is intelligence a blessing or a cursed?
>>530649242Rlly nice art OP
Oh yeah
>>530649242
>>530649242Is that jizzy?
>>530649242Blessing, clearly. The meme wisdom says smart people are unhappy. But they're not. Nearly every study comes back the same way: intelligent people are happier. They have a slightly higher risk of ending up depressed, but they have a much greater ability to avoid repeating mistakes, making poor choices financially and relationship wise, and are generally better to utilize information and solve their own problems. So, a small minus for existential asshattery, and a huge plus for not thinking eating blueberries will cure your cancer.
no one here would know
>>530649571Very offensive. I am hurt.
>>530649242Blessing for the evil
>Smartest men least likely to get laidYou tell me.
>>530649242A curse. The more intelligent and aware you become, the more you see the world for what it is, overthing, get anxiety and what not. That's why kids and retards are usually happy and worriless.
>>530651384>overthingoverthinking
>>530649242We've been over this, being a midwit is worse than being retarded but being an actual genius is generally the best, having morals can make it worse though
>>530649571this guy is intelligent
>>530649360Vittorio Giardino is great.
>>530649242I'll let you know at the end.
>>530651380Getting laid is overrated.
>>530651452>having morals can make it worse thoughMe when I think about casting away morality. What's so great about having a conscience? Seems detrimental to material existence nowadays.
Good thread to bait Reddit-tier "boohoo I'm too smart to be happy" midwitsIf you're genuinely smart you'll find a way to surpass this retarded world
>>530649571>no one here would knowNPC's think intelligence is memorization and knowing mainstream science, real intelligence is knowing Covid/forced injections was coming as far back as 2012 as many of us did know
>>530649242Intelligence is a blessing, but morons will attack you for it. It’s not intelligence to blame, but their inferiority.
>>530649242Intelligence is a curse. You will notice the most bottom of the barrel retards like Indians or Africans are able to have all the sex they want whenever they want and impregnate 20 different stupid women, meanwhile I will always overthink everything and get zero pussy and my brilliant white super-genius DNA that built civilization will cease to exist because I'll never have kids or have sex or get married.
>>530649554You’re taking about the 200-110 bracket. Not the 150+.
>>530651728>What's so great about having a conscience?Africans don't have conscience. It's not a matter what it does to the individual, but what it does to society as a whole. If no one gives a fuck, then society collapses completely.
It's better to be born rich. You can be stupid and rich and be successful, but you can't be smart and poor and be successful. Being a poorfag will always limit your potential and deny you opportunity. All that matters is being rich and if you can be a retarded indian scammer who gets rich by stealing, and then impregnate 20 white sluts, then you win the game of life. Meanwhile my genius has never helped me ever. It's only ever made everyone hate me for no reason like jealous assholes.
>>530651384>A curse. The more white you are, the more you see shitskins for what they are, never relax or they kill you. That's why kids and retards are usually happy around niggers.Kys.
>>530651728Morally speaking, it is correct to destroy subhumans.
>>530651764You got your donkey tail on the map for where they drop the nuke? 10 years I’ve been waiting to be proved right, but I always have been, there’s no rush when predicting.
>>530652162You seem mentally ill. What you just wrote is full of strawmen and is your own little twisted version of what I said. If you think intelligence is bliss, you're not half as intelligent as you think you are. Typical Dunning-Kruger retard.
>>530651904Raping a subhuman doesn’t count as a win. Neither does speaking more shitskin vermin.
Define intelligence
>>530652375>You got your donkey tail on the map for where they drop the nuke?I called 2030 date around 2010-2012 and have stuck with it, seems so far it is heading towards that date
>>530651964I'm talking about anything above 120. Again, almost every single study show the same pattern. There's a slight increase in risk for depression, and a huge decrease in risk of making mistakes. The latter causes a lot more suffering than the former. It's just a meme that intelligent people are unhappy, and it's propelled by a very dumb mechanism. When someone is depressed, they start to question things, questioning things leads to thinking, which leads to searching for answers, which leads to philosophy, debate and more thinking. Those people then think that because they're doing so much thinking and searching and reading, they must be intelligent. And then they infer that intelligence must cause suffering.
>>530652395Sure thing, shitskin.
>>530652585Kek. I'm as White as they come, you dumb faggot.
>>530649242Curse because people won't leave me the fuck alone thinking I can solve all their problems.
>>530649242how can you read my mind Giardino fren?
>>530649242Women's feet are a blessing.
>>530649242A blessing in competitive civilization, a curse in conformitive civilization
>>530652515Oh. Same year I made my prediction. I didn’t set a date, just the target. Katta, plan-dori.
>>530652666Then at least try to act like it.
>>530652569>when a stupid person tries to think about intelligence, their brain hurts, so they assume being smart is hardYou sound like a fat person complaining that exercise makes you depressed.
>>530649242I'm sure she is reading books on nautical nuclear engineering to assist in the maintenance repair and construction of new nuclear carriers for the US navy or cutting edge peer reviewed research on artificial intelligence development or quantum computing
>>530649242an intelligent person would never ask such a question so what difference does it make to you?
>>530652569thats what I used to think until I realized how many dumb people they are in this world and how if you are smart they will literally hunt you down and beg/force you to keep society running and in return what you will get is your life destroyed basically being smart is the plot to commando, it was undoubtedly written by a very smart person about being smart
>>530649242Happiness correlates up to 135; maybe 150 for those who choose evil. Above that it's a shit sandwich but you escape samsara which is nice
>>530653354>beg/force you to keep society runningThat's only a problem up to 150; above that and they know you have to be excluded
>>530649242No, a curse is a curse and a blessing is a blessing. Intelligence just allows you to identify the two and make a distinction of whether if or not you want it. For example. "I hate this world and I am going to destroy it." That's a curse. All words are "spelled".Get it? The Bird Song Calle The Flock.Law of Attraction.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SFsBXysU1BM
>>530653354Thank God there’s at least one mom retard. Thickies will try to make you do their homework, and if you won’t they’ll beat you up and take your money for fun.
>>530649242Depends what you use your intelligence for.
>>530649242Overall? Leaning towards a blessing. The "tortured genius" doesn't happen too often and positive correlations with employment, income, and even depression (yes depression is found in high (likely above 130) IQ, but it's also found in high concentrations in lower intelligence brackets as well).
>>530654737It's not having an IQ in the 130's that makes you depressed, it's being put in a public school with a bunch of retarded apes who bully you, beat you up and call you a faggot every day for 8-10 years.
>>530654974>130's in public school>140's as a woman>120's as a nigger>180's in the world
>>530654737>"tortured genius" doesn't happen too oftenIt does amongst geniuses; it's at least 50/50 amongst known geniuses and that includes a lot of survivorship bias; examples upon request
>>530649242>or a cursedAt least you don't have to worry about it.

>>530649242Intelligence is unlocked by trauma
>>530649242Intelligence is a blessing.Knowledge is a curse.
>>530649242Most people who think being smart leads to more misery just have poor executive function or want to feel smarter than they are. If you're smart, one of the worst things for you is being surrounded by dumb people. This is pretty easy to fix, just use your intelligence to get into some research org or something. If you have trouble motivating yourself to escape the general populace, then yeah, you might end up miserable.However, like >>530649554 says, being intelligent leads to a positive benefit in basically every aspect of life.
>>530649242How is it any worse than being dumb? I have an IQ of 90 and I'm depressed and have no desires or goals in life.
>>530652395>Dunning-KrugerGo back to plebbit It's been debunked, you must be patting yourself on the back for name-dropping that thinking you're smart for mentioning it.
>>530654974Is being an outcast/loner a sign of superior intelligence? I was a massive target for people, one of the most hated in my school at the time.
>>530657044Yeah it hurt my feelings a lot at the time but in hindsight I think it just made people mad that I could ignore all my homework and still get straight A's on the test easily without any effort or study. Meanwhile they have tiny feeble pea-brains and they struggle to remember to put their shoes on the right foot. So they lash out in retarded rage at people who are just fundamentally better than them in almost every conceivable way.
>>530656304>being intelligent leads to a positive benefit in basically every aspect of life.>Being MODERATELY intelligent On the off chance a high intelligent is reading this it was deboonked by Terman and written by Grady Towers in The Outsiders. Of course the satanists murdered Grady. The high IQ societies were founded because the uhiq couldn't just peers bro; they failed because walking wounded
>>530657699Are you phone-posting? Because that sentence was an abortion. Who the fuck is Terman. Who the fuck is Grady? WTF are you talking about?
>>530658495Anyone who needs to know will figure it out. I don't think you need to worry
>>530649242It’s a curse
>>530652444>the people who continue their genetic legacy, cultures and peoples are the REAL losers You have no idea what winning even is, wow.
>>530657699Is this why they target the "gifted" children and promote or sabotage them depending on their inclination towards rebellion? To make sure that those capable of disrupting the system are sabotaged and made inert?
>>530651883
>>530659171Yes. There's a lot of evidence to that effect. That's why GATE program existed. Rebellion not necessary; not willing to take the ticket is enough. Even competence had to be weeded out. There is another article not nearly as good as the outsiders: The Inappropriately Excluded
>>530654388Story of my life. I deeply resent all of you for it and pity my children.Jokes on all of you though. I have solved so many of your problems and destroyed the work because you simply aren't worth it. Tesla wasnt the first. All of you should be farmed.

>>530661200What do you think about the correlation to a prominently developed frontal cortex or "dolphin bump" to high iq and telepathy?
>>530661566I know a Xhosa covered in inter-planetary tattoos who claims to have contacted aliens by telepathy with dolphins. He can't do calculations of envision a structure. He's an online influencer
>>530649360;)
>>530657327Good grades don't inherently mean you're more intelligent, it reflects effort more.
>>530649242ignorance is bliss
>>530662560Would you like to try rereading his comment a few times, maybe sounding it out aloud. I'm interested in gauging your intellect to put your other comments in perspective
>>530649242Yes.Misery is for midwives who think they're smart but actually are just slightly above average and get ourcompeted by the actually smart people.
>>530661200>i want to talk about my midwit delusion of grandeur, not about whether I am in the AIDS-capital of the worldAlright fag, do you have any ideas on how to revive old high-iq societies like the british "gentlemen's clubs". In a contemporary context, it seems the only places where exceptional human capital has been concentrated are in Silicon Valley startups or sporadic meme-research. I think it's obvious that the stagnation hasn't been solely in STEM; there hasn't been any significant artistic or philosophical scene for a long time.>inb4 just found a new internet communityForums are death, and places like lesswrong are full of circlejerkers.
>>530662008XDXhosa using actual dolphins because they lack the organ is funny. Anyways, you should develop yours.. you can kill remote viewers once you get strong enough.
>>530649242A blessing.Only midwits go>Oh, I'm so smart I hate my lifeWhen you are truly intelligent, you are living life on easy mode.
If you get lucky and get rich off stocks or crypto it's a blessing because people will argue "he's rich because he's smart". If you can't scam dumbasses into buying your bags, or chose not to, the same dumbasses will say "if you're so smart why aren't you rich?". Basically dumbfucks need to be banned from the internet, or scammed until they have nothing like they deserve. Kindness for sub-120 IQ havers is pointless.
>>530651380So, a blessing?You might think you're "getting lucky" but in reality, you are entering into a relationship that will mostly be on the woman's terms in all respects.
>>530659781>not willing to take the ticket is enough.Ah, so it was over when I only skipped a single grade instead of multiple like they had offered.
>>530657044>Is being an outcast/loner a sign of superior intelligenceyour coping by outing yourself as someone too good for human relationships. If you were a target you have no one else but yourself to blame, for being so passive in continuing to allow it.
>>530663208Gentleman's clubs sound cosy, but there was a lot of occult debauchery. I think our best bet would be to restore the natural order, starting with Kings; that way everyone doesn't have to fight to be too dog. After Culloden the clubs and lodges swole with petty plotters
>>530656197consciousness is unlocked by trauma
>>530663208Well anon, if you are gonna bug chase, you need to go to the source. Drink from the finest pozz springs.
It just makes you angry
>>530649242It can be both i would imagine. Sharing an IQ gap with that of a child and an adult. With the general populaceYes i am a huge retard.
>>530649242it's a cursing if you retain your sympathy
>>530663492Skipping one grade is pointless that's only 1 std deviation in childhood ratio iq; why even bother >>530663293>you can kill remote viewersI'm not admitting anything; but nice try
It is definitely a curse.
>>530663049I'm assuming your going to gauge my intelligence on the lower level because I misread his comment.
>>530649242a blessing if you don't feel deeply, a curse if you do
>>530649242Curse.
>>530664255>>530657327Fwd. My BadI was reading it lazily
https://vocaroo.com/1mQ794l09Jbc
>>530664118Because I was self aware enough in first grade to know that what I really needed was socialization, because I was (and still am to a degree) an asocial sperg.
>>530664255Not that low, because you did at least reread it and see and respond. So you at least have some humility and decency. Also not very high because most people above a certain level couldn't miss that even if very tired. By your other comments I put you at upper average needing to flex on those brighter; maybe 109 iq
>>530663586So it's inherently my fault for being a target?I tried getting back but the school system was on their sideIt was justified for those people?
>>530649242its a curse cause youll always be lonely if you're intelligentyou cannot comprehend stupid people even though you might enjoy similar things, they will always have more company
>>530664468But you could socialise better with your intellectual peers. Maybe the class one above you had some bright lads; for me the class two above had some great chaps but they didn't let me skip so the last two years at school sucked
>>530664281That hurt.
>>530664528And how do you know that?If I were to gauge my intelligence I'd put myself somewhere above average. I don't think I would be smart like the tech entrepreneurs are.
>>530664468my instinct told me to socialize. talking to new people used to give me adrenaline rush and i was always "scanning" my class to see who can i go and talk to. sucks my mother was helicopter and locked me inside for most of my young age so adult me always felt like i have a limb that isnt grown
>>530649242if you have to ask, I have bad news.
>>530664118I like blowing them up like bubble gum, or folding them over and over again. Also get a kick out of giving them a fake exit, although they have actually gotten away a couple times when I do that.
>>530649242A curse. It leads to too much rumination, which is depression personified.
>>530649242A curse
>>530664821>And how do you know that?By your other comments. It's your attitude to intellect, like you cannot fathom the higher levels. I have had to spend a lot of time categorizing people so that I can communicate with them.
>>530649242"For in much wisdom is much grief, and he who increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow as well."
>>530665218Good grades do not represent intelligence at all.The Dunning-Kruger effect is not real.I have an attitude towards people that like to brag about themselves.
>>530649242In an "equality" environment like the west, its a curse because every interaction has to go at the pace of the dumbest person
>>530665020Have you ever played doom on nightmare mode where the demons respawn?
>>530665344Yes those comments peg you
>>530665495I don't like hearing people brag about themselves.I couldn't maintain good grades because I was stressed & distracted from being severely bullied, and I would get insulted & belittled by others for having poor-to-mid grades, so the association stuck with me.
>>530665371>The men of ability have been shackled to the wretched of the earth Who cursed you
>>530665679I am sorry you are filled with resentment and feel the need to make excuses. We didn't do that to you. We have our own problems. I am sure you are intelligent enough to have a fulfilling life. There are some midwits in these threads, but we can flex on them from above
>>530665972I'm sorry for letting my resent consume me anon, there was no need of that. Who are the midwits?
>>530652569>Elijah Wood "Studies show" meme
>>530664558Fwd. I didn't imply I was "too good" for others. I tried fitting in with others but nothing worked out.
>>530666198I think you picked up on them. Your intuition is fine. You are right about grades, but wrong on D-K. The basic idea is highly competent people underestimate their competence and the incompetent underestimate the competence of others. (I'm sure it is used incorrectly by midwits and redditors)
>>530649242A curseKnowing you're just gonna rot away and there's nothing you can do about it is a not a good thing
>>530649242First 10 years> Lovely, everyone thinks your funny, everyone says how smart you are. Girls like you because you're wittier than the other boys. Your parents love you and are proud. 10-18 > People start to resent that you're smart. Maybe you're not as big and handsome as other kids. You don't have to work as hard to achieve the things they have to grind and study for. People begin fucking with you and even retards are perceptive enough to know how to make you self conscious. 18-22> You're emotionally stunted from trying to suppress all sources of mental anguish and by extension all feelings. Maybe you go to college, maybe you spin your wheels a little longer. Maybe you punch out of your shit town and join the military. 22-30> Bullying phase is long gone, many of your bullies died crashing their Mitsubishi Eclipse into a bridge stanchion, you start to gain your confidence. Hopefully you have a job and when you visit home you see the same old townies in the same old places doing the same old things. Your old high school sweetheart who ignored you is going through a divorce and now takes a shine to you when she runs into you at the local pub and hears of your exploits, but she treated you like shit and you don't feel like raising Chad's 2 kids now that he's fucked off. 30-40> You're hitting max stride. You've somehow sashayed your intellect into a financial services/legal/insurance/entrepreneurial job and are making loot. You show up to town in an AMG Mercedes and quietly go back to the pub. Your old bullies (the ones who aren't dead) see you and slap you on the shoulder, asking how you've been. You nonchalantly tell them things are great, you're living between Miami and Dubai, your kid is sharp as a tack and everything's going pretty well. You're kind and polite in spite of the years of terrorizing they put you through. Youve made it, and you don't have to rub it in anyone's face. You buy your bully a beer.You are here.It all worked out.
>>530666666Thanks for your input, double satan.
>>530666500Yet the common saying is "stupid people think they're smart" for that. I just have a problem with people weaponizing to belittle others instead of reflecting on themselves.I don't think I am exceptionally intelligent(i.e. 160 IQ). but my intuition tells me I'm smarter than the majority of people/above average , or I could be "ego-stroking".
i assume its a blessing because my stupidity has caused lots of problems.

>>530667321But you wouldn't say 98%. The anon who rankled you is self reported at that level. Smartest kid in his class. I'm rarer than 1 in a million; that's not a flex. Life would be better if we had our iq and net worth tattooed on our foreheads so nobody had anything to prove
>>530649242depends how you use it
>>530667671How do you know you're that rare anon?Were you tested?And why do you think life would be better by getting tattoos of our IQ & Net Worth?
>>530666666That's because you are not smart enough to transcend, 2 headed satan
>>530666666checked, hail satan \m/
>>530666682i think if as a smart person joined fintech or law your school bullying was deserved. In fact it failed because it was too lenient

>>530649242anywhere where cacti live is a shit place for pooskins
>>530667906>And why do you think life would be better by getting tattoos of our IQ & Net Worth?Because we could skip the dick measuring and just chat. That's kinda why I like living amongst niggers; they feel secure enough not to whip their dick out
>>53065216210/10
>>530668240If I were tested, I wonder where I'd be at. My guess 120-130.
>>530649242Intelligence at the absolute high end is a blessing. At the low ends....being self aware of your own stupidity is something I guess. Still stupid though :/
>>530649242both
>>530668483kek
>>530668533Maybe. I was being a little mean and making a joke at 109. From my vantage there isn't much difference between you and the anon that rankled you but I know people are very competitive around the middle of the bell curve; especially just where it starts to steepen. On the far tails it's not like that at all
>>530666666supercharged satan has a point
>>530649242>is intelligence a blessing or a cursed?too much is a curse too little is a curselike everythign in life
>530666666wasted
>>530666666well shit
>>530668842It's fine. You accurately described me with how people on the ends are laidback. While I do want to succeed in life yet I am not determined to climb the ladder so instead I am enrolling in a job that gives me a sense of fulfillment, what's wanted is a reasonable amount of success. I notice that i've got more clarity than I did when I was younger, massive change of habits is why(especially quitting social media 2 years ago).
>>530663684>restore the natural orderThe old regime fell because it prevented the entry of new blood.

>>530672226Which is why you should stay off social media. Mentioning bullies is chumming the water for narcs. Why you think I didn't take the bait on destroying remote viewers and shit
>>530671220Solomon condemned all of israel and himself to damnation through his hubris. He thought that the wisdom God granted him made himself equal to God.1 Kings 114 For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the Lord his God, as was the heart of David his father.
>>530649477I hate americans so so much.
>>530670818thanks anon!
>>530649242yes (not that I would no)
>>530651883Yeah this. Retard Normies will straight up try to murder or poison smart people.
>>530672412Exactly. My reasons for quitting 2 years ago were many different ones. Eventually it may get to the point where I rarely dwell the internet(I already don't spend much on it compared to the average person, in terms of hours its like 1/3 of the average time spent.)
Self awareness, consciousness, is the worst curse in existence, because one day it will cease.
>>530672415Oh that's a good point. If he had gained it the hard way he would have known his limitations. Kinda dunning-kruger wisdom haver
>>530649242True knowledge is a curse because then you know both good and bad things and the bad things tend to outweigh the good things. Id rather deal with an uncomfortable truth than a blissful lie though.
>>530649242It is better to be dumb and arrogant in life.Intelligence is a curse.
>>530672629And find alternatives. Like hiking, reading interesting books, music, etc. Because when I spend alot of time online on a specific day I end up regretting it.
>>530649242I can't tell if this is bait or not
>>530649242Overall its a blessing. You just need to limit who you spend time with. You need to find other intelligent people to be around and find work where you can be around other intelligent people or alone. You arent going to fit in at the local hockey match. I was unhappy until that clicked.
>>530672688Exactly, it is a be careful what you wish for. Wisdom is earned, and it being handed over skips the reasoning of wisdom itself.
>>530649242intelligence is looking at a photo of a young milf and making her have sex with you in your mind OP.also stop being a faggot about it.
>>530649242The torturous nature stems from your environment, not intelligence itself, but its conflict with real circumstances, as such it's not an attribute of intelligence itself.There's also a difference between intellectual suffering and emotional or empathetic suffering, and self-pity generally is a silly attitude.
>>530669578I even downgraded to a flip phone. Everyone that is worth me talking too and engaging with non anonymously is in it.
>>530672910I live in my car in the bush and it's been raining for days. It's nice to have company sometimes >>530673291Thanks for handing me some wisdom anon, I shall ponder it as I doze off in the rain
>>530672412Its funny because nearly 2 years after I quit I am seeing news online talking about how people are quitting it aswell. I don't have much of a digital footprint, eventually the plan is to rarely dwell, while this forum is decent, there is a growing amount of garbage that ruins it.
>>530672521Welcome
>>530672851Intelligence doesn't prevent you from behaving in an arrogant manner; that's mainly a matter of ignorance and upbringing.>nobody managed to teach you to behave correctly (=egotistically) but instead blinded you with idealism and morality That can (and must) be overcome.>we trained him wrong as a joke
Both, life is on easy mode, so you're able to set by with little effort. Also you're able to scrape by with little effort, so putting in the work for potentially greater rewards doesn't really seem worth it. You're able to see through all of the bullshit that comes comes with greater rewards and tend to be content in your own little world.
>>530673513What the fuck dude, who are you? Why are you replying for me?>>530673636Ofcoarse
>>530649242>or a cursedYou answered your own question.
>>530649242it's a cursethose who lack it don't know what they miss, and thus don't carewe know what we have and how much superior we are, but we still have to live with these monkeyswe should massacre them, really
>>530673854>Omg a typo>You must be retarded People like you remind me of this midwit girl I met as a very young lad. She thought she was more intelligent than I, simply because I had not yet learned how to spell Mississippi correctly.
>>530673795Sorry dude. Your story sounded eerily similar to mine. Almost as if you knew I did that myself.
>>530670744so what's the bet, a restoration of the "natural order" means imposing an aristocracy; in a modern context, you end up with an aberration where any extremist with money (chud, genderbender, techbro, champagne-socialist/lefttard) will want to impose their order. >Conflating these is part of the great levellingThe reason a bourgeoisie, as you define it, did not develop in America was because the automation and democratization of services was so extensive that it eliminated any pretense of servitude except for the highest caste.
>>530649242sometimes I wish I was more retardedI read this board and even you guys sound really dumb to meconversations with average people are really boring and make me feel like an alien. luckily I work in healthcare so I can find some higher IQ people around sometimes
>>530649242I wish I was as dumb as the browns and trannies on here, ignorance is bliss.
>>530649242A FUCKING CURSE. Women sense intelligence and avoid you because they can't manipulate you. Employers avoid you because they can't exploit you or are afraid you will take their jobs. You see total bullshit and retard behavior as the norm. It's worse when ppl say you're smart, why aren't you x, not realizing x is determined by nepotism/inheritance or cronyism/Luck and has nothing to do with skill or intelligence. Like ppl saying you're handsome, why don't you have a gf? Same deal.
>>530649242it's a blurse
>>530649242Curse. It's a fucking curse. I miss my old self who didn't like reading.
>>530674468>>530674607You're both gay & should kiss each other passionately then fuck together with full bliss. Oh! Don't forget to spoon after!
>>530674240It's in effect an issue of rapidity and lack of history.Europe had a middle class because development was gradual, population density high and property heavily divided since ancient times, people running a shop or engaging in a trade for five generations, or inheriting guild membership or Bürger status.In the USA everything was up for grabs untill the land speculators (the original elite) was done, which caused a greater divide, especially when combined with mass immigration of poor working class people.This also led to a faster process of relative monopolisation, giant corporations emerging who controlled entire sectors, which quickly left no room for a conventional middle class or bought/jewed them out, something that took longer in the old world.
>>530652569Kys studies show faggot. Being smart doesn't cause me to make less decisions. I make less decisions because what I do is pointless. I could go out and get another high paying job but there is no point. I could and have excelled at whatever I put an ounce of effort into but all that does is make me care, just makes me overworked and be under paid or under appreciated. I loathe those who can detach themselves from what they do. I loathe those who cannot see a project they are told to work on not be a pointless endeavor. I wish I wasn't nearly always correct. Because I desire myself to be wrong. Maybe this thing I work on won't be abandoned in 2 months even though I made it as simple as possible for the intended purpose. But I rarely am wrong and I spin my wheels to see the car never move.I don't question things and go into a what if loop. I just see the end of the line before the train leaves the station. The journey has no point besides to waste time.
To anyone reading thisReasons to quit social media>Wasting time>Invasion of privacy>Rigged algorithms >Lacking authentic connection>Takes away from present>Ruins confidence
>>530649242Depends on if you do something with your intelligence or if you just bitch about how smart you are and how dumb everyone else is.
>>530675577>/qa/now that's an ancient meme
>>530675577you've forgotten the most important>plays on narcissism and thus makes you gay
>>530651572>a basic human activity that leads to the creation of more humans and the propagation of your genetics is overrated
>>530651572getting laid is awesome, unless its someone youve already fucked. i usually like fucking twice. the first time i like to make sure they almost cum, but dont, and then just bust real quick. bluelips. lol. dunno why i do it, i think its just to gauge their reaction to not being able to, and knowing i could make them if i wanted to. the girls who expect to cum every time will bail usually, and im ok with that, but the girls who rarely cum are pretty much kept on retainer after that. the sluts fall into the former, the ones worth investing in the latter.
>>530675577B-but what about /pol/?
it doesnt matter because you can drink yourself into normalcy or just hit yourself over the head with a monkey wrench
>>530651904why can't you put that "superior intellect" into figuring out how to npcspeak to the normgroids, the zoomers call it rizz.
>>530675577by the end of the decade AI will become unbearable and i expect more people will start disconnecting from wired, the remaining will solely doomscroll. i don't know if quitting is the best course of action, I think the internet should retain its original ethos of anonymity and as a means of communication and not be a platform for advertisements and data harvesting. Blogs, alternate forums, self-hosted sites, alt-social networks need to gain traction>>530675847>now that's an ancient memeIt's been almost 5 years...how quickly time flies
Blessing Smart people know when and how to pull out from society and enjoy their peacestupid morons stay in rat race all their life Also smart people have hobbies and do art while dumb people spend their time in vague and meaningless way like clubbing or falling on their head from skateboard Smart people have better grasp on humility while stupid people let hubris take over their life and cant ever get enough of anything Yes, dumb people feel less but their dumb brains lead them to dumb choices that have most of the time far reaching consequences Smart people at best get very upset for short periods of time before they find peace again and stabilise Smart people usualy do better in life mentaly and physically while dumb people go to never ending therapies and get hurt a lot
>>530652148Fucking This!
>>530677270Social media is different from forums, anon. I do agree with your point on AI, as its taking over TV and Art now.
>>530649242It's a curse. The football jock is more respected than the scientist or inventor. People pay money to watch brain damaged roided retards throw a ball from one side of the field to the other. As a result they are rewarded with fame, women, social status, wealth, etc. Ain't nobody throwing a parade for a scientist or inventor. Americans admire athleticism more than intelligence, of this Vivek Ramaswamy was definitely correct about. I think at one point more people tuned in to watch sports than the presidential inauguration or debate or something.
>>530675577If you have to quit social media your IQ isn't that high to begin with.I never even felt the urge to start using them, and consequently I didn't.>>530675540That's a typical example of demoralisation, and while that's reliant on (supposed) insight it's not dependent on above average intelligence; that just increases the likelihood.The problem with your attitude is that you came to faulty conclusions, possibly connected to an ignorance of economics. It's not difficult to get paid for something you like doing, even on your own initiative, and this isn't directly connected to greed.The worst thing anyone could do is nothing, regardless of whether their IQ is 80 or 180, and irrespective of the outcome.Fundamentally your viewpoint is too externalised.>I spin my wheels to see the car never move>I just see the end of the line before the train leaves the station. The journey has no point besides to waste time.Is time somehow going to stop? You are the train yourself. You have yet to figure out where you actually want to go, just know where you don't.
>>530677687>Social media is different from forums, anon.I mean, I can play with the semantics, but the dynamics in the larger forums (leedit, kiwif_rms, 4cuck) can end up being the same as in larger social networking sites. Given their nature, the type of content they generate is obvious, and I have no doubt that it's used to harvest data (4chan).I think the ideal solution would be to use less centralized systems. A blog or website is a dream for any introvert, a platform where you share a scope of yourself without the pressure of social networks like Instagram, Xitter, or similar platforms to post ragebait, doomscroll, or react. >I do agree with your point on AI, as its taking over TV and Art now.We're heading in an even worse path; eventually, social media will become self-contained, personalized hells, instant personalized content. We'll end up with the complete fracturing of organic IRL communities into consumer groups that an algorithm will identify and self-encapsulate. As soon as Generation Alpha/Beta reaches adulthood, the closest relationship these kids will have will be with an AI that will train them in whatever fads are currently popular (Trad-LARP, Left Guerrilla Revolutionary-LARP, musical revival of the week).

What exactly is the point of high IQ societies ( besides socialization among peers I assume) Like I never heard of Mensa actually doing anything, curing any diseases or solving problems etc. This is why I never bothered joining. Like I wanna actually do something lol.
>>530666682This is the most Indian thing I've ever read
>>530674876On the other hand I can add that the United States is the only place where a large part of the population identifies as middle class, from wagecucks who live paycheck to paycheck to large landowners or "self-made" business owners. This is a contradiction that is intertwined with the aspect of the American dream, an idea that appeals to European peasants hoping for a better life and entrepreneurs who can't fit into the rigid world of Europe "high class".
>>530649242If you have power to put the intelligence to a real use then it's a blessing, but being intelligent without the power would be a curse.
>>530680825This is mainly a symptom of the society as a whole being "very wealthy". If we were to place entire countries into such classes clearly the USA would rank as "upper class".If however we look at it relatively we have to ask where the "middle" really is, in terms of wealth in the USA, which places only millionaires into the middle class; or income on the order of 200-300k. The remainder is either working class or exists in relative (or outright) poverty. Still most working class Americans would rank as middle class in other economies, on an international standard.In effect they shifted the meaning towards standards of living, at least on the surface, since the entire matter is mired in ideas of "prestige". Having a Ferrari doesn't itself put you into a different class, especially if it's all you have or actually owned by the bank, and kitchen appliances are a bit of an outdated metric.There's also the issue of home ownership. Does some Americans cardboard house put them into the "middle class"? Yeah, but only because their housing market is fucked.
>>530653354>basically being smart is the plot to commando
>>530678230By social media I meant Discord & YouTube. Those were the only platforms I used. Never used the generic platforms like intsagram,snapchat,tiktok>>530679747I love the idea of platforms like that, forums.And the fact it's only getting worse, shit.
I have a tested IQ of 116. That I'm smarter than roughly 85% of the population does not fill me with hope because I feel mentally defeated by most things without great effort.
>>530652569in a fair and just world this would maybe be the case but not in this fake bullshit world full of epsteins, fake, social media fake, fake jobs, literally remembering vocabulary for decades in 'higher ed' etc etc no sane intelligent person would think this makes any sense and isnt a corrupt fake world
>>530663451getting laid doesn't always lead to a relationship
>>530682630
>>530649242Both. You're not crippled by the day-to-day problems of life because you have the brainpower to solve them - if you have the will to.On the other hand, you can perceive things that others cannot, and you cannot communicate that to them, not because of any communication issue on your part, but rather the nearly impossible-to-accept reality that most people lack the receptors to understand it - even basic, obvious shit they can see with their own eyes.You learn that the meme expression "you can't fix stupid" is solidly grounded in psychology. You will encounter ignorant people, but ignorance is simply the gap between what one already knows and additional knowledge that one can willfully acquire. But stupidity is a condition, like being left handed or having thin hair. Workarounds can help here and there, but the underlying condition cannot be fixed or changed by any means.And those are the people with whom you must deal every day. You work for them, you work with them, you are related to them, you live next door to them, you buy things from them, etc. They suck they suck the life clean out of you.
>>530682545It depends on your level of participation, expectations and usage too. Having an anonymous/pseudonymous account to access it occasionally isn't participation. You'd have to upload, engage in social activities or use it for a substantiative amount of time, beyond leaving the occasional comment or watching a video.In regards to expectations: do you expect to be seen or noticed by a "society"? The sheer number of participants also is important, I think. A chatroom with 20 people doesn't really count unless it's central to your life, but active participation in a larger context would.Finally the nature of the media and effort: "talking", including text, is too mundane, but putting real effort (and consequently time) into it may qualify.I have some accounts myself, where necessary, but all I do is leech content occasionally, not much different from reading a book would be.
