We're all single parts of a whole, man. Like there's all this knowledge in the universe, and species processes it collectively. We're just like cells in a brain. If you were to ask how smart this one specific nueron (me) is, it would be pretty dumb, because thats not how nuerons work. If you ask how smart the whole brain (humanity) is, it's also pretty dumb, imo. So what I'm saying is, I'm pretty dumb.

Quite a bit smarter at some things than most people (managed a mech eng degree) but quite many of my fellow students are smarter than me at that. I'm also dumb at things normal people are good at.

So basically I'm not so much smart as I have the 'tism, I'm good at stuff normal people find hard and bad at stuff they find easy.

I also know a few guys who seem to have everything going. Smart as poo poo social butterflies. You want to hate them but then they also are just really nice people to make it even worse. Cunts

this is legit depressing, when you meet a truly intelligent person who is taking pity on your stupid dumbness and you only want to impress them and be friends but it will never be because you're too dumb and you sound even dumber when you try to sound smarter

I am thankful that I'm smart enough to know that I'm not "smart enough." So long as you're not too proud to ask for help you can get pretty far in life!

pretty smart i guess. I do well on tests and poo poo; usually top 10% of my class in most things, and people say i'm smart. IDK how well that is going to translate to real life though because I'm pretty lazy and have too much of a conscience to gently caress over other people.

You follow the path
fitting into an infinite pattern.

Yours to manipulate, to destroy and rebuild.

Now, in the quantum moment
before the closure
when all become one.

One moment left.
One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.

kinda, but not really. wais-iv is used for adults, as are ravens progressive matrices. everything else is to evaluate kids to make sure they aren't tards or "gifted."

I reliably fall in the 98th to 99th percentile but I'm also an emotional mess and a complete introvert. I have just enough intellect to realize how amazingly stupid our entire species is. We are going to kill ourselves off so hard it's going to be epic.
