When an IQ goes over 140, tha is now 3 standard deviations from the average, what do you think their mental state evolves to?

I've always thought three standard deviations above the mean was a 145 on the Stanford Binet scale. Anyway, I have a 153, and I wouldn't use "clarity" to describe my mental state. I think, if anything, it brings a sense of humility: realization that there is much that we don't know, perhaps can never know, and that limits us, yet acts as the driving force for inquiry. I don't think true "clarity" can ever be achieved.
Well, then you are wasting 50 of the supposed points you have, because you are wrong.
I'd love to know the basis for that. This is precisely my point, in fact: you think you know things, and can pontificate accordingly, while I admit that admission to incontrovertible uncertainty is not shameful. Now, if you're speaking of clarity vis-a-vis others, you may have a point.
I agree with progressivedem22 on this subject. I have a 120 and I do feel a sense of clarity, though it is not complete and I feel there are more matters I ought to put higher-level thinking toward.
