It's lonely. You're surrounded by fucking idiots, and you realize all the bad stuff going on. And with immigration as it is, it's only going to get worse. jews destroying civilization and we are arguing over what MIGA candidate is better.

It's going to keep getting worse until the meatgrinder of WW3 kills off billions of mongrels.

You forgot to mention the worst part where you try to warn the idiots and they all treat you like you're crazy.

If I had an axe for every time I warned "smart" people not to do certain things and they had listened to me I'd still have an axe because the retarded MD I told not to do something then did it anyway and broke the axe!

This is the worst part. You see the danger, you try to warn people, and they treat you like you're the crazy one, because you're not an "expert".

That's definitely me trying to tell people about things about "recent' scandals for years. Yes Dan Schneider is a pedophile with a foot fetish. Remember when I showed you half the evidence in the documentary 4 or more years ago

You're surrounded by fucking idiots, and you realize all the bad stuff going on.

You don't even need to be smart to see this stuff is the sad part, just being able to think for yourself is a miracle these days and just doing that leads to seeing just how much of modern 'reality' is a complete farce.

I can see why many people just turn off their brains and go with the programming vs having to actually deal with real life issues in a meaningful way.

Yeah that's the bell curve meme. Low IQ people go off of instinct and instantly see everything for as it is. Midwits think they are the best because they are "experts" who know everything. High IQ know what they do not know and are able to accurately analyze things for what they are.

That's the real difference, imo, is people that think at all vs people that prefer to be media programmed.

Lots of high iq people want to just sit in front of a screen and be told what to think.

They are not actually high IQ. Their pattern recognition is broken.

More boring than lonely.

There are still difficult problems and fun challenges, but for most things it's like having the cheat code for a game - it's not fun anymore.

Or like why Linux desktop is so crap. Making a useful, consistent UI is not hard at all, it's actually very easy, but it takes a lot of time and effort so nobody does it unless they're paid to; it's a chore. It's too easy.

The smarter you are the more of your life is just chores and busywork.

Ain't that the damn truth. Once you've figured out why everything is shit. What's next? The only solution I can see is trying to wake people up.

But the people are RETARDED

I'll eat my hat if your IQ is higher than 100.

Mine about 140 depending on what test you use.

You are still a faggot.

I don't think the 2SD gap is really accurate. Actually smart people who don't have autism (read: brain damage), are generally pretty good at communication and emulation. They can make themselves understood to a bunch of C- bureaucrats for the sake of getting grants, just like they can distill their ideas for children. Morons can't do that.

If the 2SD gap was legit, then retards would be a bunch of Dr Doolittles, living in harmony with beasts, while smart people would need retard proxies to train their dog for them. That is clearly not the case.

Making yourself understood does not equal having fun communicating.

I want to talk to others that can see the apple in 3D and spin it around in their heads. "But I did have breakfast"-tier of communication is not sufficient for enjoyment. It is not my responsibility to bring stupid people up to my level. But I'm starting to accept that maybe it is my responsibility.

I talk to people, and it just takes so fucking long.

You have to use "scaffolding" to frame the topic if it is anything at all interesting or controversial.

Here is how it goes. You pick a topic. How about Money Laundering in Ukraine.

  1. Start by encouraging the other person to talk on the subject. Show empathy and understanding.
  2. Repeat back to the other person what they just said, to demonstrate that you understand their feelings and PoV.
  3. Using the most mild tone and depreciating language suggest some minor changes to their (straight from MSNBC) worldview. "Have you considered..." Or "Have you ever thought about..."
  4. If you did step one and two well enough, they MIGHT be in a place that they can accept a tiny little nugget of new information. Don't push to hard or you will alienate them and they will stop listening.
  5. Watch the other person squirm because they don't like the way this new information makes them feel. They instinctively understand that for the new information to be true, then they must have been very wrong about a bunch of stuff for a long time, and they don't like that.
  6. Use emotional language to deliberately manipulate the emotions of the other person so they are more likely to be persuaded.
  7. Watch them agree with you (because you are pretty clearly very knowledgeable and consistent) then walk away and immediately reject or forget everything you discussed because they don't like the way it makes them feel.

People don't have to be dumb to require this process. l have met very smart people who are 100% emotional thinkers; that is they think with their feelings and use their mind to rationalize their decisions.

I have also met people who are smart but very firmly in the grip of the Dunning Kruger effect.

I am not even that smart. My IQ is about 150, but I am absolutely, deeply, obsessive about discovering the real, actual, measurable truth of the world. I am delighted to be shown wrong, because I can correct my worldview.

So I don't talk to a lot of people. There is literally nothing for us to talk about that isn't utterly trivial and insignificant.

The people who believe the 2SD thing also believe a modern computer can't emulate a Nintendo 64's computer, because there's too much of an artificial intelligence gap between the two. The N64 can't ever emulate a windows 11 desktop, communication is impossible there, but windows 11 desktop can certainly emulate the N64.

And we'd all call a computer that couldn't emulate lower-level software to be handicapped in some way.

It's not as great as if you're on the same level, you're constantly aware you're running on a lower-level, but "near impossible" is truly ridiculous a sentiment, for sure.
