>tfw school councelors tell you that you're mentally ill for being "gifted" yet struggling in academics but really you're mentally ill for not having a choice between having a life or slaving it away for Israel

i knew gifted persons. they have anger issues. why is that? One was schizo. Both never really did anything with their high iq. One wanted to become a radio host. Wtf?

If you're told by your school you're really smart, and your peers are not like you, and you have special classes full of other gifted kids. WHy not study rocket science or computer science?

Almost makes me believe iq doesn't mean anything. An average iq person could accomplish something great, but it would take great effort on their side.

Good points. Smartest dude I ever knew just played Dungeons & Dragons as well as other board games all the time. Really socially well equipped too, yet hardly spoke to anyone in school but me.
>Almost makes me believe iq doesn't mean anything
Regardless of little anecdotes, IQ means a fucking lot. Look into sociology even a little bit, and, if you have any sense, you realize IQ provides more telling sociological data than virtually any other measure.
>An average iq person could accomplish something great, but it would take great effort on their side.
True, I bet it happens a lot. For example, despite the many correlations IQ has with many statistics, income isn't one them. The cutoff for where IQ somewhat matters for income cuts off way sooner than most would think.

>If you're told by your school you're really smart, and your peers are not like you, and you have special classes full of other gifted kids. WHy not study rocket science or computer science?
I don't know about that. But, when you're told by your school that you're really smart, and then told there's something wrong with you for not working at the speed of other non-gifted students let alone gifted students for years, it really fucks with your head. I've only recently mostly gotten over debilitating inferiority complexes due to knowledge gained mostly through image boards giving me an actual spine.

The speed at which your mind operates isn't everything. You can excel in one category and fail in another. I was in G&T classes since 5th grade w/an IQ of 130+ and took many college courses in HS, and went to (at the time) the 3rd best school in the country for computer science, yet I'm a fuck-up and diagnosed mentally ill.

My state has a double gifted program that I was in. Gifted classes were 1 year advanced in math and science while we were 2. Many of us went to a college after middle school to do high school and undergrad simultaneously. I don't know how anyone else turned out because I've never had any social media or interest in other people so I can only speak for myself. I went through grad school and got a job overseas involving a lot of stupid fucking meetings and sleepless international travel. Eventually, I quit. We are all living irl idiocracy. I fucking hate everything. That makes me one of the few sane people left on earth. Might as well kms with cancer and enjoy every last moment of it.

I remember doing high school math exercises in grade school along with a dozen other selected students in a school program alongside actual schoolwork, diving in head first and having to figure it all out ourselves without the use of any textbooks or real assistance. That was the last time I was able to call myself academically bright, I'm pretty much an idiot nowadays

There is absolutely zero (0) leadership for them. If you are not content to turn off your brain and you actually want to work on yourself you'll spend the first 20 or so years of your life locked in a room where your time is intentionally being wasted by totally incompetent and utterly misguided authority figures who are fully supported by everyone around you.

And what is this line of thought where "an intelligent person must just get a better degree and earn more than other people because that is the measure of success, if I was more intelligent I would just enjoy my easy life and earn more with a better degree so intelligent people must also want this so I judge them for it"?

IQ a shit, don't make it about IQ either.
