because skeptics don’t believe stuff anyway.

Somebody once called me a sceptic…but I didn’t believe them.

@lekatt

When I went to high school, IQ tests were given to each student. The scores were supposed to be super secret, but my teachers would tell me my level of work was far below the level of my IQ. I joined the Navy while still in school and went to boot camp during the summer months. I was called into the Captain’s office so he could “look” at me. He told me he had never seen a score as high as mine on the Navy entrance exam.

I have read more than 3000 non-fiction books on the human condition called life. Philosophy, psychology, theology, anthropology, etc. Passing through this much data I have learned not to sweat the small stuff. I look for patterns, flows, and waves now. When people read what I write I get one of two responses. They think I am some kind of super intelligent guru or they think I am some kind of super ignorant toadstool. I believe this happens because I am truly an independent thinker, not one that just talks about it.

sooo…your point is…your an underachiever who needs discipline in your life and has alot of spare time to skim textbooks? I am ashamed that my slightly sub-genius brain cannot aspire to the understanding of the universe that only lekatt posesses. It seems as though the fight against ignorance would be over is all of us sub-geniuses would kill ourselves and let lekatt take over. If you need me…I’ll be in the garage sucking on my car’s exhaust pipe. I mourn for this thread…it could have been so much more.

I do not think this word means what you think it means. And, it’s subgenii - those who are genius in the Under Things.

So do I. I started it. Instead, I’ve been hijacked by an underrecognized megalomaniac. Feh.

You expected better? I’m afraid I didn’t, since the OP started in such inflammatory terms and presented a future you “foresaw” but which is unlikely. Had it started with paragraph six you might’ve stimulated the discussion you sought. That’s not saying it would not be hijacked, though. That was probably inevitable.
