A possibility: People with high IQs notice patterns (with a higher fidelity) that are not noticed by people with lower IQs.
Thinking in terms of a bell-curve probabilistic distribution: If there is a baseline cultural perception (reality, narrative) shared by the majority of people, those with high IQs will notice the degenerate patterns, hypocrisies, and general systemic issues with the baseline.
One would need to live with these forces out of one's control. There are many strategies. Some involve exploiting information asymmetries, some involve creating a worldview (i.e. ethics, facts) that justifies these issues, some involve taking actions to improve the conditions of the individual & collective.
If one creates a personal worldview that is full of contradictions & unresolved paradoxes, then anxiety occurs.
