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.
