A Mafia Godfather finds out that his bookkeeper, Enzo, has cheated him out of 10 million bucks. His bookkeeper is deaf, that was the reason he got the job in the first place. It was assumed that Enzo would hear nothing that he might have to testify about in court. When the Godfather goes to confront Enzo about his missing $10 million, he takes along his lawyer who knows sign language. The Godfather tells the lawyer, "Ask him where the 10 million bucks is that he embezzled from me." The lawyer, using sign language, asks Enzo where the money is. Enzo signs back, "I don't know what you are talking about." The lawyer tells the Godfather, "He says he doesn't know what you are talking about." The Godfather pulls out a pistol, puts it to Enzo's temple and says, "Ask him again!" The lawyer signs to Enzo, "He'll kill you if you don't tell him." Enzo signs back, "OK. You win! The money is in a brown briefcase, buried behind the shed in my cousin Bruno's backyard in Woodbridge !" The Godfather asks the lawyer, "What did he say?" The lawyer replies, " He says you don't have the balls to pull the trigger."

I hope Rando is doing well, I wonder what that G is up to these days

Mind if I bum a dewarette?👀

These scam texts are getting insane lmao

A high-IQ population can threaten a government, but not in the cartoon sense of rebellion or violence. The threat is structural and incentive-based, not kinetic. From first principles, governments rely on three things: • Legibility • Narrative control • Compliance at scale A population with higher average cognitive ability stresses all three. How the threat actually manifests: • Reduced narrative capture. High-IQ populations are better at detecting contradictions, incentive mismatches, and rhetorical sleight of hand. Propaganda degrades faster. • Model competition. People generate alternative explanations and frameworks instead of inheriting the state’s. Competing maps emerge. • Lower deference to authority. Credentials and office matter less than coherence and results. This weakens bureaucratic insulation. • Increased coordination capacity. High cognition improves network formation, information compression, and parallel problem solving. Coordination becomes cheaper and faster. • Exit over voice. Rather than protest, high-IQ populations tend to route around systems: capital flight, brain drain, parallel institutions, cryptography, off-grid solutions. Importantly: this is more dangerous to administrative states than to minimalist ones. Why most governments quietly prefer average cognition: • Predictable compliance • Slower detection of policy failure • Higher tolerance for symbolic solutions • Greater trust in procedural legitimacy This is why historically: • Education is often standardized, not optimized • Creativity is encouraged rhetorically but punished structurally • Intelligence is rewarded only when it reinforces the system, not when it questions it Now the key nuance. A high-IQ population is not automatically destabilizing. It becomes threatening only when: • Intelligence is paired with independence • People can compare models globally • Exit costs are low • Coordination tools exist • Enforcement legitimacy weakens High IQ + high dependency = technocracy High IQ + autonomy = pluralism High IQ + constraint + hypocrisy = regime stress Modern technology accelerates this because: • Information asymmetry collapses • State narratives compete with global ones • Enforcement becomes visible • Alternatives become practical, not theoretical The real threat is not intelligence itself. It is uncontrolled sense-making. Governments survive when they monopolize meaning. They destabilize when meaning becomes open-source.
