I mean, I personally am much stupider than Prof. Loury based on his ability to do mind-boggling math and my dull C+ in high school algebra 2 as my terminal math accomplishment.
As for Prof. McWhorter, his writing ability far exceeds mine, and I would regard anyone who could keep all those languages he knows straight in their head as significantly smarter than me.
Kudos to you if you think you're in their league, though. I hope you are doing great things for your family, neighborhood, and community.
I am a big fan of Glenn and John. I admire what they are doing. What matters is knowledge and understanding, which is facilitated by a certain level of IQ but depends in so much more. Too few people understand this.
As for “great things”, my Ph.D. is in chemistry and I was VP of R&D for a global company. I can hold my own with almost anyone. I do not listen to Glenn and John because I worship them, I listen because I can learn from them. I believe I could reciprocate on a number of subjects, but I learn from them in their areas of expertise. It’s how we expand our understanding of the world and universe we occupy.
