had been naturally born before of equal or greater intelligence would be more than 1 in a trillion trillion trillion... This is possible because genes are mixed up randomly every generation. The probability of getting the exact optimal combination of genes, out of a thousand genes which affect intelligence, is like flipping a coin and getting heads a thousand times in a row. It will never happen unless you intelligently select every gene artificially, intentionally place every coin down on heads.
