Before introducing Ladakh, I’d like to mention some pertinent points which every tourist planning trip to Ladakh should know and take care of.These are also the questions which are often asked in online travel forums like Tripadvisor, Indiamike and Lonely Planet’s Thorntree etc.The most recurring questions are related to acclimatization, ATMs, Petrol Pumps, acute mountain sickness and innerline permits along with the length of Ladakh tour itineraries.In this Hub I have tried to answer as many questions on Ladakh trip planning which popped into my mind or as a traveler myself I’d asked before venturing to this barren paradise.Nestled in the Trans-Himalayan region, in the state of Jammu & Kashmir in North India, Ladakh is one of the favorite jaunt for nature lovers and adventurous souls.Tourists from all over the world throng in this mountainous region to explore the less explored jewels of nature.Besides natural treasures, the region is also famous for its ancient Buddhist monasteries. Ladakh is often dubbed as ‘Little Tibet’ as it shares an international boundary with Tibet and play host to a sizable population of Tibetan Buddhists.Although a trip to Ladakh has a lot to offer but tourists are required to take some precautions as it is mostly a barren land and has low atmospheric pressure/low oxygen level at higher altitude.Going by the statistics of Google Trends, ‘Leh Ladakh India’ and ‘Leh Ladakh tour packages’ has the highest search results. In a bid to assist first time Ladakh travelers for the peak season (May to August), I have listed a few travel tips which could help you plan your trip to Ladakh.How to deal with high altitude and acclimatize in Leh LadakhWhile planning your trip to Ladakh, acclimatization is one of the most vital aspect of the itinerary sketching and should be given utmost importance. The rule is not to rush your Ladakh trip and give proper time for acclimatization.To adapt to the low atmospheric pressure condition you need to give yourself time for proper acclimatization. It is always advisable to keep first 2 days after your arrival in Leh for getting used to high altitude condition.Don’t just arrive in Leh and think of going to Nubra or Pangong or you could get seriously affected by AMS which may lead to severe headaches, nausea, restlessness, or even inability to walk and think and ataxia which in turn will ruin your vacation.Even the most fit people get affected by the Acute Mountain Sickness. Therefore, it is advised to take some precautions beforehand.Few points to keep in mind:Physical fitness is the first and the foremost thing you need to consider while undertaking a trip to Ladakh region.Increase your altitude gradually and compensate ascent with rest at places to acclimatize.Due to the low atmospheric pressure, it is necessary for a tourist to take the rest of around 2 days or 48 hours after reaching Leh.If you are suffering from high blood pressure, heart ailments and asthma, kindly abstain yourself from planning a trip to Leh Ladakh.Hydration is necessary but overdoing it could only harm you. Just increase your normal water intake by a liter and it will do. Dehydration does not necessarily leads to AMSDuring the cold weather, cover your head and ears with something warm.Don’t exert yourself physically too much. Never run here and there out of exscitement especially on passes. Low level of oxygen could lead to fatique in an instance and it would be literally very difficult to catch your breath. You mind feel the earth go round or even fall unconscious.Some preventive medicines do aid acclimatization and treat altitude sickness the most popular is Diamox, The local version of these medicine, a time tested and natural alternative is garlic soup or soup prepared with lots of GarlicIf you notice any early warning symptoms such as headache, nausea, dizziness and fatigue, take immediate rest and descend if you are on high altitude (as in Khardung La Top) without any delay.I know this one is difficult to do but avoid smoking and drinking alcohol on high altitude to prevent AMSIf you are taking Leh-Manali Highway then stop at Keylong, Jispa, Darcha and avoid if possible staying at Sarchu; else if you are taking Leh-Srinagar Highway you should spend overnight at Kargil (I am assuming that you have already spent a night in Manali or Srinagar respectively).If you are flying directly to Leh and 2 days should be the minimum time spent in Leh for acclimatization. During this period short detours to Thiksey, Hemis, Shey, Nimoo and Stok etc. to visit monasteries and palaces are always open for you to choose.And yes do not sleep during days. I know this was not required as who'd waste even seconds of time sleeping during day in such a magnificent land.Here’s my personal reckoning with AMSI had to face this during my stay just after descending Baralacha La.One bike in our group of three got stuck in a water stream on the pass due to vicious current and we had our feets, socks and even boots wet with water. Somehow we managed to reach a small settlement of tents near Baralacha La and had to stop there as getting to Sarchu was impossible. We had dinner and then went to sleep but at around 03:00 I woke up with severe headache which refused to let go. By sunrise it was feeling like hell but somehow I managed to get on my bike. I was feeling very weary but we did began our further descent and the headache abated even before we reached Sarchu.What to Pack for Ladakh TripClothing and Other EssentialsLadakh is situated in Greater Himalayas which means it is cold and at considerable elevation. As soon as you cross Keylong (Leh-Manali Highway) you will see considerable change in weather condition as well as landscape. The same changes will be apparent when you cross Zoji La on Leh-Srinagar Highway.The point is that traveling at such altitude during days will provide ample warmth and sun shine. It seldom rains in the Ladakh region and that is one of the reason Ladakh is considered to be one of the best monsoon holiday getaway in India.During day time a simple pullover or a jacket will do the trick but as soon as the sun go down mercury also falls sharply and temperature on thermometer reading could even reach zero. The evening is generally when people rest inside their accommodation and accommodations all along the route are warm enough.Even sleeping in tents is not a problem as blankets and quilts are provided by the owners. Mentioned below are few key things which you should pack when traveling to Ladakh.At least 2 Jackets and 2-3 pulloversA pair of hand gloves preferably woolen, and warm clothes/caps to cover your ear and necks especially so if you are a riderSoaps, towels, general medicines, bandages etc.2-3 pairs of thermocot inners4-5 pairs of socks (must for bikers)Good waterproof shoes for trekking and riding in case you are a biker as you’d have to face water streams on high mountain passes like Chang La, Baralacha La and othersOne warm sleeping bag if you are planning to camp along the routeCarry some vital medicines for Acute Mountain Sickness such as Avomine,Dexamethasone, Diamox and AcetazolamideLots of chocolates, biscuits and dry fruitsCamera, chargers for cell phone and other basic thingsPacking Tips for Bikers on Ladakh Road TripBesides above mentioned stuffs you will also need:A pair of good raincoats as more often than not riders to face rain After crossing Chandigarh and before crossing Rohtang La Pass on Leh-Manali Highway. On Srinagar-Leh Highway you are more likely to get caught in the rain until you reach Zoji La.Alternatively, you could use raincoat as wind-cheater and they also help keep your clothes clean all along the dirt track on passes and Moore Plains. The cloud of sand and dirt is too much especially when an army convoy is passing and when you are crossing passes on which overtaking takes trucks and other vehicle takes longer due to narrow roads.Water Proof GlovesBoots to keep your feet, shoes and socks from getting wet at water stream flowing on passes especially the one at Baralacha La which is one of the most vicious another tough water stream to cross is at Chang La. The trick is not to cross the stream from middle and keep your bike in first gear and use clutch to maintain traction and throttle.Spare tube, puncture kit, clutch wire, break wire, chain lock, gear oil, engine oil, spark plugs etc are a must pack in your bag. Also carry petrol jar if you are taking Leh-Manali Highway as the last petrol pump that you’ll find is at Tandi which is around 380 Kms before you find the next at Karu. So 10-20 litres of extra petrol is what I’d recommend you to carry.Puncture shops are also not available and even if you find one, there is no guarantee that they will have the tube hence a tyre tubeis a must pack item even if you don’t have puncture kit.Leh - Ladakh Bike Rental Costs 2014Bike nameModelMin.

In case of foreigners, the permit is issued only for a group with four or more foreign tourists.For foreign tourists, it is also mandatory to go through a registered travel agent in order to obtain the Permit. The travel agent will also help you group together with others in case you are traveling solo or couple so that your permit could be obtained.Innerline Permits for Indian nationals are valid up to 3 weeks and Protected Area Permit is issued for a maximum of 7 days. You need to re-apply for the same if you are planning to visit more remote areas in Ladakh region.What's good in case of Foreign tourist's PAP is that they need not travel in same group or with the travel agent which will be mentioned in the permit.Traveling to Suru and Zanskar Valley does not require inner line permits. Foreign visitors can't go beyong Merak Village in Pangong or Mahe Village in the Changthang.The application forms for obtaining the permit is easily available at the stationary shop just behind the Leh DC office.Leh DC office opens at 9.00 AM and application for permits are usually not accepted after 03:00 PM (The office remains closed on Sundays and National Holidays)Its always advisable to reach the office as early as possible to avoid the rush and to get the permit in a hassle free way.The fee required for the permit is Rs. 200 per person as environment tax + Rs. 20 per person per day as wild life protection fee and Rs. 10 Red Cross Donation.Carry a valid photo ID and photocopies of your proof of Nationality(Passport, DL, Voters ID etc.)One person may apply for entire group provided he/she is carrying attested photocopy of proof of nationality of all member in the groupAfter acquiring the permit make sure that you carry 4-5 copies of the permits and photo id proof. You may require to subit them at certain checkposts by the military personnel who track entry and exit at certain points to check if a tourist has returned or not.It's more for your own safety as one may get stranded during trek or may get stuck due to bad weather condition.Mention all major places you are traveling to in the permit i.e. if you are spending night in Spangmik you need to mention only Pangong Lake. Certain places and in some cases even routes need to be mentioned.I, order to take the Chushul route from Pangong Tso to Tso Moriri, with a visit to Hanle, you need to mention Pangong Tso, Man, Merak, Chushul, Tsaga, Loma, Nyoma, Mahe, Hanle and Tso Moriri in the permit application.Accommodation in LadakhDue to the conditions and nature of Ladakh region, luxury hotel properties or accommodation are not available in the region. There’s one luxury hotel in Leh Town by the name of Grand Dragon.At other places you’ll find budget and deluxe or even luxury tents and camps some with basic facilities and some with running hot waters and attached western toilets. Homestays are easily available at most of the places with basic facilities and would cost 150-200 per person for the night.Luxury Camps with attached toilets and running hot water will cost you around 3000-5000 for two person. You could also book your accommodation in advance through the internet or calling the hotels and camp providers or may may check in upon arrival as Ladakh is not one of the places which has those ”peak seasons” when the rooms are fully booked in advance.Accommodation for Bikers along Leh-Manali and Leh-Srinagar HighwayFor bikers accommodation is available all along the route on both Leh-Manali and Leh-Srinagar Highway. To allow for acclimatization, bikers taking Leh-Manali Highway, accommodation is available at Keylong, Jispa, Darcha and Sarchu and one should stay for the night at one of the places.Most of the bikers stay at camps in Sarchu. But if you have arrived at Zingzing Bar late in the afternoon, avoid crossing Baralacha La as the water stream which crosses the road on this pass gets dangerous to cross due to strong current.Return to Darcha or Jispa to spend overnight. One could also stay at Pang but watch out for AMS as Pang and Sarchu are located at an elevation of 15,100 and 14,100 feet respectively. So don't cross Baralacha La if you are already feeling mountain sickness or if there are any symptoms like headache or nausea and stay at Jispa or Darcha at 10,800 feet and 11,020 feet respectively.If you are riding from Srinagar, then I’d advise you to stopover in Mulbekh instead of Kargil or even Lamayuru if you could make it. Kargil is overpriced and an overrated place to spend the night not to mention that accommodations here are way overpriced.Personally I'd recommend taking Srinagar route and return via Manali as it helps in acclimatization. If you are on a road trip to Ladakh via Manali route than I'd advice that you stay for the night at Jispa, Darcha or Keylong to avoid any risk of AMS.Petrol Pumps in Leh LadakhIf you are traveling by road and doing Ladakh by Motorcycle or 4 Wheeler, you need to know where the petrol pumps are and when you need to keep reserve petrol in cans and jars so that you don’t run out of fuel on the highway.This is imperative especially if you have chosen Leh-Manali Highway for your road trip. The last petrol pump that you’ll find on this route is located at Tandi and the next one is at Karu which is around 380 kms away. It is always advisable to carry petrol in reserve so that you don’t get stranded just because you ran out of petrol.Similarly if you are Planning Leh – Pangong – Tso Mosriri – Rumtse – Leh or Leh – Nubra – Pangong Leh which would be like traveling more than 700 – 900 kms, then get your tank full and carry plenty of petrol in reserve as you are going to need it.At some places petrol are available at local shops and residences near roadside settlements along the route but you need to pay luxury surcharge to buy them and the quality of petrol is not guaranteed.You need not worry about petrol or fuel if you are taking Leh-Srinagar Highway as you’d find enough petrol pumps en route.ATMs in Leh LadakhMoney Matters during Ladakh Trip: Tips on Cash and ATMsExcept from some antique shops, credit cards are not accepted by any of the hotels and travel agents. Therefore, carry a good amount of cash with you. If you find carrying cash a bit risky, go for plastic money i.e. the debit cards and withdraw money from the ATM’s whenever required. ATMs of several banks like SBI, AXIS Bank, J&K Bank, PNB etc. are available in Leh Town from where you could easily withdraw as per your need. More interior places like Pangong, Changthang etc. don’t have that facility so carry your cash when traveling to inner areas in Ladakh region.General Travel Tips to Plan your Leh Ladakh TripRespect the Local CultureWhile on a trip to Ladakh region, kindly show respect towards the local culture and abstain yourself from doing such activities which are against the norms of Tibetan Buddhist culture. The Tibetan Buddhist culture is quite ancient and conservative, so dress properly and cover your full body. Always take permission before clicking photographs of any person. If they ask for money, don’t click pictures.Communication Facilities in LadakhThere are STD booths available in most of the markets in Ladakh region but they close down before 10 PM. On the other hand, Kargil has a global direct dialing telephone facility, other than post and telegraph facility. Adding to that is the wireless Radio phone network service of Jammu & Kashmir Tourism station with field stations at Leh, Padum and Kargil. During May to August (peak tourist season), Jammu & Kashmir Tourism establishes mobile wireless stations in the remote areas.Avoid Usage of Plastic BagsBoth locals and tourists are responsible for the well maintained environment. Therefore, do not litter around the place. Also, plastic is officially banned in Ladakh; hence avoid the use of plastic and polythene bags.Carry Proper Documents for Bike TripIf you are heading to Ladakh on a motorcycle, you will come across some high land passes such as Changla Pass, Zojila Pass, Fatula Pass and Khardungla Pass. Since all these areas have a huge military presence, it’s better you carry permit, vehicle registration, driving license, and bike insurance paper.If you are looking for someone else to plan your journey or need more information on attractions, places, lakes and passes then I'd recommend you to visit the website of lehladakhindia.com.

One reason is that an IQ that high is a little difficult to test/evaluate. A score in that range from an online test is completely worthless because those tests are also completely worthless. The same tends to be true for the majority of the people who *claim* to have an IQ in that range, most haven't taken a test that's actually accurate. As for the wealth aspect, most who are actually in that range aren't motivated by the same sort of things as people closer to average, or at least their goals are different, as are the paths to those goals. Most are quite able to hide their actual wealth and key aspects of the sort of things that would attempt to measure it, thus avoiding painting themselves with a very shiny target. The things people value most rarely have any accuracy in the form of a currency identifier followed by a number. My children are all healthy and intelligent adults, one with most of college behind her, another with most ahead of her, and none are in any substantial debt. I have no debt at all and the mortgage is totally paid off. I have an income but no job, sleep when i feel like it, eat when and what i want but am not the least bit fat.Starting pay for the military is substantially BELOW minimum wage. Civillians tend to not understand that because it doesn't quite make sense that many soldiers have no problem buying a house and car etc. The reason is most definitely not some great paycheck, it's that we can't simply quit or get fired, the government is often quick to snag some of that money and fork it over to people we owe, so credit is essentially guaranteed. Realtors and car salespeople near almost every base on the planet tend to be vastly worse scumbags than can be found elsewhere. Nearly everything advertised to soldiers in the areas within an hour of a base either have a ridiculous pricetag that's often vastly higher than the ACTUAL value, or the actual price paid is deceptively hidden in the terms and conditions of any credit agreement. Part of what i mean are ways that the exact thing you're buying would often cost far less in another area. The APPEARANCE and estimated value for many expensive things tends to be completely deceptive. Civillians will often travel far to shop for lesser everyday things near a base because the prices are often lower. A big reason for that is again along the lines of false advertising because most of those things are along the lines of imported imitations that are bogus in similar ways to things like the houses and cars. What i mean is junk that would be like an all-pine stereo system or peebok shoes from somewhere like korea that were shipped to the US in huge crates right alongside someone's couch, often avoiding assorted junk like not only import costs but also saving a fortune on shipping.Civillians who are new to the area and it's type of mess, as well as relatives and friends who live hundreds of miles away, tend to be clueless about the underlying reality, often assuming like many others that we get paid well and have all sorts of great 'benefits'. Well, ummm… medicaid tends to provide better medical care than the army, i've had both. It's like that with nearly everything else too.One of the biggest problems with most forms of IQ testing is that a lot of what they include relates to things associated with standardized education. This is frequently the case with the utter garbage online tests, most of which are designed by people who aren't even remotely qualified for such a task. Key aspects of intelligence assessment can't be figured out in a chair at a desk with a pencil and paper. That sort of approach tends to favor people who are used to those conditions. The reason i mentioned military service is because of how it relates to modern gang structures and the array of skills many of the members currently possess. It's vastly different from what was commonly publicized in the late 80s and early 90s. A huge part of the difference is that most of what we see on television that's put out as 'gang activity' is the low-level foolishness of idiot thugs who simply happen to live in or near areas influenced by the real deal. Their egos and stupidity tend to magnify relatively minor/loose associations that are a valuable source of misinformation.The REALITY of modern gangs at the levels which have some actual relevance has nothing to do with the little junk seen on the news and in police reports. Modern fiction is at least 'realistic' in the sense that the departure from reality in such fiction about gang activity is about the same as it is with almost any other topic. The 'soldier' theme in a lot of rap over the past 25 years tends to be similar to most other fictional entertainment, but it still comes from quite a bit that's related to a more complex and much deeper reality. Most of that entertainment is just on the outskirts of the reality and the association tends to be quite loose. Some key parts that most of the population doesn't take all that seriously is that modern gangs have a HUGE amount of relevance in terms of the reality of national defense. A key part of that is because they've incorporated many of the best aspects of military training and structure, but tend to do a better job with it, even though they have far less in terms of open support, supplies, and equipment. Mtv etc depicts bits and pieces of that reality just like other television gets almost everything wrong about the military. Things like NCIS might be fun and exciting, but people who are or were actually in the military tend to smile at the few things that are accurate and make fun of the things that are completely ridiculous.That last part is similar to how many people with ACTUAL high intelligence tend to view most stories about people with supposed *test results* (which are quite different from actual intelligence). It's a mix of entertaining and annoying. IQ almost exclusively applies to generalized aspects of intelligence. Because of that, any attempted measurement in the range of 165+ is a bit pointless. The speed of someone running a marathon is relevant. The same is true with people doing things like nascar. Take that runner out of the race and put them in the mountain wilderness or take that nascar driver and put them in new york city or los angeles and the application of the relevant skills becomes something entirely different.People i went to school with 30ish years ago who took the same tests around the same time as me are great examples of the irrelevance of the tests outside a certain range. Those who scored around 80 tended to end up in garbage jobs and struggling to survive, and their jobs tended to limit their credit to amounts in the hundreds. People around average iq (100) ended up living in the same places as people around 80 because credit debt stuffed them into the same net income range. People around 120 were similar with credit debt, except theirs was mainly for college degrees that were essentially worthless, and many of the 120s were living with their parents again right after college while the 80s often lived in dumpy apartments with their parents or had their own right up the street because they had kids instead of useless degrees.Here's the weird part… an iq of 60 or below was (and commonly still is) considered to indicate mental retardation. Quite a few people i grew up with who scored in that range eventually figured out that it paved the road for collecting ssdi. The funny part is that the system tends to stuff them in utterly worthless programs that practically force them into jobs specifically forced through companies via the disabilities act. The point isn't to make them useful members of society, it's to get them to first show up for work just enough to drastically cut their ssdi. In order to collect *anything*, social services tends to force them into garbage programs. The jobs they end up getting will often 'offer' just enough extra hours here and there that mean they can either work those hours that no one else wants, or they can be fired or laid off for supposedly valid reasons. If they cross income lines, their ssdi is dropped, yet they still can't get enough hours to make up for that difference. Having ssdi dropped can easily take over a month to get back.People around 60 who learn to NOT allow the system control them too much often end up doing substantially better than people around 80. When i worked in home healthcare, i went on a trip to washington dc with a client whose iq was right around 50 or 60. He had cerebral palsy, was in a wheelchair, couldn't speak, had to point at letters, key words, and pictures on his wheelchair tray to communicate. We changed the laws regarding people collecting ssdi in the late 90s to enable them to use that money to purchase homes, rather than paying MORE for rent than what a mortgage would cost them. He was LEGITIMATELY disabled, couldn't put food in his own mouth nor wipe his own ass. His income was less than a typical part time minimum wage job, yet his unmarried and borderline retarded ass was able to afford a house in massachusetts, where real estate is quite expensive compared to a lot of the country, and it had a little apartment attached to the side that he rented out to one of his caregivers. Fannie mae guaranteed the mortgage and provided services to find the house itself, local contractors and assorted charities covered the cost of modifications for wheelchair access. The contractors were able to use the situation to BS their way out of a lot of income taxes on their businesses. A lot of the materials were donated through various charities. The appraised value of the house nearly doubled in less than six months. The rental income from that little apartment covered about 75% of the mortgage, yet cost the tenant a little less than the same sort of space anywhere else in town, and she only had to walk about 50 feet to get to work. The way the paperwork etc worked with the rental made it so that it didn't qualify as an income that would have any effect on his ssdi.It started because of a few repeat comments and conversations about him being in his mid 20s, yet forced to live in an apartment surrounded by elderly people simply because it was the only place in the area with a wheelchair ramp that wasn't an utter dump surrounded by crackheads. I did a bit of research, then a bit more, found and helped organize a small group in our area that helped with an ongoing bunch of similar groups around the country. We changed federal laws and he bought a house that at least gave him an occasional view of women his own age going up and down the street. Most of them were nothing compared to the supermodel who normally worked his daytime weekday shift, but she still worked for him when he moved into the house.Most people with an iq 40 to 60 points higher than his bust their asses and accomplish less. He died just a few years later, not unexpectedly, but he owned a home and had a stunningly beautiful woman in his home for about 40 hours per week to cook meals of HIS choosing, watched whatever HE wanted on tv, drove him anywhere he wanted to go in HIS van that was in good condition and completely paid off, took his clothes off and touched every inch of his body on a regular basis, left him alone with other women of HIS choosing whenever he wanted and to do whatever they wanted in privacy, then she cleaned up afterwards. Since he couldn't speak, he just pointed at his board and she had to speak for him and it had to be exactly the things he wanted her to say. He had the legal right and ability to fire her at any given time and have her immediately replaced, and she was quite aware of that fact.The few who CLAIM to have an iq of 165+ are usually sorely mistaken and/or clueless about the accuracy of typical tests when dealing with that range. People who actually HAVE a score in that range tend to be doing just fine and rarely see a need to mention their score. My score isn't that high and i rarely talk about it. I have three happy and healthy kids and am not in any financial debt, don't want a pool at the moment, and i tend to despise things like fancy modern sports cars because i can easily find and fix up one that's around the same age as me and it'll outperform many of the most expensive sparkly things in local dealerships… yet my whole car and my modifications can cost less than the rims and tires alone on some, definitely less if you include the cost of the typical overpriced sound systems that are designed to play music that's just as much artificial and powerless garbage as the car itself.Maybe the confusion in your view is how you define 'wealth'. Ridiculous sums of money nearly always come from some sort of scam. They also tend to attract tons of people who haven't yet achieved the same level with their own scams. Bill gates, donald trump, and the US federal government are great examples. They all represent scams that we're either suckered into or forced into. None are anywhere near as wealthy as people typically assume. All are in a HUGE amount of debt that they occasionally hide to some degree, typically by shoving the illusion of wealth in everyone's faces.We currently have a national debt of around 23 TRILLION dollars, but only about one third of that is owed to foriegn sources. It's the largest foreign debt in the world, but that's another matter. I owe exactly ZERO dollars to any creditor, my house is completely paid off, same with all my junk in and around it. That doesn't really mean much when my government owes so much. I can't exactly pack up my little portion of the earth and move it elsewhere. This land and house were essentially stolen from native americans, so the money paid for it didn't even go to someone who actually had the authority to sell it to me. The idea of 'owning' a piece of the earth is a little ridiculous anyway. Not too many people claim to own their mom's womb and vagina.Genius iq is 140 and above (not 150), mentally retarded is 60 and below. Mine has consistently tested around 149 from the very same sorts of tests and methods as that former client whose was around 60 or slightly below. He owned a home and junk to fill it that was comparable to the one i'm in right now. Mine is paid off and his would be too, if he was still alive. My *average* income when i took care of him was around the same as his, but would be about 1/3rd higher right now because i was able to work for that difference.A retard and a genius both either made it or were on a path that would have led to essentially the same financial point. We both did substantially better than the vast majority of people with an average iq that falls almost exactly in the middle of us. What is it that you think someone 16 points above me, or about 105 points above him, should accomplish that's substantially greater?If the government hadn't halted the process of patenting a mining claim to turn it into private property, one particular claim i had in the rockies and probably 3 more adjacent ones would mean i'd own a square mile of land that i happen to love. Having had ten feet of snow fall on that exact spot in less than 24 hours in the spring, i'd need to adapt a few things a bit to stay out there all the time, but it's about half an hour away from herds of stunningly beautiful and intelligent women. I'd need something a little better than skis or a snowmobile for them. Maybe if i had those 16 extra iq points, i would have been able to change that federal law instead of the little collection of others. Then again, i could be in exactly the same position if i smacked my head against the wall enough times for the brain damage to drop me down to 60. Maybe going an extra 16 points further in that direction would do the trick. If a retard and a genius managed to get into basically the same position that's quite a bit further than most average people at the ages we were for the same basic points along strangely similar paths, maybe direction from average doesn't matter, just distance. Then again, i don't know many millionaires with an iq around 45, just donald trump.
