Your high IQ will kill your startup
- jister 16y agoone should be smart not intelligent.
- mquander 16y agoThat's quite a flamebait title for something that is just reiterating the classic "hard work counts" theme.
- noodle 16y agoi'd point out that this is pretty common for his posts.
- zackattack 16y agoI agree, but look at how many comments on the post. Perhaps there are some parallels to selling to customers, what matters not is what you have, what matters is how you color it?
- shadowfox 16y agoUntil the buyers catch on
- dkarl 16y agoI think he just wanted us all to know that the article would be relevant to us.
- hugh3 16y agoFlatter and insult your audience in one sentence: it's the greatest attention-grabbing trick since... I dunno, boobs.

- RBerenguel 16y agoI wasn't aware of it... HN should give a hint of resubmitted content as Reddit does :/

- vermontdevil 16y agoIt pays to be smart eh?
- DeusExMachina 16y agoI look for the direct link, in case the title was changed: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=site%3Anews.ycombinator.com+http%3A%2F%2Fblog.cubeofm.com%2Fyour-high-iq-will-kill-your-startup&btnG=Search&cts=1279789217604&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai= http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=site%3Anews.ycombin...
- RBerenguel 16y agoI'll try to remember doing it from now on. I always thought HN had a "no duplicates" search like reddit does. I was wrong.
- antidaily 16y agoSo will too many fap breaks or a bad meth habit.
- joegaudet 16y agoThis was already posted, debated. It was part of a two week session of people posting about how being smart was a detriment to one's ability to be successful.... I suspect there are many smart / successful people who do not agree.
- lleger 16y agoThe title of this article is absolutely irrelevant to the actual arguments presented therein. He never argues that a high IQ will kill your startup. He only argues that not working and avoiding problems could lead to the destruction of your startup. Which, of course, is patently obvious, even to someone who isn't intelligent at all. A high IQ won't ever kill your startup; being a highly intelligent person can only help you. Don't be so sensational with your titles.
