There are hundreds of QTs from Nazis talking about how they were the smartest kids ever but the damn (((education system))) hampered them, and anyone who doesn't believe that they're hyper geniuses is simply a seething lib.
You're supposed to get over the "I was a gifted kid" stuff by the time you're 20.
It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this.
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
Interesting that their solution is never to make the school teach them at a higher education level or to make schools better funded and managed. Almost like they aren't actually smart. Smart people tend to want to learn. Actual smart can also get frustrated with schools, but more so because schools are underfunded, teachers are underpaid and don't receive adequate training, and schools are made to churn out workers, rather than proclaiming there is nothing that they can be taught.
Although smart people don't tend to believe outdated race science either so I guess that's pretty self-explanatory
I had a kid in my class in high school who was actually smart. Do you know what happened? The teacher started giving her university-level work and she got to get credit for higher education at a younger age. She became a pilot.
She never was like "Man, I'm so smart that I don't need to learn. I should be out of school and being an entrepreneur or some shit."
90% of these "I'm too smart." people are just small business tyrants that want kids leaving school early so they can get some cheap, easily exploited labor
Conventionally intelligent people are actually more likely to believe race science because they’re more likely to have fringe beliefs in general. Turns out being good at manipulating logic makes you good at deluding yourself, too.
I know this wasn’t the point of your post, which I agree with in general. Just a common way for us to slip into the mindset that rationality is a trait rather than a skill which needs to be consciously used.
social indoctrination is also a category of 'intelligence', someone who knows all the rules and how to work within them, who acts properly, is 'intelligent' but inside a racist evil society like ours the corollary is they're also racist
