*Note, I start out talking about IQ's And End up all over the map with this, It's well written though. Meh...
IQ's are hard to talk about Because really smart people already know it's not the most important of things. What matters most in life is how you treat other people, That's as true today as It has always been.
Still to speak of IQ's it places a score on intellect and then makes it a competitive sport. So how do people In a kind and respectful way, Respect everyone and still talk about it? Because this is Casual. This isn't Oxford?
There are a lot of really smart people here, I know that's true because I'm drawn here, Like a lot of us are, let's face it, We aren't watching ESPN and talking about the last time we went Mudding.
Most of us here are Above Average and Probably went to the Gifted classes. It's Just No one ever talks about because it's not polite. Why is that? Why is it not okay to push our minds as hard as we can? And Be proud of it? I want to know why it's a Taboo Subject when we are all Fascinated with pushing the limits of our minds?
Ever Since I was a kid, I didn't have a choice, I never Fit in anywhere because I couldn't Relate To bass Fishing And Deer Hunting and Mudding. I guess Those are localized examples But that never mattered to me because People at large are all mostly assholes anyway. Sometimes We get softer when we age, And we realize maybe I was the asshole after all. That's Right, Some Day you too will Age and Realize SP was an Asshole, It happens to everyone.
I was put through a hard life, The first person Besides My mom and Dad I was ever exposed too was my brother, Who had Sibling rage so severe he legitimately attempted to kill me thee different times, This was my own brother, gee I wonder why Shadowprophet doesn't like people, All That Aside I guess that's where it comes from, Since Birth I've had to be able to recognize danger and find solutions that work. for very real reasons.
But where do other people get it from? Is it environment? Is it genetic? What kinds of things affect intellectual development?
I'm betting almost every highly intelligent person ever, Experienced some sort of trauma at an early age, But that's just the horse I'm betting on. What do you guys think is that very critical moment that took you off the normal path and allowed you to function on a higher level?
There I said it. But you can't talk about it unless you say it, So I'm not taking it back.
