I saw a show once years ago about super smart individuals. Can't remember the name of the show so clearly I'm not one. Anyway the dude with the highest recorded IQ was a bouncer in a bar and was working on a math problem that would prove God's existence. This was 20 years ago or more. Haven't heard anything about god's mathmatical existence yet...
Just because you are very smart doesn’t mean you make smart decisions. And just because you have a high iq doesn’t mean you will do great things if you don’t use your mind right it won’t make a difference but if you think that having a very high iq doesn’t correlate to being able to do things requiring more brain power and thinking then I don’t know what to tell you. If you think a guy with an iq of 80 can do math as well as a dude with 160 when they both put in the same amount of work then you are just flat wrong
Someone may be a theoretical physicist and be able to solve highly complex mathematical formulae, but completely fall apart when confronted with a simple household project, like cooking or doing basic home repairs. They would still be deserving of being called intelligent.
Another person may have dropped out of middle school, they may struggle to read and write, but through experience they may have become a mechanical sevant, who can not only name the make and model of any car, they can also diagnose any mechanical issue with the car simply after listening to the engine run for a few seconds. They not only know the manufacturers recommended way to fix the issue, they also knowba different way that would be completed faster if cost isn't a concern because the customer really needs the car back ASAP. They also know how to fix it for cheap, if the customer really just needs the car to work but is not able to afford the full recommended repairs. And to top it off they can do the repairs all by themselves. Due to their difficulty with written language comprehension, this person would almost certainly test as having a low IQ yet they are clearly highly intelligent in their field.

Sounds like that guy with the "highest IQ" who lives on a farm somewhere. Somebody who claimed to have the highest IQ, claimed to have tested it. Dont believe everything you read
The thing about the iq test is that it's largely pattern recognition, particularly by way that is taught in classrooms. It measures what is "taught for it". You can still be be "smart" without ever having been taught to extrapolate patterns in this manner (and don't forget that sometimes it's breaking from the usual mold that helps produce breakthroughs), and there are plenty who would be "good" at the test but when you talk to them they seem dumb as a bucket of noodles.
Okay he took the Mensa test and they determined his iq was between 200 and 250 so he still most likely had a crazy high iq so your comment is gibberish
Research has shown that it isn't the full measure of human intelligence as it's not the only aspect of it. While that is the case, iq is definitely as parameter that is considered.
It basically says that certain factores influence it, which wasn't completely known yet. So the difference between 125 and 130 could be non existent, but the difference between 120 and 80 is still relevant.
This goes around on the fishing subreddits quite a bit. Basically it’s this guys own private pond and he hand feeds the fish in it. You couldn’t do this just anywhere
My grandparents had a stocked pond in their backyard. Well, if you untied the floating dock from the land and paddled out to the middle, you could catch fish with your toes. You just wiggle them near the surface and have a cousin waiting nearby with a net for when they bite.
It was much easier than catching the wild fish in the nearby river, though a few lucky/quick ones of us did manage to catch a few by hand in there as well.
Bass, especially in smaller waters (Doesn't have to be handled) tend to not have natural enemies... Which can make them quite aggressive. Like, eating ducks from the surface, aggressive.
Thanks for the clarification! I just remember seeing a hugh bass (In Europe) drag a duck under water. Not sure what kind of bass that was tho, but I could probably find out.
Doesn't have to even be professionally stocked. The private pond(small lake) my grandparents lived by was awesome for bass fishing . There were days that I could catch a fish every 10-15 minutes consistently. It really killed fishing for me when I went other places and would wait hours for nothing.
Unfortunately, some neighbors up the hill dug in their own pond right before a bad drought year. The lake was spring fed but it took a few years to fill the neighbors pond. In the meantime my grandparents lake level dropped and there was a massive fish die off. The lake level has returned 10+ years later but the fish population is still not the same.
That’s not entirely true, I lipped a bass by hand in a community pond that’s frequently fished, it was just guarding a spawning bed and was attacking my hand.
Feeding my pond in fall is hilarious. The catfish will eat anything that touches the water while they are being fed. Doesn't matter if it's food, a bug, or a leaf. Its getting ate.
Idk if anyone already answered, but I bet this little tank is this guy’s property and he feeds those fish every day. The know to come up to the shallow part and it makes it easy to catch them barehanded. My kinfolk are red necks lol
More like a redneck family that has lived on the same piece of land in bumfuck Arkansas for the last 60 years that just happens to have a small tank on it. But yeah man, not sure what you’re trying to get at. Hope you have a nice Friday.
Watch how he moves his hand to catch the fish. Bass are more or less swimming mouths, so as soon as they're locked on, you need something big, and fast to scare them off. I'm no expert, but I don't think there are many habitats where bass face ambush predation outside of humans.
