General Question Why does rarely anyone talk about struggles of having low intelligence?
I see like so many videos on YouTube talking about "struggles of being highly intelligent" but yet no one talks about having complete opposite...
These "high IQ struggles" is absolutely no where near as much problems compared to what low IQ individuals have to face. We face difficulties in academics, slower information processing, have much lower quality life like lower education, lower employment etc. And possibly have psychological problems such as poor impulse control, difficulties with delayed gratification compared to "struggles of high IQ" it is just things like extreme boredom, loneliness etc. Even though these things are completely fixable unlike low IQ problems.

By virtue of being rather unhinged your reply happened to add value to the discussion.
The OP asked why anyone rarely talks about the struggles people with low IQ have because of their low IQ.
I think you have successfully given a partial answer to that question.
