Can you explain how it feels to be really intelligent? Please only respond if you effortlessly went trough your entire academic career.

>> No.10030755

It doesn’t feel like anything. You’re just surprised at how some of your peers don’t seem to understand concepts after being exposed to them once or twice. It’s sometimes irritating, because you have thought about a lot of things in high school others are discovering for the first time after college. It’s not intellectually stimulating to engage in these “deep” conversations with people you know because they seem so basic.

Concepts come easier but you still have to work to master them. You notice that people stop thinking beyond the framework given by authority figures like professors. On the other hand, you think about ideas "deeper" and relate them other other ideas. You prefer to know "why" something is rather than "what" it is.

Classmates look up to you in awe or jealousy. Both situations equate to isolation because people generally stay away.

Feelings of superiority arise in during immature stages of personal development.

You use intelligentsia in a manner untenable to the localized epiphenomenon commonly reflected as self. There is also a dynamic use of implicit - almost dissociative, to be honest - in referring to a situation of it's dicognate. Do you feel like different people sometimes?

The first thing you learn as a kid is to keep it to yourself as long as possible. No one likes the fact you're smarter than them.
The second is that contrary to public opinion you don't really feel superior, you are just confused about all the time other people seems to need to understand things you genuinely thought were immediate. You then learn to force yourself to speak slowly and with big patience.
The "brainlet" rage is a 4chan thing only.
The third you learn (but only later in life), is caring to not fall for the trap to thinking you're always right. Especially outside your area of excellence. Just because you're good at math and logical reasoning, doesn't mean your personal political ideas must be the Undeniable Truth.

intelligence is hardware. knowledge and wisdom is the software. learn the square of opposition, that is how to think. your neurons are like little computer chips doing logic operations. i have a very high iq. i have an adopted father with alzheimers who struggles with arithmetic and we both "think" the same way, only i do it way faster.

thoughts are the same for all people, in that everyones brain is capable of the exact same things.
next, logic is the framework thoughts operate on, the square of opposition is like the track to the thought railroad.
illogical thoughts are worthless and need to be discarded and avoided. a cache of useful valid inferences should be stored in the memory banks and rigor should be applied to the active intellect to avoid bad inferences.

i wasted a great deal of my life thinking hardware was king but software and more importantly the user's manual and discipline are how you become truly smart.

i've attracted a few women from my "intellect" but really they were more attracted to prestige i could garner with my intellect. there is very little intrinsic aesthetic value to it, at least to women. you just understand things faster, but like anything input matters far more than capabilities.

Humans are generally speaking slightly above the other apes in this one category. (None of us could survive alone on an island.)

This though hit a breaking point in a bell curve and it got us all this technology after stacking upwards for 100,000-200,000 years old.

However we could be smarter; humans also mix in a social aspect and we give of general intelligence for this. Studies in dogs have found the same thing in respect to wolves.

Wisdom means the pursuit and love of knowledge. We are humans thus; all of us speaking on this board are intelligent!

autist here. Serious lack of work ethic with the education system. Completed my capstone course group project alone in 2 days and scored 3rd in the school. Do a lot of research alone, try to fit in with other people but often day dream or get lost in a thought. When you do share some insight your friends look at you like they have no comprehension of the idea you just raised. Its ok though, I often find solace through research. Trade stocks so I don't have to rely on job, learned construction and participated in it, grow vegetables and bread plants for ideal genetics. Taught myself Python, SaS (R,Matlab ect...), SQL.
