The wind sits in the shoulder of your sail,
And you are stay’d for. There; my blessing with thee!
And these few precepts in thy memory
See thou character. Give thy thoughts no tongue,
Nor any unproportioned thought his act. Be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar.
Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried,
Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel;
But do not dull thy palm with entertainment
Of each new-hatch’d, unfledged comrade. Beware 65 Of entrance to a quarrel, but being in,
Bear’t that the opposed may beware of thee.
Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice;
Take each man’s censure, but reserve thy judgment.
Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy, But not express’d in fancy; rich, not gaudy;
For the apparel oft proclaims the man,
And they in France of the best rank and station
Are of a most select and generous chief in that.
Neither a borrower nor a lender be; For loan oft loses both itself and friend,
And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.
This above all: to thine ownself be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.

For any advice we give you, you will have two reactions. You will either dismiss the idea immediately (unless it is extremely well-articulated) or you will accept them on the grounds that you already believed what we told you. So my only advice to you will be this: be who you want to be. It's cliché, I know, but it's cliché for a reason: it's reliable advice. It's advice you can give someone that they will actually follow. So, in summary: read the classics, decide on your ideals and beliefs, see them through to the end. I will not attempt to sway you towards any political, religious, or philosophical position other than that.

The higher someone's IQ, the more likely their overall happiness and life satisfaction nosedives and they revert to Good Will Huntings or social recluse status. This is on the off chance that OP's claims are credible,which I find highly unlikely. But yeah genius is more cumbersome than people depict it. And also it's suspicious that you're communicating with lifeforms of lesser intelligence for personal advice, which solidifies you either as socially clueless/spergmeister, or a BIG FAT PHONEY.

The "genetic lottery". As if any luck at all had been involved in all the sacrifices that a superior line has made. The aristocrats thought the opposite way, and luck was furthest from their minds when cold-bloodedly calculating the decisions that would shape the fortunes of their families. For them, it was all about breeding. "If you come from a good family you will be good, and seen clearly all good people come from good families" — this is what every last one of them believed in. Those who beg to differ and love pointing out exceptions (as if they disproved the rule) look only at an individual and his parents, myopically, as subhumans generally do. But take stock of the history of thirty generations, and it's all there. No room for "luck" there — it is not due to luck that humans run the planet today instead of porcupines, and if a porcupine says to itself "it was only due to bad luck that I wasn't born human", the humans can do no more than shake their heads and laugh at the porcupines' hilarious understanding of evolutionary biology.

I think this 'people with high IQs are subject to suffering' meme is downright insulting to people who aren't genetic lottery winners. Imagine being born with 140+ IQ, getting the best grades at school, getting into the best university, getting a great job, marrying an intelligent woman you can have deep conversations with, earning a lot of money, and just being able to comprehend complex things a lot of people can't. Then contrast that with someone born with an IQ of 95, barely passing school, learning a trade in plumbing or some shit like that, working for a shitty wage, not being able to understand complex things, feeling utterly useless, and getting drunk every night to drown the pain. Which one would you prefer?

Who do you think created the system? The magical system fairies? Investigating the system ends up leading you back to the people; more precisely, to the psychological processes which led them to create it.
