- The intellectually gifted (IQ 126+) are, by some interpretation, so different from the broad population as to be considered outliers.
I found that it was incredibly easy to conceptualize metaphysical and metalogical concepts. Logic, in my mind is agile and bendable. Even the craziest concepts backed by reasoning are there if you look for it. There is reasoning for everything. This tends to make people feel uncomfortable even though an idea is an idea, there is no emotion tied to it.

I have a lot of dumb ideas. I tend to write them down and then revisit them from time to time. Sometimes, the world and/or my own understanding of it has moved enough to where it can now be taken to a new place. If you’d like to talk, I’d love to hear from you.
Enjoy!

Honestly I stopped struggling a lot when I stopped socializing 😂😂
lol that's quite a tactic!
me too
Toxic, less intelligent or aware people I guess may be difficult to argue with when it comes to common agreement, interest or vision.
However socializing even with a few individuals is a sign of intelligence too and open-mindedness, the expression says better to be alone than in bad company.
LoL same here. Yours was the first comment I saw and I am definitely to the same point with society. I spend my days learning as. much as I can.
there will be a lot of struggle until people don't learn that grades and intelligence don't go together
Perception
Just got the worst grade of my class in physics because i was supposed to write down the formulas i used and the calculations i did. Shit i always feel like I'm stroking my ego commenting these and afterwards delete them but my only hope is that someone in a similar situation can relate and feel better cuz it's annoying sometimes.
School is utter bullshit btw. So i agree. I noticed that i learned the same stuff in middle school but they just added an extra zero every year in math class so it became pretty boring real quick. I never wanted to learn how to read cause i already could read. They always thought i was lazy but as they started to test me on my reading they quickly noticed that i could read and understand better than kids normally can that age. This story is when i was 4 to 6 years old. Very helpfull thing that i have a huge memory storage in my head
@@funkwhyoflegend2941 i would do that with math i do it in my head and don’t write down stuff
@@zezeeze12 yeah i do the same and he's asking the formula i use which is usually density x volume = weight
I'm aware I am intelligent and also have ADHD which has contributed to academic underachievement. I find social situations difficult because most people want to do 'small talk' and I love talking about a subject deeply. I can emulate the more typical way of socialising, but it's exhausting and I feel like I'm masking and not being my authentic self. Above average intelligent can certainly correlate with poor mental health.
why not try making the act of interacting with other people - although uncomfortable or meaningless at first - an opportunity to test your intelligence by simply engaging and squeezing everything you can out of any subject possible, either that being trivia, gossip, the mundane - or any other topic the other person might bring up?
Same
@@robertus55 tried that.. then you make people uncomfortable by knowing more about their favorite interests or hobbies than they do 😂 I think one solution is to volunteer time teaching something to people who really want/need that knowledge. Compassionate giving is rewarding and recipients will be grateful and less judgemental. Teaching also gives you the opportunity to test what you know and dive deeper into a particular domain.
The fact you are saying that makes me think you arnt as intelligent as you think
Fix your problems, Einstein.
I'm so smart I tricked myself into thinking I was stupid because I realized I didn't have to try so hard at a young age.
Same! I actually dumbed myself down purposely
Thats not the definiton of being smart tho
@@cookiediangelo8511 calm down man being smart isnt everything in life
Pretty sure you were just stupid
@@cookiediangelo8511 pretty sure you are a frustrated incel who puts yourself in a much higher pedestal than anyone you know. And for that, you’re stupid. Also, judging by your writing I can reach to the same conclusion.
I like being left alone in my room. That's where magic happens
That is indeed where the magic happens!
Reminds of “The Beach Boys” song, “In my room”😉🦋
For me it’s my car
Yeah. Just me and my dog😊
Yep
I've spend too many years of my life being told that i'm stupid, getting into trouble at work for seeing failures before they happen, for seeing the things other people can't see, being told I have an attitude problem or that i'm a pessimist.......
Then in the last few years I did some IQ tests, the results came back from 136 to 149, and I feel like i've wasted so many years being gaslighted and bullied into acting dumb.
I'm now at a point where I just don't know what to do any more, I need a job again, but i'm worried about working for someone who sees me as a threat.
Thank you for sharing! My 2 cents: if you are good at something - at some point - someone will see you as a threat anyway. People are weird. Don't bother. Do your thing.
do your own things bro.Create your own jobs :)be your own boss
Ez i just manipulted those who did that to me and now everything is easier
The replies you’ve gotten so far, are unrealistic. To me at least. It’s impossible to “do your own thing” unless a miracle happens (which is unlikely). The problem might be the “attitude problem” which you’ve mentioned. I believe, that you can do so much more with people supporting you and being by your side - and to do that you need to treat them well and try to maybe control your attitude. I’m sorry you grew up in such a toxic and harmful environment. Have a nice day/evening!
@@user-eb2fz1we9k don't agree with all you day here... workbullies are uncivilised chimps 🙊🙊🙊
Sometimes I wish that I could sit every 15yr old struggling with acceptance down & explain to them that they are destined to become vastly more interesting & well-rounded people than those who shun them socially as teenagers. Those "popular" kids are having their peak experience in life now. In just a few short years, they will find themselves in unfulfilling careers & loveless marriages, raising a brood of mediocre offspring, & never doing anything remarkable, or experiencing all that life & the world around them really has to offer. Too concerned with how they appear to others, feeling the need to be "normal" & fit in, afraid of treading on unfamiliar ground, trying new things, even contemplating "radical" ideas, they will play it safe & go on doing what is expected of them, believing what the majority believes, & never venture too far outside the lines. High school will be the pinnacle of their lives. Let them have it. It will likely be the last time they genuinely feel good about themselves.
You, however, have not yet begun to blossom into the amazing person you are going to be. Numbed to what others think by years of being called a weirdo, nerd, freak or crazy person, as a young adult you won't hesitate to try new things, go to exotic places, consider radical ideas. As most "weird" kids in school are highly intelligent, & find joy in learning, you will continue to pick up new ideas, more information about the world you live in & the people who inhabit it. You will follow your passions, rather than falling In line. You will continue to grow & evolve for the rest of your life, your life will be far more fulfilling & filled with a far greater variety of experiences, & you will be much happier in the long run. You will form your self-esteem by referring to your experiences & accomplishments, not from the opinions of others. People will be drawn to you because you will be interesting, provide unique insight, & will be less dogmatic & more open-minded to the views of others. the relationships you form later in life will be stronger & healthier because they will be based on who you are, not some facade you put up in order to fit in & be popular, & they will be with other people with whom you have more in common, those who have also taken the road less travelled & continued to evolve as human beings, people you never would have encountered as a "popular" kid, sticking to the relative safety of conformity & being "normal." In short, you will be more well-rounded, psychologically sound, pleasant to be around & autonomous, & you will have healthier relationships & more productive interactions with the people around you. You'll have a better life. Those "popular" kids who taunt & shun you now, will envy you & the life you have, in just a few short years.
Yeah, sometimes I wish I could do that, assure all the outsider kids in the world that this angst they are experiencing is only temporary, & in due time they will be the ones whose company & friendship people will seek out. But then I remember that this angst, this emotional pain that they are going through is critical to the process. Without it, they would not go out into the World as fearless vanguards. To take away that pain would alter the outcome. So I look back on the amazing life I've had, with all it's ups & downs, filled with wonder & disappointment & joy & pain, appreciate the dynamics of it all, & keep that insight to myself, leaving the "weird" kids to suffer through it, knowing they'll be glad they didn't know.
Wow this is amazing! Thanks for sharing! Hopefully I can come back with an extended thankful reply tomorrow
@@robertus55 you're welcome. I'm glad you appreciated it, & it wasn't just some rambling monologue of mine. I meant every word of it! ✌️
I hope they understand your life
Thanks man :j I’m 17 I learnt this late
I feel the same bro, sometimes i run into some of my old classmates and i see how miserable they are, especially when always smiling the way they know me, but there's a hint of shame behind their pleasantries. Its a little sad but i hope it gives them a little happiness to know that there are still some people who are genuine, and so they dont have to keep up the facade to feel accepted forever
We live in a world where smart people are called freaks,nerds,and the stupid are cool 🥺 Struggle is real ! Thank you for this and keep it up ! ❤
I do hope that we are gradually moving towards a time where the exact opposite is going to become the default. Thank you!
@@robertus55 I really hope so ❤️
Yeah, but things are changing. The difference in my short life alone is huge!
The world wants you to be dumb and ignorant. That is how you will be controlled.
The answer is because we live in capitalism. Capitalism doesn't need rational and objective population because they are a threat to the status quo. The nerds in most cases are not intelligent. They are usually fixated on one thing only, and appear to be intelligent to those who don't know what being intelligent really means.
In my opinion it is smart enough to conceal your intellect with ordinary people and make them friends in order to not be exluded socially. When you meet someone who is similar to you, let them know, so that you could trully connect with them. Concealment is the best tactics.
Sometimes I can smell them from miles, like they were more saturated or… I cannot explain that exactly, but I am driven towards them. For me it’s not as much about exchanging explicit information, for me good interaction is about exchanging ideas and feelings…
Its so stressful trying to hide everything and even when you dont hide people dont understand. Ugh! So frustrating
I did hide at school, in adult life you just find a circle that suits you. I did this way. Took a place in the Accademy of siences and has become the less smartest of the room.
That's exactly the way it is
that is exactly what I do. but it just gets so exhausting and I feel like I’ve lost my true sense of self through all the masks. and I’m never getting anything from these social interactions. I’m surrounded by people who talk so much without really saying anything, and I’m fucking tired of it.
Sir i have high IQ but i want to stay as far away from math as is humanly possible
go heavy on languages than!
@@eternalatake1899math is a mere imitation of the “true language”
We can come shockingly close with math alone but to truly grasp and understand such a tongue requires more
I know why u wanna stay as far away from maths as possible if its the same reason as me. I dont do maths cause i kind of dont need it in my life the only math solutions i use +,-,x,: those are the only ones the rest if em are for engineers rocket science etc which i dont wanna do.
@Eternal Atake yeah thats very fun but when will we use maths to talk to aliens ? We arent gonna invent interstellar space travel in another 100 years... I get what you mean tho but it doesnt seam very usefull for people who arent scientists and nasa/spacex engineers
You just described myself. Asperger's. I truly feel that it is a genetic aspect in terms of evolution.
If we can learn how to better control it - we could have very interesting outcomes
@@robertus55 I've been trying
@@vexvesper simply continue to do what you do then. Micro steps. Take notes. Analyze your state. Journal. Meditation. It all adds up. Every single day.
Me too. And ADD. I have a very hard time caring about subjects in school. Mostly science.
I also have this. Though my communication levels have improved. Vex do you also find all basic things boring. I remember everything when I wish i didnt. I am only good with computer and technology though. Cant remember the road names on the street i live but can remember programming languages and many other things. Especially numbers.
Idk why is it so hard to accept being intelligent or better. Probably cause I want to believe there are more intelligent people and people on way higher levels than me. It makes me feel like I’m living in a simulation fr so hard to find someone like me
Agreed. It's really hard to find others who I can relate to because of this intellect that I have been cursed with.
yep, the distribution is unfortunately not in the favor of the smarter or smartest, but rarity means more distinguishable features.
@@modernexistence4206 have you been to university? I find it really hard to believe you would be one of the smartest there, especially in a STEM field.
I thought I was smart too until I studied math + physics in university and met someone who actually won our national physics olympiad and was something like top 10 in the math olympiad nationally. He clearly showed I wasn't all that smart after all. And someone else in my year was around that same ballpark.
In a condensed environment like that you really have to be one of histories greatest geniuses to be an outlier.
sometimes the hardest thing is dealing with people who are not too smart at understanding things without much detail, ofc it sometimes it can feel a nice kinda way by diving into my mind and explaining complex things in simple detail so they understand but after awhile its very depressing when you feel like you're the only one problem solving and having no one to turn to with similar intellect, though i wouldn't be surprised if a few smart people watched this video and found it reinvigorating.
Mycroft Holmes : If you seem slow to me, Sherlock, can you imagine what real people are like? I'm living in a world of goldfish.
Me too!
You're not alone! My thoughts exactly!!! Its fun at first, but becomes tiresome relatively quickly.
What the fuck do you people expect? You are part of like 3% of the population or less the higher it goes.
Deny it all you want about "muh openess to ideas" and other shit, you are arrogant as fuck and stuck in a mindset of "everyone is so slow so I must feel bad".
My friend is 130 IQ verified, I'm 85-90 IQ "semi" verified, we still get on well as friends and he's not bored out of his skull because he has learned the art of not taking shit so seriously and be such a whining hardass.
He does not go out of his way to whine about it internally. He takes it as a vacation from being a braingeek all the time when I visit, and we simply do what we think is fun. Relax a fucking bit and stop being such a "woe is me".
He used to be like you people btw, until he got a reality check from a "inferior" person like me, that despite all the smarts of the world, a possible fist to the face for being a douchebag is not really a smart outcome, and I told him as much when he did the typical "im very smart" routine. I'm a practical person, I think slowly, and by god I wish I was as intelligent as you people because I'd make proper use of it instead of sulking, but it is what it is and I can't change that. So I stopped trying to change a unchangeable part and learned to live with it.
I swear you intelligent people are so intelligent it's as if you wrap around back to mental retardation territory sometimes. Take a fucking vacation and just have some fun in life, it does not always need to be logical either. Just fucking do it.
Here, lemme put it into a checklist:
1. Stop taking shit so seriously.
2. Stop expecting the world to change, it wont.
3. Stop taking shit so seriously.
4. Stop expecting the world to change, it wont.
5. Stop taking shit to seriously.
6. C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!
I don't consider myself to be Super smart but some days I feel like the only way to be happy is to either be blissfully ignorant or distract yourself from how bad life can be sometimes.
I try to focus on being others
@@robertus55 what do you mean by that?
same, I sometimes find myself wanting to be normal and totally ignorant and absolutely not interested about what I know, and find people like myself very easily and be happy with the warmth from people that understand and relate to you. I am terrified of the possibility that I can't find that.
I see myself as smart but I realized I was not that smart and I was not unique, it was just the people, their perception and of course I can't stop being a human, ego is always there but atleast I can see him now.
well that's a nice way of self discovery!
Being both forgetful and yet having a good memory is how i describe myself, i remember the stupidest stuff, useless stuff and some useful stuff when i need them, but i also forget a lot
Natural selection
I heard "better memory", and thought d'oh, then "forgetful", and thought maybe I'm still in.
I enjoy being around intelligent people and not having to dumb myself down or be fake, wich is what I did in my youth to stop being bullied and try to fit in....I still didn't fit in.
Good that you have the internet!
I still cant fit in some social circles , for example drunk people
I feel calm and creative around highly intelligent people , but its hard to find
I felt very happy and creative when I was with Spanish photographers UK It anlyanist Deutsche sportsman and so on . When they left , I feel all alone in Eastern Europe
say something smart, I dare you
When you seek real connection and authentic curious people, finding camaraderie Gets harder. But once you do 🖖🙏
that is true! It is also nice to remember that you are a node in a network
truest shit i heard
@WastingMyLife I dont know about telepathy but I agree and relate on the rest, I love reality although I am not against fiction, I prefer focusing on truth which is much more reliable. Unfortunately it's extremely rare nowadays to meet someone anywhere near the truth or be factual.
From one Robert to another, thank you, this helped me a lot.
I've always struggled with the kinds of things mentioned in the video, always assuming it was owing to Autism or something, since I managed to get into MENSA age 16 or so. My best friend (who was also pretty smart) tried too, and whereas I just made it, he just missed. The weirdest thing, my girlfriend of the time was more upset about our smart friend not getting in, and that I must have just got lucky. Always a pleasure having definitive proof of your problem solving abilities (which is all intelligence really seems to be) outright denied to your face. Reminds me of how many people in high-school used to bully me for being dumb (Though they were more likely to call me retarded, which as mentioned, being an undiagnosed Autistic at the time, stung especially) and how utterly floored they all were when I passed every single exam at above the C grade. in other words, even if it leads to others calling you egotistical or conceited, you have to ignore those who discredit you, and not be afraid to fight off those who would stand in your way, since they're usually just doing it out of fear that you can threaten their position socially.
Well that's my take at least- hope this helps someone else out there :)
hey thank you and I'm glad you found it useful!
Well done! I really enjoyed this video. The concepts, animations, and narration were really well done.

life is an opportunity
@@robertus55 exactly what I meant
Lately I have been so frustrated with practically every social interaction. I see such stupidity in people and constantly feel underwhelmed by any topic brought up by someone. It is as though I know how the conversation is going to go before they even say the words, which leaves me knowing it is a pointless interaction.
I can really relate to your frustration with social interactions lately. It's so draining when you feel like you're constantly encountering superficial conversations and can almost predict how unfulfilling they're going to be.
A lot of people will ostracize those of intellect, not realizing all the things that they have done for the advancement of society. Every piece of technology had to be engineered by someone who was likely not wasting their life talking about how good their high school football career was constantly.
we can most likely order food through an app thanks to some "weirdo" who did not want to go out of the house to order food and interact with people.
The thing about intelligence is that often times, once you get into higher levels, you get bored of the teacher trying to explain to the rest, after all youve understood that part and then proceed to lose focus because the teacher wont be friking concise in how they teach
You gotta search for higher grounds then
I can sure relate in that kid in the video, although he was lucky. Not once in all my life, have I had anyone understand me. I've always been the oddball, who didn't fit in, and people were either scared of me or made fun of me. You live a lonely life when you're intelligent
Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
How to change , how to get what I deserve in life , financially and physically
I am 26 still have no friends, never ince had a girlfriend bullied every grade even college. At least i make over 100k a year. However everything is still boring. So I play many video games just to quelch boredom. But imo even video games become boring. Like everything else.
@@ZacharyTech7 same sometimes I wish to be less curious and thoughtful.
@@ivan5844 for real. i allegedly have an iq of 138, however im not sure just how reliable that is. but, psychologists and mental health professionals have named me as “bright” and “extremely smart.” however, i wish i didn’t think the way i do. my thought patterns are what make me depressed. i realize things about life others do not. it separates me and leaves me lonely and bored. i’ve found watching shows and anime as a way to help cure my boredom. the worst part is that i’m only 16.
When i was a child i used to drink 5 cups of coffee just to feel the caffeine buzz, it is very mild but it gets you in an altered state of mind definitely, nowdays it turned to alcohol, weed and many other drugs it doesn't matter i just hate beign sober, it doesn't matter to me what i am on as long as im not sober, its been a real struggle although i never wnt into a serious addiction
Thank you for sharing!
Well made! Thank you for sharing this 💚
Thanksgiving you for watching!
I have struggled my entire life, and I believe it's due to my intellect. It's not fun. And I have had to dumb myself down a lot to help make life easier..... I don't necessarily like to do that, but when I'm authentically myself, I don't relate to many people.... And it's a pain... 😕
Same, I’ve been smoking weed for years to dumb my brain down. Only way to feel somewhat normal as there’s no medication we can take for our brain like people with AD(H)D can.
social blending ^_^
lol
I had a thought in my mind: What if the intelligent people lived and kept multiplying with other intelligent people? Would that make the average IQ higher for mankind so that we could reach the stars and possibly come up with space travel? I think most intelligent people die a lonely death, and they never had a chance to get kids.
That's interesting! Thank you for sharing!
Nope. We started inventing cool stuff but then we invented TikTok and everything went downhill from there 😂 now we are rolling towards cavemen, but what's interesting is that not many of us today would know how to start a fire... So maybe we went backwards even more than cavemen?! 🤦♂️ 😂
There's something called 'regression to the norm' which means that highly intelligent people breeding with each other would sometimes produce children of average or below average intelligence. This keeps the basis of society varied and means that you will still get the higher thinkers but also the doers and craftsmen and other types of workers you need to make society (as it is currently) function. Can't have all ivory tower thinkers or average people - society thrives on difference.
@@andanotherthing619yep the bell curve 😊
Our life confort has a very good correlation with our IQ, and it has to do with what is survival to us nowadays. Also, there are researches that shows us that smart people seek for smart people as well to have a relationship. But, as they are very few in comparison with the average, if some change happens in our population in relation to IQ average, it will take thousands of years.
i am very gifted (+140 IQ) but i didn't struggle to make friends or so but ive never been understood by other people ever in my life. Too sad.
why do you want to be understood?
@@robertus55 when i came up with ideas all the time, nobody believed me. It's really difficult to explain how i see the world. So they call me liar or so... When i was a kid I was always in the spotlight. Care, love etc. Now, I don't feel so cared. That gives me a sense of worthlessness

Salutations Robert!
This sounded a lot like you were describing my life, and you even used my name, many of the events and benchmarks that you mentioned happened in my life as well. This was weird because so much of what you described were things that happened to me. I was tested when I was in second grade, an IQ test, which the results were never revealed to me. The school district was interested in sending me to a special school where I could learn at my own pace, but instead, they just sent me to a different school, where I was isolated from my friends, and had difficulty fitting in, and I also had to deal with bullying.
I’m much older now, but I don’t look my age. And I am still trying to feed my appetite for knowledge.
Thank you for posting this video!
Please have an excellent and awesome day!
Hey there!
I'm so glad to hear that my video felt like a reflection of your own life. It's pretty wild when you can relate to someone's experiences so closely, right? That IQ test and the whole school situation seem to have left quite an impact on you --- dealing with isolation and bullying is tough...
Also, age is just a number, my friend ^_^. It's awesome that you still have that hunger for knowledge and don't look your age. Keep on feeding that appetite!
Thanks a bunch for watching and sharing your thoughts! I hope you have an absolutely fantastic day ahead!
I think I developed ADHD symptoms because at a very young age I started dissociating and daydreaming from trauma and being chronically understimulated mentally.
I remember being forced to read really basic children's books instead of encyclopedias and more complex fiction. So toxic.
Labeling those experiences as toxic is understandable. It's frustrating and disheartening when your environment doesn't nurture or acknowledge your intellectual needs. I hope you've found ways to engage your mind and passions since then.
I have a really sticky situation. Im both intellegent, prefering to be alone exploring my many stange interests, the most recent, observing passing NEOs with nasas databases, but also have extremely high empathy and developed social skills, often being able to express othet peoples emotions better then they can, before they can. Ive been called a "genius" so many bloody times...i hate it. As a career musician, I have so much empathy for actual geniuses. Oh how they have suffered to get to where they are.
thank you for sharing!
Such is the curse of being intelligent.

@Jemuzu1996 ^_^
I enjoy conceptualizing and problem solving in the format of videogame creation. I enjoy the concept of balancing fun with mechanics in a way that is still engaging. It's a very gripping conundrum to me.
The line between brilliance and madness is very fine.. Shit, people can’t tell most of the time.
true
Lowly Intelligent People Struggle With LIFE too! for completely different reasons of course!
Hi, so I had a friend in secondary school. Key word being had. He was very intelligent, like from my perspective, super intelligent. He would be able to solve equations and problems literally as they were being said, and according to him, he was stating the most efficient way to find the correct answer (which he was).
He wasn't the most sociable of people. Most people thought he was wired weirdly, but he was good company, unknowingly funny at times. But he really struggled with his life. He would always say he couldn't sleep or could relax because he was always thinking and couldn't stop. He committed suicide his first year out of secondary school. And I always feel as though I could have done more, maybe got help from people for him.
Always ask how intelligent people are doing. My friend had real demons, and I'll never forget the struggle he went through.
I'm truly sorry about the loss of your friend. His story is a crucial reminder for all of us to look out for each other, especially those who might be silently struggling, regardless of how smart or composed they appear. It's a powerful message about the importance of empathy and mental health awareness. Your sharing of this story is meaningful - it encourages us to offer support and understanding to those around us.
This is the best, most plausible explanation. Considering the reference to Epigenetics among other things.
🧶
I go to a large school, and couldn't find any people who interested me or were like me, so I just started acting dumb and tried out small talk and eventually got some friends. It is exhausting to change my whole personality every morning, the people I hang out with don't share any of my interests and I really don't like small talk, but I'd rather have it that way then be a social outcast. That's why I just wanna get high school over with and go to a university with more like-minded people and get my first real friend.
Your strategy of engaging in small talk to make friends, even though it doesn't fulfill you, shows a lot of adaptability. It's a tough compromise to make, choosing between authenticity and social connections. I feel that looking forward to university is a positive step. It often offers a more diverse environment where you're more likely to find like-minded people and form genuine friendships. Hold onto that hope and know that high school is just one phase of your life.
This is about how Vowsh felt when he outpaced Destiny intellectually
I always thought really intelligent people struggle with life because they realize how shitty it can be and how are society social norms and culture are so bad sometimes
this is not necessarily the case
Societal norms ARE shitty because they cater only to the aggregate population which means it caters to the aggregate IQ or average IQ which is at least 1 to 2 standard deviations from a high IQ genius. So YES societal values ARE shitty.
Not forgetful, just easily distracted by new ideas and projects, time just keeps going. where they were focused on one thing, then moved to another without finishing the first
^_^
Just found this video. The aspect I struggle the most is finding a reason.
If you understand and perceive time and dimensions and what inevitably will happen in the end, what will you do?
If there is an end...why endure the pain. If there is no end, why endure endless suffering and pain?
I have to add, that I suffer from JIA/RHA since I am 2 years old...32 now.
Right now I just don't see it anymore, just absurdism and hedonism left that make some form of "sense".
If any of you know good counsel, I would be more than glad to listen and do.
Have a nice day.
While I'm not a doctor, what I can do is suggest some resources that worked for me.
I'm always looking at the biological aspect of my state of being.
Am I eating healthy?
Getting enough sleep? What about the water. Getting my exercise. My sunlight. If you can't get out of your mind, get into your body. Get out and move.
Then I would watch Jordan Peterson's Lectures on Meaning (also Maps of Meaning) ; also read his book 12 Rules for Life.
If this is too basic you can search a quick post by Derek Sivers called 'Getting out of a bad state of mind'
If you want to go ever deeper, go on the LessWrong website and post your thoughts there.
I'm sure the high IQ community there will be supportive.
@@robertus55 thank you for your reply.
I already take as good care of me as I can/the disease allows me. I love cooking, to the delight of my gf. Exercise what my arthritis allows me to do.
I like Jordan Peterson. Learned a lot of him. Did you know that his daughter also has arthritis?
I gladly will check out the suggested groups.
I really struggle with the dilemma of a limited body and an unlimited mind.
I am really happy for your answer and thank you for caring!
Have a great day!

You will discover the answer to these questions later, I suspect. Here are some quotes for you:
"“For the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountains of ignorance, he is about to conquer the highest peak; as he pulls himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries.”
"The first sip from the cup of natural science makes one an atheist, but at the bottom of the cup, God awaits."
At first it seems there is no point. Later you discover, there need BE no "point". That is a narcissistic concept. As for your JIA/RA, I can relate. I have had chronic debilitating bodywide pain and nerve damage and pain since I was 15 years old. It crippled me for many years. I am better finally, but only on medication can I be well. For many years, I did not want to continue living. Chronic pain is something you can only understand if you've experienced it.
I am sorry you are suffering. It DOES get easier to cope, but only with the right state of mind. For people like us, state of mind and the ability to control one's mental landscape and habits is essential. I finally found inner peace and an end to depression at age 30.
Cori Wood thank you for sharing your story here. I really appreciate the time you put in. I will also collect your quotes here, as I feel they pack quite a lot of meaning.
Honestly i would rather be dumb or average. I have a harder time talking to people, its hard to hold a conversation when the subject is unintresting and plain

Not a native english speaker here. So, from the beginning - i started drawing at 2. Still have that drawing, its a small aircraft. When i was 9 or 10 i started the piano playing. I was so gifted that i went through the material for 6 years in 1 or 2 maybe less. I didnt even rehearse that much, almost no rehearsal. I got bored and droped it. I started painting and thats my proffession now. I was always first in any class in any school. I applied in 2 universities and got the first place in the ranking in both lists. I never tried hard. I am lazy and easily bored. I remembet lying in my bed at 4 or 5 years old thinking what is beyond the Universe. I asked my mom and she got worried. I imagined that there is no way there is something "outside" , since its not logical that everything has an end. I hot possesded by the question of "being", of anything at all.
Time passed and i was 8 when i got my first disassostion. It was mentally exosting being here since i felt so much different. The thing is i know i can do things and do them good. But i am so full with thoughts that i end up poor.
I don’t like being alone, but I can’t deal with people who can’t keep up. Similarly, they can’t deal with me.
Expand your horizon then :D
TBH, My classmates think I am weird but they are scared of me because they think I am very smart. If I hadn't approached the people who would later become my friends, I doubt that I would have friends.
Creating your own circle can be a good approach indeed.
I used to sit in one corner of my class and my classmates just made a gap of around 2 meters with me. it was annoying. all because i didnt care for the casual trash talk they were into.
The purpose of intelligence is to find unconditioned love.
The purpose of love is to realize the unborn wisdom within.
Rumi knew this. The Buddha knew this. Jesus knew this. Lao Tzu knew this.
How did they know this? Through realizing the amazing gift that had been given to them by being born human. With the faculties and a mind of a human they set out using their precious short time in this world to utilize their human abilities to the fullest. Thus they wasted no time on distractions but found ways to focus their human resources in the transformative process of actualizing the human potential of awakening.
They discovered that unconditional love is no other than unborn wisdom that knows and is aware of everything. They knew that primordial wisdom manifest itself as love continuously and effortlessly.

Getting diagnosed for the first time this month, at the age of 27
Thought I’m stupid my entire life…never done an IQ test…unfortunately my success has never been recognized by my parents, whom are narcissists… so am I, with some psychopathic tendencies…but, I was loved and praised my entire childhood till 9 yo by my grandparents with whom I lived at the time. Shortly put. I praise the Empathy with intelligence but I hate bullies and chit chat people whom I used to call “trash without personal interests in life”, and all that because my grandfather hated similar people, especially drunks on the streets, no pity towards lazy! Mainly because they seek for an easy way to deal with life instead of confronting it… and each of us falls into a pit of pity at some point of life…
Basically I’ve been trying to “blossom” on my own without parental guidance, but its been HELL to find someone with whom you can discuss LIFE, feel empathy and just enjoy yourself for whom you actually are, instead of what you want to be… especially when you can read people by their facial expressions and voice tone to detect any bullshit they are trying to pull on you; insecurities of being used while you’re trying to compete in a healthy way…
P.S. I’ve always wondered. How can an intellectual person think he/she is stupid?
Well… now I know how… installation of insecurities by the loved ones…
Thank you for sharing your story!
Always remember, ladies and gentlemen, everyone is miserable. But someone is smart, when another isn't. Because life is so much more than trying to find happiness over and over again
just do things
No. Being happy is the natural state and everybody should be happy. The problem is that people are too stupid to understand what being happy really means. On the one hand we have the hedonists with their monkeys who are ecstatic whilst running amok, on the other hand we have the ones who torture themselves and others with a criminally idiotic mix of Aristotle and Stoicism sprinkled with some psycho garbage that is not abyssal but abysmal. The contemporary ideologies are the product of a profoundly stupid few who can read fancy philosophy books but are unable to understand their biases and lack of healthy moral fibre, which prevents them from understanding Ideas (Plato, yes). But, hey, Plato and Kant are not in fashion and they will never be in fashion. It is hopeless. Through and through.
Because fools don't seem to want us to save the world 😢❤
I always try to tell them to get the fock out the way😅🎉

I struggle a lot socially no matter where I am. I don't get along with anyone not even my family. I've grown so depressed and despite getting mental help, nothing has changed. As much as I like being alone, it's been eating away at me for a few years, and I'm only in my early 20s. I'm not good at math, but psychology, sociology, and politics interest me that last one is a red flag to me
It's okay to like being alone, but feeling lonely and struggling with depression is something entirely different, and it's important to address these feelings. Sometimes, finding a community or group with similar interests can provide a sense of belonging and understanding. Perhaps engaging with others who share your passion for psychology, sociology, or politics could open up new avenues for connection.
You're still in your early 20s, which is a time of a lot of change and growth. It's never too late to find your place and people with whom you resonate.
It can be lonely if you interpret it that way. I just learned to not be dragged into arguments. It's generally not beneficial to have a high IQ. If it was we wouldn't be outliers. I've found ways to entertain myself and I try not to expect others to understand or care about anything I have to say. I guess you can say I approach it like a Stoic, doing what I can and trying not to concern myself with things I can't control and trying not to have high expectations. I've made a committment to try my best to make it to 70. So far, it's been working and has gotten me through losing my wife and mother of my son. But that existential depression is always lingering.
I wish school picked up on the reasons for my behaviour and I wish my parents were feeding it. I learned only to suppress curiosity and interests in order not to step on anybody's toes.
And how are things going for at the moment?
@@robertus55 Still struggling not to hide from people with similar interests or talents. I tend to stay low-profile and end up being the unofficial advisor to those pulling the strings. I tend to empower or inspire changes which are generally very well appreciated, which I love and hate at the same time. Helping others make improvements feels good but as soon as people start noticing it's me I'm out of there and start an entirely new life.
This happens in every field of life. In a way it's a blessing to be able to adapt to a completely new life every 4 years and be able to jump in as if you've done it your entire life. But at the same time it feels like I keep trying out other people's lives because I just don't dare open up to those that are truly like me.
Happiness is a struggle, but I try to be a positive inspiration.
Thank you for asking :).

I stopped struggling with socialisation in Primary School when I brought along my Nintendo Gameboy Advance or DS (and 3DS in high school). I have Asperger's and socialisation is a situation where I can get uncomfortable on topics I'm not fond of.
What was the procedure to get an Asperger's diagnosis?
@@robertus55 It's all about Autism Spectrum Disorder these days! Back in 2000-2013, it existed and social anxiety and other way of processing information (process mine visually and by simple military drill like instructions) and obsession to a specific topic (Pokemon is usually one of them). People will notice your Asperger's and be uncomfortable by it or pick on you to make things worse than they actually are. Triggers and sensitivities to texture, brightness or loudness of noise can help the diagnosis.
Most of the times I do not socialize so much so I have a small circle. This led me to almost leaving school. However, I learnt to make friends based on a project or program am running.
Thank you for sharing!
I was a special needs teacher when I was 13. I was going to be a special needs student because of my autism but then they gave me an iq test and decided to make me a teacher instead
becoming a teacher at just 13 is remarkable
Anyone can be intelligent, until emotion comes along and ruins it.
haha nice take!
@@robertus55 Cheers mate! 😄
yes I hate when they assert statements in an absolute sense when its very often contextual , another issue is how emotions makes us predictable sheeple, that are afraid to be creative and so they are in small boxes (figure of speech lol)()()(, and they are born having emotions, not realizing that they viewed life trough its filter, but its sort of a consequence of reality itself because we only focus on what matters, despite reality being bigger that what is important for us(lol u prob no idea what the f I'm on about )()()()()()( , and lastly people are insanely afraid to be stupid, they will do anything to avoid thinking that they are dummies. yes and the worst thing is that they actually think they know what emotions does to them , as if they would every know lol
@@PuppetMasterdaath144 I fully understand what you're on about lol, I thought you were very clear and concise. Top comment, mate!
@@artichokeheartbreak2279 I used to be on SSRI , and it totally removed my emotions and so I know what removing emotions does to the ego. I also know what happens if you leave Plato's cave as it were, because I had an awakening, so I know more about the ego than most people, I have also studied the ego for many years. This obviously lead me to biases, biases is the main element that reduces effective intelligence, tons of biases are related to the ego. Now obviously I would be labeled a nutter BUT that's group consensus bias again, so many people get their confidence from belonging to a group, an example is atheism. Fact is that atheism have two elements that reduce it, first, emotion, science is not Spock, Spock is a pipe dream, this rarely exist, instead you have tons of people ruled by their emotions. second, despite people claiming ownership of the definition of words, the word "faith" is not a religion exclusive, its something that is easily understood considering most scientific theories have been refuted, now theories can be modified and enhanced and thus more accurate to the point of axiomatic, but that doesn't change that it often is faith, and so it shares ego related bias same way as religion does. my last point, this is one of the reason why people don't communicate on TH-cam because it looks ridiculous writing long text xD, I just like to use my brain whenever I wake up, so that's why I wrote this , you don't need to reply
i used to be intellegent, well now im even much more intellegent.
i was a topper i scored good grades and full marks but when my parents moved to another country the struggle started with the syllubus, now im struggling with school that takes grades for no reason and gives to people who pay extra fees in private lessons by teacher, it really annoys me, i try to do something but my parents are harsh and they dont even listen to me, its so sad that classmates try to prove me dumb and kill my idyllicness, this semester i got 70% while i used to get 98%
its really sad and its even sader to kbow that u cant do anything, just watch ur self falling apart and struggling to prove people wrong

@@robertus55 Yea it goes in periods for me. If i have something i find worthwhile my time working on i feel satisfied, other then that its kinda rough. Have huge problems geting small things in my life in order tho, motivation is def my problem.
@@christoffersjostedt624 I suppose you can try ditching motivation altogether and try using systems, accountability and loss aversion which creates the illusion of discipline to get things done. Worth the shot.
126+ is not considered gifted in hong kong where I come from, I tested to be 146, it wasn't some online test or some app, I had a 1 on 1 test in an official government-operated facility when I was 14, and you have to be 130+ to meet the lowest requirement for some special class or support.
That's an interesting factoid!
I relate to this very much. I guess thats why my therapist is planning a IQ test on me next week
tell me how it goes
As a young child, I have learned to talk at 2 years, with the vocabulary approaching that of an educated adult. I learned to read at 3 or 4? My father was always reading to me when I was a baby, mostly Russian poetry but some science books too, and I memorized many many poems when I was a young child, and was able to recite them perfectly. My father was always taking me to the library from a young age, and I was reading books there. I always felt isolated in American school, because I was an immigrant from another country. I had no real friends of my peers. Only enemies. I was abused in multiple different schools, and would often get into fights. And so the public school was a traumatic experience for me. My only solace was at the library, where my dad was taking me almost every day. I grew up in the early 2000s on books, not on movies or video games. And so the rift between me and my peers grew immensely, to the point that I couldn't even keep a conversation with these people. I wanted to talk about history, philosophy, science, anything that I've read about in books. But these kids only wanted to talk about video games, or movies, or celebrities. And to this day, I cannot find anything in common with the Gen Z people. Because my mind is in a whole another world. When I first got a computer and internet at the age of 14, I used to to find free PDFs books to read, articles to read, documentaries on TH-cam to watch. So I learned even more. And I have never used the internet for porn or online video games or tiktok, or whatever the plebs are into. Now I took an IQ test and my IQ score is 173. I don't know, maybe it is because I read a lot of books as a kid. Anyway I have learned so much about the world, how awful it really is, all the social problems, conspiracy theories, and documentaries, that I have come to hate the world. Not only because I have been mistreated, but because this world is inherently flawed beyond repair. Because the world is unpleasant, full of stupid, dumb, greedy, creepy, annoying, dishonest, evil, and arrogant people. And many of them are in positions of power. Other than my father, I have never had any truly close friends. But I've had plenty of enemies, people who wanted to beat me and injure me and kill me. For years I have lived in fear, but now I have detached myself from the world completely, and I no longer fear. I do not care about this planet any more, nor about the material existence itself, other than as a temporary stop for my immortal soul in it's journey of reincarnation into the trillions of other worlds all over the multiverse. I use this world, and this life, only for the accumulation of knowledge and wisdom, nothing more. Other than reading and learning, studying and practicing, nothing else makes me feel alive in this world. Everything is either boring, stupid, or morally horrible and rotten to the core. What else is there to live for? Maybe in my future life, in some other world, as has been depicted in the isekai anime, I will find a more fitting place for me? I surely do hope so.
it seems to come with the heavy burden of seeing the world's flaws all too clearly --- it's understandable that you find solace in the idea of reincarnation and other worlds, as depicted in anime. Hope you can find some beauty and connection in this world too, even amidst its imperfections.
Ok stop bragging
***insert narcissistic comment here***
I think there are just as many iq types as there are types of experiences. The balance isnt a quotient yet a derivative. What is iqd
As said in Game of Thrones; a mind needs books like a sword needs a wet stone.
Being highly intelligent can be lonely. I can have a moment of understanding of something I've been working on, and have barely anyone that I could even attempt to explain it to. I have 2 smart friends that love to hear my thoughts and ideas. It's a blessing. Took me while to realize that I was just abnormal and not crazy or damaged.
I wish I could understand why honesty is so difficult for people. There's only so much mental real estate. I'd never want to waste that space on the storage of lies.
Well said! Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
Testing shows I’m gifted in logic and reasoning (which cube is logically the next in the sequence-stuff). And jet the subject in school that required the most logic and reasoning (math) was the subject I was the worst at. One of the worst in my class from grade school throughout middle school. I learned how to be invisible to teachers in those classes though so that’s pretty neat 😅. The majority of best friends I’ve had throughout life are of above average intelligence. I’m sure of it. I use that one part of my brain that’s gifted to level with them and for the rest I just nod and say “hmm, really?” 😉
I feel that your approach of nodding and responding with "hmm, really?" in conversations is a smart way to engage, even in topics that might be outside your expertise --- It's a testament to the idea that intelligence is multifaceted and not solely defined by academic success or proficiency in a specific subject.

wow
@@robertus55 yeh I end up having sever OCD and constant imagination that I lost myself and I don't know who I'm, feeling like my balls gonna explode and my legs are strangely gonna be cut in a way or another, the problem is I was believing everything. I developed hyper sexuality to escape, I was horny literally all the time, and the pain after i masturbate was killing me. It was fucked up, I was just pushing silently which actually made me supresse my emotions of anger and frustration, which made it worst.
Parent won't understand you, my mother tell me that I'm too complicated I never could understand you, my father tell me just to be a man and get out of that like there is a wide clear door in my face and strangely i can't see it cause I'm naive and young.
With out counting the constant stress i was having from people telling me: you were so smart in the past now you are like this!?
Just to make you know.... people who are highly intelligent and very details oriented were not meant to live a normal life , it's either you gonna be one of elite 10% or the worst 10%.
My uncle is having severe ocd too he thinks the whole family is using black magick on him while he is the holy saint ,....funny right but he has 139 iq according to his test when he was 23 years old, now he is near 40.
This is my theory: Your excel in logic make you prioritize thinking than acting, you end up being passive specially in the modern day and age where there is less survival movements in the wilderness (your body is not acting/being as it should be), that passivity fuels mediocrity, laziness and negativity, without forgetting your constant escape from emotions and soothening you exercise on your self using your logic that you have absolute confidence in, comparing to average iq people who are very flexible in their opinion because they can see how they could be wrong without their logic, they believed so from their old experiences while you were actually always ahead of your peers and your conclusion and judgement are always on point.
I hope this post can help someone
@@senmonkashonen5875 bruh you almost described my past two years, thankfully I can home and here am able to focus on different things being somewhat isolated, so that's something positive. But what you described is 💯% true, especially the part that folks like these weren't meant to live an average life, either it's among the top elites or with the roadside hippie.
@Senmonka Shonen I have experienced similar things over the past two years of my life which is the only part of my life that i can somewhat remember. I have no relationship with my emotions and society and my friends and colleagues tells me that i have poor social skills or i am crazy because i think different. This led me to believing that i am abnormal and i am not meant to live my life i wanted to and eventually i fell into depression. I still haven’t gotten over it because no one in the world seems to understand me completely. I hope they would. I have so much potential to advance scientifically and intellectually but it’s all just being wasted away living around irrational and emotion driven people. I wish I could get out of this. I tried an experiment to see if can kill myself and i realised that i can’t because I don’t wanna die, i have so much things to do for this world but the mental state i am in right now just leaves me weak and makes wanna give up. I hope someone would give me the knowledge that would allow me to be happy being myself.
@@slinkybaton do not give up mate, I would say try your ass off to get out of wherever you are, move somewhere better, anywhere you can find a better environment, get into a college try for some scholarship maybe, do anything needed mate just don't think of giving up your life, please. Been there, still there but know what to do now. Stay in touch but don't lose yourself.
I am smart and have add, if only i could have been diagnosed before i was 45. I was held back in second grade, then took advanced classes....I was introverted. I was chased by bullies and was punished for being beat up because it "takes two" to get into a fight. Tell that to someone raped.
My adopted parents also divorced from when i was a baby. I think i was a marriage fix that didn't work. The completely ignored what I wanted to do with my life and I and my kids(also smart, introverted). Now I am sattled with student debt for things ill never use. I would have been happier just being the welder I am now. NOOOO that's a dirty job for "ditch diggers." They were crying in sadness when I threw my life away when I joined the Marines .......I can REALLY associate with this video.
My son is 21 and published his book working his day job. I listen to my kids and help them achieve their dreams not tear them down because I need to "grow up" and get a "real job like your cousing Kieth, the vice president of I don't care.....that's what i grew up with, and that I and apparently my kids are a big disappointment, despite being happy with were we are in life
Despite these hardships, it's clear that you've found your own path and are content with your choices, like becoming a welder and joining the Marines. These decisions, while not understood or appreciated by your family, seem to have been right for you.
We are too self aware of the world and hate the way people just accept this system.
System?
We don't strugle with the life. We are fundamentaly skeptical about the quest of struggling with life itself. We struggle with our mental traps that divert our attention from strugling with legitimate problems of life. The legitimate problems of life that we have hypothetically plenty of power to solve are like "do i sleep enough?", "do i eat well?", "do i have enough social contact?", etc. But it remains untreated as long as we ruminate over whether it is worthy to even go through the obvious motions necessary.
thank you for your thoughts! it is always nice to remember that life is good simply for life itself and not necessarily for you
Very good explanation i feel exactly the same.
True bro. Very hard to do stuff when you are already questioning the necessity to even try.
In my case, just the fact of having control of my Thoughts and therefore my Actions, REALLY helps me. Like yeah maybe life is pure chaos, but I like the idea that I'm responsible for myself, I don't know exactly the reason
PD: Sorry for my bad english 😅
I like your EN! What I find fascinating here is the ability to construct a world inside one’s mental apparatus and simply start living there.
What a brilliant video
Hope you found it useful
Pursuing the genetic components of general intelligence is tricky business because intelligence is demonstrative. We can inherit the aptitude for specific skills but aptitude is a form of potential and simply having potential doesn’t make us anything. Actually if ‘smart’ comes easy we are more likely to miss the value of its practice. We may be able to detect the biological markers for the potential of some form of intelligence or another but I am doubtful that at some point we could look at a genetic sequence and say with any certainty if someone is actually intelligent or not.
“Stupid is as stupid does” The same is true in this case as well.
I also have doubts about the whole, intelligent people are less prone to commit suicide, thing. Having some sort of sense of one’s potential without a sense of how to express it in an environment that rewards conformity and discourages variation tends to wares on the creative soul.

I don't have a high IQ or a low IQ, well, decent.
I was not understood by anyone. I don't know why. I was so unmotivated with things that I hate but literally had to do.
I don't follow trends, instead I hate them a lot. Also I'm so sensitive when it comes to relationships, I care about my partner a lot. I usually overthink every single moment when I'm not doing anything or just staring at my phone screen. Mixed up with the dread of the future.
I'm not smart. Nor dumb. Just decent I think.
Edit: I love to use my imagination.
thank you for sharing! you are not alone!
To be completely honest I can relate too much to this, accept for the fact that I'm 20 and the pandemic makes quite literally everything I'm interested in and want to make expansions with... well not easily accessible. Add in the tragedy's life will throw t you all at once and well here I am. pondering on the internet with a pen in hand trying to understand exactly what is wrong with me....... If this new intelligence i have realized 13 months ago is truly the cause of all of this i must ask the famous question. Is this a curse or a blessing? I always wanted this but ever since i acted upon it and started reading and doing math more frequently its as if I've lost all physical meaning and I'm lost within. can anyone else relate to this?
maybe go and read lesswrong.com
It is both a blessing and a curse, I know what you mean by being lost within and losing touch with the physical world, but everything happens for a greater reason, though they are the majority not everybody is meant to fit in with societal norms... if it weren't for unique ppl like us who have enough intelligence and heart to challenge the status quo just by our mere existence, the world would be a much darker place... though we walk alone on our own journey's, at least we know tht on a collective scale we're not alone 💙
Yes and you're not alone. My mom used to call it the dark night of the soul or the path less travelled, when I would venture right in the depth of it. It can be miserable, but as with all in life, it comes and goes. Appreciate it even when you're in the deepest pit (I know it can be difficult), because there is so much to learn, you are simply growing and growing pains are inevitable. Think of it like a flower pushing at the frozen earth in early spring. The process is hard, but the result is a thing of beauty. I read that in some Buddhist monastery and I hope it also resonates with you.

Hmm. I was diagnosed with ADD when i was young and autism spectrum disorder at an older age. I tend to not bother on how smart people think i am because when i do, i only get one idea up in my head, that i'm pitifully dumb, and it can cloud my reasoning which only leads to worse situations. I don't understand why people act the way they do, and how f*cked up their intentions tend to be.
Nowadays i enjoy socialising because the difference has become my passionate fascination!
And although i never use small talk, i can charm people with my witty sense of humour, and observant anecdotes.
Even though there's that whole, "If you think you're smart, you're dumb. But if you think you're dumb, you're smart. There's no other way!", mentality, ever since i started believing in myself and congratulating myself whenever i achieved something, my life has become blissful. And if ignorance is bliss, i love being ignorant.
The takeaway here is, acting a certain way, doesn't make you a certain way.
I believe in love. God is humanity's spin-off of love, because some people don't have it in them to naturally love, so they need a scripture.

We do know some of those genes. They are genes usually linked to disability, but only when they are hyper/hypomethylated, or have aberrant acetylation patterns.
You call them mutans, but they are what people should be, before society damaged or dumbed them down; epigenetic drift due to environmental exposures.
The genes involved in Autism seem to be involved in superior Choline and Cholesterol metabolism.
The APOE4 gene linked to Alzheimer's is linked to higher IQ.
Genes linked to Schizophrenia are linked to artistic and engineering capability; spatial intelligence.
When expressed in an aberrant fashion, they become disability.
Do Smart People struggle with life. I think Smart People do well in life. They tend to be independent which means they don't need others so they don't go out seeking people to be friends because they are fine on their own.
That's true. Evvudence show that smart people are actually quite happy.
The first kid describes childhood me so much......
^_^
isn't about "struggling" how something you don't like bcz it's easy to do or f***** nonsense, make you struggle?!!!!!
True haha
Now imagine his father tries to beat the ability to focus into him, and all of his teachers assume he's lazy.

I'm gonna kill myself.
not sure I understood that
Adhd?
I’m far too busy being away for deliberation in my Mind Palace. The Mind Planet outside the windows is telling me it’s a blast. And I find it’s really distracting. Especially when I see another Palace.
One of the most famous quotes related to his memory palace is: "My palace is vast, even by medieval standards". This quote highlights that he is not using memory techniques, as few memory masters would have only one memory palace. Hannibal's memory palace is described as having over 300 rooms, each containing vivid, striking, and sometimes shocking objects and tableaux.
For me, I was forcinly given an IQ test sometime in Elementary. It was testing for ADHD and Autism. For some reason he wanted to kick me out. Then all the sudden, a large number of random teachers and stuff were called in. My dad who never took off work showed up. I was told my IQ test was inconclusive, the results were too high. It was an adult IQ test. So the results were likely north of 170. I Sincerely hope the results were hidden somewhere. I don’t want it going anywhere. If I am working in the future, i want this result supressed.

my sister calls me eccentric, when others say weird. gotten better over the years. would have loved to have had access to a college library or classes when I was in high school. when working at large companies I would end up knowing a lot of the influencers in the computer/network tech groups and being in some small commitees to plan & solve problems.
Hey Randal - I don't know the details of your current situation, but based on what you are describing here I say that now is the best time to be an eccentric!
@@robertus55 My sit is getting better al the time. the only prob is I am suffering with fibromyalgia. keeps me from working. the rest is going better than ever.
@@randaldavis8976 Adaptability is key!
Everyone thinks is genius due to this video 😂😂😂😂
Heh. That was not my intention.
Fortunately I had a high fight IQ as well which helped with the bully problems, but I am stil struggling with the socializing part of life. I isolate a lot.
Thank you for sharing
Excellent graphics!
hey thanks
I (33) have a low IQ. I scored 84 and 78 when I took test as a kid and an young adult.
I would rather be highly intelligent than highly stupid like in my case. No matter in which field, I have only been struggling in life. As a kid and a teenager I have always been the outcast and been bullied by my peers. Nobody wanted to be my friend. People told me I am to slow, boring and stupid to be freinds with. This pattern has repeated throughout my life. After high school I became totally socially isolated. I do not have any friends or relatives. I go weeks without talking to anybody. Not because I do not want to. It is because nobody wants to be friends with me. Even the so called "geeks" or "nerds" or "outcasts" in hanging out with me. It comes with no suprise that I also never was able to attract any women. Though I tried things like Tinder or OKCupid, not a single woman was interested in meeting up with me. I never had a date or held hands in my life.
On top of that I obviously struggled acidameically. I barely passed high school. The time my sister needed to achive her status as a straight A student, I needed to dont fail class. I never had the freedom to visit college or to choose what I want to become in life since I am so slow. I only had access to minimal wage jobs where your work a lot but to get lookd down on a daily base. Not only that, but you do not earn enough money to live a somewhat enjoyable life. I am basically poor.
I wish people who call themselves highly intelligent would not put themselves as a victim. They have so many advantages who are not even a result of hard work or discipline. They simply were luck to have been born with the right genes.
kewl

Brother im not gonna say u are dumb. U admitting that u are a bit slower than some people already makes you smarter. What you should do is really focussing on urself. Keep the job that shouldn't change. But start running or working out. When you have time on ur hand u shouldn't mope around cause thats loss of precious time you have left on this earth. Go do things that people who arent alone cant do. U have so many options. Just know that you can always ask help to people even if they dont know you. I know what you told us here and i know there arent alot of people that want you around. That makes it not your problem but theirs. Get up your confidence. Even if ur not that good looking which i dont know doesnt mean you can make the best out of ur life. Find a routine. Find something u enjoy. And stay open to meet new people. And if they dont get why u sometimes dont get stuff just tell em u dont understand it and that ur sometimes slow. Slow doesnt mean ur a bad human being.
You are right, life for the less capable intellectually is several times harder. Also reading your comment I have a hard time seeing that you are as low iq, did you try to test your subcategories of intelligence? Some people are very high in visual or 3d and very low in reading/verbal or mathematical/linear reasoning. To improve your intelligence a little bit (it's probably worth a try in your case) could be to try diets high in protein and low in all carbohydrates (including starch or fiber), except fruits, and moderate in fats, and enough electrolytes. With that you can train for little problem solving tasks, lots of studies I read give some results, not gonna make you a genius but it's gonna help, even a little, for certain. Good luck.
