What does it say about me that I'm getting better at filtering those kinds of noises? Not that they don't bother me at all, but that I'm better at not letting them completely throw me like they used to.

There's a distinction to be made between developing mental discipline and simply not actually having the mental capacity to deal with minor problems.

Tolerating them when they're outside your control = good

Tolerating them when they're within your control = bad

That's how I see it anyhow.

First 2 are obvious but something like dog barking you'll often see low-IQ people not bother dealing with whereas high IQ people don't tolerate their dog barking without very good reason.

It says that you're not a self righteous autistic leaning into sensory intolerance and confusing it for intelligence.

You know what is an actual, proven sign of low IQ? Being unable to filter background noise and focus on a specific sound, specifically voices in noisy environments. The higher the IQ, the better people usually perform noise filtering tests.

That's not what this post is about. Being able to filter information and tolerating unnecessary noise aren't the same thing.

They even made up a word for it (misophonia) so they could be victims of a special disease instead of just being autistic.

Misophonia is an extreme dislike of certain sounds, not an inability to filter out noise from audio signal.

Just to steelman them, it makes more sense if you presume that was directed at my first statement rather than the second.

autistic leaning into sensory intolerance and confusing it for intelligence.

Not that I think misophonia is usually considered a mark of intelligence, but it is a pretty subjective diagnosis and a tempting excuse to lean into sensory intolerance instead of exercising mental restraint.

Yeah, that's probably what he was referring to. And I agree getting annoyed by noises isn't a sign of intelligence, although it's probably a sign of growing up in a quiet household and society, which I expect is correlated with both education and intelligence.

Would you like to know more?

Black and brown Minnesotans get worse sleep than white people. Researchers at the University of Minnesota say it’s hurting their health.

Sleep is absolutely a determinant of health,” said Dr. Rachel Widome, an associate professor in epidemiology and community health at the University of Minnesota. “Sleep has an impact on a whole host of health outcomes from physical to mental.”

Structural racism is also a fundamental contributor to sleep disparities, Johnson said. For example, people of color are still more likely to live in neighborhoods that are not conducive to sleep, areas experts sometimes refer to as “sleep deserts.” Air pollution can cause inflammation and contribute to sleep apnea. Places with higher pollution are often close to highways and have fewer trees and sidewalks–attributes that allow people to exercise safely.

One example: In many Somali homes in the Twin Cities, smoke detectors with low batteries beep around the clock. Many believe the devices beep when they’re working properly, Abdifatah said, or that it’s the landlord’s responsibility to “fix” them. Such misinformation could be corrected with a community-wide effort.

Oh fuck off. Muh X desert.

Places with higher pollution are often close to highways and have fewer trees and sidewalks–attributes that allow people to exercise safely.

It ain't the lack of trees and sidewalks making exercise dangerous in brown neighborhoods.

In many Somali homes in the Twin Cities, smoke detectors with low batteries beep around the clock.

it’s the landlord’s responsibility to “fix” them

Most leases don't cover maintenance items like batteries or filters. That said, I know a few landlords that will throw in furnace filters for free, otherwise rentoids will use the same filter indefinitely until the HVAC system chokes to death on years of dust.

I doubt a landlord will willingly enter a Somali home to do anything, though, for obvious reasons.

Good to hear they don’t get it.

Structural racism

Doesn’t exist.

people of color are still more likely to live in neighborhoods that are not conducive to sleep

Maybe they should move. They get free rent, after all.

“sleep deserts.”

I want the person who came up with this term kept awake for 12 days straight.

Air pollution

Stop polluting it, then.

One example: In many Somali homes in the Twin Cities, smoke detectors with low batteries beep around the clock.

Maybe don’t bring subhumans incapable of comprehending modern technology into human society, then.

Such misinformation could be corrected with a community-wide effort.

Dogs can sense evil and danger. If they start barking, I check up on'em.

Last time I did, a li'l stray doggo prevented a fire by correctly alerting people to a fire in a construction site, a few more minutes and it would have hit a material dock and burnt the entire place down. Dogs are friends.

not per default. have one of those smal lil cunts that just barks and barks running up and down the street for no reason. ofc female owner. there was a law introduced recently that dogs have to be kept on a leash at all times, every single whining post about it was by a woman.

thinking of it. every time i got jumped and snapped at by a dog while runnig, woman that reprimanded it with a babyvoice, that would sound like encouragement to an animal...

Dogs do a lot for humanity, they deserve more recognition. I just watched a vid compilation of dogs protecting their master’s children from being harmed by various things, like one dog saw a book shelf falling over on a toddler and jumped in the way so he’d take the brunt of the hit instead of the toddler. I’ve seen dogs alert humans to a house fire more than once. I’ve seen dogs jump in front of wild animals that were about to harm a human, like a deer that ran at the dog’s master and he cut the damn thing off just before it ran into his owner. That kind of stuff happens somewhat frequently, they’re amazing creatures, one of the only creatures out there who is capable “unconditional love”, where they would gladly sacrifice their own life for their human friends, and will still love their owner even if he is a cruel POS to the dog.

90% of what dogs bark at is the presence of other dogs. People put their dogs in their yard and they spend all day barking at other people who are walking their dogs. It's a perpetual noise machine.

It's because they have no internal monologue and silence makes them uncomfortable. Modern foids likewise are so judaized and negrified they have to fill up silence with constant chatter, making retarded Tiktoks, and so on.

I cannot tell you how often I'll see some black dude or sometimes woman talking loudly to themselves because they have one of those Bluetooth mics on. All the mailmen here do it. Always black. Same thing with the other guy's dog example. People in the city with dogs on no leashes and invariably black.

I’ve experienced a significant uptick in black female convenience store workers FaceTiming their own friends and family while running checkout. They simply must be loudly yapping at all times. Probably where the “talking during movies” stereotype comes from, too.

If these are signs of Low IQ then for the first time ever I think they have the better deal.

Sure you should change your smoke alarm rather than get used to it, but dogs will exist and bark, as will children and rude people will forever be annoying in public. To have the ability to not become ridden with anxiety and anger at these things would be a godsend. I'd kill to be able to sleep through a dog barking two streets over, or the sound of water dripping period because its not a fun life to be the only person who hates rain.

But I don't think this is an IQ thing, almost all of this is just poor people stuff. Sure there is a lot of overlap between those two, but a high IQ child can't readily fix half this stuff but still might have to live in it just the same.

To be real, yeah, those aren't actually IQ signifiers.

What I think they do signify a combination of low conscientiousness and low neuroticism. It's low neuroticism to not be particularly bothered by them, and it's low conscientiousness to not fix basic problems just because they're not that annoying.

And one of the biggest correlations with higher IQ is neuroticism, which I suppose does double back to reproving the point being suggested with extra steps.

As far as I'm aware neuroticism has been weakly negatively correlated with intelligence, the largest impact of which is from its subfacet of generalized anxiety. (That's also a fun one to bring out next time someone tries to use "I have anxiety!" as an excuse for being useless.)

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/365110865_Personality_and_intelligence_A_meta-analysis

The largest positive correlation there was actually openess, specifically in crystallized (aka learned) intelligence, so I harbor a suspicion that that's more of a college cultural indoctrination thing than particularly causative.

Good to know, I've been out of the field for well over a decade so it seems things I take for basic knowledge might have changed.

Though given Psychology's numerous issues in both sample biases, failure to replicate, and general lack of accounting for factors, I don't full trust any that "buck the norm" so to speak. I personally do not like the Big Five test as I saw first hand how easy it was to both game and end up with results that barely reflected the reality of the person during my time working with it.

While anecdotes are just that, I think we can say with some certainty that there is some correlation between higher IQs and some form of mental disordering, even if its not specific to the neuroticism type. I think an important note here is neutroticism the Big Five specific trait and "being neurotic" colloquially don't fully overlap, so someone might be clearly off but not fit the label itself in its specificity. Either way, we have far too much body of evidence of something being unstable in the higher IQs to simply write it off as "study says no."

Still its always good to think about. Personally I think people use IQ itself too fluidly as shorthand for a whole host of things, and it leads to over simplifications like these. Useful for generalized stereotypes, but maybe falls apart beyond it.

I go to a bar with a buddy once a week or so. Sat next to this annoying couple who proceeded to play videos on their phone with speakers the entire fucking evening.

Like OK show one stupid video to someone with sound if you must (and even that is rude imo), but do you really need to play shit for an hour or longer in public. What's the point of going out if that's all you're going to do together

I get it, although I wouldn’t do that kind of shit myself. I’m not into socializing, so when I’m forced to go out to a bar or whatever, I have the urge to fuck around on my phone just to ignore the fact that I’m stuck where I don’t want to be, surrounded by people I really don’t want to hang out with. I used to go out all the time in my 20’s, never felt that way back then, now I hate it.

They’re probably similar to me in that regard, but having the sound on is going to put attention on them which is something I’d avoid, plus it’s annoying AF when people do that shit.
