dropping out of high school is to me evidence of high rationality
Are you talking about me? I believe I’m the only person that could sorta kinda be affiliated with the Singularity Institute who has dropped out of high school, and I’m a lowly volunteer, not at all representative of the average credentials of the people who come through SIAI. Eliezer demonstrated his superior rationality to me by never going to high school in the first place. Damn him.
I finished high school early (16) by American standards, with college credit. By the more sane standards of Soviet education 16 is, well, standard (and you learn a lot more).

I dropped out of high school… to go to college early.
