Some people asked for this thread so I made it.

Here you can discuss the smart ones and smart things that you smart people like to do.

I'm not smart so I'll just stay out of it.

Sounds fair to me, my lineage has been traced pretty thoroughly and I'm 7/8ths german and 1/8th welsh. Yeah that's right, one rear end in a top hat (great rear end in a top hat to be specific) on my mom's side stands between me and my true Aryan bloodline.

Smart people are p cool unless they use their smarts to act superior. Then they can just shove eggs up their asses or something degrading like that.

You have to consider a lot of smart people emotionally matured at a different pace than their peers (both faster and slower is bad) and as such got socially poo poo on while growing up. Some get over it and seem normal outside of their smartypants career, others never really properly socialized because they never felt like they fit in. For those that got the short end of the social stick, it's a pretty normal defense mechanism to belittle or look down on "normal" people, because otherwise you'd sort of just have to face the fact that no one likes you because you have no social skills.

I think a lot of people have trouble understanding that their behavior during developmental years can have a longlasting affect on other people. To the people who had pretty normal childhoods it's all in the past, but to people who had lovely ones it totally carries over into adulthood.

I post on GBS.

It may look easy but thats the art of it. Most of my posts have gone through multiple draft and revision stages.

Its not easy, and its not for everyone, especially stupid people, or those looking for a cheap thrill (protip: stick to FYAD, bozo's)

Would I say I'm smart? well, I wouldn't go overboard, lets just say Junior Genius :smug:
