Is being highly intelligent more of a burden than an advantage?

This.

Define intelligence. Ability to learn and understand? Yes, it fucking sucks because you're constantly aware of the ramifications of every event. Social intelligence, like knowing what the fuck to say at people to appease the normie lizard brain? No, not a burden. I shouldn't have to say why

Intellects*

Highly intelligent people are MOST of the time just avg intelligence people with a superiority complex.

Just because you overthink things does not make you intelligent.

Yes.

It can be, and it can not be. All depends on how you use your intelligence.

Unrelated user here.

Serious question, anons; would you consider IQ tests reliable or do professionals bump up scores? I got a 179 which i thought was weird.

Or they're just surrounded by idiots, which inflates their individual perception of their own intelligence

idk, but entitled 12yo retards like yourself are a burden for the rest of us

die in a fire

That sounds fake as fuck.
either you actually on the fucking levels as some of the brightest people around or you got scammed.

Idk. I’ve been told my whole life that I’m a very smart person but I feel I’d be a lot happier if I was a simpleton who didn’t think so much.

Intelligence is useless if you have low levels of concienciousness. Lots of relatively intelligent people get resentful of the fact their intelligence alone does not entitle them to status, money, friends, respect etc. Intelligence and narccisism go hand in hand

It's not narcissism when you're actually better than everyone else.

Due to the fact you are asking this here, i can say with complete certainty that you do not have a super genius level IQ and have been tricked

Why does no one like you and all your endeavours fail, if you're so superior?

This was a place that was connected through years of doctors and psychologists that have known my family and have been following my development since I was a child. I was tested prior by two other specialists who are quite credible in my state who had to monitor my dissociations. Do you really think it could be a scam?

i said that high iq people tend to overthink things, not that I do, or that i have a high iq

Wtf why are you being tested on?

No. It can become burdensome, but it cannot be an actual burden.

You are highly intelligent. You must then also be intelligent enough to turn that to your advantage, if the implication is that your intelligence is higher than "plain" intelligence. Simply being highly analytical won't help you. You have to be keen enough to put that analysis to good use, for there to be good use.

This is sometimes true. Some people have poor motor skills. Therefore, some people are legitimately better at performing physical tasks than others.

Just apply a similar formula to intelligence. Some people have an easier time performing mental tasks...

I come here to shitpost and i came across this thread. I only use Yea Forums as an escape from abusive family life. Once a week at most but sometimes maybe checking three or two days straight. I don't spend all my time on here and have been sticking to just having fun in Yea Forums. If i turn out regular than so be it. It's wishful thinking even though I'm poor and can't do much to get out there sadly.

That's quite a pair of assumptions. Reflexes working fine.

yes. i think it's a bit of a crapshoot. some intelligent people get lucky and live successful lives with no problem. other intelligent people get stuck in shitty positions in life. in that case, i think the average person unconsciously senses their intelligence and feels it to be a primal threat without understanding why. lots of examples from history of demonstrated geniuses being treated poorly usually mostly related to unlucky circumstance.

I wudent no

People who think they're better than everyone else are almost always completely lacking in friends, achievements and competence

I have dissociative identity disorder that has been fully diagnosed. I usually don't like to talk about it but it has to do with my father when i was a child. There are two other "alters". Damen and Andrew although Andrew us mych more basic and lacks a face yet has long hair. Damen is an older version of me who represents my protecting alter and helps keep memories locked away. I smoke cannabis to calm myself and i might need to have a toke. I'm shaking writing this at the moment.

Almost always.

Cooking your own tendies doesnt count as an achievement

On second thought i might leave the thread for now anyways. I'm having a hard time is all. I hope all of you anons have a nice day today.

Crikey m8 if true it sounds like you're quite the special character. Maybe you do have a super genius IQ. You should try and become a chess master or something dude. You make art or anything?

Yet I'm the antisocial one, user.

Depends on who's around you and how many of them they are

I don't think I'm smarter or more superior than anyone else nor do i think I'm a special character. I'm a 22 year old who is in a bad family and smokes bud to calm down some problems. I didn't want to come off as that, all of my sorry-s , user.

Shit, my panicking made me think you were joking. Sorry again I've been wanting to become a life scientist someday if i was given the chance i guess. How things are made up always intrigued me.

Maybe anatomy and physiology.

Almost universally this.

There is no "burden of knowledge", only a burden of having completely failed to develop social skills alongside that knowledge.

Its ok my dude, i have sympathy for you. Ill tell you that you need to actively pursue what you want to do though. You cant wait for the opportunity to come up.

Now reddit fags gtfo

why are you asking Yea Forums this?

Geniuses tend to have slightly higher rates of suicide, divorce and drug abuse over the median. Anyone at either extreme of our known 'intelligence' spectrum will find life difficult. Most geniuses tend to be exceptional at certain types of intelligence, but rarely all encompassing. Because of this they fall prey to the same pitfalls in life that others do...

Burden? No, but it has it's ups and downs.
You feel alienated and through your alienation and alienation of others you either become either extremely low self esteem or extremely high "self esteem" (read sociopathic delusions of grandeur and narcissism).
Either of those aren't good for you, but perks are usually looseness and freedom, knowing that you can came up on top of everything world flicks at you. Money being one of those freedoms.
You don't really feel fulfilled most of the time though, like something is always missing. You are having a great time with friends, good paying STEM job, gf.... and still feels like it's not fulfilling.
Drugs are fun, but never seemed to know where whether you controlled them or them controlling you so they are just a toy not really a lifestyle that fulfills you with meaning and purpose.
But I like the funny patterns my brain entertains me with. Like really thin small women with huge sunglasses driving Jeeps or women with moles on their faces being on par with men with beards in terms of supply and demand on the sexual market.
I could write you down stories of how as a kid during early days of old 2007 Yea Forums I used to hack and dox and blackmail pedos to earn some extra dosh on the side, how I (and few of my friends) used to lockpick and burgle houses of degenerates and divorced people (we just targeted those for some reason), how I got into some high investment startups on my STEM uni. I could write down the pitfalls of most of the drugs I used to do.

I dunno, it feels like even this big paragraph I am writing to myself at this point, just to see the text in front of me because I kinda expect a few stereotypical replies to this post, so not like it matters

Big facts

Literally everyone thinks they're smarter than most people. Trust me, you're not as smart as you think you are.

Well, literally everyone can't not be smarter than most people.

Funny thing is how people are scared of highly intelligent people and see them as a threat whilst at the same time trying to emulate them and having that status is big aphrodisiac to women.
It is all about power tbh.

I feel if someone is truly intelligent then thamey adopt simple ideas on how to make themselves happy. The reason I feel this way is because if we have a simple plan or a simple goal then we are able to achieve happiness. I feel that I am intelligent because I have adapted this lifestyle and as a result I'm much happier with my life I believe I'm intelligent not so much intelligent in the area that is school smarts per se, but, I am emotionally intelligent because I've been through a lot of situations where I felt a lot. I'm not trying to sound narcissistic or entitled I don't believe I'm entitled to anything on this planet and I don't think I deserve anything other than the experience to live my life that was offered to me when I was born into this consciousness. I also feel that people who are more intelligent than normal people have more mental disorders that inhibit them. For example the smartest man on the planet who came up with theories that everyone called him crazy about lived in Germany and he graduated school at the age of 8 years old when I say school I mean High School Middle School everything that Germany had to offer at the time. He wrote several books College had many Masters and so on so forth but in the end she had to be institutionalized because he actually went and think and at the end he was actually crazy. All this is coming from someone with borderline personality disorder, Asperger's, ADHD type 2, and a history of suicidal ideations along with substance abuse. I'm not saying I am more intelligent than the average person but I feel that I am more intelligent because I think of things that other people won't and I live as an outcast in every group that I partaken whether it be the online community or in real. I always have very strange interactions with this world and with the people around me and I've always been a very strange person myself. I think trauma and the analytical stages of intelligence make you go through more emotions.

Haha, this tread was some kind of embarrassing pseudointellectualism roleplay.

It's cute you think that means something

It's cute you think my reply means something.

I feel also that more intelligent people if they are truly intelligent adapt a simpler way of life that fulfill their lives more so than those who are "more intelligent" and unsatisfied with their lives because if they are truly more intelligent than why aren't they as happy. There are some exemptions to this I believe because there are doctors who hate everybody and I do mean absolutely everybody but they still help the world because if they don't help the world then who will? So overall if you do believe yourself to be truly intelligent then why don't you try having similar goals in this world? My goals for example every day that I go to work I try to make people smile and if I can see the reaction of someone smiling the way their eyes light up then I go for that day is complete and I'm happy with my life. Lately ever since I've adopted this lifestyle I've been much more satisfied and happy with my life and the only reason I'm on this thread or board at all is because I'm bored and have nothing to do with the moment. This is my input with it all, and my take on intelligence along with the way this world works. I hope this , space nice day

Never said anything about lawyers or everyone that is more intelligent or higher up in our society. I was more pointing towards doctors because doctors have natural phenomenon that happens where doctors actually have a higher rate of disliking people in general if they're a better doctor. That's why you see things like this on television like house or Etc. The politicians in this world and lawyers and whatever else you may bring up that's considers my comment retarded do have personal agendas. Is it. Also nice nitpicking at one thing that you think is stupid when you have the rest of supposed to go over and tell me about. If you're going to nitpick at one thing don't just tell me one thing that's wrong with it tell me everything that's wrong with it. I want to be criticized in the way that can maybe involve the way that I think rather than inhibit because all you're doing is giving me negative reinforcement.

Burden in my opinion, I cannot hang out with majority of people because they annoy me too much, and it is not their fault. It is always a pleasant surprise when I meet intelligent and talented people.

Who are you quoting?

>Catch 22
if you have to ask if "being smart is a burden?" then you're not smart enough for it to make a difference what the answer is.

Being highly intelligent is depressing.

I developed a schizophrenia when I was young. Thought I saw auras, spirits, and felt other's emotions.

Always been bored with school. I never put much effort into things I'm not immediately good at.

I hate other people with a passion. I genuinely wish I were the only human alive. I describe this as asocial misanthropy.

I cannot relate to others. I hate what they do and what they fill their lives with. I'm disgusted by it all.

I hate myself for lacking motivation to fulfill my desires, and for self sabotaging.

I know I'm more intelligent than most others, and I think that's why I'm the way I am.

>Is being highly intelligent more of a burden than an advantage?
>is having more responsibility having more responsibility
guess we know who isn't highly intelligent

I think a more appropriate term for you is just misanthropy. Asocial misanthropy would be misanthropy defined by asociality, however that might work. But you cannot relate to others, and you hate them with a passion. They disgust you. And you hate yourself. Your misanthropy is anything but passive. It's downright hostile.

That sounds a lot more antisocial than asocial. But in that case, it becomes slightly redundant to say that misanthropy can be antisocial. You're left with misanthropy.

I do not see my actions as having any impact, so being anti-social is a stretch. Killing or harming others will do nothing for my own situation.

I've already tried to publish my theories and have sought out ways to give my ideas to the world. This proved fruitless. Thus, a positive influence won't happen.

I don't feel love anymore, and I don't know why. All I feel is disgust, repulsion, and hate. I really just want to be alone. Empty streets, buildings, parks... It's a utopia for me.

Antisociality depicts an unwillingness or an inability to act friendly or normal towards others. Furthermore, it can be defined as unwanted behavior as a result of some kind of disorder.Asociality, however, depicts a lack of motivation or cause to engage socially altogether. If a lack of impact does not make you antisocial, it cannot make you asocial either.

And the way you've explained things, it's less that you can't find a reason or opportunity to associate with others, and more that you'd rather not associate with others because they repulse you. You said it yourself: disgust, repulsion, and hate are all that you feel.

Intelligence is one of many mental facets that can determine a person's socioeconomic success. Relying on it to accomplish and justify everything is seldom a good strategy.
I'd argue drive is exponentially more influential.

Truly intelligent people can generally solve problems, converse clearly, and learn quickly.
Look at Feynman or Einstein.
You can be a social butterfly without being clever.
You can be a big nerd like me who is able to focus really hard on certain things.
However, really smart people are just good at everything. They're almost always successful if they want to be and they're conversant. There are probably very few truly smart people on Yea Forums.

Cause hes a faggot

the more aware you are of the world, the more depressed you become

yes obivously

nqfa8WW

I feel like im talking to stupid people and that i have to litterally detail everything i say all the time. Its exhausting really, specially because i dont consider myself highly intelligent.

This. So many of you are saying that being super smart is a HUGE advantage, and that someone would be stupid to think otherwise...

The fact is that the more you know, the more you understand the reality of the world and can foresee events faster than others. Having this knowledge quickly allows you to judge situations sooner, and can make one optimistic (and more often than not, pessimistic). This can lead to depression. Many legitimate geniuses show a history of chronic depression. Being aware of the negatives is a characteristic of a smart person in general. This is based off of facts, not feelings.

if you're ACTUALLY SMART and not some closet shut in faggot who thinks they're smart because they get bullied and took an online IQ test, then you'd know that constantly thinking about intelligence and awareness of all the shit in the world makes you stupider than the people who don't think about it, because at the end of the day they're the ones that are living their best lives, happy and carefree

Being super smart is a huge advantage. You would be a fool to think it wasn't. The more you know, the more you understand. The more you understand, the more you can anticipate. The more you can anticipate, the more you can judge.

Fun fact: the more you understand, the more you can anticipate. Chronic depression isn't caused by having high hopes, either. You stop at having the smart person be aware of the negatives, without having the smart person also effectively working to counteract those negatives, with more capacity than a normal person would ever possess. They have a high intelligence. Their abilities for reasoning and understanding should be above that of the average person; they should be equipped to figure out happiness.

And since you favor fact over feeling, you should know that mind over matter isn't just a cliche.

Damian? Hi DMX.

Reading most of these posts that are more than just satirical nonsense for the sake of it I feel a few huge aspects are missed or underplayed. There are multiple types of high intellects. A good example is the individual who can understand patterns, problem solve very well although they lack a lot of common sense when it comes to social understanding i.e. the typical high functioning autist or "Yea Forumstard" if you will. There are people who are literal geniuses when it comes to understanding and controlling interpersonal relationships and getting what they want from others yet genuinely struggle to understand morality and some who well being socially graceful lack in most other forms of intellect. i.e. your typical narcissist, ASPD variant, or hot chick... I kid. But if your brain has a higher capacity than those around you to understand why things happen how they do, how to manipulate things or people for the best result, and being able to completely grasp the emotions of others and also empathize with an individual that is true intelligence, or genius if you want to sound pretentious. It is the most burdening advantage you can ever have... Like you can make changes to your life and the lives of those around you a lot easier than most but it can drive you insane to truly understanding why the world is so ugly and understanding why the most fucked up things are just social norms and knowing that no matter what you do things are always going to be the same in society and as much as humans think we are becoming better we are just learning to mask our animistic nature in different ways and nothing will ever truly change with us.

It is in all of our nature to want to "save the world" but deep down we all have some understanding that all any of us do with our existence is make everything worse. When you understand that there is no going back.

As that one post goes,

"If you only knew how bad things really are."

Being very intelligent gives you a wider spectrum of understanding. This can lead to a more fulfilling life IF YOU APPLY yourself, and only IF. Otherwise, one is drastically more susceptible to negativity. All of the cognitive abilities function quicker with fast reaction times. However, if one takes longer to analyze something, they are far more likely to second-guess themselves and are prone to "grass is greener syndrome." They know something better is out there, hence the unwillingness to settle and experience boredom easily.

As Neil DeGrasse Tyson once said, "There is nothing in this world that is so important that I'm willing to tattoo onto my body, because I want to leave enough room for something better that may come along in the future."

Highly intelligent people are much more prone to think about negative circumstances and dwell on them simply because they think about ALL of the circumstances.

If you don’t use it then yes it’s a burden.
Because you will always know what you could have accomplished and wasted it.

Exactly what you said is true.

I have a question, then.

IFF application provides a fruitful life, given high intelligence, barring application, what are you left with, exactly? To clarify: what is it that you are measuring? It can't necessarily be success, that's precluded by the presence of application.

Wasted talent.

Which is going to look really bad, because you are highly intelligent, people were expecting more out of you, which means more disappointment. Higher intelligence can also lead to a more susceptible perception of you to others.

Let me rephrase that last sentence.

Having higher intelligence makes one more susceptible to making others have a negative perception of you.

The problem lies with suggesting that IFF you apply yourself, that you will live a fruitful life, assuming high intelligence.

That completely diminishes the utility of intelligence, let alone high intelligence. If the fruitful life is kept behind a figurative gate that can only be unlocked by application, intelligence would have nothing to do with it. High intelligence, would have nothing to do with it. Not little to nothing to do with it, as not even an amount of high intelligence would provide the application.

Would it?

And let's suppose you were capable of analyzing your own self with high intelligence. Tell me, could you or could you not better anticipate and judge your own processes? Would you or would you not learn, if not already know, how to manipulate the variables to achieve some kind of altered state, if not strictly happiness, were you to treat yourself as something to be understood? Can you or can you not go for a walk outside, or paint something? Exercise? Read? Build something? Cook? Go out on the town? Sleep? Meditate? If you can't, what, assuming that you are otherwise healthy and of high intelligence, would stop you?

Have you never willed yourself to do something? Have you never, ever, course-corrected the worse half of your thoughts? Have you ever tried to unseat yourself from patterns of behavior that you should clearly know to cause self-detriment, assuming high intelligence, the intelligence that enables quicker analysis, the kind of analysis which should naturally lead to an increased frequency of trial-and-error learning? I cannot honestly say that it is intelligent to live an entire life without having done this even once, not if you don't have the excuse of a hereditary disease.

With that seemingly boundless capacity for focus on variables, there should be at least one time where one should notice that they can think about thinking. Imagine, being able to manipulate oneself and the environment. Or, to just know that it could be done. To possess that ability and never use it would be exactly what you'd called it. Wasted talent.

And what good is wasting an entire mind? For one, it's not very smart.

Can't that also be analyzed and turned into data one could act upon?

I think what you're trying to get at here is motivation.

Motivation is a completely different subject, and can apply to all people... not just the highly intelligent. It's also something that a lot of people struggle with, myself included.

Yes, if a highly intelligent person uses motivation as a tool to apply his or her abilities, then they would have unlimited potential. This is the best case scenario and would make a superior human being.

The fact of the matter is that a genius has a much wider range to either succeed or fail than the average person. They will either experience and think about the highest of highs or the lowest of lows. Motivation is just a tool used to get there (or not). Motivation and intelligence aren't mutually exclusive... you either have it or you don't. Still trying to figure out what causes a lack of motivation.

>Motivation is a completely different subject

>This can lead to a more fulfilling life IF YOU APPLY yourself
>and only IF
Motivation is not truly spontaneous, nor is the motivation I refer to necessarily uncaused. The frequency of opportunity for self-introspection should be uncannily high for someone with high intelligence, specifically. Especially due to one of the conclusions you provided: negative perceptions are prevalent. Negative perception of the self, or awareness of negative perception of the self by others, must necessarily arise from analysis of the self, alongside other variables.

And so it cannot be that motivation is an entirely different subject.

>one is drastically more susceptible to negativity
The implication here is that there is a negativity. And the prior sentence suggests that application is a necessary thing for a more fulfilling life, something whose presence seems to be the antithesis of negativity, and whose absence seems to result in the reinforcement of said negativity. Naturally, this should mean that there is a lack of drive, as something must drive you to apply yourself. It would be fairly unreasonable for someone to apply themselves for no discernible reason at all.

You must be, motivated, to apply yourself. That is hardly unrelated to this. In your own words:
>if a highly intelligent person uses motivation as a tool to apply his or her abilities
>then they would have unlimited potential
>motivation as a tool to apply his or her abilities

>Motivation and intelligence aren't mutually exclusive
>you either have it or you don't
>Still trying to figure out what causes a lack of motivation
Having awareness of a struggle with motivation should already provide the very beginnings of an effectual remedy. You can't not know why, it's especially unreasonable. You know that you have an issue with motivation, how could you not have a general idea of why, if awareness of negativity is also a factor?

Not inherently. There's a correlation. But it comes down to the individual and their choices in the end.
If you aren't building a mentally and emotionally sustainable life for yourself you can't blame statistics and correlations.

I disagree. I think bounding yourself to a standard of specific accomplishment is more likely to make you miserable than happy.
In allegedly IQ 126. I'm a university drop out, and I work in skill trades. I kind of wanted to be an astrophysicist and probably could have achieved it if I applied myself.

But I didn't. And im happy with my life. I don't waste a second crying about what could have been. There's no reason to give a fuck. I make my life work for me.

Higher intellect tends to collate with schizophrenia/autism.
Sometimes I wish I wasn't as intelligent. Sometimes I think people are talking about me in a negative way when they aren't.
I like being smart. I can do anything I want, and do it well. But it has it's down sides.

Motivation is a subject.

Intelligence is another.

Combining the two for application is yet another.

They are only related if you combine the two.

Black ≠ White

Black + White = Grey

Also unrelated, there are no black and whites in life. Everything is grey.

I think it's about balance intellectual types seem to lose touch with their empathy, where as right brainers could do with being more in touch with there intellect.

>Motivation is a subject
>Intelligence is another
And someone once said that Intelligence and Motivation were not mutually exclusive. It's not unreasonable for them to be connected, especially not if I move to establish the causal link between them.

And if there are no blacks or whites in life, why is it that you mentioned black not equaling white? Why did you equate Intelligence and Motivation to those things? If Intelligence can be one subject, Motivation another, and their sum yet another, why does the relationship between them form only when they are combined? Why suggest that there is a dichotomy, and yet even now, suggest that everything is mutual? The conversation is about intelligence. You mentioned negativity and application, as did I in other words, and so we must be having an exchange where Intelligence and Motivation, separate subjects, are being discussed together.

Everything being grey should be the equivalent of the combination of Intelligence and Motivation, a subject comprised of at least a few subjects.

Depends on how you use your knowledge. Ring more aware of what’s going around can certainly cause one to become sadder. Read flowers for algernon. However I’d consider myself somewhat smart and my outlook on life is able to. Stay positive and that’s just who I am. Depends on who gets it

intelligence is good for success and happiness in life. but if you're so different from others that you can't connect with anyone, chances at success and happiness will be low.
so, yeah, intelligence can be more of a burden than an advantage, but in most cases it's not.

if you want to find out more about this, just websearch "depression in gifted children/adolescents" or similar.

Being intelligent is only a burden depending on what you know.

If you are a Trump supporter you are not intelligent

I am though
I am very smart

>the reality of the world
Redundant
>allows you... make one...
Indeterminate reflexive collocations
>This can lead to depression
Non sequitur
>geniuses show a history
Pluralization error
>aware of the negatives
Unusual phrasing

Ask Donald Trump on a tweet he will tell you his burdens being smarter than everyone else.

He's not an idiot, but I really don't like being more educated than the POTUS.

I meant to say that they are mutually exclusive... my mistake.

There aren't black and whites in life. You as a person decide to make something a black or a white. That's man making a choice.

Same with Yes and No. Same with Right and Wrong. They only exist because we decided to make them exist. They are "made-up" concepts. This applies to the laws too.

Is being highly intelligent more of a burden than an advantage? You might say one thing and I might say another. Do either of us really know the true answer?

What makes someone highly intelligent?

What is considered high intelligence?

What is intelligence?

Why does intelligence exist?

Why do we exist?

Why?

^ Everything boils down to a one word question.

Nobody knows the answer.

Well your not no one is more intelligent than the potus, prove me wrong.

>I meant to say that they are mutually exclusive
If that's your mistake, I really do have to press you on having talked about negativity, then. Why did you mention negativity, if intelligence and motivation are to be mutually exclusive?

>There aren't black and whites in life
>You as a person decide to make something a black or a white
Yes, but
>I meant to say that they are mutually exclusive
?

At the very least, why would you say that they were mutually exclusive?

>Do either of us really know the true answer
At least one of us might?
>What makes someone highly intelligent
>What is considered high intelligence
We seemed to agree on what makes someone highly intelligent. We disagree particularly when it comes to a finite aspect of what is considered high intelligence, but ultimately, it's a matter of what influences the higher cognition that we fail to agree upon.
>What is intelligence
You've given your take on higher intelligence, at the very least. But this is starting to get away from the subject of intelligence or motivation, or both. These questions don't need to really be answered for us to have a meaningful exchange.
>Why does intelligence exist
>Why do we exist
>Why
These especially don't have to be answered, and don't truly contribute to the subject as far as high intelligence goes, considering that at the very least, high intelligence can be discussed without having to identify the cause of intelligence itself.

>Nobody knows the answer
That's especially presumptuous.

The ability to problem solve, it's something that has pushed our evolution. We are not strong we use our minds to accomplish everything. Just like ants every human contributes to society and we use what past generations have discovered as foundations to our own discoveries. Some people are better at problem solving than others but to claim you are more intelligent is just narcissism. Now i can tell you sucess is boring that golden carrot once you have it life is just pointless.

The ability to problem-solve is something that has pushed our evolution. Some people are better at something that pushed our evolution. Some people have more evolution-pushing skills.

That sounds way more narcissistic.

Tribalism is for low intelligent faggots such as yourself.

Not a genius but surely knowing everything would make life really dull. Imagine someone you care about being ill and you knowing exactly how long they have to live.

But do you know how to save them?

I like where this is going i think brings up a really good point if you did know it all I feel like life wouldn't be as thrilling or as exciting. can't cure time dude, or shit who knows perhaps you can but it would be futile everyone dies.

this thread is making my head hurt

Another scenario: you would never have true enjoyment again. Picture this, you're watching tv and your favourite show is on. Usually you would laugh at the jokes but now you find yourself focussing on the camerawork and lighting. Your unimmmersed.

Wow, there are actual highly intelligent people here on Yea Forums. What the actual fuck

Nice teeth.

Mine too actually.

Nah you sound like a faggot

are you a narcissist?

Everyone wishes.

Einstein was an outlier. Nobody will ever match his intelligence for a long long time. His ideas, thoughts, and equations were second to none. He is the prime example of somebody who is highly intelligent and super successful. Arguably the GOAT of intelligence, with Stephen Hawking, Leonardo Da Vinci, Galileo, Richard Dawkins, and Neil DeGrasse Tyson following close behind.

Bold of you to assume anyone here has an IQ over 73, OP.

my IQ is 74, so your fucking wrong ya fag

Subtle meme

shut up nigger, get out of here with your higher intelligence

if you have to ask, you don't have to worry about it

don't have to be that smart to realize that the world is bullshit

Dropping acid and having a come to moment doesn't make you intelligent. You arnt seeing through the bullshit, you're just sad because you used up all your dopamine
