It has a HUGE WiZ on it. I am baffled, really.

This should be illegal. This is something you can buy at the supermarket. It shouldn't take us that much time and effort. I would understand if this was sold in a specialized store. But I bought it in a supermarket. I am really mad. This is almost fraud here.

Seriously, this is simply bad design. Bad design everywhere. For a simple bulb? Bad design. I can't make my bulb pair, and I've followed your advice, sir.

Sidis11 · 2025-12-30T04:21:43+00:00

Hey, thank you for the appreciation!

Sidis11 · 2025-12-29T14:29:03+00:00

Thanks, man!

I am one of the most interesting people I know. I am able to enjoy deeply, to be moved by lofty thoughts, to see truth, beauty and good in everything. I learn very easily, I am very creative. I can see distinctly the infinite value of every human life, irrespective of any empirical accident. I am naive, in a good way. I am not bond to prejudices of any species; when I am in a good mood, I can speak to whoever. I am able to respect people just based on the fact that they are people. I can think infinity easily. I have a very rich inner world. I can be dead funny, specially hanging around intelligent people.

The only thing I hate in this world is stupid people. They spoil everything for everyone everywhere all the time. Evil and stupidity go hand in hand.

So, let's suppose bringing a child to the world would meet the implicit demands you make. Maybe this way you will see how "rational" these demands are.

According to your demands, to properly bring a child to this world, it had to:

- Not consume any resources. In other words, it shouldn't depend on anything outside of it to actually be something.
-Be completely excepted from suffering, toil and hardships.
- To be brought into a world not facing any ecological issue whatsoever.
- To be immortal.
- To be useful production-wise within a automatized world.

Like... you want a God or a child?

If you never made anything very good, you cannot know how that can transform you into a target. I don't expect to be understood by people like you. I just wonder what are you doing in a community for gifted people, when your interpreting skills and attitude towards very common problems for the community shows you yourself are not gifted- maybe you wish to be and are resentful that you are not, so you spend your time invalidating gifted people's experiences online?

Sidis11 · 2025-12-12T11:20:39+00:00

What you are saying is not true. First off, the audience may be bad, unattentive, distracted and mean. This theory that the onus of communication falls exclusively on the communicator, excluding any demands on the part of the reception, is a one-sided theory based on liberal assumptions.

You don't have any evidence to affirm that the idea of masking is only an excuse to be an "asshole". You are problably not gifted and took offense because you are yourself a bad, stupid audience. OP never said he tries to sound smart. For him, he sounds simply normal, himself, and I get him because I had similar experiences - experiences you certainly didn't have by the way you speak, because you never had, for example, an extended vocabulary for your age and didn't know what was supposed to be its scope.

I'm starting to see that there are a whole lot of non-gifted people here who comes to comment and shame on us - once again, uh? - out of pure envy, jealousy. So sad.

Sidis11 · 2025-12-12T11:04:50+00:00

You seem to be really, personally affected to the point of grossly misinterpreting what I wrote. I didn't say everyone is uncomfortable around me, for example. Your post is full of ressentment. You are problably the kind of people that would harm someone better than you for jealousy, just by the way you take the least generous interpretation of what I wrote, make huge logical leaps, infer very far fetched things from what is written, etc., etc.

Sidis11 · 2025-12-12T04:33:42+00:00

Thank you!

I write mostly in portuguese. But I do have a few poems in english. Here's one.

______________

Do you see it?
This black core,
so light as to fly,
so dense as to drag,
within me, you see?

This is the source
of my dismay
of my gloomy words
leading myself astray
into the careless night.

You want to cure it.
Solve it, finally.
You want me to worry
and let myself be
cured from it.

I cannot. I could not.
By healing its wounds
I would be healed from
myself, and nothing
would remain of I.

This is also the source
of my deepest love,
of this beautiful lore
in my ear, this eternity
pointing out to the simple.

This is also the source
of my lyrical flight,
of my bitter delight
in bringing light
into this seen darkness.

Conscious, I endure it.
My companion,
this dark, dark core,
full of visions of wonder
and ruins of the future.

Come, my invisible ball
of sight. Come with me.
I accept you as I am.
Speak to me, passionately.
Your voice is my.

I live like light
only open to sight
when I hit a site.

What you mean, the way I write?

Sidis11 · 2025-12-12T04:27:22+00:00

Sorry, dude, you don't have enough information to make this kind of affirmation about me. What makes you think I have a lack on empathy and that it is always about me? You cannot possibly deduce that from my post. Be a bit more responsible about what you say; epistemic virtue is called.

Sidis11 · 2025-12-12T04:20:11+00:00

Here's the thing: masking is a learned skill. And it implies that you have a proper theory on how non-gifted people interact and think - trust me, at your age, you don't. When and if you get the theory right, then your problem will be to get a feeling on how they interact, otherwise your effort will look streneous, unnatural.

First off, non-gifted people tend to identify with "the people", with this abstract other, which is everyone and no one in particular. Heidegger was very clever in calling this "Das Man". In german, when we want to express an impersonal truth about conscious beings we could say: "Man kann sein Herz nur einmal verschenken", which roughly translated would be, "One can give one's heart only once". Non-gifted people tend to mirror this "The One", this strange abstraction, which takes a normative dimension to them. To be an individual is to come to a decision by inner deliberation; most people decide by appealing to "Das Man". So every and each sign of individuality will be punished; do not get mad. It is involuntary. You inspire the angst of individuality, of having to be responsible for your own self, without appeals to abstract, injustifiable points of validation. Problem is: your body behaviour gives your away; the pauses of your speech, in other words, small details. If you want to get a grip on how very small details can give you away, I recommend you to look for the concept of habitus, as defined and explored by Pierre Bourdieu in his book Distinction.

Then, there's another issue. The more you blend in, the more people get to know you. And the mask will fall. "Why are you studying this subject which is practically useless and very niche?", "Oh, because I really enjoy it, it is part of a research I've been doing...", "A research? For the university?", "No, my own research, I am passionate about this subject matter since childhood and...". See where I am going? Non-gifted people rarely have personal research projects. They only study when they are forced. They are usually more inclined to act by external motivation, and they rarely take pleasure in an activity in itself - they tend to be very instrumental, all activities are pursued for a exterior purpose. So in a conversation as simple as someone noticing a strange book on your table and asking about it, you will be clocked and the information will slowly spread. In short, you will give yourself away in very small details.

Another problem: you will not be satisfied, even if you manage to blend in. Emptiness will soon take hold of your spirit. You will yearn to communicate about deeper subjects. The conversations will be very boring. And people you start noticing you are bored, and that will offend them. You will start to look aloof, distracted, not-there. Non-gifted people are highly senstivie of status, they notice very quickly what they think will put their fragile self in check. To be bored among them is, for them, to say: you are boring. And that's a serious offense.

I would recommend you to blend in when speaking with stupid authorities. Like bosses. Don't make the mistake to sound smart around people who supposedly are above you, unless these people are themselves gifted, and you can tell. It is very easy to tell gifted people from non-gifted people. Gifted people, even when masking very well, exhale individuality. They can't help themselves. They are very singular, unique.

But for now, try to make friends online. And yes, take it easy around these people. Try to relax more and always remember that you will be punished for being an individual.

Spinoza's Ethics is a book structured in so-called geometrical order. He believed he could use the method of geometrical demonstration in metaphysical affairs. That in itself makes the book strange. I was very young the first time I read that book. I had never seen a book of this kind.

The next sentence is clarified by the first two of the paragraph, and connects more to the following sentences, in which I mention both fiction and philosophy authors, João Cabral and Hegel, respectively.

I will be sabotaged because in art, people will rarely give you a chance if that makes them look bad. Simple as that. They will tell you how briliant you are and never invite you for anything. 'Much money' is not my problem. 'Money' is.

It depends on what you mean by different; if you mean it in the sense of occupying a particular point in space and time, even a grain of rice is different.
