  • The intellectually gifted (IQ 126+) are, by some interpretation, so different from the broad population as to be considered outliers.
    I found that it was incredibly easy to conceptualize metaphysical and metalogical concepts. Logic, in my mind is agile and bendable. Even the craziest concepts backed by reasoning are there if you look for it. There is reasoning for everything. This tends to make people feel uncomfortable even though an idea is an idea, there is no emotion tied to it.

    I have a lot of dumb ideas. I tend to write them down and then revisit them from time to time. Sometimes, the world and/or my own understanding of it has moved enough to where it can now be taken to a new place. If you’d like to talk, I’d love to hear from you.
    Enjoy!

      School is utter bullshit btw. So i agree. I noticed that i learned the same stuff in middle school but they just added an extra zero every year in math class so it became pretty boring real quick. I never wanted to learn how to read cause i already could read. They always thought i was lazy but as they started to test me on my reading they quickly noticed that i could read and understand better than kids normally can that age. This story is when i was 4 to 6 years old. Very helpfull thing that i have a huge memory storage in my head

    I'm aware I am intelligent and also have ADHD which has contributed to academic underachievement. I find social situations difficult because most people want to do 'small talk' and I love talking about a subject deeply. I can emulate the more typical way of socialising, but it's exhausting and I feel like I'm masking and not being my authentic self. Above average intelligent can certainly correlate with poor mental health.

      why not try making the act of interacting with other people - although uncomfortable or meaningless at first - an opportunity to test your intelligence by simply engaging and squeezing everything you can out of any subject possible, either that being trivia, gossip, the mundane - or any other topic the other person might bring up?

    Then in the last few years I did some IQ tests, the results came back from 136 to 149, and I feel like i've wasted so many years being gaslighted and bullied into acting dumb.

      The replies you’ve gotten so far, are unrealistic. To me at least. It’s impossible to “do your own thing” unless a miracle happens (which is unlikely). The problem might be the “attitude problem” which you’ve mentioned. I believe, that you can do so much more with people supporting you and being by your side - and to do that you need to treat them well and try to maybe control your attitude. I’m sorry you grew up in such a toxic and harmful environment. Have a nice day/evening!

    Sometimes I wish that I could sit every 15yr old struggling with acceptance down & explain to them that they are destined to become vastly more interesting & well-rounded people than those who shun them socially as teenagers. Those "popular" kids are having their peak experience in life now. In just a few short years, they will find themselves in unfulfilling careers & loveless marriages, raising a brood of mediocre offspring, & never doing anything remarkable, or experiencing all that life & the world around them really has to offer. Too concerned with how they appear to others, feeling the need to be "normal" & fit in, afraid of treading on unfamiliar ground, trying new things, even contemplating "radical" ideas, they will play it safe & go on doing what is expected of them, believing what the majority believes, & never venture too far outside the lines. High school will be the pinnacle of their lives. Let them have it. It will likely be the last time they genuinely feel good about themselves.
    You, however, have not yet begun to blossom into the amazing person you are going to be. Numbed to what others think by years of being called a weirdo, nerd, freak or crazy person, as a young adult you won't hesitate to try new things, go to exotic places, consider radical ideas. As most "weird" kids in school are highly intelligent, & find joy in learning, you will continue to pick up new ideas, more information about the world you live in & the people who inhabit it. You will follow your passions, rather than falling In line. You will continue to grow & evolve for the rest of your life, your life will be far more fulfilling & filled with a far greater variety of experiences, & you will be much happier in the long run. You will form your self-esteem by referring to your experiences & accomplishments, not from the opinions of others. People will be drawn to you because you will be interesting, provide unique insight, & will be less dogmatic & more open-minded to the views of others. the relationships you form later in life will be stronger & healthier because they will be based on who you are, not some facade you put up in order to fit in & be popular, & they will be with other people with whom you have more in common, those who have also taken the road less travelled & continued to evolve as human beings, people you never would have encountered as a "popular" kid, sticking to the relative safety of conformity & being "normal." In short, you will be more well-rounded, psychologically sound, pleasant to be around & autonomous, & you will have healthier relationships & more productive interactions with the people around you. You'll have a better life. Those "popular" kids who taunt & shun you now, will envy you & the life you have, in just a few short years.
    Yeah, sometimes I wish I could do that, assure all the outsider kids in the world that this angst they are experiencing is only temporary, & in due time they will be the ones whose company & friendship people will seek out. But then I remember that this angst, this emotional pain that they are going through is critical to the process. Without it, they would not go out into the World as fearless vanguards. To take away that pain would alter the outcome. So I look back on the amazing life I've had, with all it's ups & downs, filled with wonder & disappointment & joy & pain, appreciate the dynamics of it all, & keep that insight to myself, leaving the "weird" kids to suffer through it, knowing they'll be glad they didn't know.

    In my opinion it is smart enough to conceal your intellect with ordinary people and make them friends in order to not be exluded socially. When you meet someone who is similar to you, let them know, so that you could trully connect with them. Concealment is the best tactics.

      What the fuck do you people expect? You are part of like 3% of the population or less the higher it goes.
      Deny it all you want about "muh openess to ideas" and other shit, you are arrogant as fuck and stuck in a mindset of "everyone is so slow so I must feel bad".
      My friend is 130 IQ verified, I'm 85-90 IQ "semi" verified, we still get on well as friends and he's not bored out of his skull because he has learned the art of not taking shit so seriously and be such a whining hardass.
      He does not go out of his way to whine about it internally. He takes it as a vacation from being a braingeek all the time when I visit, and we simply do what we think is fun. Relax a fucking bit and stop being such a "woe is me".
      He used to be like you people btw, until he got a reality check from a "inferior" person like me, that despite all the smarts of the world, a possible fist to the face for being a douchebag is not really a smart outcome, and I told him as much when he did the typical "im very smart" routine. I'm a practical person, I think slowly, and by god I wish I was as intelligent as you people because I'd make proper use of it instead of sulking, but it is what it is and I can't change that. So I stopped trying to change a unchangeable part and learned to live with it.
      I swear you intelligent people are so intelligent it's as if you wrap around back to mental retardation territory sometimes. Take a fucking vacation and just have some fun in life, it does not always need to be logical either. Just fucking do it.
      Here, lemme put it into a checklist:
      1. Stop taking shit so seriously.
      2. Stop expecting the world to change, it wont.
      3. Stop taking shit so seriously.
      4. Stop expecting the world to change, it wont.
      5. Stop taking shit to seriously.
      6. C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!

The weirdest thing, my girlfriend of the time was more upset about our smart friend not getting in, and that I must have just got lucky. Always a pleasure having definitive proof of your problem solving abilities (which is all intelligence really seems to be) outright denied to your face. Reminds me of how many people in high-school used to bully me for being dumb (Though they were more likely to call me retarded, which as mentioned, being an undiagnosed Autistic at the time, stung especially) and how utterly floored they all were when I passed every single exam at above the C grade. in other words, even if it leads to others calling you egotistical or conceited, you have to ignore those who discredit you, and not be afraid to fight off those who would stand in your way, since they're usually just doing it out of fear that you can threaten their position socially.
    Well that's my take at least- hope this helps someone else out there :)

      There's something called 'regression to the norm' which means that highly intelligent people breeding with each other would sometimes produce children of average or below average intelligence. This keeps the basis of society varied and means that you will still get the higher thinkers but also the doers and craftsmen and other types of workers you need to make society (as it is currently) function. Can't have all ivory tower thinkers or average people - society thrives on difference.

    This sounded a lot like you were describing my life, and you even used my name, many of the events and benchmarks that you mentioned happened in my life as well. This was weird because so much of what you described were things that happened to me. I was tested when I was in second grade, an IQ test, which the results were never revealed to me. The school district was interested in sending me to a special school where I could learn at my own pace, but instead, they just sent me to a different school, where I was isolated from my friends, and had difficulty fitting in, and I also had to deal with bullying.
    I’m much older now, but I don’t look my age. And I am still trying to feed my appetite for knowledge.

It often offers a more diverse environment where you're more likely to find like-minded people and form genuine friendships.

He would be able to solve equations and problems literally as they were being said, and according to him, he was stating the most efficient way to find the correct answer (which he was).
    He wasn't the most sociable of people. Most people thought he was wired weirdly, but he was good company, unknowingly funny at times. But he really struggled with his life. He would always say he couldn't sleep or could relax because he was always thinking and couldn't stop. He committed suicide his first year out of secondary school. And I always feel as though I could have done more, maybe got help from people for him.
    Always ask how intelligent people are doing. My friend had real demons, and I'll never forget the struggle he went through.

The contemporary ideologies are the product of a profoundly stupid few who can read fancy philosophy books but are unable to understand their biases and lack of healthy moral fibre, which prevents them from understanding Ideas (Plato, yes). But, hey, Plato and Kant are not in fashion and they will never be in fashion. It is hopeless. Through and through.

      You will discover the answer to these questions later, I suspect. Here are some quotes for you:
      "“For the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountains of ignorance, he is about to conquer the highest peak; as he pulls himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries.”
      "The first sip from the cup of natural science makes one an atheist, but at the bottom of the cup, God awaits."
      At first it seems there is no point. Later you discover, there need BE no "point". That is a narcissistic concept. As for your JIA/RA, I can relate. I have had chronic debilitating bodywide pain and nerve damage and pain since I was 15 years old. It crippled me for many years. I am better finally, but only on medication can I be well. For many years, I did not want to continue living. Chronic pain is something you can only understand if you've experienced it.
      I am sorry you are suffering. It DOES get easier to cope, but only with the right state of mind. For people like us, state of mind and the ability to control one's mental landscape and habits is essential. I finally found inner peace and an end to depression at age 30.

It was an adult IQ test. So the results were likely north of 170. I Sincerely hope the results were hidden somewhere. I don’t want it going anywhere. If I am working in the future, i want this result supressed.

    The purpose of intelligence is to find unconditioned love.
    The purpose of love is to realize the unborn wisdom within.
    Rumi knew this. The Buddha knew this. Jesus knew this. Lao Tzu knew this.
    How did they know this? Through realizing the amazing gift that had been given to them by being born human. With the faculties and a mind of a human they set out using their precious short time in this world to utilize their human abilities to the fullest. Thus they wasted no time on distractions but found ways to focus their human resources in the transformative process of actualizing the human potential of awakening.
    They discovered that unconditional love is no other than unborn wisdom that knows and is aware of everything. They knew that primordial wisdom manifest itself as love continuously and effortlessly.

I also know what happens if you leave Plato's cave as it were, because I had an awakening, so I know more about the ego than most people, I have also studied the ego for many years. This obviously lead me to biases, biases is the main element that reduces effective intelligence, tons of biases are related to the ego. Now obviously I would be labeled a nutter BUT that's group consensus bias again, so many people get their confidence from belonging to a group, an example is atheism. Fact is that atheism have two elements that reduce it, first, emotion, science is not Spock, Spock is a pipe dream, this rarely exist, instead you have tons of people ruled by their emotions. second, despite people claiming ownership of the definition of words, the word "faith" is not a religion exclusive, its something that is easily understood considering most scientific theories have been refuted, now theories can be modified and enhanced and thus more accurate to the point of axiomatic, but that doesn't change that it often is faith, and so it shares ego related bias same way as religion does. my last point, this is one of the reason why people don't communicate on UA-cam because it looks ridiculous writing long text xD, I just like to use my brain whenever I wake up, so that's why I wrote this , you don't need to reply

      It's okay to like being alone, but feeling lonely and struggling with depression is something entirely different, and it's important to address these feelings. Sometimes, finding a community or group with similar interests can provide a sense of belonging and understanding. Perhaps engaging with others who share your passion for psychology, sociology, or politics could open up new avenues for connection.
      You're still in your early 20s, which is a time of a lot of change and growth. It's never too late to find your place and people with whom you resonate.

    As a young child, I have learned to talk at 2 years, with the vocabulary approaching that of an educated adult. I learned to read at 3 or 4? My father was always reading to me when I was a baby, mostly Russian poetry but some science books too, and I memorized many many poems when I was a young child, and was able to recite them perfectly. My father was always taking me to the library from a young age, and I was reading books there. I always felt isolated in American school, because I was an immigrant from another country. I had no real friends of my peers. Only enemies. I was abused in multiple different schools, and would often get into fights. And so the public school was a traumatic experience for me. My only solace was at the library, where my dad was taking me almost every day. I grew up in the early 2000s on books, not on movies or video games. And so the rift between me and my peers grew immensely, to the point that I couldn't even keep a conversation with these people. I wanted to talk about history, philosophy, science, anything that I've read about in books. But these kids only wanted to talk about video games, or movies, or celebrities. And to this day, I cannot find anything in common with the Gen Z people. Because my mind is in a whole another world. When I first got a computer and internet at the age of 14, I used to to find free PDFs books to read, articles to read, documentaries on UA-cam to watch. So I learned even more. And I have never used the internet for porn or online video games or tiktok, or whatever the plebs are into. Now I took an IQ test and my IQ score is 173. I don't know, maybe it is because I read a lot of books as a kid. Anyway I have learned so much about the world, how awful it really is, all the social problems, conspiracy theories, and documentaries, that I have come to hate the world. Not only because I have been mistreated, but because this world is inherently flawed beyond repair. Because the world is unpleasant, full of stupid, dumb, greedy, creepy, annoying, dishonest, evil, and arrogant people. And many of them are in positions of power. Other than my father, I have never had any truly close friends. But I've had plenty of enemies, people who wanted to beat me and injure me and kill me. For years I have lived in fear, but now I have detached myself from the world completely, and I no longer fear. I do not care about this planet any more, nor about the material existence itself, other than as a temporary stop for my immortal soul in it's journey of reincarnation into the trillions of other worlds all over the multiverse. I use this world, and this life, only for the accumulation of knowledge and wisdom, nothing more. Other than reading and learning, studying and practicing, nothing else makes me feel alive in this world. Everything is either boring, stupid, or morally horrible and rotten to the core. What else is there to live for? Maybe in my future life, in some other world, as has been depicted in the isekai anime, I will find a more fitting place for me? I surely do hope so.

    intelligent people usually feel isolated not due to his inteligence, but because he labels himself, or has been labeled, as an intelect. If he labeled himself more often as anyone else around himself, and learned to enjoy the irrationality around him, he'd feel less alone. It takes dropping the ego for awhile, meaning letting go of your labels, and letting go of your isolation at times to let go and enjoy the experience over the concepts your mind may be telling you at times you do anything. it's also about learning to be quiet about what you know, so you can learn to interact with other's lesser thinking than yourself.

      hey thanks! I am now aware of the things I missed/overlapped. This video was a "comeback" one - as I took a break from creating video content. I am trying to improve the editing with each video I upload. Here's the latest shorty, if you wanna check it out of course: ua-cam.com/video/F0UF9oKVGT4/v-deo.html
      Cheers!

      Ideas in any presentation SHOULD be repeated. Revisited. That is part of a cohesive presentation, not a flaw. Very few spelling mistakes, and the music is far more tolerable than thousands of other videos I have seen.

      I didn’t think there was any redundancy at all and the music was super interesting but not overpowering.
      My opinion.

    Do Smart People struggle with life. I think Smart People do well in life. They tend to be independent which means they don't need others so they don't go out seeking people to be friends because they are fine on their own.

      That's true. Evvudence show that smart people are actually quite happy.

    I stopped struggling with socialisation in Primary School when I brought along my Nintendo Gameboy Advance or DS (and 3DS in high school). I have Asperger's and socialisation is a situation where I can get uncomfortable on topics I'm not fond of.

      What was the procedure to get an Asperger's diagnosis?

      @@robertus55 It's all about Autism Spectrum Disorder these days! Back in 2000-2013, it existed and social anxiety and other way of processing information (process mine visually and by simple military drill like instructions) and obsession to a specific topic (Pokemon is usually one of them). People will notice your Asperger's and be uncomfortable by it or pick on you to make things worse than they actually are. Triggers and sensitivities to texture, brightness or loudness of noise can help the diagnosis.

    Getting diagnosed for the first time this month, at the age of 27
    Thought I’m stupid my entire life…never done an IQ test…unfortunately my success has never been recognized by my parents, whom are narcissists… so am I, with some psychopathic tendencies…but, I was loved and praised my entire childhood till 9 yo by my grandparents with whom I lived at the time. Shortly put. I praise the Empathy with intelligence but I hate bullies and chit chat people whom I used to call “trash without personal interests in life”, and all that because my grandfather hated similar people, especially drunks on the streets, no pity towards lazy! Mainly because they seek for an easy way to deal with life instead of confronting it… and each of us falls into a pit of pity at some point of life…
    Basically I’ve been trying to “blossom” on my own without parental guidance, but its been HELL to find someone with whom you can discuss LIFE, feel empathy and just enjoy yourself for whom you actually are, instead of what you want to be… especially when you can read people by their facial expressions and voice tone to detect any bullshit they are trying to pull on you; insecurities of being used while you’re trying to compete in a healthy way…
    P.S. I’ve always wondered. How can an intellectual person think he/she is stupid?
    Well… now I know how… installation of insecurities by the loved ones…

    If you have to state that you're intelligent, you must be far from one.

    We do know some of those genes. They are genes usually linked to disability, but only when they are hyper/hypomethylated, or have aberrant acetylation patterns.
    You call them mutans, but they are what people should be, before society damaged or dumbed them down; epigenetic drift due to environmental exposures.
    The genes involved in Autism seem to be involved in superior Choline and Cholesterol metabolism.
    The APOE4 gene linked to Alzheimer's is linked to higher IQ.
    Genes linked to Schizophrenia are linked to artistic and engineering capability; spatial intelligence.
    When expressed in an aberrant fashion, they become disability.
