Imagine living in a technology fuelled distopian nightmare in a society that that's precariously balanced on the edge of a self fulfilling prophecy about the end of the world. And history shows these endless repeating patterns that always end up the same, and you know something terrible is coming, but you can't talk about because it sounds so dramatic. Like did you know the tap water is poisonous, and the air that's also poisonous oh and don't get me started on the food....poisonous, did you know our life expectancy is decreasing and we're just pretending it's not.

Depends if we are not talking only about possibility to solve logical problems but as whole then it's like super hard. I would not call it more intelligent i would say more developed or be internally elder then others are then you are basically fucked. Sad thing is that other peoples sometimes act like animals and their primary goals are "get girl so you can fuck her" or "show others how good you are" even if they are brain dead and since this works at 90 percent of womans because "biology" he is an alpha. They are pretty popular and you ? You know like 2-3 peoples and probably have girl when you will be older in 25+. In school it's just fucked, if you masking it then you are bascially empty shell if not then you are bullied because if you don't act like monkey they will hurt you.

Society contains basically 80 percent of peoples who are destroyed by life, they hate their jobs they don't like other peoples and pretend to be happy so they drink,smoke or take drugs because they are not able to overcome their own ego that is holding them bascially back and returning them into their shit.

Basic tutorial for life in this fucked up age is do what ever you like because it will give you an energy to continue and not thinking about suicide everyday and everything that is taking from you and harming you just throw it away whenever this are peoples or things don't care about it and leave. At the end it does not matter what i will say because if you do not understand or have experience with it then it is pointless to you and anybody else. Sometimes you have to suffer to understand that this is not the way that you should go and choose something else what it is ? It's up to you.

It's exclusively positive if you disregard the unrelenting existential dread and/or nihilism, in addition to the persistent loathing of inferior people (which is virtually everyone you ever have to interact with).

But hey, I went through and completely understood 250+ pages on differential geometry in 6 hours today, so that's nice.

Luckily I'm good looking and have some "normal" interests, so I'm able to fit in with the average pleb pretty easy; get laid, get invited to parties etc. I think if your intellect is the only attribute you have, life's a lot harder.

I was measured at 3+SD (153). It is incredibly lonely, all the time. For awhile I did drugs (alcohol and pills and downers) to make myself stupid to fit in, along with other drugs (psychedelics) to expand my mind and allow me to feel and explore inside my head. Those habits made me an emotional basket case so I learned to drop them. Now that I am really cultivating my intelligence in grad school (neuroscience phd) I don't have any friends I can really relate with, and even out here everything and everyone around me still seems like it is mediocre and more retarded than it should be. It is constantly frustrating and depressing, I have essentially given up on women, and I struggle with not being insanely critical of myself. My mind runs so fast through problems that I get horribly frustrated trying to be patient with people, but I keep working on that and am getting better.

It is like my mind is honed to be such a sharp knife that it will cut through just about anything (people, ideas, myself) it looks at. The few ideas I cannot cut apart are the ones that really impress me, and only the most intractable problems (consciousness and will) are the ones that hold my fascination. Most other problems (mechanistic science and engineering) seem like childish lego playsets to me that are endlessly boring.

My day-to-day is filled with frustration, loneliness, anger, and depression. But I also love my overpowered mind and would not trade it for comfort. This is my lot in life and I am making the best of it that I can, to hopefully leave a positive legacy on humankind.

(same OP here, I am still thinking about this)

There is a thrill to high intelligence that I love that really keeps me striving for more and deeper understanding. When I see how ideas connect in ways that I know very few have seen, I get a rush like I have climbed a difficult mountain or explored an unseen horizon.

A sadness is that I do not have the time to devote to everything I know I could figure out, so I have to choose what is worth my time. I chose the problem of the mind, brain, and consciousness. Sometimes I wish I had chosen physics and cosmology, as I have been able to learn a lot of it on my own and wonder what I could have accomplished if I had gone for that.

I also wish I could be a musician. I barely had to learn music theory, it simply clicked when I saw it, some of it clicking without even having to be taught/learned. I am half shitty at the keyboard and wish I could have the time to practice up to a masterful level, so I could play the complex rhythms and harmonies that exist in my head.

I have a similar desire to write novels, where the language and story wants to flow effortlessly out of me. Most contemporary movies and shows and books I absolutely hate because they are so fucking retarded.

Sometimes the weight of it all comes crashing down on me, and I just sit alone in depression at all the things I will never be able to do. Life is fleeting and tragic, but that is also its beauty. Embrace what you can, accept what you cannot.

Everyone blows smoke up your ass constantly, there's tremendous and disproportionate pressure to excel, and people think you're magic. It's incredibly difficult to find people who "get" you, and 90% of the time they're neurotic, self-absorbed, or both.
People think tangibly slower than you do. Most of the time, they're perfectly capable of coming to the same conclusions, just more slowly, but sometimes entire concepts are just impossible to convey because they draw upon so much from so many different places for just one step of an argument that has like a dozen steps, and you can think through it at lightspeed while everyone else is stuck on step one of part 1 and will never grasp the overall picture. So you try to be humble and assume that it's a failing on your own part that you can't break it down and translate it into something comprehensible, and usually that's true, but then you realize that not every concept has the courtesy to be comprehensible to them, and that some of them are even difficult for you, and that nobody out of a population of millions is going to be able to help you talk you through the tough ones, so you have to sit there frustrated and getting the faintest whiff of progress on the tough questions for years at a time.
You see everyone around you getting manipulated and ripped off. Constantly. And you often don't see the point in calling it out because the people on your level are the ones doing it and nobody would believe you anyway.
People turn to you when they need help and then go back to treating you like a fucking space alien the instant you finish. Or worse, they stop blowing smoke up your ass and start acting like you're an idiot the instant they disagree.
Nothing feels like a challenge and you're constantly bored, so you spend time in your own head and find it irritating to come out and interact with people.
It's fucking lonely and your life constantly lacks context and help from without.

I know this feel. Pretty smart but my memory is completely awful (short & long-term). Understanding comes easy, and goes just as easily. So it never adds up to much (I started to really slow down in college when the classes began properly building upon each other).

Overall, I would say that being smart is exactly the same as being normal, except that everyone around you feels a little stupid. Sometimes it can feel really patronizing when people explain things to me at their own speed. Also, I'm given respect that I've done basically nothing to earn.

(continued)

Because it is not just calculating intelligence I am blessed with, it is insight. I can see through people and all their flaws. I know I can do this, and most people realize that I can do this after interacting with me. So it gives me an intimidating presence that freaks them out, and it always puts the burden on me to break the ice. People will also resent me and project things onto me, whatever their envy or resentment or insecurity requires to make me a villain to them when they feel they are exposed before my gaze. One bad habit I learned to deal with this uncomfortable reality is to make myself as pathetic as I can to people so maybe they won't be so intimidated, but all that does is scare them off even more. It is a constant struggle to be with people. Their hidden problems are way too obvious, and all their interests seem retarded, and I have to constantly hold my tongue or be avoidant if I can't figure out a way to deftly subvert these things with jokes. Cultivating a sense of humor has been one of my best strategies in general, and, honestly, I feel there is something transcendent about the sense of humor. Why do we laugh? It points towards something great and mystical.

I will keep going on like this, mulling over aspects and complexities, until I divert my attention elsewhere. Partly because your question gets at one of the central themes and struggles of my life, but also because there is no way to turn my mind off. It's probably beyond self-indulgent at this point so I will stop.

I though this was something related to my personality not my IQ. The projection has been a real struggle even since I was a kid, even when nobody knew, yet I was gifted.

Have you tried some meds? Any of them worked for you at all? I failed even 4th line meds, so I wonder if I am not the only one...

You're more likely to be depressed or be a weirdo, and with that comes all these tiny things that split you off from the greater mass of the population to the point you cannot really relate to them. At times it feels like your life may be a living example of Plato's cave when you wonder at how others feel and the world is so simple and natural to them, when it never made sense to you. Lots of times when you do something retarded and believe you really must not be smart after all. Sometimes you'll have a thought or view on a topic that is so unusual, you disregard it and never attempt to convey it to other people.

There's an unfathomable corpus of theology that stretches back for centuries. Until the advent of scientism, all of the brightest minds were engaged in Theology.

Everyone in here will LARP or parrot IQ test results to convince themselves they're intelligent, but at the end of the day, you're still you.

Thing is, intelligence has nothing to do with happiness. Look around you and you'll realise that the average person is also depressed. Because of the human ego, people attribute their miseries to positive traits (extra points if that trait is heritable to an extent such as intellect) so that they can get an excuse to not fix them.

Theology is just philosophy limited by presumptious premises written in old literature.

>> No.11025025

>>11024985
Retard detected. Theology is the study of literary archetyoes which govern our sub-conscious. To put it simply, the Bible is a book of myths told and molded by thousands of people over thousands of years before they were ever even written in their current form. Even the greatest book by the greatest philosopher to ever live was only written by one man. Understanding religion is critical to understanding ourselves.

You want an honest response? They identify you in grade school, then they put you on dulling drugs so you conform to the status quo. Then in adult hood they persecute you into drug addiction which is easy because they already addicted you to drugs in childhood.

This is it. And I'm married because I wanted a kid, and now I have a son. But my wife feels horribly slow compared to me and doesn't understand why I am constantly upset or seem to be lecturing. When I try to explain anything about our relationship to her she seems to follow momentarily and then forget it the next time I see her no matter what I do.

>Implying most people in theology are well versed in the cyclical rebirth, remolding and indestructibility of ideas.

If theology study is about the science of myths and metamorphosis of ideas instead of spitting out old text, then get find me a theologist interest in writing a paper on how comics and crossovers are just modern mythos and how some public figures dehumanize themselves in order to become character-esque in the eyes of people and gain public approval.

Get out with this humanities bullshit and come back when you study an actual social science.
