>>12034410Tradition equals the result of tons of people trying and either succeeding or watching others fail. By sticking to tradition you end up close to a game theoretically optimal mean behavior. These are the sub 95. Now, if you try to think things through and get hung up somewhere, or fall into someone's thought trap (scams and self-destructive ideologies) because you aren't smart enough to outsmart or match the people who run those scams, you find yourself with a non optimal behavior, too far in one direction or another. If you are over 145, you are in the 99.9th percentile, so you aren't going to fall (as easily) for retarded ideologies, and if you do, you will likely have calculated it to be for your benefit. These people will calculate optimal behaviors for themselves, or get reasonably close.
Basically, between those two, you are smart enough to question tradition, but not smart enough to answer the question.
