I despise having a high IQ... it created more problems in my life than good things. During my childhood/teenager years I thrived at middle and highschool without breaking a sweat and instead of studying, I played video games and read fantasy books, and now in adulthood I can't for the life of me concentrate in work, it's painfully tedious, I don't know how to study, my anxiety levels are extreme, I'm lazy as fuck, I procrastinate, I can't move forward, I do therapy and still can't escape this nightmare. I wish I could change my "high iq" with being hard working
Personally I have a new strategy about staying under the radar and keeping myself protected from most people. As a biologist I do private research about plants here in Germany.
I am sometimes a hare sometimes a turtoise. Midnight sun, aurora borealis and dragonflies influenced me very very early in life. And of course my fathers dreams of achieving a better life in another country. And to add, it helped me immensly that he taught me the alphabet when I was 4 years old. I'd love to add that it is important to laugh at one owns quirkiness and lifes short comings when they are emotionally worked thrue. To me that has been the glue that has kept me focused on the gem in rocky times. I don't wonder a bit why you Sir are a most attractive to-go-to-influencer when it comes to pretty much all of lifes perspectives. Thank you so much for being you.
"it could be a Kama Sutra term, but it isn't" BRILLIANT !!!!! 8-D To be honest I do not find myself so intelligent at all. On the other hand I feel an automatic mechanism in other people to suppress and ignore my thoughts and opinions even though I am right very often which is proven much later. At that moment I would like to say "I told you so". To protect myself from that I will only tell about what I know when asked for it. I will give hints like that I have a different opinion or thought on a certain subject but I will not tell about it. I wait for others to ask, which rarely happens. Most people just want to transmit and not receive with the risk that they might have to change their mind. I love to be contradicted. This is how I learn.
1:30 in, and you hit my lifelong struggle right on the head... I'm extravert and sociable, but after decades of regret and sorrow I still have a very small circle and feel like no one understands me. Nor that I can trust anyone.
I'm not resonating with this however when you were speaking of laziness I was a bit alarmed. You implied that an intelligent person or high IQ person who is lazy may find that a less intelligent person who isn't lazy will win. I'm very confused at what it is that could be won or lost. For one there isn't even any competition. Two if one person learns something another person hasn't it's quite easy for what the person to share what they learned. And also nobody is lazy. When people are not motivated it's because they are not being stimulated or they are in an abusive situation that is hopeless. When we are hopeless there is nothing to strive for. When we have no access to stimulating knowledge or experience we are unmotivated. And nobody wins this whole fucking thing is a huge loss which I spell laws. Cuz laws are what makes sure it's all loss. Allah's God. A laws God.
I think what Douglas means is that everybody has goals and when you are lazy (eventhough you are highly intelligent) you will not reach your goals by being lazy. I sometimes feel lazy (useless) but I need that time to recover from thinking and doing the work.
@@ctrl-del630 oh I see. But who has the goals? The ego or the mystery of everything the ego isn't? Anything I believe or want is all geared to my ego isn't it? So what does achieving anything in a world that is being dreamt accomplish. It would be like waking up and being mad that we didn't dream a good enough dream because we woke up before we were able to fly. So if we are indeed dreaming while we are awake which seems to be the case. The attraction to the world we imagined without a belief system that was beneficial for us isnt the best place to be setting goals and even a worse place to work at accomplishing them or anything else for that matter. I could be misinterpreting everything but it's how it's processing in my mind.
He’s assuming everyone is an NPC worker drone that thinks “success” in life is farming the most tax dollars for your masters. Life isn’t a competition and doesn’t need to be.

Do not just do the research. Publish about it. Write an article. Open a website with your findings, Make a UA-cam channel.

Thanks for this video.
Its really helpful.
And the octopus part made me laugh hard.😂

You just described me from top to bottom 😢
These are the battles I'm struggling and fighting.
This video is helpful.

Sounds familiar. That is because nobody follows your way of thinking. It is hard to find someone who does.
Wonderful advice. I needed to hear this
Awesome advice! Btw, you speaking about Toastmasters brought me to join them 3 weeks ago. Great people and fun to be around.
I'm happy with my average IQ thank you very much.
This is very true
Good points and the park idea is great
Brilliant. Many thanks
Just do. Even if you can't figure out how.
The problem with this is that almost everyone believes that they have a very high IQ.
Well that’s why if they haven’t taken an official iq test then they don’t really know. But you’re right, everyone blindly assumed they do 😂
Me back to rewatching Stranger things s4 three mins later
Chronic Laziness: Yes. Welcome back, my son
Thank you , I thought I was going cra cra
What's considered high intelligence these days? Anything over 75?
In the united states it is 🤣🤣 talk about a dumbed down society
What is the minimum threshold for high IQ?
Take 5 minutes, then dismiss it... sounds really easy

First of all I need to be higher Intelligent to watch this video.
Let me try first for that. ( Just joking)
U are right in saying ( It's a liability)
How the hell do you have those eyebags all the time??? You can sleep from time to time, it is not forbidden.
6:35 that woman looks very attractive. I like her fingernails. Can you introduce her to me?
