A high IQ just means you can fuck up better and more properly. It also means nothing is designed for you. Let's say you're really short, you need a stool to get to the counter and an electric motor to get around. It's reasonable to supply this in everyone's minds. If you're tall, no one cares that the counter is at your knees and the bottom shelf is Narnia. Everyone just tells you to grow up.

That's what it's like to have a High IQ. Everything is designed for someone who can do one or two things and then nothing. If you can do more, they don't know what to do with you. This is not a rise slowly through the system, this is a get a specialized office and make money off of him deal.

The thing is, even being smart requires learning stuff. You can be completely new at something, and everyone expects you to understand it as if you're God.

The scene in Idiocracy where the guy talks about watering plants is accurate. You assume everyone is as smart as you, but they aren't and it leads to weirdness.

On the flip side, almost everything everyone conplains about is usually something that isn't real or will solve itself with enough time. Once you realize this, a happiness kicks in that you wish others could have.
