GPA has very little to do with intelligence, and intelligence has very little to do with fitting in on LW. If you're interested in rationality and philosophy, you'll do fine. And don't worry about fitting in, this place needs more diversity.
welcome!
I'm not confident that "very little" is entirely accurate for those two statements. I expect there is (at least) a medium correlation between GPA and intelligence and (at least) a medium correlation between intelligence and fitting in on LW. Is this wrong?
I would agree that interest can overcome these barriers in some (most?) cases.
Hmm. You're probably right.
