Sometimes I hate having high intelligence...

I'm so smart that my life is miserable

I truly believe it's actually cruel to tell people who are just average or below that they're really smart. If you were truly as smart as you think you are, you'd be able to escape your predicament. Your problem isn't that your in the middle (most people are). It's that counterfeiters used to be hanged and usury also used to be banned or severally limited. So you've been told your whole life that these things are good and it's your fault things are the way they are. While they steal from you, every single day and tell you it's good for you.

It's worse being smart to the point you paralyze yourself and never do anything

start using drugs. find one that you like and develop a habit.

This. I’m a decade into working as a chemical engineer. Not some faggy fucking code monkey, an actual engineer. The amount of mental calories I burn every workday is exhausting. My brain feels like mush afterwards, and it actually is the most depressing thing imaginable. I used to have a ton of creative pursuits but by the time the workday is done my brain is spent. I hate it. I’d rather be digging ditches at this point, but unfortunately I have bills to pay. Find a job that is outdoors, and just technical enough to weed out retards, and you’ll be infinitely happy.

If you can't think of a solution all you can make is more problems

But go ahead retards always jump first

Paralysis by analysis is a real thing. You need to become a man of action willing to make mistakes, which you’ll realize usually doesn’t matter.

I had a comfy factory job as forklift driver, then I get to the point

WTF I'm doing with my life!?!

then I started PhD in STEM
I could stay in a factory....

some mistakes do matter. some mistakes take you to an early grave or get people close to you hurt.
it you get paralyzed by overthinking stuff that only means that thinking is not really your forte no matter how smart you think you are.

was an accelerated learner from a young age until I cruised out realising I wasn't special
Always valued my 'powers of observation'
For a while I had a friend whom I assumed was a complete retard but an amazingly nice guy.
One day I watch him playing fifa and I notice that he's just running it down and scoring with one player the whole time, 'teching' around opponents

woah do you play this a lot or is this just an easy opponent?

nah I don't really play anymore but my account was ranked #2 in the world for a little while, now I'm just top 50

ohshitok.jpg

so this is your game then?

nah not really

he switches to street fighter, and again begins to just whup people's asses at a high rank and again

I don't play this often but I'm pretty high ranked

turns out he also used to play league of legends with some now well known early season professionals from the usa and beat them all the while having 400+ms ping
start to wonder if he's just retarded and great at video games

he starts a new job bartending and in 3 years everybody there loves him so much they promoted him to their security and threat monitoring division on a 6 figure salary for working 4 days a week

he's now also top 100 in the world at nba

gets several accounts banned on call of duty because the system thought he was using an aimbot but I watched him play legitimately using a controller

learns 3 languages at once

gets a hot rich korean qt gf that waits on him despite being hugely overweight and having no regard for his physical wellbeing

buys a house for his friends to hang out in

I could go on, but this dude was unreasonably smart and so socially adept that people just gave him things and opportunities because he was so likeable
on one hand you could hate him for acting like an idiot and pandering to normie types, but he has life completely figured out without even trying,

mfw I have 140iq and suck at most things

I’m assuming the shit he is thinking of is just banal life choices, not whether he should smoke cigarettes.

forgot mfw

Perhaps this is caused by a deeper pattern recognition that nothing you do matters. All that will matter in the end is escaping reincarnation and being with Christ. If you can't accept God as Truth and the only way, then you can't be intelligent, because all design biological and inorganic is intelligently designed to a degree that can't be translated into human language. Those of high intelligence know this knowing-feeling. God is the key and your inaction is forgivable, because you were smart enough to stay away from grave sins and conquer your own mind through deep reflection and analysis, rather than impose on other souls for a pursuit outside of Christ.

I’ve recently gotten over my paralysis by analysis and have trained myself to be principled and instinctual. For a bit now I have been able to act quickly and make decisions that I previously would have spent days debating internally.

I think part of intellectual growth is to come back around to heuristics. People tend to throw away away heuristics in favor of mental masturbation over the detailed minutiae of every decision, leading to paralysis. At some point, if you are growing, you realize this and lean back into heuristics. Reevaluating old and developing new, you realize they exist for efficiency and their purpose content out the paralyzing details.

Pizza delivery is a cerebral sometimes chaotic activity. What I’ve learned delivering pizzas cannot be taught at no school. Just one High IQ anons opinion

Trains is a hard job saar

I don't know about jesus but this describes me basically
I isolate myself and take on tasks to learn things in solitude in some weird respect for a higher being (and the crippling paranoia that I may already be in hell and can only improve by avoiding human interaction until my soul is redeemed but hey who cares)

You sound like you might have adhd and potentially main character syndrome. It's very common nowadays. There's nothing wrong with doing a simple job and just learning to enjoy the fact that you can only control yourself and your own life.

No, I don’t have ADHD.

I have achieved highly in my life in academia. I am starting a post-doc this week. STEM field. I enjoy complex thought and creating things. But the people who surround me are endlessly annoying because they are midwits and do not follow their thoughts to the logical conclusion. The majority of people in academia are midwits and it’s exhausting. I get to the point where I can’t stand them and their incessant whining. I just want to throw it all away and do some simple with normal people. But that isn’t intellectually satisfying and I know I’d come back to the world of complex thought eventually. I won’t let myself work a simple job and lead a simple life. It’s exhausting.

BYE!

Sometimes i hate having a tripcode syolen aftrr Anon Babble resets
It was a hilarious password too

But the people who surround me are endlessly annoying because they are midwits and do not follow their thoughts to the logical conclusion.

This sounds like main character syndrome

Yeah

inb4 he also trqnscended religion and is atheist

I bet he didnt even study the blade

No, he is right about academia. It is incredibly demoralizing how many scientists fall victim to leftist doublethink, even in their own fields.

even without doublethink in stem I find a lot of people that aren't analytically minded and rode on nepotism to their position

what about a simple job where you have enough downtime to pursue intellectual matters independently
which stem field?
do your interests require academic/corporate funding?

Is it main character syndrome to recognize that you have higher intelligence than another person? I dont consider myself better life more valuable or meaningful than other people. It’s actually the opposite. The reason my colleagues are so frustrating is because I consider them to be of high intelligence and they still fall for basic tricks and make bad arguments and complain about things beyond their control. I hold them to a higher standard.

If you had a son and he chose to be a fatass loser you would be frustrated with him for not meeting your expectations. This isn’t main character syndrome, it’s having expectations for others, and the frustration comes when those expectations aren’t met.

But my stupid brain won’t let me.

Spoken like a true mid-wit.

sometimes I hate having high intelligence

You don't have it, doe.

has high intelligence

can't use it to make his life enjoyable

Doubt it's really as high as you think.

Funding is it. I wouldn’t make enough money in a simple job to study things in my spare time. I do a lot of field work.

it's probably demoralization shillposting
peter thiel himself getting down off his horse to tell you that you're just lazy and need to stop expecting avocado toast for being smart

you're just being trolled.
On the other hand nobody cares here if you're smart.
This board has above average intelligence for a social website and as a result there are a large population of people who arrogantly consider themselves above others, so when you post something like

I hate being smart

You're basically inviting these people to insult you

Yeah, you’re right. To be honest I use this website as a testing ground for thoughts banging around in my head, so I don’t expect others to solve My problems or empathize , I’m just getting thoughts out.

I appreciate your sincerity though, you’re a real one.

I have no comment further than what i said. I can't place myself in your shoes in regards to having colleagues or having colleagues that i think are highly intelligent. Maybe in wrong but I'm just thinking that you sound like you may be suffering under the weight of your own intelligence and it's resulting in overly moralistic thinking that leads to you placing yourself on a pedestal. I've been there myself, it happens to the best or worst of us.

I use this as a steam vent for things I can't communicate to people
for what it's worth I'm currently undergrad in stem and I already see just as much mediocrity
it isn't exactly inspiring

I like to believe that being isolated makes a saint out of a man. The world, it's people, and influence is unable to pierce the aura of a man who knows himself. I don't like to interact with people mostly because I feel superior to them spiritually and mentally, and it always feels like they are trying to drain my energy in some way.

Imagine you'd be unable to watch Seinfeld, and thought Friends is top tier comedy gold,
That's no way to love a life.

Use ketamine. It's a gift to intelligent people. You will find the spirit within you.

Academia is a shit show full of leftist propaganda. Very accomplished academics that I know have noticed it's decline. Grievance studies affair is a good highlight on how bad the worst fields can get.
Universities isn't that different from TAFE nowadays. We have turned universities into degree mills, that don't value independent thought. Being wrong in a way that nobody has thought of before is actually better than being right in a way everyone has.

Seinfield is boring American humour.

Sometimes I wish I could just work pizza delivery

Knowing the addresses, not getting lost, giving change. Too hard for me.

It’s not going to get better. If you have a passion and the only way to achieve it in the current meta is through academia, then continue in academia, but it is a long lonely road. If your interests and goals can be achieved elsewhere, I’d recommend it. Besides, academia will probably be changing fundamentally soon because federal funding is being cut.

I like to believe that being isolated makes a saint out of a man

How wrong you are. Horribly wrong...

I like to believe that being isolated makes a Satan out of a man

I wish there were arcades around that I could go to as a grown man without getting weird looks.
