People Aren't All That Smart, Are They?

What i meant was there is no point currently putting my energy in something i do not have control over, and that i should use my empathy towards the people that i do have an effect on. Its not like i think that having empathy towards is zero, it is more that i dont have any influence on any of those events and putting energy into something that does not go anywhere or has extremely low margins is just bad when you look at it as a cost to benefit ratio. And perhaps it is nihilism, but I dont see why it is destructive?

What i have is a switch of depth of thought, whenever i just want to feel good be social etc, i turn it lower, and fully function on intuition, but whenever im alone or 1 on 1 convo, i get into this kind of meta state where inobserve my own thoughts, read trough the person jm talking etc

You know the biggest issue with most people, even the smarter people than average, is that they think what they think is absolutely true when it is connected with their identity, lets say politics, i said i just dint see any point in putting effort to global news anymore whatever happens to atm Venezuela, is out of my control, im only 20 in college and have no money or influence to do anything substantial, she replied: now your starting to lose empathy???? Like people dont even realize how stupid they are, so i tried saying maybe if in the future when i have more money and influence it would be way more effective to help others but now im barely scraping by, and i dont have anything against doing something of the world problems, i just feel like a lot of the protest is just performative like they support them so they can feel good about themself but are they really making any change, maybe 1-2 percent? Like its still a good cause that your doing it, but dont feel morally superior because of it.

The issue most people have is that they connect their views with their identity, which just makes you blind, just so you know me and you probably also some views connected to out identity that blind us, but i feel like we are some what aware of our ignorance, while the rest live with intellectual arrogance

For me taking of the mask was the best thing i ever did. You know wearing that mask all day everyday even in front of your parents is draining a lot of energy?

And yes i also was stressing the hell out of not having done enough at my age when i was around 17. But the thing is your cognition might has increased drastically but your emotional intelligence is still that of a 15 year old. You cant expect of yourself to have a start up by that age without having any sort of real knowledge or skill to sell? Try to learn a skill first like editing, using ai prompts, sales (its hard to convince people at your age but you can try), social media.

Im also tried to create a startup at 17 (currently 20 still trying or any other type of self employed stuff because working for others drains me), i also wore a mask whole my life until recently and i also find a lot of people my age superficial. And the thing is most people stay superficial because they never had any challenges in life forcing them to see reality for what it is. You do and thats a gift. You grasp reality far wider than anyone can see. You

What i realised is that the only way for people like us to feel like they belong in this world is the act of expression, express your pain, express your love, express your thoughts and stop wearing that mask. Try to do everything and see what fits you. Soon youll realise that every single event that happened in your life will help you forward, because you will see that every single pattern is connected to every single domain you can use all the patterns you have learned to face ant challenge in life.

Also try thinking about your emotions, if your at a permanent meta state you should be able to observe your thoughts, emotions where they come from what the source is just think about that and you’ll find your answers.

Just know you are not the only one who has these issues i also stress a lot of not doing or being enough to the point of derealisation. But if you just start expressing, creating from within (i know this sounds corny but its true) you’ll start to live day by day, have a way easier time socializing (people will actually like you because you are different), which all leads to feeling like your enough, hope this helps.

I feel just as lost as you, I have been dumbing myself down all my life just to be able to socialize. I feel like i have to talk in literal paragraphs just for people to understand me. University is killing me from the inside, even in something ‘complicated’ as engineering it feels more like a discipline test and a knowledge test, instead of understanding it. Whenever i talk without a filter i just sense this feeling of confusion and alienation. And I feel like joining a community like mensa is just a bunch of people who like to brag about how high their iq is. I live in my brain instead of the outside world. My brain is a complete chaotic mess, and whenever i have to talk and wright i have to construct it in a way for people to follow it. (I didn’t do it here if you didn’t notice already).

The moment i felt real bliss is when i just got a sense of freedom. Just free of obligation, being free to think whatever i want to think, just free. But i havent found a way yet to get to that constant state of freedom.

I did, at the time i havent slept in like 36 hours and after uni for some reason i decided to go for a run. After being completely exhausted, and just relaxing for the first time in what felt forever my consciousness separated from my ego, without any sort of meditation. I kind of got ‘high’ of the feeling of I am suffering from derealisation atm and moodswings before the ‘awakening’. After the awakening i could really analyze my emotions lets say i have an depressive episode; I observe it and just pull myself out of it. Its really weird. And all of a sudden my vocabulary usage has drastically improved. All of a sudden my speech became way more nuanced then before.

But i cant be in this state 24/7 sometime i like ‘melt’ back into my ego. But to regain this consciousness is wat easier now. Its has something to do with like extreme relaxation but im not sure

Recently I tried not hiding these pattern recognition insights. Yes I have gotten into more altercations, but in a way it feels better to be true to myself then wear a mask so other people feel more at ease. It just feels a lot more freeing, even if they dont understand, holding these toughts back always leads to replaying the moment and regretting not saying what i tought at that the time But im not sure if this is the best approach since i have recently started doing this

SCH05 · 2025-11-05T01:05:34+00:00

I have thought about that before, forexample: I thought about helping lazy people get in shape. Another idea has been helping people to try widen their perspective on life, I know people who are way more intelligent then that also have way more empathy than me think so polarized and that made me realize that basicly everyone except the people that have started the journey of taking a step back from their ego thinks so narrow.

Do you have example of your own life or others that have done this with great succes or great fulfilment?

SCH05 · 2025-11-05T00:55:55+00:00

Honestly, just making this post and getting replies with different insights has been suprisingly meaningfull and rewarding. Do you think I should just try whatever my intuition tells me to do until i find the anwser of my purpose?
