Meh, all of that just sounds like you're eager for approval. You're a performance based learner. You care more about the pat on the head than the idea... None of that has to do with your level of intelligence.
I actually hate the "pat on the head" at the end. Sure, it's nice to be recognized for doing something, but I get embarassed by a lot of attention (especially IRL) If I had to choose between the pat on the head or the idea, the idea would wind hands down.
Yet the underlying theme of all your grief is performance. It's ultimately what you care about. For better or worse, it's what makes you tick. Some days you love it, other days you hate it... That doesn't define a genius, but it does generally define someone who performs well in academics.
I guess I do get upset over performance, cause I feel like if I don't perform well I'm a fraud.
I don't think you even understand intelligence. So I HIGHLY doubt you are all that gifted.
I mean, I have test scores and the fact that I'm doing work two grades ahead of my peers that would back up that I'm gifted, but why would you say that?
Because you seem to think intelligence is like this broad power that gives you the ability to learn anything. It is not. You can have a better understanding of quantum computing then anyone on the planet and still be a moron. Just because you read a book on string theory does not mean that someone who hasn't is dumber than you. If you think you can learn anything easily you are nothing more then a narcissistic idiot, because no one can.
I don't think I ever said that. What's your definition of intelligent, and stupid, by the way?
I don't think I can learn anything easily, I said I find it EASIER to learn certain things.
I'm very intelligent and I'm very careful who I display it to, If you're like me, our
gift has betrayed us in the past. Usually by deceitful, jealous little twerps.
My sister constantly takes advantage of me by getting me to do her work (although I don't know it at the time)
I'm going anon because most people would give me heat for claiming this but I'm above average intelligence and an INTJ personality type. I can agree with all of the above.
*high five* nice. If you weren't anon, I'd still hope people don't give you hear
I think the highest compliment I can give you is that I truly believe you to be as intelligent as you say you are after reading your take.
Thank you :) I love writing myTakes
@Tarvold I'm curious what you think about my advice that I gave here (in my opinion)
A fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a fool.
- William Shakespeare
One of my favorite quotes. Those who are truly intelligent know that they don't know everything and never will.
I hope u don't get too much hate from jealous idiots.
So... the sky being blue is obvious? Doesn't look like that at 4am, buddy!
Joking aside, this was really spot on.
Gifted or not, we all end up in graves down the line. So you're in no way special.
In the end, we're all just humans, destined to die
I am a teacher, and the kids termed gifted in the 20 odd years i have had in the profession have always intrigued me
Being smart doesn't mean you're gifted. No one has a special"gift" that makes then better than others.
It makes you better at something, such as being gifted at swimming or rowing, but it doesn't make you a better person, per say
Uh oh, we have yet another person attempting to shame or dismiss someone's naturally high intelligence level, to make themselves feel better.
So unnecessary.
@Prof_Don uh oh, we have a troll.
He's not trolling
I, too, am "gifted", and this was extremely relatable.
Thanks :)
My older sister is gifted too yet foe all her smarts I have to solve all her problems.
I always wondered why some people have higher intelligence than others? Whats the reason?
I don't really know, I should ask one of my neurobio friends
Maybe the answer can be found outside of the boring confines of STEM.
If we are to conclude that some facts derive from synthetic a priori concepts, then it isn't really ones ability to take in new concepts. The ability to be "smart" in a field is just the person's ability to put to use the synthetic a priori concepts and their subsequent and related principles.
Synaethesia is not a mental issue.
It's technically viewed as a disorder, as it's different from normal brain function
Yes the doc makes it out to be. It doesn' harm the brain or eyes.. does it? unless the doc told you.
So far it hasn't harmed either. I have the version where I don't see the colors, in a traditional sense, but I strongly feel like it's a certain color
It's just different brain wiring.
I know. I kinda want to donate my brain to science after I die so they can cut it open, and maybe I can help solve why synesthesia happens only in some people and what causes it to happen
there's no mystery to solve. This current society have a limited view of what normal is. The docs dont know it all.
I mean if it's a crossing of "wires" why do those wires cross to being with
I am not sure. but it doesn't matter how it works. It seems like your creative part of your brain overlaps your eye vision. Its not a curse. You just see the world a bit differently than most. Did this ability came from birth or trauma?
I dunno, I'm an incredibly clumsy person but I've had this for as long as I can remember, so I couldn't tell youn
I can relate to a lot of that. Great take.
I wish I was as amazing as you are. :)
Aww thanks
University will be better.
I'm looking forward to uni
I not need to worry about being to intelligent :)
what shape is the earth?
It's not a perfect circle, due to the Earth's rotation, so it's an ellipse with a slight bulge around the center
are you sure it's even a ball
cause at this point in my studies
the earth is not even a globe
What are you studying?
the real question is what have you been told and can you prove it?
test everything
prove the earth is a ball
spinning 1000 mph
rotating around the sun 66,000 mph
now I want you to prove it
Can I prove that to you later? I'm builiding a flame tube right now, I can explain it tonight
don't explain it prove it visually
Well, first for the earth being a sphere, there are a number of ways to test that. First of all, when we have lunar eclipses, the shadow the Earth cast's is ALWAYS a circle. If the earth wasn't a sphere, it wouldn't cast the circle shadow every time. Another way to test it would be to stick a pole in the ground at two different spots, at the same lattitude, but different latitudes, or vice-versa and record their shadows at noon, and there will be a difference in their shadows. The difference is causes by the Earth's curvature. That answers your first question
Spinning 1000 mph, that can be shown by a nifty experiment called the the Foucault pendulum, which does demonstrate that the Earth is spinning. I would suggest googling it, it's quite a cool experiment and there's one at our local science museum.
there's already a few mistakes here first thing I said (visually) I wanna see and if you can make me feel it
the lunar eclipse
you say it happens cause the earth is spinning and cast a shadow how can you prove the earth is spinning? please get me a video that's not CGI, if you want I'll help I know exactly where to look https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=njCDZWTI-xg
1) when you see a piece of land I want you to record it okay
2) than I want you measure that piece of land in miles (esitmate) nothing prefect
3) and I want you too record for 3 minutes
4) than I want you too measure the distance from where the piece of land started to where it is at the 3 minute mark
and remember the earth is spinning at 1000 mph, than tell me is the earth actually spinning at 1000 mph?
Why am I doing this for you?
are you sure this video on youtube that NASA has put up is TRUE
cause I've been told to test everything just cause NASA put it up doesn't mean it's true
does the earth really move 1000 mph?
or is it the ISS space shuttle moving 1000mph?
is the earth really moving at all?
or is it the space shuttle?
I need you too understand something just cause it's in a text book doesn't mean it's true
there's a reason I want you to do the math I've done it myself
and I will tell you straight up that video of ISS that is supposedly of space that I showed you is a lie
the earth that you see on the screen is moving about 100 miles a minute estimated
I've done the math myself now whether you believe me that's up too you
that's why i said do the math yourself so you know im not lying too you
Nope, I'm done. I am not doing a bunch of math to prove a conspieret theorist wrong, when there's plenty of evidence to indicate he's wrong
Also, the reason that the earth appears to go slower than 1000 mph is because the ISS isn't a satellite that stays in one place as the earth turns, it's going around the Earth.
okay lets assume this video is true
here is my question
what is moving the earth or satellite?
now you are gonna say both are moving
now prove both are moving and not just one
how could you prove that the earth and satellite are both moving?
the only thing you can do is trust NASA and hope there not lying it really is the only way
cause 40% of whats in school textbooks are lies and that's a proven fact just simple stuff
you can research it yourself
now as for space that's tougher to debunk but not impossible, you are young look into it yourself or pray and hope you are not being lied too by the human race lol
good luck with that
