   Originally posted by Malice I can't, I've never come across that before. TBH, my reading went way down after I went into severe depression and became suicidal 3 years ago. Really wasted a lot of my life, although there's definitely a lot of truth to the idea that you tend to learn far more in a state of intense suffering than when you're happy.
   
   Just being honest. It's not like I know everything in the world. You should understand, we both have massive issues, feel like shit all the time, have problems with ADD etc.
   
   Definitely regret not being more well read due to all the shit that happened in my life, the problems I have. On some level I just want to stop giving a fuck one day and become a pharmacological wirehead and just spend all my time in VR, let Elon Musk and his cohorts be miserable workaholics constantly exhausting themselves and not having real fun.

   Musk and cohorts are working tirelessly so that we may ascend. Elon Musk is a Techpriest Enginseer of the highest order.

   I mean, realistically, you have to accept that in terms of probability you're not some potential nobel prize winner revolutionary. If you don't do it, they would probably hire someone else to do so. Just accept it and kick back, you're probably delusional if you think you're going to change the world, make a significant impact.

   A company, city, neighborhood, academia etc. Things are just so specialized, there are fundamental factors of human nature and society you won't change, even as president you won't make all that much of a difference.
   
   Now, people like Elon Musk and Peter Thiel, some of the rare genuine super-geniuses, yes, but everyone else, no.

   And I am grateful for them. I'm just too fucking lazy and don't care enough.
   
   Can't someone else do it? I don't owe society/humanity shit. Even if I was the smartest person on Earth, if I wanted to ride out my days just being high on opioids all the time I would do it.

   Research psychometrics if you're really interested. I'm not going to baby you through it.

   
   Do you think certain disorders like ADHD can cause an intelligent child to score badly on an IQ test?
