IQ Existential Crises

A process by which one has spent heaps of time researching IQ and finally starts questioning if knowing one's IQ has any purpose beyond hubris.

X:...What is the point of IQ? What does knowing this number do?? Is it all to grandiose my ego? Will it ever help me in the future? Why have I spent so much time on this useless topic?
Y: There is no point... You seem to be having a case of IQ Existential Crises.

Existential Dyslexia

English, Phrase (Philosophical/Medical) Psycological Or Cognitive Pediment created by subconscious bias memory reinforcement and our inability to perceptually grasp the nature of time. A point in life at which you are no longer sure if it is more frightening looking at how far you've come, or imagining ahead to how much farther you may yet have to go. In life you may feel a deep sense of nostalgia for the past for many reasons, one of which may be caused by our brains interplay of; Our subjective "sense of time", the process by which we fabricate memories to order time, and the nature of time relative to ones own personal experiences. Overly disproportionate cognitive biases, becoming so tenuous it balances out, and the fear of an uncertain future vs. reinforcement of positive past memories cancel one another, causing longing for the "good ole days" when in reality they were likely neither as "good" nor as fond as one remembers.

Example
Kenan, "Wow man, I sure do miss Good Burger that was a better time, any day I would gladly go back."
Kel, " Actually the past was terrible, I think you may have EXISTENTIAL DYSLEXIA, you are only seeing the good parts in your mind because we tend to reinforce the fond memories, and the future always has a potential for uncertainty which carries implicit fear of the unknown."
Kenan "Wow, Kel, you may be right, I never knew you were this intelligent..."
Kel "Huh? Oh yea... WELCOME TO GOOD BURGER! HOW MAY I GIVE YOU YOUR GOOD BURGER??!"
