I think I might be the smartest person ever.

I didn't mean it in a literal sense. I'm starting to think that giftedness is more of a savantry thing rather than actual intelligence

Did you ever snort some of the sock mites?

Savant types aren't "real" people. They lack the human qualities capable of making their own decisions and will likely always be exploited. "Quants" are the savants of economics who do supercomputer calculations in their head and it took them years to realize they were working towards engineering a financial collapse on behalf of the people they worked for. They can literally cause a trillion dollars to vanish in a second but since they lack the "negative" human characteristics like lust for power, sociability etc. they don't move up in that world enough to benefit from change, only cause it. Same thing with every other science, a physicist is always at the mercy of who owns the lab, gives funding and pays his salary. All three of these things can be controlled if someone who's dumber but is more determined to affect change steps in

I was able to read my first book at 3

I learned to read at age 3 also.  Reading and spelling are one of the few things in life that I am good at.  Too bad those skills are utterly useless in this day and age.

i'm looking at some of my mom's stuff and it's literally schizophrenic babbling

[dragqueen slayer]

On my father's side, grandma was a tapdancing french Canadian, grandfather was tapdancing juvenile delinquent irishman alcoholic who also was in the military for drum corps/tapdancing

My dad is probably the lamest person in the whole family but he can play the drums well, and the guitar, he used to be able to sing.

Mother's side: I have no idea. I think grandpa gambled away millions and his home and as the oldest of 7 children that kind of explains why she's such a bitch since she always would have to be in charge I guess. I think he'd keep on having babies with my grandmother, then leave for a few months and continue on his business, then come back. Grandmother apparently wrote a book.

My mom is a fucking idiot who doesn't understand how to use a remote control or what the next number in the sequence of 1,2,3,4,5,6,? she has some ability i guess because she founded her own charity and spends countless hours in dreamweaver and photoshop designing her internets.  i'm pretty sure my mom's "charity" is a huge scam but i'll find out one day. right now she's leeching off my dad though.

What the fuck is with all the tapdancing?

This thread made me find out my mom's real mom killed herself and she spent her childhood convinced her stepmom is her mom, which is why "she can no longer trust anybody".

I just realized my mom is a fucking con artist

i'm going to have a shitstorm go down later

Really, that's something that's of particular interest to me because it's such a phenomenon that creates insane and talented people. That's really interesting actually but I've only ever learned of it in reference to males/maternal. Ted Bundy had it happen to him, Eddie Vedder had it happen to him (pearl jams best album "ten" is largely about this, including one song where a "fictional' person has this same thing happen to them so they become a serial killer) and a few other insanely talented famous people who it's bugging me to remember.

There really needs to be a term for this, it used to be fairly common and screws people up. Fuck, it's gonna bug me who some other famous people this happened to are.

[mashleshmash]

What kind of schizophrenic babble?
