What type of smarts is more beneficial for reading and writing literature?
>>25615772I was the first of my class in history, was always struggling in maths. I am academically smart in half the shit.
>>25615790If you are poor at math then you aren't smart. It's just the way it is.
>>25615772I'm a high IQ retard
socially smart (being charismatic, and being able to read people's desires and insecurities and use them to your advantage) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>both
>>25615886>just be a psychotic manipulative narcissist, bro
>>25615772All worthless. The only "smarts" that matter in the world are casual persuasion, reading a room and cultural resonance. Everyone else are just temporary NPCs for the main characters of Earth.
In the end I don't really think there are types of smart, just different perversions and different levels of grit in their pursuit.
>>25615772I have a very logic mind and consider myself smart. Graduated in applied maths in a good university. Had my IQ clinically tested as 132 some years ago.All that to say I recently read The Stranger and didn't really get it. I do not even understand if there is something to even get. I liked the character, I agree with the whole life being absurd thing, but deep down I think there must be something else that people "get" fundamentally from this book that I simply don't. This has repeated some throughout my life and it always makes me feel a little dumb. I like webnovels and such things way more, getting lost in worldbuilding is very fun.
>>25615933Yeah, 'socially smart' people are quick thinking, smooth idiots typically. They can get by though their networking and convincing other people they know other people up to a certain point, but if they lack fundamental skill and understanding they will only succeed by getting lucky,
>>25615966It really helped me to consider Mersault to be an incarnation of Parashurama, his mother an feminine inversion of rakshasa Ravana, and the general situation at the start of the novel to be a mode of brahmacharaya. If it is ok with you sir I will not be taking the expressway.
>>25615993Are you joking?
>>25615973Socially smart intellectuals are true killers though. Unparalleled skillset. If you have both you can do anything.
That's such a cope. If you are „logically smart“ you will probably also succeed in academia. There are outliers, but (You) are not one of them. What is that image even supposed to mean? That you win debates with flat earthers on Reddit, Telegram, Discord, and Reddit by having such an immeasurably large mental capacity? Of course not all academics a smart, but almost all smart people have success in academia and possibly even in their job.t. retard NEET drop-out>>25615886>>25615936The real redpill in that regard is that you have to have good pattern recognition and logical thinking to be able to „read a room“ and all those other traits that people with so-called social intelligence have. Like with academia, not all smart people have good social smarts, but almost all people with social smarts have also cognitive abilities useful in other areas of life.
>>25615973*actual* socially smart people are 140 IQ machiavellian autists, ala epstein, peter thiel, roy cohn.the socially successful people you see on a day to day basis, i.e 100-110 IQ hot white girls usually do the same things epstein would do in their place, but fail to understand the intuition behind why people act the way they do. (usually misattributing misaligned behaviour to ideas like “oh my god sarahs such a hater!” this grants them low level social success, insofar as their opinions have mimetic values, they might be able to get jobs they had no right to get, but they can never be roy cohn.
>>25615999Maybe I am joking. But not about the expressway.
>>25616014It is a meme, anon
>>25615966what you didn't "get" is the cultural significance.during that time questioning the need for god was still heretical and absurd though wasn't vogue yet.if you already lived your life as a positive nihilist it dosent really hit the same.For me Camus best book is, the fall
>>25616017You don't have to be disgusting to be smart anon.
>>25615772if you cant get at least 10 (you)s on /lgbt/'s hornygen writing erotic fiction green texts....just give up. youre never going to make it as a modern writer
>>25615772>laptop>tiktok (mobile)Left side is fake
>>25616025Ah, this makes sense.
>>25616026yes, this is true. the ones who have been dealt the worst hand by the lord are 140 IQ autists with no social skills.you will usually find these individuals in high level academia (ivy league stem/some humanities professors) where they spend their lives quibbling over meaningless problems far removed from society. an amadeus situation, god does have favourites, they COULDVE been individuals who will have unimaginable influence on the zeitgeist for decades to come, but alas. fwiw, most thielian individuals are able to recognise these losers as one of their own who were played a bad hand by the universe and often end up using them as eunuchs (thiel and rene girard, etc.)-your friendly trvker
>>25615772Dumbass working-class Americans love this cope where they pretend like not having an education makes them more intelligent.
>>25615772"Logically smart" is really just latent potential. "Academic smart" is just building the knowledge base so your "logic smarts" have material to work with.People who are sincerely "logically smart", but not the other, are just "smart, but lazy". These people sincerely exist, but they act as if being "smart, but lazy" is the ultimate vindication, rather than it being the ultimate damnation. You are wasting your talents to engage in hedonism. And at the end of the day, you don't have the tools to exercise your intelligence anyway.Then there are people who claim they are logically smart, but aren't.
>>25616025>during that time questioning the need for god was still heretical and absurd though wasn't vogue yet.it really wasn't
>>25616064give 100 examples of absurdist, philosophical definition, literature pre-camus.
Lot of wordcel cope itt.
>>25615772Synthetic 'smarts' predominantly, but with strong enough analytical capabilities
>>25615852>>25615886what if I'm bad at both (almost failed math and I'm a loser)
>>25616046The acorn of that comes from our roots in the British working class, but we have raised it to be a mighty oak.
>>25615933yes.
>>25615772Chess is not an intelligence game. This isn't the fucking sims. It's about memorizing moves
I hate this retarded planet.
>>25615852I had bad grades in math in high school but my IQ was tested as 142 as a kid.
>>25615852TRUKE
Morally smart > ∞
smug balding white bespectacled men whose entire sense of humor and personality being predicated on "LOOK GUYS I'M BEING PRETENTIOUS IRONICALLY AND ON PURPOSE, HAHA, THAT MEANS I COULD NEVER BE PRETENTIOUS UNIRONICALLY, RIGHT??" have been a disaster for rationality and freedom of thought
>>25616272Anime and video games were made just for you.
>>25615790I was 1st in history 2nd in math and then in middle school I had a full african black classmate who so thoroughly tore down my teacher she quit her job and I lost a year of math and my parents sent me into homeschooling. I then for 2 years of home schooling read textbooks to learn. The motivation was that the earlier I got through my books I got to go play minecraft. I got 5 grades ahead on everything but because I didn’t particularly enjoy doing math I literally just skipped those books and my parents didn’t check on me. After a 3 year gap in math studies I caught back up with some light tutoring to put me back on track within a month since the amount of rote memorization in middle school math is so minimal and it’s all algebra and geometry. I didn’t ultimately fall behind I just ended up at-level in time to start high school and instead of excelling in math I just learned a couple languages, graduated college a couple years early, and became a lawyer.
Oh I’m socially crippled and though people sometimes like me it’s because they’re just very charitable for how mucu of a sperg I am and recognize my strengthsMy arch nemesis from law school was a striver guy who was super into clubs and networking but who was in the bottom 10-20% of the class because he couldn’t fathom that I didn’t care about linkedin.
>>25615772SI
>>25615772good grades doesn't make you a good writer. Being logical doesn't make you a good writer. Being well read makes you a good writer.
>>25615772>What type of smarts is more beneficial for reading and writing literature?The smarting from being whipped. See Jesus.
>>25617137Jesus didn't write anything (except in the dirt with his finger). He read some things, but all the readers and writers were very taken aback, as he was supposed to be illiterate.
>>25617164Jesus has to read every post made on this board.
>>25616014Cope with your Jewish WASP libturd bullshit. Academic smartness is absolute nonsense no matter if you portray yourself as the gigachad. I think most people know this now.
