I end up scratching my head a lot. I'm smart, but not that smart. I just look into things. It's mind boggling at first when you realize even the high IQ ppl have no fucking clue what is going on around them. I'm a humble person, and don't like to assume I'm right, but when I talk to the high ups where I work (executives in an 11 figure outfit) and all they can do is parrot MSM narratives...well, it's makes me realize that engaging in reality is now the counterculture. Orwell was right with the whole bit about telling the truth being a revolutionary act.
You're right about a lot. I'm smart, with two degrees and being a conservative librarian, it blows my mind how they try to explain away fake news as being something other than MSM. I am inudated with lefties in my profession and have to tread lightly. However, they are oblivious to all the agenda spewing MSM narratives. I will say it's hard to red pill librarians. My wife is one as well as refuses to see the fraud. However, she also is one who would rather not go down rabbit holes and likes being naive.
I truly believe that those high IQ people are too smart for their own good. Not to mention people who have high IQ don't necessarily have high IQ street smarts. I think that's where i differ. I am smart but more real world street smarts than book.smart. not to mention I question everything.
I think the 'question everything' part is the key. It's like this happens, and then that happens, and then something else happens. They don't look at things cohesively, or who might benefit from specific actions and narratives. It's just hard for me. I am always skeptical about whether I'm right or not and that plays right into the normies hands too, because they are quite certain they are correct: the media and their social conditioning tells them every minute of every day that they are right. It plays hell with my mental health.
Your mental health and mine as well. But it keeps me going. I refuse to lay down as I want justice! Whether it's 9/11, the Egyptian Pyramids (way older than stated) or this. I want the truth. And maybe I can't handle the truth, but I'd still want it all out in the open for everyone to decide for themselves.
Depends where you score high. I was tested when I was pretty young. I scored 153 verbal IQ but non verbal I was 129. I personally think the non verbal should have been lower because I just can't algebra or math in general lol. I was the only kid in gifted, AP English and history but remedial math. Then again, "the masses are asses." Some of us come right out of the gate questioning things but most fall in line with the rest.
I'm similar. I found out a few years ago I was donor conceived. My bio father is a doctor, and my mom has a doctoral degree. I think my donor probably gives me the high verbal IQ, but my spatial intelligence is probably average or below average. I also grew up in a social environment where a lot of high brow conversations took place, but where I was taught to question narratives about everything. A lot of family is not "educated" in the traditional sense, which over time I've come to understand as a positive. However, being a skeptic about everything makes it hard to maintain social relationships, so I pretty much just gave up; no one wants to play the game on this level, or very few.
Most people don't want to talk about what's really going on, getting into the facts and details. It's mainly MSM political talking points or Netflix shows.

I think its easy for high iq people to lie to themselves or find a way to justify anything they observe.
