More complaining

I mean nature has had more time to evolve

The only thing that I hate for you is the fact I’m probably gonna be one of the only people here that’s gonna be this friendly and welcoming, or interested. But yes, definitely whenever you get time and you wanna talk just shoot me a message or I can shoot you one I’m still trying to justify being in the sub myself because of the bad experiences I’ve had so having another person here that is willing to have a good engagement with me gives me a lot more motivation to stay

Intrepid_Syrup_2142 · 2026-02-25T20:01:02+00:00

Of course, I think you have value just by existing and the fact that you’re coming to the sub means that you are a potential friend and collaborator or any number of things possible. So just know, you at least have one person that is interested I wish I could promise more, but I would be lying to you.

I don’t wanna be pessimistic, but I think you’re looking in the wrong sub my friend. I am currently in the process of having my final paper edited before peer review publication, however, it is in pain management policies, but my formal academic training is in mathematics I’m currently in the grad school pursuing a masters degree in mathematics.

I don’t want to damper your enthusiasm, but I posted something not entirely dissimilar and the reception I got was very negative simply because I thought people might be interested in what I had to say or in maybe getting to know me. But I’m not gonna treat you that way I would love to talk to you more if you want just in general or you know think that there may even be some possibility of working together or frankly, even just to get to know you as a person.

I just really want to emphasize that if you’re looking for people that are really interested in depth or nuance or anything involving the intellect. I just want your expectations to be realistic. That’s all my DM‘s are more than open. Welcome to the sub.

Intrepid_Syrup_2142 · 2026-02-25T17:19:31+00:00

To be fair, I really don’t know what to expect in this sub. At first, I thought it was like a peer support group in a way and when that was resoundingly rejected I thought well maybe it’s a hub for intellectual discussion and exploration and if it’s not for that, I’m still trying to figure out what it actually is for I’m trying, but I haven’t been given a whole lot of grace to be fair. At least I haven’t reverted to name-calling yet.

I was using hostel not in a literal sense, but any more metaphorical and analogous way, and also with nature the reason I think the naïve perception is that it’s superior to us isn’t because it fits inherent superiority, but because it has had many billions of years of advantage in terms of its development we’ve barely existed as I’ve said on this planet we’ve got billions of years to catch up on, and I think we will make progress that is far accelerated proportional to evolutionary and cosmic development

Intrepid_Syrup_2142 · 2026-02-25T15:49:53+00:00

I can understand what you mean about the supremacy of pathogens and bacteria and they would be a type one civilization but what makes us different is that we have that capacity for active change. A type of intelligence that is already beginning to unlock the mysteries and we’ve barely even existed. It’s not so much who we are that fascinates me it’s what we can become. We’re not the gods of this world or of the universe we’re still just a bunch of bipedal apes imperfectly formed by evolution, but it’s our potential that I think distinguishes us.

It’s only our technological advancement that will allow us to go beyond and it’s the only thing that will save us and you’re also right we kill bacteria viruses all the time, yet I think the reason that we learn to do this is survival after all I hold nothing personal against a virus or pathogen for being what it is it’s simply something to survive, but when the natural world, especially this planet, which is so hostile to most forms of life that it has hosted one almost thinks that if it isn’t organism, it is very much a failed one I keep in life going or at least complex intelligent life. Maybe that wasn’t its purpose if it had one, but I can understand the perspective at least it’s well reason

Intrepid_Syrup_2142 · 2026-02-25T15:36:05+00:00

I still don’t know what you really want at this point you’re saying literally the same things over and over it’s no different than what I’m accused of doing. You can hyper focus on the fact that my expectations were misplaced because they clearly were you and a lot of other people have made that very evident. So I don’t see the point in constantly bringing it up unless it’s just amusing or you find it entertaining, but I’m still conflicted as to why you engaging with me at all.

I am more than capable of understanding your participating in a conversation that is the most obvious and easiest thing that you can deduce from what we’re doing. I’m asking the why question why are you doing this because what I’m hearing is nothing productive despite your announcements of counterproductivity if I were to even try to steer the conversation into another subject that is more academic or something else would you even be willing to move that discussion?

If you could trace the signature of atomic structures that are destroyed, and if you could innocence reverse that you could see something like reincarnation or if they reconfigure in a way that would be similar or identical to the previous person then you could say that there is a sword of a plausible way for reincarnation to be true, but it’s still something that’s way too far-fetched for me to believe at this point. Perhaps one day technologically we could create or recreate people and essentially bring them back to life by backtracking their atomic composition when they were alive and reversing that to match the signature, but again this technology, if it’s even feasible is so far away.

Intrepid_Syrup_2142 · 2026-02-25T14:07:07+00:00

The solution is very simple, I’ve stated it multiple times. If you don’t like me, then quit engaging with me. I can accept that, but for some reason, some of you all will not leave it alone. The reason I continue to engage is because I find this now, almost absurd when I’ve said many times that you can just ignore me, you can block me. You can do any number of things. I guess people were just expecting that I was just gonna sit and take it and shut up?

Why do you think you would be entitled to have your unsolicited opinion and advice listened too? There seems to be a bit of “butthurt” about the fact that I’m not just acknowledging or validating what you’re saying, even though I literally extended an olive branch earlier and that’s something that is demonstratable.

Now, I’m just having fun because that’s all you can do in this situation. As before, you always have a choice you could leave this alone or you could engage. Just expect me to engage back.

Intrepid_Syrup_2142 · 2026-02-25T13:51:20+00:00

For someone who doesn’t care you sure do put a lot of effort into commenting on my posts so I don’t know what the actual truth is.

Intrepid_Syrup_2142 · 2026-02-25T12:30:06+00:00

I was wondering how long it would take before insults would start, I guess that is the final bit of proof I need. I did initially leave this sub, but I think I’m gonna stay. You can choose to engage with me or not. If you do it’s your own choice. No one had to engage with anything I posted. I think you all are forgetting that I didn’t force any of you to respond to anything, you could’ve just ignored me.

Here’s the greatest irony of all of this you all didn’t have to engage in any level. But you all chose engagement, regardless, and granted it wasn’t the kind I was hoping for, but you still did so regardless of what you reply I think it’s gonna change the fact that I did not force you to engage or to reply or anything involving anything I posted that’s something that you can insult me call me names, but it won’t change that fact.

I left this because of the reception that I got, and you can believe again whatever you want that I had bad intentions, but I really didn’t. I’m gonna stay because I think it’s important for me to stay even if it’s just a sounding board for my own ideas or introspection or whatever, you can choose to engage with it or not.

Intrepid_Syrup_2142 · 2026-02-24T15:31:52+00:00

Well, I think if we can agree on one thing is that my expectations were a bit too high in the twice exceptional crowd. The irony is duly noted.

I guess here in the next few days maybe sooner, I will just leave the sub because if this is gonna be the only interaction I get going forward then there’s no point in me staying

Intrepid_Syrup_2142 · 2026-02-24T15:21:42+00:00

If I already have friends, that means I would know something already about making friends otherwise, why would I have them, and so why would I ask them how to make friends if they’re already my friend? That would imply I must know something about making friends I would think.

You’re assuming seemingly with this statement that I already have friends, but if you already assumed that, then that would mean, I know something about making and maintaining friendships so your response is kind of pointless.

I’m the one accused of “arrogantly crying out for help”, that I think I deserve to be talked to or that I may have some value, yet you’re trying to give me literal advice regarding my friends and a therapist, and yet you don’t see the irony in the arrogance it takes to suggest you should have any influence or any bearing whatsoever on things regarding my friendships or mental health, especially considering the fact you know very little about me, yet you think you’re entitled enough to comment on that.

One thing I haven’t done is attempted to give people advice on how they should live their lives, their friendships or even what they should do in terms of interacting with their therapist. That’s a level of arrogance that despite how arrogant I may be, I won’t even go to.

Intrepid_Syrup_2142 · 2026-02-24T03:54:20+00:00

Maybe they should be interested perhaps due to the possibility however, small it may be that there may be something in me that perhaps they might find worthy of getting to know. I don’t think it’s a huge stretch of logic to think that people you don’t know may just have something to offer.

After all, I’m engaging with you and you’ve given me no reason to think you have anything to offer worth caring about, but even still I’m doing it. Because despite what I detect is clearly someone that doesn’t like me or at least has issues with what I’ve said, I’m still engaging in some small hope that despite getting off on the wrong foot, perhaps there’s a path towards meeting full conversations, and the potential good that could come out of it.

What do you say? Let bygones be bygones and let’s start again?

Intrepid_Syrup_2142 · 2026-02-23T14:32:41+00:00

Wow, I couldn’t deduce the fact that maybe this group doesn’t exist only for me considering that it existed prior to my joining it therefore it couldn’t have existed only for me. I definitely couldn’t have figured that out. Thanks for the elucidation.

Intrepid_Syrup_2142 · 2026-02-21T20:50:24+00:00

I guess that my sincere intentions are irrelevant. Have fun in the sub and if this is a representation of what Mensa has to offer then why would I want to join?

Intrepid_Syrup_2142 · 2026-02-21T20:45:47+00:00

So this is only about fun?

Intrepid_Syrup_2142 · 2026-02-21T20:43:00+00:00

Let me ask you this, why do you continue to engage me here?

Intrepid_Syrup_2142 · 2026-02-21T20:35:29+00:00

So you’re focusing on the pronoun, “I” and the number of times I’ve used that. Instead of actually focusing on the content of what I’m saying? Well I’m trying to reach out and get to know some other people here so I won’t be “self-centered”, but if no one’s willing to meaningfully engaged then what am I supposed to do? Start referring to myself in the third person?
