Gifted kids aren't necessarily smarter than anyone else. They just develop their adult levels of intelligence faster than normal. So there is no guarantee that the amount they will be able to maintain that performance gap going forward. Indeed, they are likely to do worse as they never had to develop the skills to do well in school. So once school gets hard enough for them to need those skills they don't have them.

Yeah, the less stupid you are, the more you realize how stupid you really are.

Boy I sure wish I had a 6 hr video explaining the incredibly racist origins of the Bell curve which has no value at all scientifically speaking, perhaps even by a Liverpudlian narrator of sorts

IQ is bullshit. The gifted kids were just the kids that had supportive homelives

Human intelligence definitely varies. People in remedial education are not there just because they have poor home lives.

Show this comic to 100 people and almost all will think they’re in the blue zone.

This is like those ADHD memes which just list every one of life’s inconveniences or challenges as some kind of “symptom.”

Everyone has these feelings, it’s not a curse, it’s just life.

Can you not try to drag ppl with ADHD thru the mud? Odds are you really don't know what you're talking about.
