Ok, so Taleb's argument was: > “IQ” is a stale test meant to measure mental capacity but in fact mostly measures extreme unintelligence (learning difficulties), as well as, to a lesser extent (with a lot of noise), a form of intelligence, stripped of 2nd order effects Right before the conclusion, the author shows us this chart comparing incomes in IQ cohorts: https://www.jsmp.dk/posts/2019-06-16-talebiq/iq_files/figure-html5/unnamed-chunk-20-1.png https://www.jsmp.dk/posts/2019-06-16-talebiq/iq_files/figure... Maybe it's because I'm not a high-IQ, R-programming brain-genius, but it seems like the low-IQ distribution has a very distinct shape with a low mean and leftward skew, whereas the mid and high-IQ distributions look pretty similar, with a modest advantage to the high-IQ cohort. That seems to confirm Taleb's claim that IQ mostly measures unintelligence, and has a much smaller impact on the higher end.
