yes, a lot, but my use tapered-off over the first year at university. i wasn't used to actually...doing work.

i was constantly in the mindset of "holy shit how the fuck did i get here working for this world-renowned badass in particle physics?" weed would convert my stress into pretty bad anxiety... i'd feel really guilty about not studying, i'd be paranoid of what my research adviser really thinks about me, etc. i just had to cut it.

soon, whenever i felt the craving to smoke, i would try to substitute it with studying... turns out that was a much better use of time.

Finished the whole math book ahead of time and noticed it never cover the possibility of a number blow 0. So I addressed this issue and presented my finding as a report which I called "Subtractive Numbers" in hopes of getting input for others as to how validate such an idea was and to nullify the teachers argument that she used to crush my discovery of long addition for numbers involving 5, earlier I found a pattern that consistently worked (I figured out how to multiple by 5, although I did not know at the time). Well I passed them around at recess hoping for peer input before I brought it to the teacher as she had rejected some other ideas under the grounds nobody else talked about them. This way people will talk and she would have to listen to me. By the end of the day I was in the main office with my mom, my teacher and the principal. Apparently there was talk of expulsion as I was actively undermining the education system, which was partly true. It can down to the principal telling me if I spoke of this madness again I would not get recess. The next year in 2nd grade I learn about negative numbers and was furious, but said nothing as I wanted my recess privileges.

Public elementary schools, man. They're shit.
I went to a public high school, though. It had the IB program so I also met a bunch of bros. Inner-city but not as terrible as most suburban high schools. Funny how that happens.

I told this one before But I'll tell it again.
I was in Geometry class. The teacher had a problem she had not taught us on the board, I remember the problem, it is to calculate the size of a slice of pie. The pie is cut into 8 slices and the diameter of the pie is 8 inches. Who ever gets the prize right gets a pat on the back.

I slept through geometry most of the year, but i felt up for the challenge. The teacher 4 answers from the class and had a vote to see who's answer everyone thought was right. No one voted for my answer.

Everyone's staring.

I sit down.
After that, I get given tonnes more homework than everyone else. I watch as the stupid kids get assistants to write for them, receiving sweets when they get things correct.
I watch as I notice classmates pretend to be very stupid to get the attention and sweets.

Year 5 and 6, all the mock SATs tests, I get 100% in maths.
Teacher doesn't bother to put me in the higher level test.
I tell a girl she's doing her work wrong. I try to correct her.
She starts crying.
The teacher stops the whole class, and then proceeds to rant and tell me that I think I'm so smart, and I may end up with people working for me, but all those people will hate me and I'll have no friends.

I should've just reported his sexist ass but I was a shy, terrified loser and girls aren't "supposed to speak up for themselves". Fuck this stupid society.

Let's say you got kid A and B who both have the same IQ and are equally intrested in science / reading.

Kid A is put in an environment where he gets bullied and beaten up for liking science, not sports. He gets discouraged to learn science and has little access to more scientific knowledge.
Kid B is put in an environment where he gets praised, rewarded and encouraged for liking science. He also has a lot more scientific knowledge at his disposal.

In the end, kid B will likely have more motivation to persue scientific knowledge and is perhaps a bit more intelligent than kid A (Synapse elimination).

Just pointing out, environmental factors such as teachers and fellow students do have an influence on people. For better or worse.

They put the emotionally disabled with the mentally disabled. Do to my depression, I was treated like an idiot. I found that belittling and it made me depressed. They were actively keep me from growing "For my safety" they told me.
One problem is my goals grew exponentially as I learned what I could do, which is anything given the time and resources. Then in college, I learned so much as an engineer student. Only to now be doing business, partly because I very smart but not very fast, timed tests will be the death of me, and I trusted my advisers not to do things like put me in courses out of order.
I would show them all if I had 10,000 dollars and place to setup my lab. As I finished my business work in record time and then had time to work, albeit with no space or money. So I then addressed the issues I wanted to and figured out not only how much on some conspiracy were partly true, but just messed up the system is. I found and treated the cause of my depression and got all my doctors to remove all my meds and left them very confused when my tests only showed zero trace toxins, they ran the test twice at two different labs because they thought it was an error and scared the hell out of my dentist when my cavities show signs of healing. Now I am labeled as dangerous by may and am probably on some watch lists. I may not have official documents, but my results speak for themselves if any one would listen. Now I am board with no money and the skills needed to do just about anything, if I had a place to work and resources. Still working on my degree in business because I am well aware of how important such pointless pieces of paper are if people are to ever take me seriously. Any ideas on what I should do now with my time and skill? So I guess in my case it was partly me trusting authority too much and them not letting me grow.
