Smart people are not given any respect but are expected to have all the solutions and take all the blame if their ideas donāt work (no one else thought of anything).
I have an as advanced degree but I donāt act like it because thereās no social benefit. Regular people think youāre snooty and other academics just want to bicker about pedantic stuff.

Yeah, I figured this out a while back. I used to be the employee who would do everything plus things outside of the job description. Meanwhile, I had a lot of “incompetent” coworkers who could barely do the bare minimum to keep their job. The thing is, these people generally made more money than me, but also seemed to not get any consequences for being bad at their job, as well as a lighter workload. I used to think I was surrounded by idiots and had to pick up their slack. But I was indeed the idiot for showing competence and doing extra work for no increased pay.

The level beyond that is reclusiveness, utter loneliness, seeing too many patterns & trends, and being able to connect-the-dots so well…that your everyday life feels like you are watching raw code in The Matrix. You arrive at this level because the pretending got too difficult and laborious.

I’m curious when and why it became a negative to be intelligent. So many in this country think that because we have a strong military that it’s ok to be stupid. Every year this country falls further and further behind the rest of the world in education. Now we have a President who not only endorses this idea, but personifies it. Knowledge is power. Being stupid and having a gun, isn’t the same thing.

On 1 or 2 things. Pretty sure 90% of people that say they can’t cook just don’t want to, but if you can’t cook, can’t do dishes, can’t clean then you’re just kinda being a freeloading dick and not being smart.

Working too hard will only lead you to way too much work. Gotta be quiet when it matters, especially for yourself.
