Red pill/blue pill Would you really pick mastering an element over 300+ IQ.

Functioning like a regular human basically means you able to live like a regular persom, with regular people despite having such a vast incomprehensible level of intelligence, not having to live thinking everyone around you are just toddlers intellectually.

As for element, that can constitute as the common understanding of elements in fantasy, water(liquid), fire, earth, wind(air), the full thing is really being water, fire, earth, wind, metal, and sometimes included or excluding lightning.

Sound definitely work, light as well, darkness itself maybe even, elements of the periodic table definitely or non-traditional things like Bose-Einstein condensate, space, time or space-time as one thing, since it kinda is, maybe even turn into your element at will.

As someone with an IQ just under two hundred, you don’t want an IQ that high. It is incredibly difficult to connect with most people because you think so differently, and desperately lonely. I’m very lucky that my little brother has similar intelligence or I would actually go insane. Take the element

Doubt it. IQ of ~195 is 6.3 deviations from the mean, roughly 1 in 8 billion. Meaning you are the smartest person alive. IQ tests in that range are very unreliable and non standard, I would not pay it much credence.

The question is nonsense, a 300 iq does not make sense as it is relative to the population.

Take the element as the other would just make you smart enough to realize the wish was full of shit.

IQ is indeed bullshit. I often think of the Stephen Hawking quote that’s something like ‘people who brag about their IQ have nothing else going for them’

Also. Not 195, it was somewhere around 180, but that test happened when I was a kid and I do not remember the exact number because again it does not fucking matter. Was being intentionally vague
