I even have observed that some stupid people can be trained to be really smart (from the younger age, at least). But they remain smart only for as long as you keep training them, and all the time (even when you are not training them but they are still smart out of inertia) they feel somehow not quite right about it, about being smart I mean. And given the first opportunity they trash all their smartness, go with the fools, revert back to being stupid about some new things they discover (e.g. covid or Ukraine), and then 5hey are really happy and feel quite right.

I never wanted to believe this and still am looking for the opposite proof, but all the evidence points to this direction that stupidity is genetical, although inheritance schemes are very complicated, at least I am unable to track them.

I think you get what you deserve. Life's quite meritocratic. It's quite hard to notice the shit going on while you live your life half asleep at best. Try to rethink how you were thinking just moments before waking up to what you know now. Identify the exact moment that made you say A-ha! That jump in reasoning is what they can't do at the moment. It's like Einstein was saying: "We cannot solve our problems with the same kind of thinking we used when we created them". Simply put, things are invisible until they're not. Bitcoin pays off handsomely in this regard.

Also, it's really hard to admit you were believing silly stuff. It takes a lot of courage to do so. It's easier to continue believing same old crap thinking, well, at least this life ends at some point. And then bang, you get to be respawned in [redacted].

This is what I wanted to believe, but my experience keeps pointing the other way. I think some (few) are misinformed, but many are less gifted.

Just a couple of examples:

1. I was always curious about everything and distrustful about everyone and everything. Not because of any phobia nor bad experience, just because many things accepted by others did not make sense and did not lead to good results, and because math teachers were able to prove and disprove everything, and maybe because my father taught me that only math teachers are to be trusted.

So were some of my friends. I wasn't even the fastest nor smartest many times. But it always felt like they were like that just to compete with me, like they always tended to choose silly stuff to spend their time on when I was not around.

And so we grow up, start spending less time together (different colleges, work, etc.) and all of my friends step by step choose silly acquaintancies, silly hobbies, and eventually stop being curious about anything. They become boring and uninteresting to me. And then sure enough, inflations, bitcoin, covid, Ukraine and Gaza strike, and all of them are all-in at the stupid camp. So total regression to totally stupid like they have never even been any smarter.

2. There are all the other kids that not even as kids managed to reason. Those keep chasing "flash lights" trying to outshine every one of them in every instant. Bullies, nerds and all their victims upset that not they are the bullies and the nerds.

While to me, the world kept revealing itself gradually all the time. There never was any sudden awakening. I did not care about americans killing Gaddaffi, because I was busy making sure my family had a great life, the west had improved my life compared to the previous experience in USSR by lightyears and therefore seemed better than the alternative, and so the greater politics was very far away for me. I never trusted the doctors and policemen, because whenever I had needed their help, I was able to help myself much better than they did. I did not know they were that stupid until they all fell for covid nonsense. So I know now. After 2009 I did consider a recluse option as a way to escape the real inflation or the alternative of abusing others through investments and speculations. Until I learned that bitcoin unlike other cryptos is not a speculative ponzi scheme. And so now, having taken care of my family, knowing that there is a way out of inflation and therefore also out of wars, and knowing that doctors and pharmacists are not a little bit less gifted but not gifted at all, I have the time to look into the greater politics and history and take note of who the americans and the gang are killing or abusing.

So, I do think that the less gifted ones could be trained to be smart by force and torture. But I am afraid they will be smart only for as long as they are being tortured. As soon as you leave them alone they will go back to being absolutelly stupid as they are now.

I had to read your reply a couple of times. Really powerful stuff, so thanks for sharing. I can relate to many of the things you've mentioned, especially the ones about our peers. I've met with hyperinflation before 9/11. It was kind of brutal. Now I know everything was just training for bitcoin and whatnot.

The more time we spent in the rabbit hole, the crazier we appear to the normies. Therefore, when I'm thinking clearly I just stop identifying with any persona. Because otherwise the only sane conclusion is that they are in fact retarded for not seeing the obvious. I think it's fair to say they are some kind of victims of the system. And since I'm not interested in forcing my good onto others, I just let them be.

I think there's a purpose in the gradual waking up, otherwise the doors would be all blocked by the crowds! 😅🫂💜

Agreed totally. Neither have I any interest in changing their lifes in any way. If they don't explicitely ask for my help - not my business.

Since some of my nocoiner frens have bigger IQs than me, I have concluded that bitcoin is not such a test but a more complex one. Hopefully by 2028 halving I'd have made more progress with my theories. So far, the ones who have started to wake up have little powder to ape in and the ones who have the capital to do so are still arrogant.

I think measuring IQ by solving artificial riddles is not the right way of doing it. Whoever lives the happiest life is the winner, and therefore has the highest IQ.

Bitcoin is not so much a matter of solving riddles, but primarily about making the right moral choices, and only secondly math, economics, etc.. And making correct moral choices is one of the first prerequisites before anything else in achieving happiness. Solving riddles and everything else won't matter if moral choices are incorrect.

Those who abandon morality to any degree, fail to notice the important detail, fail to decide the right priorities in their lifes. Where is Intelligence Quotient in that? What is now called IQ should be renamed to RSS (riddle solving skill).

Those who have already understood bitcoin but don't have any savings yet, may have not earned them yet (young) or may have been robbed by the fiat system. Either way, they will accumulate their savings soon.

Those who have savings but don't understand bitcoin yet, don't deserve them, i.e. they are the ones who robbed the former ones. These two types will have to switch places eventually.

It may be something similar to when I am engaged in things like Nicola Tesla and software programming and so on. I can understand them if I try, but really I don't give a damn about electrons. I am fine with hunting, farming and simple things like that. The only complicated technology I really enjoy is recorded music. Everything else I only use and understand in self defense. Just because the ones who want to take stuff away from me use those technologies and in other ways try to be more powerful than me.
