Half of all people have an IQ of under 100, I find many of them to be fine folks.
The bulk of the population falls between 90 and 110. I have the worst problems with the upper end, educated but petty. They are the cultural bullies, smart enough to rise but but not very high. since they are superior to the bulk of the population, they become little tyrants. In their own domain they are the irate office manager, out in the world they are rude to clerks, waitresses, and make messes so lesser people will have to clean up after them. They are loud and obnoxious, as a sign of their high estate, as they have no cultural peers, they have pulled themselves out of the hive of mutual affermation, and show superority by violating hive custom.
They have been left behind by a point or two, 110 to 120 are Doctors, Lawyers, Professors, Engineers, and they just missed the jump. They rule in hell, but not as King, only top sargent, the toughest of the underworld. They have won the isolation of an aspie, and without a clue, without limits, and express themselves badly. They are cut off from those below and above. They lack the natural graces of an aspie, they do feel, they do care, and it drives them nuts.
People with an IQ above 120, are of no use to this world, like those below 80, some kind of a sheltered workshop is in order. Thinking too much is as bad as not thinking, some play dumb and become Professionals, but most are hopeless. They can learn anything, but who could they teach?
Like the bottom end, where words like idoit, moron, vegatable, try to sort a narrow range of a small percentage, The most functional at the top are known as #2463541 at Marion Max, the highest IQ prison in the Federal system. the best and brightest work as fry cooks in an all night diner, marry a 90 waitress, and speak the local dialect. They seem happy.
The bulk of the rest seem to be AS, who having lost their natural cultural roll of village idiot, with the decline of villages, are like a country boy standing on the side walk in Times Square at lunch time. Standing slack jawed as the world with a purpose swirls around them, and pushes them out of the way. The Bumpkin tries to make sense of it. The AS have a problem with "Figuring it out," when there is nothing to figure out, it is the way it is. They are smart enough to avoid being trampled, and as soon as they are safe, they start complaing about being isolated, not understanding, and being stressed from trying.
I cannot spell it, but stars above a size, I recall 1.44 of stellar mass, will go Nova. It is the same with brains, overclocking the processor causes limbs to move in eddy currents, the processor uses all memory, which makes multiprocessing impossible. When multi-tasking becomes impossible because of a feedback loop between CPU and memory, other systems lock up like Windows 95. The engine is redline, but the tranny is in neutral. It will scream till the tank runs dry.
Mine builds up over a day, so I sleep twice a day, before it over revs, I also have to shut down AOL several times a day to dump the files. If I push it, it will jam, just as I am bidding on ebay. The Pi man has tea, three times a day, at exact times. Ritual, The Islamic world prays five times a day, stop, purge, restart. I am a very honest person, but I have lied to computers about what year it was, so they would run expired ink cartridges.
Several types of breaks trick the clock into resetting. Under the passenger side seat is the computer, run a jumper from terminal #7 to #23, and it will reset to default. Open the case, you will find a camera battery in the laptop, it keeps time in memory when the machine is off, remove the camera battery, and the main battery, then replace them, your laptop will quit having nightmares.
I do not get out much, machines are my friends, I learned to repair myself from them.
