Anyone who tells people they are "the smartest person in the room" is almost guaranteed to not be the smartest person in the room.
LOL. You gave exactly one more fuck than I did, to go look at the comment history.
^ Mostly agree.
They might be the smartest in the room, but they are not the most emotionally stable. Emotional instability clouds judgement, nullifying whatever their intellectual superiority may or may not be.
Most of the "stable geniuses" I've ever seen or met are people that might very well recognize or suspect they are the smartest in the room, but largely don't give a fuck. Most people have an intellectual capacity great enough to understand or do anything they'll need to. Our problem as a society in general isn't mental deficiency in the form of low IQ, it's emotional instability associated with extreme indoctrination practices. Regardless of their IQ, their judgement is thoroughly clouded and impaired, and the dishonest prey on that ceaselessly.
Also, there's a quote from someone, I don't remember who. Maybe it was Einstein? It goes something like "A master at a subject can teach it to a child". Raw IQ is worthless without proper "usage" and utilization. If someone really is the brightest in the room, or really is a genius, and they have utilized this effectively, they will have only minor difficulties dealing with even severely IQ impaired individuals.
I have been around some extremely smart people in my time. What I have learned is that the smartest people are usually the dumbest when it comes to the real world and common sense type things, street smarts. They may very well have a 160 IQ but a common grifter on the street will easily separate them from their money.
Um. How else am I supposed to make sure everyone knows how friggin smart I am then huh, huh?? Gosh.
True, and I never used to say things like that. Until I realized that everyone around me always comes to me to solve their problems. A year ago, maybe two, it just hit me that I'm far smarter than I ever gave myself credit for. Heh. I graduated last in my class after spending an extra year in high school. Not because I'm stupid but frankly because I have bad language skills and I gave up on giving a shit about my GPA.
I never went to college because the one time I tried... one class I could teach it myself. I literally knew more than the teacher. It was a computer hardware class. The other was a Pascal class and the teacher was horrible. The one time I actually needed help in a class he was useless. If I'm going to teach myself then why in the hell was I paying them.
I did a job for HP at the Omni(CNN Center Atlanta) in the 90s. We installed email clients on every PC in the building. Out of ten contractors there guess who was the go to guy for fixing problem machines? Mac... NP. PC... NP. Unix... NP. Because of that job later I worked a contract doing HP-ux phone support. They interviewed hundreds of people and they hired 50-100 people to work the admin desk. You know stupid stuff, mounting drives, and adding users... changing passwords, etc. They hired TWO people to work the networking department because it was WAY harder. I was one of the those two people.
I'm not trying to toot my own horn. I'm not known for bragging. I'm just sick of having a self image that's less than reality.
Heh. My house was raided once by the police. LONG story. They had the wrong house. I'm sitting outside while they search. I'm talking to the cops. This one female cop "You're really smart aren't you." I just laughed. Needless to say I'm not in jail so they aren't so smart. They can't even raid the right house.
I admit I don't hang out with academics. I spent part of my childhood on a farm. At heart I'm a redneck, but the only person I know IRL that I'm 100% sure is smarter than me is my father. So yeah, more often than not I'm the smartest person in the room. Don't be confused. I'm not saying I'm the most knowledgeable person in the room. I'm not saying I'm the most skilled.
Thx though. I've been slacking for a very long time. Maybe its time I got up off my ass and used my smarts.
Share your knowledge. Create something from nothing. Help someone else be a better person. Commit a random act of kindness. That's what matters. Never stop learning. Stop feeling like the world owes you because you think you're smarter than most others. Go prove it.
I've never felt like the world owes me anything but a fair chance. I'm sick and tired of the world beating me down. Every time I try to do something someone or something gets in my way. It took me a very long time to realize that the problems I ran into were partly my own issue but about 70% of it was actually these Marxist bastards creating bureaucratic road blocks. Throw in a little feminism ruining my relationships and life just fucking sucked.
I tried to get something patented. My finances are pretty shitty. I applied to a pro-bono program for help. This total bitch running the program threw up roadblock after roadblock then denied me any help. She wouldn't say it but I knew the truth. I'm a white male. I have white privileged. I don't deserve or need help.
Don't even get me started about how the patent system is structured. Its all built around the idea that big business wins. Little guys can't get anywhere but ripped off by shyster lawyers. They make it seem like its fair but its not.
I admit I've been a little bit lazy about some things, but I tried my hardest for months on end. I read up. I took free online courses. I jumped through all the hoops and I got NO WHERE. I needed $10-30k or I was just shit out of luck, and I just don't have that kind of money. The worst part is I still have the idea. Hell I've got about ten ideas. I can't tell them to anyone. If I do without a patent they will just steal the idea and I get jack shit. The whole system is rigged.
Imagine a combat shotgun with a 50 round mag, but its not bulky or unwieldy like the handful of drum mag ones available now. Yep... I know how to solve that problem. Can't tell anyone. Can't patent it. Can't do shit. I can't say more because it would give it away, but I'm talking about something so revolutionary they would write my name in the history books next to Browning. Sure there is a small chance once we got into the nitty-gritty of the engineering it might not work, but I give it a solid 98% chance it would work.
I decided I wanted to figure out a way to airdrop and M-1 tank. I figured out a dam good way that has at least a 50/50 chance of working. And if it works as well as I think it will you could use it to airdrop all sorts of CRAZY heavy ass stuff. Can't tell anyone.
I also decided I wanted to figure out how to get an M-1 tank from a ship to the shore. How do you do that in a cheap way that allows you to do it in BULK. I'm talking 500 tanks all at once(full D-day invasion), not 10 at a time using 10 hovercraft which takes flipping forever, and if you lose hovercraft to enemy fire you're boned. Yep solved that problem too. Its so simple once I told you... you would laugh your ass off. I bet money if I told that idea to anyone in the military that knows Abrams he'd make it happen. Can't tell anyone that idea either.
A better style of rocket artillery. Came up with that.
A better grenade launcher. Thought that one up. That's what I tried to patent.
I could go on for hours, but I need to go eat. Either I'm mentally ill and/or stupid or I really am that smart and no one cares because if they can't steal it from me then I'm not worth their time. Do I seriously sound like I'm stupid or mentally ill?
My problem... I'm not connected into the good old boys club. I'm a loner.
There is one idea I've had for a long time now. I came up with it a very very long time ago. I've chastised myself for not doing it, for not putting in the hard work. I'm sort of glad I didn't because I truly believe it would have fucked up Q's plan. I'm thinking the time might be ripe... WorldVote.com
I got to hand it to you standing up for yourself so well. Wish I had the confidence to do the same more often. Have much in common experience wise. Blacksmith did you some good gonna "toughen you up" comments, and also passed on great advise.
"Create something from nothing. Help someone else be a better person. Commit a random act of kindness."
The 'create something from nothing' is the best part and the hardest to do. Random acts of kindness don't need much planning. Something from nothing is never chaos in action. Relentless Focus always Works, just... don't give up, like Ever. People say, life's short but there's enough time for the important stuff.
The real problem that I'm having is that most of what I've created from nothing is good ideas. Without the money to make those ideas physically and/or patent them I'm just spinning my wheels. Without a degree or some sort of contact I can't get anyone to listen to me. So I get nowhere. I'm nobody. I'm just another dumb dude on the internet to everyone else... I could have the cure for cancer and no one would care.
No degrees here, got out of high school barely, threatened with expulsion frequently. Known for innovation, more than I'd like.
Turned several ideas into continuing income. Patents are for bluffing with, share no information. Lawyers are for Letters sent with surprising power. Copy Cats are Cowards. Walk softly and carry a big stick.
A dumbass or a 20 year old dumbass.
