@mining1:
Thanks for your cordial post. My counter argument is the following essay by Nicholas Taleb:
Before you read this, please read Surgeons Should Not Look Like Surgeons by Nicholas Taleb, the progenitor of antifragility.
The high IQ1 genius Nicholas Taleb will publish his blogs to the blogging platform with the most readers, the best tools, and also the one that is the most antifragile (and a blockchain controlled by whales doesn't qualify as antifragile).
Thus I will welcome him to OpenShare (http://opensha.re). He and I have traded a single, terse email in the past.
Note that in open source, the resources needed come naturally to the project which is the most needed by the ecosystem.
1 Also I want to clear up something. I don't claim to have a genius level IQ as measured by a standardized IQ test. My IQ is above 130. When I have admonished about IQ, this was about those who do not seem to understand Taleb's point above. And I often equated such people to those who seem to not even have the threshold level of IQ to comprehend, i.e. let's grab out of our ass a 115 IQ cutoff point roughly. Many IQ tests don't seem to measure divergent thinking, which was the point of my essay Essence of a Genius. High IQ is indicative of some cognitive powers which are very helpful for cognitive production, but what IQ measures is insufficient by itself to guarantee great accomplishments. For example, a person who scores higher than me on a Raven matrices IQ test, would solve Rubik's cubes faster than me and beat me in most well established games where the strategy can be enumerated, but that doesn't mean they will necessarily beat me in a game of creative divergent opportunities where the established patterns are unknowable because they don't exist until they are created, i.e. the future in chaos theory can't be computed. My Myers-Briggs profile type is ENFP and I am 88% on iNtuition. My Myers-Briggs type are those who are the visionaries or inspirers.
