I'm not shocked.
Until a person makes me think otherwise from opening their mouth and communicating, I assume everyone is probably stupid (in person), its operating
proceedure for society. it works out, no misunderstandings, i wont sit there and explain something regarding the depth of _whatever_ is being
discussed only to get confused looks and awkward face expressions like they don't understand.
When I was in elementary school, kindergarten through 5th grade, and even 6th through 8th grades, there was always a prevailing feeling of .. being
dumb was cool, not doing your work was good, not knowin the answer was cool, and no participating was the way to be. But even then, even then, when
push came to shove I did my assignments, got the grades to pass, kept them quietly so no one knew I was "smart". Being smart wasnt cool at all, at
least for a boy. Girls however, we all thought their life dream was to be "smart" at all times .. kinda funny how less women pursue a study into the
extreme levels of education to earn a doctorate degree or what not. By then, at that age, other things become more important than stupid school work,
just like our boyish stuff was more important as kids. There's plenty who do, (women who become doctors) just statistically, since their are more men
involved to start with at that point, the vast majority of people who seek such a high education in America end up being men. It's like .. (my
guesstimates) 7 out of 10 doctorate holders are men, 3 are women. Sound right?
And so i grew up with this prevailing thought that being smart was not cool.
But secretly I knew I had no choice, I'm not a genius (I don't think I am by any shred, I'm not that deluded) .. but I am naturally intelligent.
It's from that really early education being pushed onto me by Mom when i was just a toddler, getting me through the deception of games to learn the
alphabet, and how to spell, long before most would've, and always being in some advanced "english class" in public schools.
Funny, after dropping out of high school, then getting my G.E.D, there I was, in public school, state community college (I pay for it but you know the
state helps teh school), taking college level english, even though I had never completed an english class
post ninth grade. According to them,
I had a college level reading and writing ability based on placement testing. Good thing I dropped out of high school or wouldve had a Diploma and an
S.A.T. score which I would've undoubtably bombed bad, thus probably getting remedial english in college. But no, I had no S.A.T., so I had to get the
"college specific placement testing" for that particular college, which was quite indepth and did go to a level of difficulty in some subjects. I
admittedly didn't do quite as well on, but that test kind of ..proved once and for all, to me, that intelligence and capabilty with a language ie;
communication or expressing oneself came from something inbedded very, very early in life, before puberty, and then this base form is used to learn
the higher levels there-of. without the base, you cannot understand the higher levels.
And so .. 80% or more of society, they never got the base to begin with, and can't hope to understand. They were told just go to school sit down shut
up. They believed all they were told. Thought nothing for themselves and the realm of possibility, were too busy being pushed by their primal urges to
mate and thus have the fly gear and the most expensive shoes.
So when you see stats like that, it's just reflective of the deep, ugly fact that doesn't like to be shared that the vast majority of society really
is stupid, dense, have little to no schooling, or desire to learn outside of school via the two eyes attached to the front of their learning receptor.
They all bought into what I assume
most of us here at ATS bought-out of early on .. which was this culture of ignorance on purpose.
