Yes, you can call me an asshole - a thread on IQ

I feel the exact same way about egotistical Pricks.

I also am not that smart but I am studying for a degree in Passive Aggressive Psychology.

Someday I hope to be Smart without the weakness of needing to Brag to random nobodies.

I lied on 2 of the 3 above statements.
Truth is... I love creative writing and Riddles.

In your remaining years try to read a Book on Ego and then go check yours.

Oh look, one of the butt hurt people arrived.

How can you be offended by intelligence when it was intelligent people who gave you the aquifers, the computer you are using to bitch, and the keyboard you are using to type?

(Don't actually answer that. The response is just going to be more butt hurt.)

Certainly feel the "faking dumb to fit in part".

Rather envious of your access to said resources. Sailed thru highschool by reading the textbooks in the first lesson then relying on memory to get me thru while I phased out in class. A teacher or two noticed, and for a brief time after moving schools was skipped up a couple years (they required testing prior to entry) before another move.

To have access to that kind of knowledge, your lucky it was noticed - and I say that with a grain of salt from reading prior threads of yours.

Agree with your exchange of ideas, but as another poster mentioned, so many become indoctrinated by wherever school of thought they studied and become as stubborn as a religious fanatic with any kind of exchange.

So, I was scrolling through Facebook the other day looking at reactions to the virus (mostly "Oh no, my trip to the Canaries has been canceled. Can I rebook for two weeks from now?)...

And I noticed that, from my perspective, only one in fifty people had a rational or intelligent reaction to information about the virus.

That's when I remembered that only around one in fifty people have an IQ over 130 and realized I was essentially watching forty-nine dumb blondes run into a horror movie forest while the one guy stayed back at the cabin to rig the truck ignition and drive his ass out of the movie.

Ordinarily, average people only slightly irritate me, but in a crisis they become painful to watch and interact with.

I'm highly considering cutting off contact with them nearly entirely at this point to avoid the developing migraine.

.....

As for my own IQ, I score around 130 on a bad day and too high to measure on a good day.

I learned that it's more about social anxiety over performance than anything. Ordinary people have this unrealistic expectation of genius. They think we get everything right the first time and just instantly know all the answers. They don't realize that actual analysis is a process and that it often takes looking at all the data points, and not just one, to come to a conclusion.

When I went in to test knowing that they were expecting that from me, I worried over each question and what it would mean to their perception if I got it wrong - and that slowed me down to 130.

When I went into the test not giving a damn (yeah, I have those days too), I scored too high to accurately measure, i.e. I aced the IQ test.

......

It's led to an interesting life.

On one hand, I had to start paring back my language by age eight because none of the other children (or many of the adults) could understand me. They complained that my words and sentence structure were too complex and long. I regret bending to them on that. I miss the language. It also meant I spent a lot of my life faking dumb to fit in.

On the other hand, it granted me access to a lot, including Yale. I lived in their library stacks for years just absorbing everything I could. The think tanks were divine. I mean, genuinely divine. I loved those moments I had a chance to interact with other thinking people and I could actually see the cogs working in their minds instead of the usual series of roadblocks that most people have.

.......

Which all brings me to this point.

I may not have very many years left on this planet. Why am I spending it with idiots? It's difficult not to. After all, they're literally everywhere you turn, but I think this is the turning point in which I need to part the moronic seas instead of swimming in them.

Thoughts?

And, yes, I expect a bunch of low IQ people to come in here all butt hurt and offended. After all, they're everywhere. You'll have to excuse me if I do not engage. I'm just too bored with that shit now. There are only so many times an adult can play peekaboo before they have to take a very long break.

Same, ugh, I've just about given up on trying to have any intellectual discussions on the topic. Especially with those who have been brainwashed by the MSM on the entire thing and keep quoting these statistics that have nothing to do with reality. As soon as I find that someone gets all their knowledge and ideas about the world from the MSM, I just sort of drift off the other direction. Got tired of trying to school and rationalize and speak logically with people that really would rather just not be bothered. It's like they just want it to go away so they can go back to living in the blissful bubble that I believe a lot of people live in when they have a lower IQ. Sometimes it makes me jealous, to live a life where there just isn't so much going on in one's head. I believe you can be happier that way, in some regards.

Stay off FB you will be much happier.

Agreed on that.

I've seen physical pain on some faces at the idea of having to seriously think about any topic.

I was on the same track as you in childhood. Then someone at the school decided to label me as "hyperactive", then the pills and shrink sessions started. They were essentially trying to damage me down to the level of the rest of the children. And I think at some point they succeeded, despite my best efforts to resist. I remember the ease which I absorbed knowledge. I got locked in a public library overnight one time because I was up in a remote dusty section reading my little ass off.

I'm intelligent, not autistic.

Contrary to popular belief, having a brain does not automatically mean lacking a sense of humor or humanity. It just means sometimes the jokes we tell and the care we give are outside of the general realm of comprehension.

how many languages you speak OP?

The reason for you, doing what you do, is the same as myself doing what I do I think. You are launching a personal prayer. Perhaps one person picks up on it. One person gets to see a little bit further then they could have otherwise. You don't have much longer, nor do I. My IQ is 'out there'. Being a TI sucks. No worries now.

If you know, as I do, and can watch it daily, that you have a limited lifespan. It is your sort of 'duty' to pass on what you have known and see if there is a 'grasp' by anyone. Hanging a line to 'Next!' is not a bad thing. The warp and weft and tapestry of your most singular life may help someone. You could be a game changer that makes a spoopy connection with an anon that goes on to surpass you.


You have a very. a very, a very 'ineteresting' grasp on living. Give some tips to those who will follow you and God Bless.

I think this thread is a functioning ego test.

It creates a defensive response in some.

Duality thinking.
