    I find it hard to believe someone can recognize patterns well enough to do well on an IQ test could also be so stupid as to not realize everyone hates him and just wants his money.

      I mean for what its worth emotional intelligence (recognizing everyone hates you and just wants your money) is a whole different thing. That said, I’m pretty sure he’s just an idiot in general too. Maybe smarter than the average person, but certainly not three standard deviations smarter.

      I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s actually just kind of dumb, but humans are really bad at recognizing patterns relating to ourselves. There’s a reason therapists see other therapists, for example.
