My sister, who is mentally retarded got the vaccine because our parents did. I begged them not to but they did it anyway, then let it happen to my sister.
I am so angry. And I really don’t understand. I’m just not that smart. My dad is an aerospace engineer and my mom is an angel from heaven. What happened to them? They have been conservative Christians and voters all their lives. I just don’t get it. Why am I the smart one here?
I think you may be thinking of what is "smart"
within the bastardized definition imposed in it today. Anyone can read or see any data set and memorize. Once memorized, anyone can regurgitate on command. One can learn a vast amount of a subject or multiple for that matter and use it to make a living or use it to impress. But all "knowing" something does is prove one has memorized something ALREADY known. In other words these people are simply hard drives waiting for input and nothing more.
What makes someone smart is logic and reasoning coupled with the 'know how' on how to think NOT what to think. What good does it do if one knows a lot but can't understand how logic and reasoning works and subsequently implement said logic and reasoning against their current "knowledge". What happens when this person is presented with data that counters their current "knowledge? Error: 'Do Not Compute' and they fall back to their true and tried method of self esteem. They lean on whomever and whatever resolves said error. Some may define error resolution by finding someone that can reconfirm their own prior knowledge, however flawed that confirmation may be. This person knowingly dismisses any thought contrary to the end goal, error resolution. Once that is accomplished, they proudly dust off their hands and move on to regurgitate their flawed "knowledge" all over social media, family dinners and daily conversations. They infect those around them as they sip their Browndo from plastic Champaign glassware. Rinse and repeat.
Forgive my assumptions but the way I see it is your blessed. A father who obviously possesses the capacity for greatness and one doesn't have to remind you in the value of looking up to a father like that. A mother who appears to be the definition of love itself. And a sister which by her very being inspires compassion.
Take the best from people around you, learn from and discard the worst in people around you, ingest as much knowledge as possible, apply your reasoning and logic and you will no doubt be dangerous.
The goal in my opinion is not wondering why one is the smart one in the room but when will the output begin. When will the switch be flipped from within us to start adding NEW knowledge to the ALREADY known bubble of human knowledge. I think this forum (The Donald), contributes daily to expanding that bubble. The amount of human computation going on here is bonkers.
