Intelligence is a gift. A condescending attitude is earned.

[edit] eh, I didn't like how dickish that sounded.

I think you should just chill out man. And quit being so full of yourself. You handicap yourself when you put down other people (which, essentially, you're doing when you call everyone fucking stupid) because you refuse to look at a situation the same way as someone else and think they're dumb when they might have a much better reasoning than you. That's narrowminded and dumb in my opinion. But yeah, just chill bro

btw, this blog post made me laugh. just throwing that out there.
i love you

Wikipedia. (read it all)

You know, this part made me laugh:

Regardless of how pervasive the phenomenon is, it is clear from Dunning's and others' work that many Americans, at least sometimes and under some conditions, have a tendency to inflate their worth. It is interesting, therefore, to see the phenomenon's mirror opposite in another culture. In research comparing North American and East Asian self-assessments, Heine of the University of British Columbia finds that East Asians tend to underestimate their abilities, with an aim toward improving the self and getting along with others.

It's disgustingly true.


FUCK! I HATE being the arrogant know-it-all that I am! I wish I was East Asian so I could be smart and humble.
I guess we know why Koreans rock at SC2 now, though.


A story comes to mind regarding this mentality. The story goes like this:

A university professor went to visit a famous Zen master. While the master quietly served tea, the professor talked about Zen. The master poured the visitor's cup to the brim, and then kept pouring. The professor watched the overflowing cup until he could no longer restrain himself. "It's overfull! No more will go in!" the professor blurted. "You are like this cup," the master replied, "How can I show you Zen unless you first empty your cup."

You need to take several deep breaths and calm down.

Also, get better taste in Pokemon, seriously. Did the in-game caves teach you nothing??

Great blog! Good things - don't let go of that overconfidence. What people aren't telling you about the Dunning-Kruger effect is that it can fool people into putting you into positions of authority. With any luck you could be the pointy haired boss to any of the haters in this thread.

Bad - yeah, you probably aren't as smart as you think. If you were really smart your guidance counselor wouldn't have been so eager to steer you towards Earth Science (hint, don't put that on your resume). You might actually be smarter than your teachers, but sadly you'd be surprised how many smart people weren't enticed into the glamorous world of teaching high school. If you find any gems at your high school, then they are awesome and they are actually sacrificing a lot in the hopes of making a difference in your life

TL;DR - keep writing, stay away from science, gl hf.

So what makes you smart when everyone else isn't? Sorry man, you aren't special. And sorry to say, that SAT score isn't that impressive either. I have you beat by 200 points. And I'm not anyone special. There's always a bigger fish man. Always someone smarter, someone better. And you should try and remember that every time you look down on those around you. I could look down on you. And millions of others could look down on me. Get over yourself and look at things in perspective.

On a side note, SATs aren't really about intelligence, and you should come up with a better indicator of personal worth.

How can you supposedly be so smart and only get a B? I don't particularly consider myself smart and the worst I ever did without trying win high school as an 86, which was an A-. I always got top 1 or 2 in every class I took without trying or ever having any homework to do at home. High school's a joke. That said, once you get to university, you wind up feeling completely average because everyone else in your classes is just as smart.

Here's some news for you. For the problems that you describe, university/colleges are worse. Most of your teachers don't give a crap about you and are only teaching because it's a requirement to keep the grant money to further their research. The highly regarded teachers are highly regarded because of their publications & research, not because they know what the heck they're doing in a classroom. The ones with the doctorates are usually worse teachers than the ones without it. The ones that do care about teaching don't last long because they're putting their efforts towards that instead of publishing and so they wind up getting sacked after a couple of years.

One of the first things you realize when you get out into the "real world" is that you really don't know much of anything and that what little I do know is pretty specialized with a very narrow scope. Looking back, school feels like it's just there to make you learn how to learn and to give you the foundation on which you'll build a career. To put it metaphorically, the entirety of kindergarten through college is a microcosm in which they're teaching you the basics like writing & counting so that you're ready to learn what you'll actually need for the rest of your education

As Socrates once said... "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know.".

But i'm really smart. I got a 1930 on my most recent SAT. I only know one other person at my school who got a higher score, and she did better on the writing, but without writing, I beat her by a mile because life doesn't require writing.

I don't know what to say man LOLLLLLLL, if you came anywhere near my school you would be instantly humbled. Don't tell me life doesn't need writing, that was the only section I got 800 on .

You would have been better off sticking with one of the starting 3. Squirtle > Bulbasaur > Charmander in order of awesomeness. Maybe you wouldn't be so salty if you just stuck with one of them. Just saying.
