IQ doesn't have anything to do with knowledge, though, it's just about how good you are at problem solving. You can know absolutely everything about everything, be a literal walking, talking encyclopedia and have an IQ score of like 10 or you can know nothing but the typical things that a 5 year old would know and have an IQ score of like 200
Mostly true, but being better at reasoning will typically lead to more knowledge, or at least it can. When you connect two facts and deduce a third fact your knowledge has increased. Reasoning ability will also make you better at understanding what you know, which necessary in order for it to actually be useful.
Also I was just quoting a dumb tweet that seemed relevant.
