I think Gates/Bernake being a standard deviation higher in IQ then Kasparov does suggest that IQ is more important for what they did then it is for chess. The ability to spend a significant amount of time training for Chess also comes with a privileged background.
Your model suggests that Bill Gates and Bernake should be taller then average. Ben Bernanke is 5-foot 8-inch while Gates is 5′ 10″. As far as Yanet goes she’s called “small lady with a large IQ” for a reason. Rumors have it that she wasn’t reappointed by Trump because Trump thought that she was too small.
We don’t have testscores for Bezos was smarter than his childhood enviroment given that he was valedictorian and with 5′ 7″ he’s smaller then his brother.
How do you think your model that predict those people to be talled should be updated based on the prediction of them being tall not representating reality?
How do you explain that being born into wealth correlates with IQ? I think the best explanation is that high IQ parents are more likely to be economically successful. All the points to being taller better facial symmetry don’t explain Jewish wealth which is best explained by intelligence being economically useful. If you don’t believe that explanation what’s your alternative?
Also, my claim is not that humans don’t fetishize or value intelligence, my claim is that this fetish specifically pretains to “intelligence of people that are similar enough to me”.
I think the thing you call fetishing intelligence is fetishing things like being good at chess or go where IQ isn’t very central while at the same time ignoring that it’s central for other domains. Thinking of Go/Chess as high intelligence activities is part of a certain stereotype and that stereotype is not helpful but it’s distinct from IQ being useful.
