youc an contribute, it is more then just intelligence required. most of all you have to work hard, you need social skills to eventually start your own research groups, you need publications, you need to meet peopel and talk to them so they recognise you. if you work really really hard and become better then most other people, you can contribute a thing. at that point you can form your own group and research things that you want to know.

tl,dr hard work is more important than intelligence in science nowadays

>realising you are so magnificently insignificant that even if you don't do anything to make a change, the world will keep on spinning.

I use to get scared at the idea of being pointless, but its really liberating when you think about it. Its okay to just live. Things will work out one way or another.

Also, intelligence has little to do with accomplishment.

I have that feel OP.

That's when I said fuck it and went to become an Accountant. I won't earn as much/be as much, but fuck, it's a living.

I had this feel in my mid teens.
>>3741292
Then this feel from 18-20.

Now I'm somewhere in between. I'm definitely smarter than most people in my classes (Math major) but I'm nowhere near the level I always thought I would be. I pictured myself contributing something worthwhile. Now I just want the dosh.

Here's a tip OP: Go into business/accounting/economics. It's easy and people will mistake you for being smart.

Thats actually pretty neat. Wish we had done experiments like that in elementary.

The only cool thing I ever remember doing was making those little terrariums, use fish, plants, and soil in one, and miraclegro in the other.

By the end of the experiment, the one with miraclegro had grown three times as large as the other plant, but all the fish had died.

Stop being lazy. Do you think all theories/systems were written by themselves? Nothing worse than someone pittying himself and getting comfort in the fact that "at least he has potential".
Get your mind together and start doing stuff. There is information to be read for several lifetimes, without counting the possibility of actually generating some

Basically, you exclude all other people's concept of imposible, but your own knowledge of what is impossible again comes from other people.
So basically that's a hipocrisy

You have to set a limit somewhere and "oh fuck I think I'm going to have a heart attack" is already beyond that point.

Let me elaborate since you seem to be taking this critically.

There are limits.
We can't have nanotechnology today because the hardware is lacking.
We don't have AI-complete today because the understanding of our minds is lacking.

To tell someone they can't contribute to something is saying that no one can contribute to anything that will advance us and thus we would stagnate.

a new invention wasn't conceived because everyone stayed the course. Someone went beyond the course.

I push myself not stagnate, that was the point.
