A study conducted in Germany found that men with higher IQs are less inclined to traditional values, but the lead author, psychologist and intelligence researcher Maximilian Krolo of Saarland University, said the researchers did not find these differences among women.
As an another neurodivergent lacking some essential emotional stuff: also being nice and kind to others is smart for maximizing your personal well-being. If people think nicely of you, they are more inclined to listen to you, and help you, and that gets you way further in life than just being a selfish prick people don’t want to be around. It is also logical to apply this not only to people immediately next to you, but to people far away as well, since being mean and evil towards them will not get you shit in the long run or might even make things worse, but it’s more likely it might benefit you later.
Or sure, you can be as mean as you want and might even end up some bitter asshole with all the money you could imagine if you have good enough start and lot of luck. But that’s pretty far from a good life in itself; you can get all your needs met a lot easier and even have nice people around you.
My theory is that we never find the actually smart sociopaths (or psychopaths or whatever the term is here), since they’re intelligent enough to hide themselves with kindness
