- Sep 3, 2023Twitter · reply@rainbowheart34 I believe ppl do know their own abilities & limitations, underneath whatever layers of ego might obscure it... whether they're willing to self identify given the social stigma, yeah it's a problem but anon helps a bit w honesty I think?
- Sep 3, 2023Twitter · reply@HephaistosF where do you get "top 3%"?
- Sep 3, 2023Twitter · reply@rainbowheart34 🤷♀️ or whatever approximation they feel makes sense, yeah... I'm asking a minority group to describe their experience
- Sep 3, 2023Twitter · reply@_Xenofy_ lmao nice!
- Sep 3, 2023Twitter · reply@mister_gibbon hahahaha I so relate wrt curiosity!!! I often ask simple questions as neutrally as possible without disclaimers or explanations because I want to get an independent read on something, or to verify my mental model...

- Sep 3, 2023Twitter · replytbc I think it's an imperfect measurement of a real difference in ability, like how having someone run a mile and do pushups is an imperfect measurement of their athletic ability
- Sep 3, 2023Twitter · reply@bookofflesh yeah I have an uncle w Downs I think at like 75? he does pretty well but doesn't drive or manage bills (he does work and spend his own money on stuff he likes)

- Sep 3, 2023Twitter · reply@pataguccigoon jealousy + hipster cred + nostalgia is a lot of the emotion imo but also I wonder if techbros are more likely to attend w consumer mindset vs as participant & co-creator?
- Sep 3, 2023Twitter · reply@chaosprime lol I am not convinced I'm correct here... I went through an addictive over-exercise phase that ofc ended in burnout and injury, vs the others seem unappealing... so I'm wondering if it's just my bias and which way to update
- Sep 3, 2023Twitter · quotefor everyone saying that excessive iq isn't particularly advantageous- what's your take on AI "superintelligence"- is it not very useful either? or is there some difference? https://x.com/ScarletAstrorum/status/1698496894358495539

- Sep 3, 2023Twitter · postwhy are some ppl able to pull back when they feel a substance or behavior becoming addictive & net negative, and other ppl don't/can't?
- Sep 3, 2023Twitter · reply@HephaistosF @TheOutsiderHum1 or god doesn't exist, there's no one out there to save you, bad stuff just happens and there's nothing just about it
- Sep 3, 2023Twitter · postwhy am i highly skeptical of panacea prescriptions like ssris, weed, meditation, "find god" and yet I do believe exercise solves most things? 🤔
- Sep 3, 2023Twitter · postmetta ppl- how do you practice without getting over sensitive and depressed about the suffering in the world?

- Sep 3, 2023Twitter · postare iq 145 ppl as "far" from iq 100 as iq 55 ppl are, in terms of actual intellectual performance gap? if not, what's your take on why?
- Sep 3, 2023Twitter · reply@lu_sichu lol yes, I've read some, but I like asking follow-up questions 😅
- Sep 3, 2023Twitter · reply@StatsLime are there any notable clusters or is it entirely random even distribution?
- Sep 3, 2023Twitter · replyoh, another question- are there traits or abilities that only manifest in relation to other ppl like you?
- Sep 3, 2023Twitter · reply@wyajamie is there a pattern to you actual intentions vs how they're interpreted?
- Sep 3, 2023Twitter · reply@KojimaErgoSum lol did you ever do standardized tests in school? they usually give some indication
- Sep 3, 2023Twitter · replyI'm particularly curious about the less obvious stuff- what about aesthetics? emotions? religion / philosophy?
- Sep 3, 2023Twitter · postfor ppl who are intellectually anomalous (say, iq 145+) how does your mind differ from avg folks and how do you know?
- Sep 3, 2023Twitter · reply@HephaistosF yeah, I have eclectic tastes, I'm sure I'd like at least some of the art... unsure if I'd enjoy the party atmosphere mixed w discomforts of camping
- Sep 3, 2023Twitter · reply@HephaistosF is one of the things making me anxious tbh- I had started making a set of quilts etc for artomatic that got canceled by the pandemic and idk when the stars will align but it's a life goal to show some of my art
- Sep 3, 2023Twitter · reply@HephaistosF yeah I'd kinda like to go, tho not enough to make it happen probably- but 30% is way better than our local unjuried artomatic shows
- Sep 3, 2023Twitter · reply@astralwalkk yeah... I've been back and forth with change everything and feel paralyzed and change nothing... start one routine and lose it when I try to add another, or something else comes up... one big thing- idk how ppl have big social lives w lots of friends! It takes a whole day or evening to see one person, and then you want to see them regularly…
- Sep 3, 2023Twitter · postwrt art festivals n such... tbqh, *most* art is not great, and most amateur stuff is on average worse... it's tough & time consuming to find emerging talent, tho very cool when it happens.
- Sep 3, 2023Twitter · reply@CustomWetware I like my stuff! got rid of a lot in the past and then did miss some... It's more the purchases that require time to be enjoyed- books to be read, hobby supplies to be crafted, exercise equipment to be used.... I want to do it all so it's really tough to give up any of it
- Sep 3, 2023Twitter · reply@astralwalkk thanks, yeah I hope so... but hope isn't a plan, I need to find a sustainable routine
- Sep 3, 2023Twitter · reply@KojimaErgoSum yeah, true... but it's like, a sense that I have too many unfinished things in queue so I have to say NO to adding anything more, buying anything, etc, until I start burning down some of it
- Sep 3, 2023Twitter · reply@astralwalkk yeah... tbh having trouble just keeping up with life and work and reading and hobby project, neglected my garden this summer so that feels bad... haven't been exercising which is probably the solution if I can stick to it long enough to feel the benefits
- Sep 3, 2023Twitter · postfeeling the anxiety again today- the anxiety that I can't keep up with everything I want to do w my life... that I'm accumulating more stuff than I will ever have time to use...
- Sep 3, 2023Twitter · reply@HephaistosF why do you think there's a god, or an anything after death? our body struggles to hold itself together and when it finally gives out imo there's nothing
- Sep 3, 2023Twitter · reply@mage_ofaquarius tbh if the rumor was measles I'd believe it
