You A Gifted?

Why would you bother doing that? If you were “gifted” in any sense that corresponds to “intelligent,” you’d immediately understand that you were indulging in the (very stupid) fallacy of the Appeal To Authority. We don’t really care whether some random Ph. D. (some of the goofiest people I’ve ever met have Ph. Ds) in some unspecified field endorses your random Google link.

What you’ve posted is a list of random traits, some of which would be impossible to discern or prove objectively, which correlate loosely, if with anything, with some form of high-functioning autism, and chosen to re-title this as “gifted.” Fine, I guess you can abuse English however you want.

The bigger point is: who cares? Of what interest to anyone would your “gifted” status be other than to make you feel falsely superior to other people or to explain your very probable failures in other aspects of your life? I’m Tall. I’m Smart. I’m Handsome. I’ve never seen a thread with that as its theme (or, I’m Tall, anyone else Tall?) achieving one GD useful thing. It’s more like – okay, if you say so.

I really hope the mods put this to a merciful death. S__t-stirring by newbie posters is not generally given so much tolerance . . . .

But it isn’t your private blog. Closing thread.
