Hi, 160iq+ full human here. How am I supposed to enjoy reading when most of the ideas put forth by authors are wrong and retarded? They can't even seem to articulate their own dumb ideas half the time, either constantly contradicting themselves or beating around the bush so much you wonder if there was even a point to begin with.
It's like watching a 5 year old try to explain something they don't understand. Entertaining for a minute or two, but for hundreds of pages?

In any case, thoughts? Input?

Well, try finding the most correct and insightful authors and texts. You know that reading obviously still is valuable even if there is a lot of bullshit out there. Im probably not as smart as you, me being around 145 IQ, but I found these authors good:

Ludwig von Mises
Nietzsche
Sam Vaknin (hes a extremely high IQ psychopathic narcissist)
Plato, Aristoteles, greek classics
Max Stirner
Hans Hermann Hoppe
Freud
Hermann Hesse
Alexis de Tocqueville
Jose Ortega y Gasset
Hannah Arendt
Gustave Le Bon
Neil Postman

I think you will enjoy these authors. Obviously not every single thing they write is correct, but you will still learn from them. Intelligence after all is no substitude for knowledge (and vice versa).

Ludwig von Mises in Human Action:
>The Fight Against Error
>A critical examination of the philosophical systems constructed by mankind’s great thinkers has very often revealed fissures and flaws in the impressive structure of those seemingly consistent and coherent bodies of comprehensive thought. Even the genius in drafting a world view sometimes fails to avoid contradictions and fallacious syllogisms.
>The ideologies accepted by public opinion are still more infected by the shortcomings of the human mind. They are mostly an eclectic juxtaposition of ideas utterly incompatible with one another. They cannot stand a logical exami-nation of their content. Their inconsistencies are irreparable and defy any attempt to combine their various parts into a system of ideas compatible with one another.
