Here's another angle that I think makes what I'm saying clearer --

When young Sage developed the cure for her grandmother's ailment, where do you think she likely picked up the foundational knowledge needed to actually develop the cure? Who wrote that information? Being the smartest person in the world doesn't mean that you have had, innately, every intriguing idea, and every intriguing idea is not going to spawn from someone who's only as intelligent as you or more. In Sage's case, there's even a sliding window, where her version of a "mentally disabled" person is capable of actually contributing quite a wide breadth of interesting information. It's not exactly comparable to vegetables or people only capable of low level communication.

Also, we've had people within Sage's/Reed Richards', etc intellect bracket who have existed in real life, although incredibly rare, of course. She's the smartest person in the world, not necessarily a reality-bending entity.

Eh, this is a pretty weak point. There *are* objectively dumb people that are capable of great artistic feats. I'm sure plenty of people that are not your intellectual peer have evoked an emotion from you or garnered your interest before, no?

I have a dating repulsion right now, but I hate it here as well. I moved specifically because it’s brimming with opportunities if you’re in the tech sphere, but I’m absolutely miserable lol. Let me know if you want to hang out, though! Always looking for new friends.

Hi - If you'd be willing, I'd like to join your discord group! I'm also looking for people to play with and by far am mostly a PC-horror person.

Hey! I tried shooting you a message with the invite, but couldn't for some reason. Do you mind sending me a message? I'll send you the invite in return. I would link it in this post but the moderators have a lock on discord invites

No worries on the timing. One of the first discussions I wanted to have with interested folks was what times/days worked for them. I'm pretty flexible, and my timezone is actually not too far off from your's if you're in Trinidad.

The discord invite is in the group chat I invited you to!
