>tfw above average intelligence
It's fucked. I'd rather be stupid.
Instead I'm trapped in a prison where I'm not stupid enough to enjoy blissful ignorance, too smart to be joe average and go through life with a lack of questioning and consciousness and not smart enough to actually do anything significant.
Who else above average but not special here?

Every average Joe thinks that way. You're not special, you're nothing.
Don't be special. My senior project is a machine which can destroy cholesterol plaque in the artery, and I've contributed nearly 100 hours while my projectmates have contributed less than 20. Saving millions of lives for cheap, pleasing PhDs, graduating, none of this motivates those normie fuckers who have everything in life already.

Do people here honestly believe this?
I bet you are a retard.
What makes you so smart?
>>36565925
This. It's literally what most people think about themselves.

What if you were attractive but too attractive to live life blissfully?
Would you prefer that?

I don't understand why if you call yourself above average intelligence, people get indignant about it. You can post this on any board at any time and you will get 5 responses saying "UM EXCUSE ME YOU'RE NOT AS SMART AS YOU ACTUALLY THINK YOU ARE SIR!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU ARE JUST DUMB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Do you think the existence of intelligent people is a myth?

Anyone actually smart would be smart enough to not post on /r9k/ bemoaning how hard their intelligence has made their life.

I know how u feel my dude, these normies will never understand

I'm not saying OP is necessarily smart, but I think high intelligence does alienate you from people.
Look at what is highly popular and you will see why. Pop culture is an amalgam of the most stupid and vapid shit that humanity can produce. If you are even a little bit smart you would have to pretend to like Transformers 7: Explosion Tits Edition Directed By Michael Bay or face social isolation.

>implying almost 50% of the population is special

Sure, I could certainly understand high intelligence correlating with feelings of isolation.
But when I see that on a random robot post with no substance I am going to say they're probably stupid.
Also as a kid who grew up on Transformers in the 80s, still collects some of the nicer toys and follows the surprisingly excellent comics these days the Transformers movie franchise kills a little bit more of my soul with every sequel. Just had to vent.
