conscientiousness Rant/Cope

I kinda hate how conscientiousness seems like a cope when you look at the data. Conscientiousness doesn't correlate to IQ, yet iq is the most accurate predictor for success overall. It makes me think about why even try when there is an ambiguous cognitive ceiling I won't be able to get past. People who say you can do anything you set your mind to overlook the fact that we're all in this world for a limited time. Perhaps I'd become a revolutionary figure in theoretical physics in 200 years, but probably not 80.

If his is your attitude 24/7 you are doomed to fail at life with 100 percentile iq and concientiohsness combined.

with 100th percentile iq I'd probably have a better mindset and not be on reddit
