(emphasis mine)He’s already established his intelligence level:

I have a 150 IQ and had a grandfather who could do trigonometry and calculus in his head. He had a 190 IQ and was a WWIi vet and not only an electric engineer but an engineering professor at one time. Also he was a millionaire. When I was 5 he taught me to spell antidisestablishmentarianism. Also, my mom taught herself to read as a toddler with the tv guide. Not a single individual in my family has an IQ under 150. Also, I was able to walk at six months. So unless you possess some supernatural form of intelligence you have no boasting rights though I do not wish to argue.
