Good EQ creates good premises.

Good IQ creates good logical structures.

Having both means being able to make scarily accurate and well-structured arguments, inference, predictions, etc.

The tedious part is honing your EQ because it consists of many kinds of knowledge:

  • knowing how you’ll react to things
  • knowing how people will react to things
  • knowing why people react to things
  • knowing the body language of people
  • knowing what fallacies people usually make
  • knowing how power flows
  • knowing the ebbs and flows of societies and nations
  • knowing how history repeats itself
  • knowing how the universe moves
  • and possibly many other pieces of knowledge

But the IQ is also important even though it consists of fewer kinds of mental artistry:

  • knowing how to make sound logical conclusions
  • knowing game theory for decision making and for seeing incentive structures

Both are equally important to gain a semblance of psychic ability.
