Submitted as comment to "What must his life be like?" in [email protected], and felt that it justified a whole meme to tie it together.

I wouldn't even give it that. Imo "intellectual capacity" is entirely a confidence thing. If you have the confidence to give an answer that may be incorrect, you have intellectual capacity. If you give an answer and it's wrong, you're learning. If doing that and being wrong over and over again a million times doesn't discourage you, somebody is probably about to hand you a degree. "Intellectual capacity" is a fairy tale for the privileged to ensure they aren't discouraged from pursuing an education, and a source of learned helplessness for most others.
