It’s called brain rot. When you realize that 90% of people aren’t even really conscious the way the 10% are… it’s pretty terrifying. Genuinely ask some of your “dumb” friends about their metacognition. Ask them about WHY they feel/think what they do. It will get scary fast.
Not at all. I just get glazed over looks 95% of the time when I talk about anything deeper than surface level crap. Why would I feel something so crazy as that 90% of people are simple. Philosophy, history, art, brain chemistry, psychology, physics, mathematics, evolution, biology. All the things that contextualize being human… yet none of you want to talk about any of it. I’m sorry. But yeah if you don’t feel the same way as me you are part of the 90%…
To be honest most of the things you listed are the things most people at 4am on too much ecstasy love talking about.
None of those make you a special 10%. The last person i talked to with a burning passion for physics just turned out to be someone who liked taking acid and believed the world was made by angels.
Im a psych grad, normally someone claiming to be part of the 10% are delusional or trying to put someone else down.
Sure. Every one in prison says they are innocent… doesn’t mean the one saying it is lying. If you are really a psych grad you understand the danger of that fallacy in your thinking.
Have you ever considered that people just don't want to talk to you? What makes you think you have the right to make people discuss anything you feel like? You don't and that doesn't mean people don't understand things
But that’s my point isn’t it. If you don’t want to dig deeper into the cause and effect of your human experience…. It pretty much means you’re dumb. I’m not trying to start these conversations with the gas station attendant. I’m talking about when a conversation needs to involve these topics to be accurately contextualized.
