If somebody has an IQ of 150 at the present time, is this how he sees the world?

I have an IQ somewhere between 120 and 130 and I'm quite often surprised by how dumb people are. But quite often it comes down to how uncritical they are, it often becomes unclear whether they are ignorant or actually stupid.
I think what's mostly problematic is that so many attempts at an intelligent conversation are just judged for being arrogant or pretentious.

I see the world as built to cater around the lowest common denominator or average intellect. Vast number of jobs which can be handled by average IQ; few jobs challenge someone mensa+ level. I shudder when I think about half the cars around me are driven by people with an iq of 100 or less.

It's not the dumb people I'm afraid of. It's the people who just can't be bothered to think.

I have an IQ of around 135 to 138. I can see the world being dumbed down without having a 150 or above IQ.

It's lonely not to have many people to talk to. It's frustrating explaining what you're trying to say. It's annoying because the music is bad and keeps getting worse. It's bland because there is so little humor and quality entertainment. But it's easier being a genius among morons than being a moron among geniuses.

Everyone knows IQ doesn't mean squat and neither does the ability to regurgitate something you read in a book.
