Stolen valor but strong message. I can dig it. I mean, it's true.

Truth bombs are like clock work!

What's your iq nigga?

I can relate deeply to what you are saying 🧡Recently moved to Thailand

Legit starting the convos this week to do exactly this.. Huge changes planned starting to churn. Excited for the next version of me.

Everything I’ve ever listened to of yours you were loud, bombastic, agressive and self-righteous. If that carries over into other personal interactions, I imagine some of the smarter more introverted people keep quiet instead, as they aren’t afforded the room to speak their mind because you’re talking over them with your presumed “I know what’s best” attitude. Since you’re the only one giving an opinion at length it doesn’t mean no one else has added value on a subject. They just don’t feel like wasting their time or energy on a know-it-all.

Yes. Complacency leads to intellectual decay……..

Well said. How can you go where you haven’t before if you don’t do what you’ve never done?

Never been in a room with me…

This resonates deeply. Thanks for sharing

Oui Chef, Oui. Challenging yourself is highly underrated. So is failure.

The best experience usually being the average guy in the room

Thank you for sharing!

One time, I caught myself holding myself back around some of my new friends because I didn't think I was "good enough" to be their friend. Like they would be classified as the popular kids and I wouldn't.

I talked to God about it, and then saw the classic image of the footprints in the sand that turns into one set, but I knew it meant me walking without shame and guilt. So I broke agreements with shame and guilt, and after that, I no longer felt like I didn't belong or could be friends with them.

After marrying my husband, I have also accepted that I am a big dog. I basically used to act like one of those big dogs that think they're small, like maybe a golden retriever 😅 but it's much better to just accept the fact that I am a big dog, I am highly intelligent, and instead of trying to let others be above me, I've accepted that they're often below Nd only sometimes even with me.

Sure there are some who have higher intelligence in a specific domain, and I fully respect and submit to that, but it doesn't mean that they're higher than me overall.

That's part of what I like about Nostr, intelligent people congregate here! And we encourage everyone to be the most they can be! 🥳🤗

I have never figured out how to get into these so called “rooms.” In high school and college it was natural to not be the smartest, although sometimes I was. After college I started my own companies and never got to the place where I had the money to hire really smart people, so I was always the smartest. And now the rooms I’m in with smarter people are coders and such who do things I know nothing about and have no interest in. All this is to say, if I knew where the rooms were, I’d go to them. The best I can do is listen to podcasts and YouTube and scroll NOST and X.

The smartest mind in the room learns nothing. But you don’t always need to leave the room, you can just change just your perspective and find a lesson. Often my dog’s the smartest one in my room.

THIS is how you love your neighbors. 🙏🫡

I look forward to the day when we are “in the same room” and we can have a deep, good faith conversation.

Thanks for sharing those great words humbly.

This will hopefully be the kick in the ass that I need to move on.

Good insight. My insecurities followed me from room to room until I finally saw them as a spiritual sickness. I pray more now.

A couple years ago, by luck i was put in a position where i had to replace someone. With a great task laying ahead of me, i partly wanted to cower.

But i woke up in that moment, and have been on a completely new trajectory ever since.

Sometimes i reflect upon this moment, and it might have been the most significant turn of events in my life. That path led me to grow, dare and find. Never looking back, and always looking for similar situations of discomfort and fear, those moments lead to growth.

Real intelligence isn’t about being the smartest. It’s about having the courage to step into rooms that humble you.

How did you achieve that ?

That’s the truth. Growth doesn’t happen in control...it happens in surrender. Most aren't willing to go there.

Depression and suicidal thoughts are a sign that you (metaphorically) have to kill your old self and have to reborn like a phoenix. You reached your bottom and its time for a fundamental change.

so u have accepted the truth: that people of earth have been severely retarded (i.e. suppressed in consciousness), and u were merely the smarter pup of a small litter for some time;

learn who has been in control of ur retardation (phase 1):

I feel this.

I made the leap of faith while in college to pursue engineering which would have forced me to realize that 1) yes, I am as smart as I think I am, or, worse 2) that I’m not. The fear of facing my own intellectual fallibility was due to years of being raised as a perfectionist, by a perfectionist. “Do it right or don’t do it at all.”

I never tried so hard in my life. I never questioned my intelligence more, which is terrifying for those who fear failure.

I graduated with honors.

That journey changed me. It laid the foundation to allow me to intellectually approach Bitcoin. It’s crazy how only a few decisions can not only alter your personal journey, but potentially your family tree.

Proof of work. 🍻

Bro, it’s hard being smart, but there is an exponential edge for the future. Cheers

“Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Let those of us who are mature think this way, and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal that also to you.” - Philippians 3:12-15
