The ideology of superiors try to carry society to obedience of a most respectable elitist leader use different ways to get acceptation of mass. The mechanisms to create a authoritarian superior leader are infinites...supossed most smarts ones is only one.But first the elitists need the acceptance of mass of measures mechanisms.

while that is true, we can all agree Magnus Carlsen has an IQ over 180. He beat 20 people at a time while he was blindfolded.

We certainly can't agree. Yes, he is good at chess. No, that doesn't mean he has superhuman IQ. Why would it?

IQ is mostly a measure of how well you can solve IQ tests. The connection to chess ability is much weaker than most people think.

No, but we might all be able to agree that his IQ is between 120 and 190.

Timur Gareyev more than doubled that.

Understanding the concepts of chess is also related to IQ maybe?

IQ isn't totally bogus, but it has a weak correlation to chess skill and scoring on an iq test is highly sensitive to certain factors unrelated to intelligence.

Source for all the IQ's in the list is "trust me bro", huh? So it was made up by ChatGPT.

For real. For instance Magnus himself has stated that he doesn't know his own IQ. https://en.chessbase.com/post/magnus-carlsen-on-his-che-career

Kasparov is a direct refutation to that.

If you believe that, what does that say about your IQ?
