Yes, there is reticence about lots topics, not just intelligence differences. But the fact that some people are unwilling to fully engage with the implications of that, I guess as an explanation of problems happening in society, does not make that point more valid.
Mental blocks generally happen when people avoid thinking about bad scenarios, when there is discomfort (e.g. not having enough money for X, or a plan going bad, or a bridge breaking, or social pressure). I guess the trick you did is removing some bad scenario that allowed you to further explore certain topics; this does not mean you are immune from ‘bad’ scenarios blocking you on that same topic (e.g. reversing to the mean of that topic).
As a personal observation, I keep noticing on this forum the frequency of your eloquent “Pindaric” flights to nudge conversation towards IQ. I wonder why. But I will refrain from commenting further, only suggesting that it might be good to travel around the world and to engage with real people.
