Heh. That’s a fun chart. If that’s programming aptitude, I scored 80 on that part of the broad spectrum aptitude test I got a sneak-peek chance to do several parts of. Well now I know why I’m so easily in agreement with “senior coders”, if it is programming aptitude quotient. If it’s just iq, … pulls hood up to block the glare.
Daunting that there may be a middling bias getting apparent advantages. Evolution may not serve us well like that.
And many between “seniour developers everywhere” and “a layman who never wrote code in his life”.
Like me, I’m saying it too. A big ol “No duh”.
Disbelieve the hype.
… Yeah but… that experience… Never mind. If you’re offering that, you missed the point.
Oh, and I’ve had OBE NDE too… the line’s blurred.
“First thing they taught us in StarFleet medical school. Tricorders, good with living people, not so good with dead.” – Dr Bashir to Kira in DS9… or words close to that effect.
People come back from being dead all the time.
Or at least somewhere in that blurred line.
Even these days?
I admire your optimism. ;D
Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
Especially if declining to look.
Cannot step in the same river twice. Nor with the same feet.
Bought the ticket. Take the ride. Came here with purpose, despite the trepidation.
Put a light on. Less messy.
That’s not my experience.

About 22 years ago or so, after not taking psilocybe mushrooms for a couple years, fasting for 24 hours, I took an uncounted tens of grams of dried, fine-powdered, strong psilocybe semilanceata, hot, in just lemon juice, and chugged that pint of thick mushroom super-lemony brew down as fast as i could. It started coming on FAST and STRONG. Ran the 3 strides to the bathroom sink with need to purge, which didn’t last long nor purge much of it… clinging to the sink as I slumped down, with the trip immensity roaring at the doors bursting in at all the seams, I tried to steady myself, I meditatively focused on a drop of water, empathising with it likewise clinging to the underside of the sink. I empathised my way instantly to know where every molecule, and every atom, of the water in there, had ever been, and it was a short jump from there to realise I could do that with everything. My experience is that every atom, every subatomic particle, have omnidirectional infinite sense of the entire cosmos… and this was only in the beginning seconds of the hours long trip, the ability to see behind things, to know from every perspective, everybody, all time, all times, all dimensions, all realms, all places, all interacting potentials… I cant speak to it really, only to say I remember I did experience it. Cannot take it all back with you.
First exchange with other people after I came out of the toilet, friends had come around, one asked “how was it?”, and with it all still being fresh, the immensity of having experienced omniscience, sought to offer what I thought was the most beautiful thing of it all… I said, with all glowing reverie “I know death”. The look of horror on the poor dear’s face though. Ho ho ho.
But yeah, get that… we mere mortals, many, all around, can experience omniscience.
And many are, and ever have. Say hi.
All the best garbage to learn from, to debug, debug, debug, sharpening those skills.
