High IQ people tend to overanalyze and apply logic to situations that aren't logic (e.g. relationships, attraction, dating). They overanalyze so much they fail at implementation or never implement due to over-analyzation.

>>7001510

They're not, that's something unhappy people of moderate intelligence like to believe.

>>7001516
this

>>7001510
>high intelligence and happiness are mutually exclusive

[citation needed]

>>7001513
No, those are autists.

Stop this cancer please. We literally have this thread daily.
And by literally I mean it.

>>7001516
That's something gullible people of moderate intelligence who can't spot bait like to believe.

>>7001541
You can be autist and highly intelligent.

My theory is that the same neurotransmitter can only do one thing, i.e. either produce intelligence or happiness. So you can't have both.

>>7001510
Because if you are intelligent enough to understand complex ideas you are usually intelligent enough to perceive when envious people fuck with you.

>>7001510
>I'm sad
>It must be because I'm so smart

>>7001510
they're not, now gfto

if you're depressed, it's because you're not smart enough to think your way out of it.

Human emotions are a conscious choice, you can choose not to have them with enough mental effort.

Because if you're smart, you not only notice what a dumbass nearly everyone else is, you realize how often you're a dumbass too.

>>7001641
That's not how it works, at all.

Stop shitposting and read a book.

>>7001783
>conscious choice

There is no free will.

>>7001783
>Human emotions are a conscious choice
>you can choose not to have them with enough mental effort.
No lol

There's therapy to help people perceive things that happen in a more positive light. And the reverse is also true. You can try and manipulate people into perceiving everything that happens to them as negative by creating negative emotional associations to words and then plant those words cleverly around them.

>>7001842
But there is such thing as depression, which is recognized as disorder with unclear reasons of it progression. It's not a wholly psychologicall thing, but mostly physiological, and sometimes it's only possible to hide its symptoms, but only temporarily.

>>7001510
>high intelligence and happiness are mutually exclusive
False dichotomy, also [citation needed]

>Neurobiologically speaking, what is the reason wh... etc.
There is none. Our neurobiological understanding is still in the infant stages. Anyone telling you otherwise is full of shit.

they are too discerning to feel TRUE LOVE

>>7001510
This thread again. Give it a rest, pleb.

>>7001641
>My theory is

>>7001541

normalcool pls

>>7001842
Yeah, but that doesn't mean you can just choose to be happy. You can't work around anedonia, for example, because it is an inability to enjoy things. And like >>7001856 said, it isn't just a "mind" thing. There are some genetic bases to these conditions. You can't just shut down your genes because you want to.

>>7001891
Yes that is true, physical injury or disease can cause depression or anedonia if those injuries / diseases hurt the parts of the brain which usually produces those chemicals / fires off those neurons.

>>7001510
Literally the last bastion of 4chan and YET this shithole devolves into another plebbit tier board. Fuck you. Yes, YOU. You are everything that is wrong with quality on /sci/ fucking kill yourself you virgin edgy faggot.

>>7001931
>/sci/
>the last bastion of 4chan
/sci/ has been utter shit for years now. Quit fooling yourself. I just came back today after months of avoiding the board and it's just as shit and full of undergraduate pseudo-intellectual armchair scientists postulating about shit they have no fucking clue about as it ever has been.

>>7001510
intelligence is a mental defect
we are designed to be stupid

>>7001935
Start a thread then. Be the change.

>>7001942
I've tried to start fairly interesting threads before but they just get drowned out by stupid shit like this or spammed to shit with other idiots who want to chip in their uninformed, uneducated didn't-even-read-the-introduction-chapter-of-the-fucking-textbook opinions that they like to throw around as facts.

I once had some fucking kid tell me that symbiotic relationships don't exist in nature because trees compete for sunlight.

>>7001950
>symbiotic relationships don't exist in nature because trees compete for sunlight.

But that's true.

>>7001966
Please clarify your statement before I call you a fucking idiot you fucking idiot.

>>7001975
You can't into high school biology. Embarrassing, kid.

>>7001977
Oh, you're just being a troll or whatever.
You're still a fucking idiot though.

>>7001510
Because 'ignorance' is bliss?

>>7001979
You are still wrong. Trees are not an example for symbiotic relationship. There are other examples, but trees are none. Keep learning, kid.

>>7001982
Try reading my post again. Be sure to pay extra attention to what was actually said and what was never said.

Let me rephrase:
I mention symbiotic relationships in nature (not trees, just in general). Other anon said "but trees compete with each other so you're wrong".

Thanks for playing and proving to us that you can't actually read.

>>7001982
>There are other examples, but trees are none
>I once had some fucking kid tell me that symbiotic relationships don't exist in nature because trees compete for sunlight.
reading is hard

>>7001999
Do you disagree that trees compete with each other?

>>7001982
Thanks for showing us the caliber of "intelligent response" you can expect on this board. You're a real model citizen. And by model citizen I mean complete retard.

>>7002004
Did I ever say that I did?
Holy fuck, please get the fuck out and don't come back till you have a better grasp of reading comprehension.

>>7002006
>>7002003
>being this much of a butthurt samefag

You posted something stupid and I corrected you. No need to be upset.

>>7002009
You said trees are living in a symbiotic relationship. This is biologically incorrect.

>>7002011
You proved to us that you obviously can't read.

>>7002016
>You said trees are living in a symbiotic relationship.
No. No I didn't. Please read what was actually said, not what you just injected into the sentence.
I said that the other person used trees as an example to disprove the existence of symbiotic relationships. I never said that I used trees as an example of symbiosis.

>>7002011
it's hilarious because I knew you'd respond that way
I'm just a guy who can actually into reading comprehension and agrees with that other anon that you're a moron

>>7002026
There seriously needs to be some sort of minimum reading and mathematics requirements to post on this fucking board man, I swear.

People read whatever they want into a sentence. It's unbelievable.

>>7002028
>It should not be allowed to bait because I fall for bait too easily.

>>7002028
What should be the minimum math requirement?

>>7002035
A Ph.D. with focus in triple integrals.
>300k starting.

>>7002034
>It was just bait guys I swear!
No. You're just retarded. I'm sorry.

>>7002035
Idk, what do freshman undergrads need to pass in order to stay in school? That would be the bare minimum. Calc 1 would probably be best though.

>>7002049
>No. You're just retarded. I'm sorry.
Do you happen to be a Christian?

>>7002061
No. And I don't see why that would be relevant to anything anyways.
Now please leave. The grown ups are talking and I'm becoming increasingly tired of your stupid shit.

>>7002067
>And I don't see why that would be relevant to anything anyways.
kek it is obvious you dummy.

Right. I remember now why I stopped coming to /sci/ months ago.

Take care I guess.

>>7002044
I did triple integrals in calc 2. Shit's easy as fuck lel

>>7001842
I do this but with positivity.

I figured if I wanted to change how I feel and the people around me are still negative I wont change.

It works in a week or two.

I realized the human mind is all about symbolism and the short term memory thereof. It's how tv ads work. It's about willpower and beliefs.

I can't really explain it further because I'm bad at explaining things, but I can change that also if I make it a goal to.

>>7001981
you can be intelligent enough to trick your own mind into being ignorant and blissful

You can also snap back to normal like the flick of a switch
