Exactly. Low IQ folks must have an instant gratification impulse that exceeds their ability to calculate total cost and then weigh value. Similarly, when I recall instances of driving at night and seeing pedestrians who imprudently run across traffic, far too close to oncoming traffic, I assume these are low enough IQ folks who cannot judge the closing speed between the oncoming traffic and where they are (as well as overestimating their sprinting ability.) I’s love to see a plot of pedestrian fatality rate by IQ decile. Stupid people do a lot of things differently.

That is a fascinating concept and a lot of folks would be very interested in seeing that.

Of course there would be a strong correlation between IQ and political affiliation too, but we can't discuss that openly!
