it's not that you're stupid, it's that you're lazy. most nobel laureates aren't earth-shattering geniuses, they're just disciplined smart guys who get maybe one good idea in their whole life

>> No.9488161

Yeah, stop using a relatively low IQ as an excuse to slack off. Stop being a lazy pos and push yourslef.
Easy as that.
remember that practice doesn't make perfect,
practice makes habit. This means that you can form bad habits just as easily as you can form good habits.
Get your shit together and your work will reflect it

oh for fuck sakes just kill yourself if you're going to be that defeatist. I fucking hate my life but I still chug through it because maybe MAYBE there's a fucking chance that I'll end up happy after all this shit. If you think that's inevitable then you're right about not trying. So off yourself or try those are your choices. Complaining and doing nothing about it is just fucking annoying no one wants to hear it.

>who get maybe one good idea in their whole life
the trick is you don't even need a good idea
mostly, people don't publish "ideas", they just talk about them in conferences or between colleagues
most of the time, when a research program starts, it's to study an idea that has already been floating around for a long time, and now the time/technology is right to test that idea

so really it's mostly about having flair as to what to pick as your research, abundant social contacts in the scientific community to hear of those ideas, and then actually doing the work

And yeah you're probably right. I've met Peter Grünberg, and he didn't strike me as a Hawking-type superhuman being, just a good scientist who worked hard.

First of all, don’t relate creative intelligence to some iq score you probably got off the internet. Art is subjective, so anyone has the potential to make a great piece of work because anything can be art. Think of all the great artists and geniuses of their times who were shunned away because people asserted they were insane or stupid. Second, high iq doesn’t mean that you’re going to necessarily do something with that intelligence. It’s all about putting what you have into practice and not judging your abilities on a number. Do you think people with high intelligence go “Oh I’m not (blank) iq so that means I’ll never do this.” They don’t, it’s not productive and it leads them into depressive states. Thirdly, live because you can. There’s no point in hastening death, and if you do that just means less experiences on your part. As someone who used to be suicidal, I reasoned that I might as well live if I’m just going to end up in the same position anyways. Plus, it’s much nicer to picture being old and dying than being some young kid leaving the burden of their death on their parents.

That’s my two cents. Take it or leave it.

Parents burden their offspring with life though, which is frequently an unforgivable crime

OP, it's time to kill yourself. You can do it for a little over $100. You know it's the right thing to do. You won't be a burden on your family anymore, and you won't be taking up valuable resources that could go to others who will contribute much more than you ever could. Human life has no inherent value, one creates value through their actions and you know you won't do or create anything of value. The world will go on and you won't even register, in a few years, fewer than you might think, it will be as if you had never existed. And on a personal level, what have you got to live for anyway? Your life ended before it even begun. You will never be happy except for fleeting rushes of dopamine which might momentarily convince your little monkey-brain there is a point in carrying on. The only true bliss exists in the long sleep of death. Doesn't that sound nice? No more worries or stress, just darkness. Aren't you happiest when you're sleeping anyway? You know that any argument you could generate against your inevitable suicide is a sick rationalization by your feeble biology attempting to cling to its fleshy prison. But I believe in you, OP. I know that you can do the right thing.
