I have met one genius in my life who transformed everyone and everything around him, who understood things deeply. He understood people and guided them, he devoured books constantly and would talk about nothing insignificant. Unfortunately, I was nothing but a disappointment and a failure in the end, but even now I know he is right

I was in the leading political party in my city for some years back in my mid-twenties. I got to interact with some of the people who coordinate the party behind the scenes and do most of the work. There really was no ideological drive in them and they sure had to deal with a lot of people who were blinded by the supposed political ideology of the party. I really appreciated the work of those behind the scene leaders when I realized that 95% of the party is comprised of either the aforementioned useful idiots or some machiavellian wannabes that think they are pulling some elaborate scheme to uplift themselves using the party.

Virgin anxious social approval seeker vs chad big brain ASPERGER man.

>> No.11793458

>>11793456
And by the way,
The ASPERGER man is the epitome of male intelligence and tenacity.
Let's start by looking at his brain. His brain is large. His domineering intelligence makes his
presence known without his research papers known without even needing citations. He is
a genius, as a result of his high levels of prenatal testosterone and pyramidal neurons I his
somatosensory cortex, CA1 region of the hippocampus and embryonic GABAergic neurons
in the midbrain. This gives him the appearance of class and brains. He is then covered by his
pale skin. This pales skin reminds us of his ruggedness, a feature that developed due to being
exposed to the cold darkness of his mother's basement, made to withstand such an extreme
condition. It also has a psychological effect on the observer. The pale skin reminds us of our
dark, deep desires that emerge from our primal subconscious past.
The ASPERGER man's demeanor is one of aloofness. He is asocial, shy, and can shoot up
schools. His behaviour strikes fear into the mindless, passionless races of man(n**Rotypical
dogs)
The summit of expression of his intelligence is his IQ. The ASPERGER brain is largest of all
the races. As the brain is the penultimate symbol of intelligence, this alone would suffice to
make the ASPERGER man the most intelligent of men. This large brain is able fulfill the desire
of the most rigorous real analysis courses, being able to more than fill all the recesses of
the maxima of wave functions. Its size ensures that when it proves a conjecture, the potent
ASPERGER intelligence will immediately enter the pure maths department at MIT and stun all the professors.
In total, the ASPERGER man expresses this intelligence in a most exemplary manner in
academia. When he proves previously unsolvable conjectures, he unleashes the entirety of his
special interests and desires upon his professor without any restraint.
All this is the reason why the ASPERGER man is the epitome of intelligence and tenacity.

There was a guy in highschool from Finland who very athletic, slept in class yet knew the answers to the teachers questions and even explained things teacher couldnt, and he spoke 5 languages fluently and was very good in video games like pro-tier.

Most of time it is hard to to distinguish how much stupider or brighter someone is, but he was clearly in another level than I am. Apparently he works in CERN now doing some physics research

I was sitting in my 11th grade history class. My history teacher said "quantum physics is not real". Immediately, I stood up and asked why. He said "there is no evidence". Typical low IQ statement. I started reciting quantum physics equations from my memory. My history teacher stuttered in disbelief, dropped his books and ran out of the room. Everyone in the class stood up and cheered for me. It felt great being smart. Suddenly, the principal walked in and asked for me. Everyone else sat down and I left and went to his office. He asked me why I made the history teacher cry. I replied "sir, my intelligence can not be handled by the weak minded". He thought and then brought out an IQ test. I took it, and within 15 minutes, I had finished. My score was 168. While I was not surprised at all by this number, my principal was absolutely amazed and was at a loss for words. I went back to class and my crush walked up to me kissed me. The day resumed as normal until I went home. I had a letter in the mail. It was from Harvard.

The smartest guy I ever met was this top guy at a hospital in Dublin. He wasn't a doctor, he was higher than that. He was actually meant to be called Mister, however that works. He was really good with women, saw him talking to the female nurses before. He was on the rowing team with the river Liffey rowing club. He had great intuition as well. He is like some type of transcendent being. I can't wait to meet him in person again some time. He's done work in other countries. He once held a conference with all the top doctors in Europe in Italy so he could come up with a solution with a patient he had and get approval for the operation they came up with.

I'm not the type of guy who likes having to admit that someone else is smarter than me. But this guy just effortlessly gets your respect. What a lad.

A 1 star General at a wedding.
He knew literally everything. Could list off every country, its capitol, its history and its stance with the U.S. Spoke like 5 languages with perfect accent (pretty sure he was a spook at some point)
He also said WWIII is going to happen and its going to start with a Chinese incursion into India. He said our intelligence agencies are getting us heavily allied with India since the cold war to either prevent it or get involved in it. This was 7 years ago and it looks like an increasing reality.

I can name about a handful of brilliant people I've met in my lifetime. Two of them were drug dealers who left that trade behind as soon as they could and got degrees in engineering fields. One was a model who got a perfect ACT score with minimal effort. She got tired of hedonism and moved to rural Montana. One guy was an autistic math genius who literally only talked about fishing and girls, totally belied his intelligence.

I don't really know in terms of like, intelligence, but in terms of being able to adapt to pretty much any situation I have a guy.
An old classmate, super autistic, dyslexia, ADHD, and was very lacking in logic (couldn't do anything by himself in math) but when given literally any task he could do it. Felt a bit like a savant but it was such a broad field that I think he just had an odd brain. An example would be when we had an assignment to sketch a building and its components, mechanics, all the shit in it etc. We had several days to complete that shit and on the final day he just came into class and completed it in 25 minutes.

He speaks 3 languages, had his pilots license, worked as a civil engineer, worked as a systems analyst, worked as a school teacher, ran his own business and called down to an airforce base once for suggesting to an officer he meant a potential electronic weapon that oops, they were already working on and it was a secret.
