Mathematics and Visuospatial Ability : Why?

No.14390970 ViewReplyOriginalReport
Both scientific evidence and simple observation suggest that Mathematics and Mathematical sciences are dominated by people who have superior Visuospatial IQ.

https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.1603205113

expert mathematicians rely almost exclusively on visuospatial circuits of the brain. "Crucially, these activations spared areas related to language and to general-knowledge semantics. Rather, mathematical judgments were related to an amplification of brain activity at sites that are activated by numbers and formulas in nonmathematicians, with a corresponding reduction in nearby face responses. The evidence suggests that high-level mathematical expertise and basic number sense share common roots in a nonlinguistic brain circuit."

This relationship is already well established and familiar to those who investigate the psychological/ cognitive frameworks of mathematical sciences so at this point im really just reciting. This relationship is so acknowledged that is has already meme'd itself into the consciousness of certain spheres through the popular 'shape rotator vs. wordcel' dichotomy
My question is, why does this relationship exist? What about visuospatial ability in particular lends itself to the comprehension of mathematical concepts, esp in comparison to verbal ability. Why shouldn't verbal ability be equally correlated? After all, wouldn't one suppose that they are both reducible to raw components of cognition like processing speed, working memory, long term memory ? I find it especially confusing because I feel that at a high enough level , all mathematics and verbalizations become abstracted away from simplistic imagery, so how can possibly visualize them either way? How do you visualize mathematical fields which depend on formalistic manipulation which have no geometric intuition?

Psychologically, what causes certain professions and groups of people to have overly inflated egos despite masses of objective evidence they're losers/low ranked etc?

For example doormen are notorious for having huge egos/god complex's, despite being illiterate and service workers and working night shifts/risking being a victim of serious crime

Waiters are particular restaurants too have absurd egos despite literally being a boy who brings you a plate and serves you.

Some groups of unattractive women and also objectively poor people also appear to have massive egos.

It's got to be mental illness if you think you're above someone who is giving you orders then relaxing whilst you serve them right?

Lately I have even noticed cleaners walking around with their chests puffed out or not deferring to those they're cleaning up afterwards.

Objectively unattractive, and in particular MEN (short/poor/fat/ugly etc) checking themselves out in the mirror and taking selfies/posing... actual 1/10s

Only one person is the smartest person in the world and they are so for only a very brief time from months to minutes, considering cognitive decline and flux of cognition. At a given point the probability you are the smartest person in the world is one in 8 billion, assuming a naive selection. Intelligence has pareto distribution returns. Intelligence is useless without the resources(read free time) to manifest itself. Intelligence is the most important trait.

You have been butchered by globalism and unmitigated human growth.
