And I don't have an unhealthy view of intelligence. I'm not proud of having a high IQ.

That's probably a good idea; it's an image, by itself as hollow as Christianity or World Leader or anything else which can be rendered into a meaningless, hollow flag.

Be proud of how you can apply it.

TBH, right now, you... probably don't. A bit of holdover from the past, but as mentioned in the other post, you're showing extreme intellectual rigidity associated with profound stress overdose. Which, btw, is neurotoxic as fuck and there are likely fluid-filled holes where some of your brain tissue used to be.

Relax a little. But, you're not going to be able to wield much new neural processing if you DON'T relax a little.

But, it's difficult to keep a level head occasionally when thinking about how less smart people hurt you or others with actions that you can see are wrong, but they can't.

Well, someone has to be the intelligent, mature individual on the earth. How many people do you see stepping up to the plate?

For that matter, someone has to fix this. They have to do so without the resources or assets that major powers enjoy - i.e., without resources or assets at all. You're smarter than 99% of the population - your own words - when are you going to do it? No one else is going to do it for you. No one else is paying attention to a damn thing. The fact that you're speaking english is an indicator that, probabalistically, your state security services have been letting an offshore power operate military assaults on the civilian populace on its own soil for a long time. They're asleep at the wheel, it's up to you.

as a very deliberate method of willful ignorance.

Now you're getting closer in your analysis; maybe your humblebrag isn't far off.

Game theory. People go with what works, and the life scripts model (you do read, right?) tells us that they make up their mind about what actually works very early in life on the basis of what they see succeed around them.

It's not that they're organically stupid, it's that they actually think stupidity is an asset. Somewhere early in life (like, infancy), conversely, you apparently decided that emulating your family was completely dysfunctional.

Speaking of which...

"I'm a whole lot better at reaching the right conclusions than you!" is just a frustrated response

...it's also a thought-terminating cliche, even if it's true. :p

So, one more example. Breathe a little, homie. Consider secular buddhism for self-care. A little meditation, a little wisdom in where to place your attachment. Much is impermanent or outside one's control.

You've been... flat-out cracking for a while now, and were unable to figure out how total knowledge of the future could help one choose one's own actions. You're... probably going to have to address that if you want that braggable IQ to actually be existent or useable.

And you'd better. It's your job to solve this. Globally. Because literally no one else is awake at the wheel.

I... kind of apologize for teasing you. It was amusing to me for two reasons; stress-rigidity and its effects were obvious... and secondly, I've been tested and there are literally less than five thousand people on the planet as or more intelligent than me. I broke this regime, once; this is the second wave of counterinsurgency. I'm thinking I may have the data to do it again.

That's no excuse for you to think you can slack off on your obligations to completely fix a world with no one manning the wheel, though. Solve it, now.

I might die, I might fail, I might get bored and wander away. Or, I might decide to say "fuck it," get arrested for the ensuing orgy, and spend the rest of my life teaching DIY nuclear proliferation in the federal prison system, which is exactly what I plan to do if I end up in any prison system.

You're so smart, it's your turn. Literally no one else is doing so.


...and this is not the first time.
