My grandfather privately had major depressive disorder and anxiety, and was a psychiatrist. So valid point.
I realized during covid that most people are quite dumb and I didn't realize that before. But what's actually lacking in people is maturity and kindness.
Too much focus on iq, as if it makes you a better person. It may make you more productive for the corps. Good for them.
It’s unfortunate, but be thankful it took you that long to realize it.
Yeah, "gifted".
Especially since gifted, is based on biased metrics that personally feel like they ignore a lot of other factors.
The comic doesn't say what metric was used to judge intelligence.
Also lifelong concern with things that the average group doesn't notice, and inability to be entertained by the things that enthrall them.
The worst thing about being gifted is that you can't use "I'm an idiot" as an excuse. There are tons of people out there that hide their mental disorders behind being dumb. You can't do that when they have a test that says you can't do that.
Sure you can. Most people don't know about your test results. Even for those that do, there are plenty of people gifted in some areas and deficient in others.
This feels like some kind of reverse Dunning Kruger backflip fallacy.
- Dumb people are confident despite their ineptitude.
- I lack all form of confidence.
- Therefore, I am quite smart.
