I think he doesn't hate that she is "dumb" more like, it's the feeling of normality that just is not there, he can't share what he loves bc seeing that she can't understand it and appreciate it hurts
To be fair, he isnt able to share his thoughts with 99.9% of the people and even most of the 0.1% left are probably not as smart as he is.
"it's lonely at the top" applies to every instance of life.
The same could be said for stamp collectors though. You can’t share every single thing with every single person
@@Creepystalker102 That's very true, but for him, it's not just one pursuit he happens to be very passionate about; he himself is on a completely different level overall, which makes it hard for him to connect to most people.
@@I_Willenbrock_Iyeah, that must be extremely isolating
Exactly
Tbh I think the girl just likes listening to him even if she doesn’t completely understand. That’s how it was for me with a friend who was super smart I would just listen to them go on and on. It was nice.
I also think the beauty of a relation- or friendship like that can be that the smarter person is challenged to explain the facts understandibly. The other person learns some stuff, the first can share what they love, and both are doing an act of love there. It can turn out to be really sweet once you comitted to it.
yeah but it's frustrating talking about something you have a deep understanding of and seeing the other person's eyes glaze over. you don't just want them to like listening to you, you want them to UNDERSTAND, otherwise you're wasting your breath. smart people don't have to be with someone AS smart as them but they do need to be with someone capable of learning and understanding. i may not automatically know about electrical components or statistical analysis but i can at least keep up when he explains how they work. how much happier would this guy be if he was with someone who at least understood what "determines the energy expended by subatomic particles" means? how needlessly frustrating must it be to try and share your passion with someone who hears "subatomic particles" and goes "like underwater boats?"
Tell me miss vargas was your friend an asshole because you couldn't understand? Because I fall in the opposing end and it's a simple enough lesson for me, smart doesn't mean I need to look down on people. Everyone has gifts I don't even if it's not intellectual. This jackass doesn't, and somehow its the wife's fault.
Also it's possible to simplify complicated concepts.
I'm like that with my brother in law, my Dad and my best friend. They all work in specialized fields that I cannot grasp primarily because I have a learning disability involving math, time, spacial awareness, sense of direction etc and my bestie was studying biomechanchanical engineering.
I on the other hand studied the arts.
I'm not technically dumb in a sense, I have severe ADHD and a few learning disabilities. There's some things I can study religiously but my brain is literally unable to grasp...its like trying to fly. I'm actually quite smart but not in traditional skills or in the traditional ways that people associate with intelligence. I'm great in a pinch for obscure trivia on a vast veriety of topics and specialized information but ask me to do a math problem, read a non digital clock or give directions... I'm blank.
I joke I'm the dumbest smart person you could meet. Lol
Even though what my friends and family are talking about is complete gibberish to me completely beyond my grasp I'm trying to engage and ask questions. I like seeing people talk passionately about what they do. Luckily for me, my specialized skills are easily explained to people with visual demonstration and pictures so I rarely have this problem.
As a person who is a relatively good techie, I am not artistic. But bring in an interior designer to develop a paint and wallpaper plan and i can execute it as well as anybody. I just can't design it. I also have artwork that I enjoy, some of it by friends. However I can barely draw stick figures. My point is that we all cannot have every skill, but we can enjoy and benefit from the skills of others. Wouldn't ne rather boring if we were all the same?
That is absolutely tragic.
Silver lining though, I love watching House do this Sherlock thing. When he breaks down the diagnosis for everyone in the room, it's always entertaining.
House is literally medical Sherlock (House = Holmes, Watson = Wilson).
@@dietotakuwould you look at that! Never would’ve noticed but it’s plain as day
@@HaloHighlightz Isnt it?? Its something that completely flew over my head as a kid, and only really realized it when I watched hbomberguy's video on the BBC Sherlock series. This show is full of great callbacks and homages to the stories that inspired it, but honestly it's built its own brand of deductive reasoning and story telling that calling it a mere adaptation isn't covering everything wonderful this show itself has built on and inspired itself!
He’s literally the reason I got into computer diagnostics/IT. I watched this as a kid and loved that mystery solving aspect of it. Though I never wanted to go to med school I was into computers. This show literally created my career lmao
@@HaloHighlightz Same.
"It's too hard to think?"
"No, just unpleasant."
Think people are missing the point here. People with an extraordinarily high IQ are disabled in a way. Its not just about finding it harder to relate to others. There's the over thinking that causes anxiety and most of the time the high IQ score is a symptom of some mental disability. The man isn't being arrogant- people with high IQs are oftrn homeless or institutionalized due to their inability to integrate into society.
Or forced to dump themselves for the sake of society. If a 7 year old knows words only those in high academic settings know there’s a ‘ problem’ . How do I know? I was that 7 year old. Next thing I know I was on compliance pills I mean ADHD pills .

@@andreasanchez1453 yup, the disadvantages and the advantages. Being bullied, shunned, shamed, put down, ignored, misunderstood, etc... and doing 12th grade work in 5th grade. Then being a "failed" gifted kid because it was a requirement to know your months 😭 I'm still salty
The Unabomber, on paper, was an absolute genius. Borderline Hawking level.
No I think that’s just u
The phrase "Great knowledge causes great suffering" plays with new colors here
People with a high IQ tend to have a hard time with human connection, they are socially awkward and worst of all they overthink like crazy, and it’s painful. That level of overthinking hurts and can cause true mental illness. He just wanted to be ordinary because it was easier that way and I don’t blame him.
Elon musk for example. He’s pretty weird and awkward in public and looks like he over thinks everything he says
@@MaddoxMelton But not when he tweets, apparently. Plus, i don't get all this talk about the guy being a genius introvert, while he keeps spamming children between different women like some prize bull. He might be an IT prodigy, but a chap running a 3some with famous actresses is quite far from a definition of an introvert.
me: higher than average (but not crazy high) iq, socially awkward, overthinks everything, and i wont lie ive done dxm several times now and its wonderful. but im aware of the risks involved so i just smoke weed. when i smoke im not awkward anymore, it actually makes me very extroverted and talkative. i stop overthinking things, i have an easier time talking about stuff im going through with friends, makes me more creative (i have no creativity sober), and its relaxing which is nice because i have pretty bad anxiety but i dont take benzos
@@MaddoxMelton I have a hard time believing that he's some genius. I think he leans heavily on the people who work for him. He just happens to have an enormous ego and too much money.
Yeah, I have a friend who has 167 IQ, he is an asperges, does not know how to act socially but he is a overall amazing person, its always interesting to hear him explain things. I'm
For a guy like him I think a good challenge is coming with ways to explain all his 'doodles' to people who aren't as smart as him.
The only way that comes to mind is the average Max0r video.
This is a skill that takes a lot of work as well as specific gifts in teaching. Not everyone has it. If he's mathematically more gifted than verbally gifted it might be too difficult for him.
A former lecturer once told our class a story about teaching mentally challenged people some basic operative skills. This was in the context of teaching us about algorithms in a CS class. One of the things was teaching them how to put coins into a vending machine. So he taught this one guy how to put coins in the slot and then press the button to get the item, etcetera. Later on the guy became very frustrated with a vending machine that had the coin slot in the opposite orientation (horizontal versus vertical). He accidentally taught the guy one specific way of getting the coin into the slot, instead of a general algorithm of putting the coin into the slot.
Gifted teachers, through talent and through practice, know these lessons and are able to appropriately dumb down for the audience while still getting the key points across and without teaching bad ideas that would hinder further understanding. This is not an easy task. It is helped by cognitive empathy (either from personal experience as a learner, or from experience teaching to learners).
For extremely hyper-gifted people, to get that degree of cognitive empathy from personal experience, they have to go back in their minds to when they were at the level of the person they are teaching to. This is difficult enough for older people of regular intelligence who have to go back a couple of decades. Terrence Tao, a super-genius, was doing double digit multiplication at the age of 2. I've read that he's also a very good college professor, but you can't expect every super-genius to be so.
That gets old fast.
“There is no better way to learn than to teach” - Benjamin Whichcote, Dean of King’s College
This dude is so far up his ass, it’s crazy that so many people think he’s a sympathetic character. Some of the smartest people or professors I’ve ever known would light up the room with their happiness if I showed a genuine interest in their work, even if I was completely clueless. They’d take the time to explain it to me, as a complete rookie, so that I could be as excited about it too. This guy has a wife that loves him to death and would obviously spend as much time as it took to learn how to appreciate his work, and he could easily try and make friends with people in the same field if he wanted “intelligent” conversation.
He’s not a genius trapped by his own mind, he’s an emotionally unintelligent narcissist who thinks being learned makes him detached from being human, and one that takes drugs to try and ignore the fact that he’s just really dumb at the emotional side of being a person.
You’d think House fans would get that considering that’s literally House’s entire character arc, but no, he’s somehow a tragic figure
yeah no... ever tried to teach you cat calculus? no? wonder why.
Leaving out House bringing in a bottle of Cough Syrup hurts. It was an amazing scene.
My cousin seems average, she has a very thriving social life. When you talk to her, you'd never guess she has something extra. Until she does something impossible, some type of mind trick. I'd say she has photographic memory and probably a very high IQ. Ever since I found out , I've started watching her more when she's around her peers, and I really see a lot of dumbing down and listening to people even when she's already found the solution...
She's masking, which is a useful tool for getting by butt it is extremely draining and the effects are cumulative
Keep an eye on her, make sure she's taking time to decompress regularly, because being 30ish and hitting your breaking point is not healthy. It can cause a lot of physical ailments, I'd personally recommend regular therapy, even before she needs it.
My genius cousin took on a Californian valley girl personality. We assumed she was a people pleaser and a perfectionist. Until she graduated college (engineering) and companies started outbid each other for her employment. 😊
@@getmotivated1707 I'm autistic but I didn't get diagnosed till I was 18, so up until that point I had grown accustomed to masking by reflex. Then I go and get a customer service job. It gets draining, keeping that up for 8 hours a day 5 days a week, plus social life.
To fit in, smart girls will try to look average pretty regularly. Meanwhile, average girls try to look prettier than they are. So no one really knows how much potential is lost.
@@carbine090909what does it matter how they look like? No one knows how much potential is lost no matter how they look like, pretty or not, because smart girls and woman are on the whole spectrum of attractiveness anyway, so them trying to look average doesn't hide them/their potential better/more.
The fact that Thirteen is walking around with a necklace dangling down her entire torso... They couldn't help themselves blinging her up.
How the average reddit user sees themself
Relax we all go the same grave...
What I don’t understand is how he fell in love with her in the first place? I know that sounds negative towards her, but it came across in the ep like he fell in love with her, then started abusing the cough syrup, and now he is back to “his normal”, she isn’t intelligent enough. If he was clean when he met her, how would she have tolerated her “lack of intelligence” (compared to him) in the first place?
I feel like she WAS his cough syrup, or at least she worked for a little while. Maybe the idea of being dumber making him happier came to him when he saw how happy SHE was since she's "dumb", he started investing time into being around "the dumb" and making himself "dumber", resulting in him falling for her in his dumb state, which in turn gave him the conclusion. "being dumb and being around dumb results in love and happiness".
Probably partially due to sex but mainly because that's how all drugs work. She was so different compared to his normal life she toned him down. But like all drugs, he got used to her. She became the normal, which wasn't enough anymore. He had to go further to still feel the way he wanted to.
He lays it out in the dialogue. He was looking for a simpler life, a way to escape the double-edged sword of living with the ability to see what others don't. At the end of this clip, he says he didn't find any comfort in relationships with people more in his range of intelligence. That's for a different reason--too much cynicism.
If I remember correctly he tried to kill himself but he only broke his ribs or something like that, he met her at the hospital under the anesthesia´s effects and that's where he realized he "enjoyed" life while being drugged.
In the episode he explains that the two of them met when he was hospitalised for a broken rib. He was given pain killers that had a similar dumbness effect and he realised how happy he was while with her and while on the drugs. He fell in love with her while he wasn’t ‘clear’ and started using the cough syrup and booze to replicate that feeling.
Holy crap, I have seen this episode several times and I just realised the name of the guy is the same or almost the same as William James Sidis who was once considered the smartest man alive.
I think that's the point
4:10 "I'm gonna pretend there's something interesting over here so you'll shut up." Chase really is House 2.0.
It's kinda sad that someone loses thier life that . Imagine being such an empty husk.

Most people are legit NPCs, or at least a good chunk of them. About 15% of people have 85 or lower. A large amount of people also have no internal monologue. No thoughts beyond whats happening directly in front of them.
When you love someone, you adapt. I think she would be more than willing to put a few hours in every day to have private tutoring learning about things he loves. The secret ingredient is love and love is taking the extra steps
You don't need a 170 I.Q. to Kama Sutra. Just saying.
"I think she would be more than willing to put a few hours in every day to have private tutoring learning about things he loves."
It's one thing to say you know nothing about cars and your partner is a mechanic, or your partner is a huge hockey fan while you've never watched a game in your life. Those are gaps you can close.
Someone with a sub-100 IQ is never going to understand extremely advanced scientific concepts, no matter how much they might want to.
@@jliller sure but the point is in the effort
@@FioreCiliegia Effort alone is not enough.
@@jlillerBut by doing it, and teaching her things, he could eventually dumb it down to a point that she understands.
Intelligence is a gift and a curse. Learning to live with it is difficult, learning to share it with others is even harder
@Muhammedlee all words are useless. We just add meaning to them so that people understand what were talking about
@Muhammedlee Technically intelligence does have an overall basic definition. "The ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills." Now the definition itself is still broad but technically intelligence can be defined. I guess it just depends on how somebody acquires knowledge and skills and applies them. Everybody can do that to some degree but you can't call everybody intelligent.
@Muhammedlee Well at that point you'd be just playing around with semantics and getting nowhere. True, calling someone intelligent is very broad, but a categorization that works well for what it's used for. A genius musician is not necessarily a genius mathematician, but both have observable traits that can be measured. Both are intelligent, in different ways. The meaning of the word still gets across to most people. You can call Einstein a genius and Beethoven a genius, and people would get what you mean, even though Einstein never composed masterpieces, and Beethoven never published theoretical physics.
You can be more specific, which you would do if you were, well, being more specific. But the original word "intelligent" can still be used to accurately describe both examples I gave. If for whatever reason "intelligent" isn't a word you'd use to describe either of them in a broad sense, then perhaps your brain works a little differently than the average person.
Neurodivergent as a term yeah
When I hear a person talk about someone else being "gifted," it's frustrating.
The "gift" they're talking about is just raw potential... But that potential still has to be built into a functional and happy life.
"Gifted" people aren't handed a happy life, or the blueprints to build a happy life, or the SKILLS to execute on those blueprints even if they had them.
They're just given more material to work with than the average person.
I had a high IQ before a brain injury.
Neurologist says she KNOWS I'm smart but can't THINK well anymore.
It's like the hard drive is full but the processor is damaged.
That's rough
Sounds like bs
I am the king of Oman bow down before me mortal.
I'm sorry. This sucks. I had a head injury a while back and although I was never officially diagnosed with anything, everything was harder for a long time. I don't think it fully got better, but I'm at the point where I've learnt techniques to be more organized and do most of what I'd stopped being able to do and things that haven't gotten better don't prevent me from living a life I like. I hope things get better for you.
@@BlancheNeigefan thank you for your kind words. I'm glad you are better.
Intelligence can isolate someone from the rest of the world
I am nowhere near as smart as he is, but I also was the "local prodigy" in a town. And the pressure of perform, the expectations that nothing is enough "This is good, but what is next", it caused me a deep depression for years.
I totally understand why someone with 100 times that pressure would decide to quit it all together and be happy.
At the end of the day, we are all going to die and in your deathbed you won't be remembering that year that you published 3 papers instead of 2.
As the saying goes, "Better happy and stupid than the other way around."
3 doctors spent more time and energy diagnosing this one surly patient than any single person I know has accumulated in their lifetime.
Ignorance is bliss and it's true... look around objectively you'll see things in such bleak way....
Yup. Would love to disagree, but that's simply the truth. The most dumb people I've met were also the happiest.
Indeed, there is actually a direct correlation in depression and nihilism the smarter a person is. Basically you get to a point where you start to really need meaning out of existence when there isn't much of any. It becomes harder to enjoy simple things or have meaningful conversation with those less knowledgeable, which makes you more lonely and longing for the connection that is hard for you to have.
Luckily there are better ways to treat this and depending on where you live you can find like minded individuals more easily
And we must fight to fix things. Now get up. Never surrender.
I wish I was blissfully unaware of how stupid I am ..but I'm painfully aware of mistake and things that I can't do..
There is a reason as kids most of us didn't have to try to be happy it just came natural. But as you get older you learn more and more about the world and it just gets hard sometimes.
Yes, having a high IQ can be a problem. Way to fix it? Be humble. Sure, he knows many, many things she doesn't, but I can bet she knows stuff he has no idea about as well. A genius can look at someone like Richard Feynman or Albert Einstein and learn a lot.
A favorite of mine, "For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow." or ignorance is bliss.
I swear, Wilson should have gotten like 1/4 of the money that House got for GIVING House the ideas 1/4th of the time to figure out his patient's problem(s) lmao.
The one thing that aggravates me with this channel is the fact that they put their subscribe logo on the center of the screen at the end of the episode. I’m already subscribed, just let me pause the damn episode at the end so I can pick which one I want to binge next.
If someone is looking for the next Einstein,you can find 20 in this comment section😂😂😂
9:37 Nowhere near this guy's level, but I relate so much to this ...
I knew a guy who was intelligent like this....well, not quite, but close. I am smarter than average. The guy liked me because I could kinda almost keep up with him. He seemed quite lonely. He had a good job and was well to do. He had flings with women, but you could tell he just couldn't connect with them. I felt a little sorry for him, and a little glad I wasn't that kind of smart. He was always a few moves ahead of me. I did like the guy, he was cool. He moved on at one point, and I still miss him.....neither of us are good at keeping up with people. But it is amazing....it's like he lived in a world of chimpanzees sometimes. Average folks.....got lost around him. And it was never intentional. But yeah....I can get this guy's viewpoint. Just to feel normal.
The eye-roll at 2:55! I didn't catch it first time but it makes sense. the attention to detail is so good
if i were to try this, my IQ would increase to 0
Is that you, Lauren Boebert?
The most unbelievable part of this episode is publishing 35 papers before 17 lololol. Did he start when he was -27? Its not even about being smart. The process of getting peer reviewed and published takes some time.
He bombed multiple papers at once
This is so true, it’s hard to explain to commoners like you all
Nothing says I have a high IQ like owning a youtube account to watch clips of House 😁👍
Intelligence is a blessing and a curse.
Ignorance is definitely bliss.
Sometimes having a high IQ leads to depression and a ton of pessimism
I don't recall Einstein being that much of an emo.
@@TheBermudaMan He was a raging alcoholic, possessed an inability to understand others to the point of being insensitive and unpleasant to be around, and thought to have been on the spectrum. Overall, he was an outgoing introvert that didn't understand that he made everyone uncomfortable, and being one of the few case studys where the negatives of autism actually helped him.
@@julianskilton200 I think you and I have different perceptions of the word "emo."
@@TheBermudaMan I didn't say he was? I said he didn't develop depression, pessimism, or "emo" because he didn't see the problem that would cause it. Essentially, ignorance is bliss.
I suspect that in such cases depression is a self- protecting mechanism. Like a thick insulating layer of foam to reduce the thinking and feeling to bearable levels. To be normal.
People seem to think that being smart is enough. A lot of times it isn't. A lot of us don't have ambition. Some of us do have ambitions and are hyper-self-critical.
Not everyone wants to live in a mansion and spend all their time working. Some of them just want a simple life.
Never agreed so much with a statement in my entire life.
Best show ever made
"and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow"
I can totally understand why he'd rather be happy than smart. Totally understand.
So many people don't get it.
They're not mutually exclusive.
@@JimBob1937 Gotta argue. There's smart, horse sense, street smarts, then there's the IQ stuff. The IQ stuff... It sets you apart. It really does.
@@artfuldodger7838 , not sure what my IQ is, but pretty certain a few people I crossed paths with (including a guy who had my degree in addition to a few other advanced ones) had pretty high IQs, and they were fairly happy in their life. Of course, this is assuming some level of honesty in our discussions, but they were generally pretty forthright. With more intelligence usually follows more knowledge, and the two tends to make one more aware of certain depressing aspects of our world. Yet, happiness is more dependent with how you cope with such things, not whether or not you’re aware of them.
Or even just rather be happy than unhappy I used to do a lot of dxm for the same reason
All the guy has to do is watch less Rick and Morty, and he'll be fine in no time.
What?
No, he should watch it all the time. That way he'll feel smart instead of actually being smart.
To be fair, you need to have a very high iq to watch Rick and Morty because... copypasta
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humor is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Rick's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation - his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realize that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick and Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick's existencial catchphrase "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon's genius unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools... how I pity them. 😂 And yes by the way, I DO have a Rick and Morty tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.
I hate that show...
I've always wondered how this patient's IQ and House's IQ stack up against each other.
"When asked in a 2004 interview with The New York Times what his IQ is, Hawking gave a curt reply: "I have no idea. People who boast about their IQ are losers.""
On the One hand being this smart is a blessing in itself, but yeah being with someone you can't really share that with is well... it's sad.
Wife was bangin’
I’m 137.
I feel pretty fucking clever most of the time… also pretty fucking alone.
I can’t even imagine being that smart.
You may as well be on the moon.
The social ostracization of intelligent people is self-driven--people who want to be smart use IQ as a system of measurement for intellect; truly smart people embrace the idea of acquired knowledge. The number of anxiety/depression riddled, high-IQ burn-outs illustrates that point well.
Atleast he realised he is the jerk.
Bahhahahahahhah worst part you can have social conversation with serial killer than set down at the same table with one these trust it's all comes to the way people raised .... Coming from experience
9:09
She has an IQ of 87?!
Extreme way of making the point, but I don't necessarily disagree with the overall point. I'm of average intelligence and in the past I've dated a few people on perhaps the lower side of average and its not worked out. One was a great person and one was a bit of a tool (many reasons why that didn't go very far) but I personally do not like being completely in the driving seat. Too much power / say isn't comfortable for me personally. Nowhere near saying I'm better or the first one wasn't a great person - just saying the dynamic wasn't to my taste.
I was reading at the age of 3 but it might have been because of memory but now I can't even remember the books.
The average whats to be extraordinary but the extraordinary what to be average.
Studies have shown connections between higher IQ individuals and risk of addiction. I was blessed with a high IQ, high propensity to addiction, and even higher general anxiety. I distinctly remember choosing to be 'dumber' at a young age. Speaking less, choosing dumber words, and getting into weed/booze. Closer to the truth, I was choosing to feel less social anxiety, reduce others' expectations of me, and maybe form a real human connection.. When, most of the time, I felt isolated. As an adult, it's been an arduous process toward self acceptance and celebration.
Lots of countries are deeply anti-intellectual too, like the US and the UK. In a lot of schools you'll get bullied or ostracized if you come across as too smart
In a sense yup. I'm an example. Born with an incurable medical condition and so while kids were playing with each other outside, I was stuck in. So I decided to fiddle with Technology (more software side)+ Science and think with Philosophy. I then got so much better then the average person. At times when I get asked for tech help I think "what an easy solution, are they really that dumb"? Sure rude, but being honest. Statically the smarter you are, the more miserable you tend to be or at least to a degree.
Bro bagged him a baddie
0:44 "don't be like that" is weird
UMN's?
As someone that used to be addicted to dxm , I saw the signs right away , he does it with other active ingredients tho, I never did that kind.
This is what the term 'wicked smart' means.
House had doctors breakigninto people's homes. Wild.
i feel this guy
9:05 dude lost me with this piece of dialogue. Comparing his wife to a wild animal?
I bet he isn't lonely because he's smart, it's because his arrogance and condescension at his normal state puts off most people he meets.
Well , it's sort of true. I mean people get freaky all the time.
it's a terrible relationship he should get out of. she doesn't even try to understand, he doesn't even try to explain in layman's terms and acts crestfallen when she looks confused after the technical jargon doesn't land.
So, in simpleton terms, this guy is just lonely.

Is that bucket tray thing full of water at 1:05??? It looks like it’s filled to the brim or has a weird clear lid. Maybe it’s wrapped in plastic to keep it sterile?????
Sponge bath.
I had a ferret that had to have a splenectomy.... Had a tumor that caused the spleen to become 16x it's proper size in less than three days. My husband panicked and I had to take his keys away from him and then drive like an idiot while he panicked in the passenger seat. She did great though and lived another 6.5 years. We miss her dearly.
EDIT: I should also mention he took the day off for her surgery but not for mine 🙄🤦🏼♀️😂🤣
William James Sidis Nice Tribute
12 years and counting. Method works.
Shame. My son is super intelligent "Autistic" I feel inferior daily. He told me im not educated enough to have a conversation with him. Its not good for them either, he hates how his brain works, he struggles socially & just seeps up information he researches all day. One day when he is ready he will do well, but it is very hard trying to comminicate with him.
Well he’s rude.
And I’m autistic too. And crazy smart.
Us, on the spectrum can be logistical geniuses and emotional idiots. It can take decades sometimes to find a mature balance and even then it can be difficult sometimes. I imagine for neurotypical people it's at least a tad frustrating when theres a two hour tangent on the complex workings of a computer from 1980 to 2000 vs forgetting that an obvious fluctuation in someone's voice might mean something

@@pokemagetech He may seem rude & arrogant to people who dont know him, he is very blunt & honest.we are working on that,
@@sockruhtease Yes, you just explained my life! he is 17 so im used to it, as a mum I get sad & concerned at times but it doesnt last long. The lack of social skills is something he will learn a bit better although i constantly tell him to be careful when he is replying as it can be un kind & hurtful, now he appologises beforehand.
Anybody notice that the picture on the book is deceased actor Jonathon Brandis (It, Never-ending Story II and SeaQuest DSV? I think it's in poor taste to use a picture of actor who committed suicide.
he's literally me
I feel this way with society. I'm no genius by any means and should not be made to feel like one. However people any more are so dumb I feel smart on a regular basis. This saddens me. I'm just smart enough to know I'm dumb too but not dumb enough to be ignorant of it and happy. Just smart enough to hate everyone. Yaay.
I wonder if this was a tribute to William James Sidis :)
That reminds me of the "minusIQ" video :)
I have no idea what my IQ is (prolly just normal). I would love to be ignorant, a happy dumbo. Makes things easier
knowing your IQ doesn't change what your IQ is, so being ignorant of it doesn't serve any purpose (though it's possible finding it out also serves no purpose)
@@quarepercutisproximum9582 not being ignorant of my IQ, but just being ignorant of everything. You know, "Ignorance is bliss"
Silverado, Joey, when the dr did the scan it showed an incredible amount of brain activity for someone who was not awake in any sense *branbury)
The most stupidest narcissistic premise I've ever seen.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He's too smart for her
Its quite exhausting seeing everything and all the details people cant seem to see the whole picture they either see one corner or the center always fighting for a narrow point of view
Big brain
Most people can relate to someone that has the same IQ level as they do you usually find that they make good partners if one is higher than the other it’s usually a problem
That was actually a piece of advice my dad gave me in my younger years. Always try to find a partner, who's on your level .
Otherwise it won't work. He was so right!
Well I hate to break it to you that's not always accurate, I married a Man who has got a very high IQ well above where I could even dream of having and we have been married 10 years. It's a matter of respect not IQ..
@@queenpinkysfamily1618 most people like to have an intelligent conversation
@@Jane5720 People that smart have lots of others just as smart they talk with, unfortunately some with that level of IQ have no respect for others and treat them inappropriately because they think they can just because they are smarter...
@@koppsr From what I have heard. the army has a guideline that a commander shouldn't be more than 30 points higher IQ than his troops - because he will have real trouble relating to them enough to command them.
The comment section has too many people who are convinced they are secret intellectual who can relate to the guy.
I find it hilarious
eh you dont know for sure
@@EpicFableBean we know😂😂
Hmm... it's almost like a football game attracting comments from the fans of the two teams involved.
His name must be a reference to William James Sidis
Soda popinski was a tough opponent in punch out.
Sometimes, the worst pressure doesnt come from anyone else. It comes from yourself. And then you are stuck between two situations: either you sacrifice your dreams for your life, and be miserable knowing you never used your full capabilities, or you sacrifice your life for your dreams, knowing that you would never have a normal life.
Either way, misery. So now its the trolley problem. Impact many lives, or impact a few lives?
“He’s stroking” Doctor said calmly
Edit: OMG GUYS TYSM FOR THE LIKES!
“Mommeh I’m famous”💅🏻
Actually, calm IS what they say or do. Especially if there are non-medical staff in the room. Because if the med staff panics, the other people panic more and stuff happens.
Shouting codes and running around is part of the medical drama. It's not only firmly discouraged in hospitals, its also grounds for reprimand.
Get the referance lol
I was today years old when I learned that
I was kinda like referring to the Goblet of Fire book it’s funny cuz it says Dumbledore said calmly and in the movie he’s like furious😂
He loves her so much
this reminds me of charlie gordon and alice' s relationship after he got the surgery
This is everybody on r/iamverysmart
he's like me fr fr
is it me or its the same actor that played the dad that refused to talk in the clinic ?? i mean the bookstore owner
This episode feels like it was written by a redditor - or maybe even a Rick and Morty fan.
Hey now, Rick and Morty is good, just shouldn't take it too seriously as a show. Even the writers said a lot of what they did was just because they thought it was funny. Never understood the fans that thought there was some deep meaning embedded in it.
How did this episode end? What happened with the smart guy and the wife? Thanks.
If I remember correctly, he decided to keep dumbing himself down just to stay happy with his wife. So they discharged him from the hospital because he didn't want to live and cope with his actual intelligence.
so dude is the ultimate simp.
"Is there no place in this world for a man with 105 IQ?" - - Homer Simpson
Some of you don't seem to actually understand what he's going through. I have a 140IQ and i did used to wonder if it was a gift or a curse. My therapist explained it to me this way: Problems are like mazes, and because of the way I think, I can have something of top down view, which allows me to see the maze clearly and navigate it easily. Now that would be a good thing if i can do everything by myself, but unfortunately i can't, so now i'm stuck with waiting for others to clear that same maze that i've just breezed through. I can either sit at the end and wait, or go back and help them clear it, both which require alot of patience. And to the fact that most people don't like the help (impatience and frustration seeping through, and some interpret the help as showing off or arrogance), and you can see how it becomes a social dilemma that happens on a daily basis.
I have since accepted it as a gift, mostly.
do you find that when talking to most people, that you have to spend more time explaining the statement you just said, than the actual statement: and then feel annoyed after it happens a couple times and just decide to tone down your vernacular for the rest of the interaction, or just get more and more quiet until its over?
The worst part of it is the overthinking..
sides, not very subtle but a fine episode
This episode was probably written by a redditor
i'm gonna say definitely. some writer who got described as gifted as a child to then realise he was just a bit quicker than the other kids, but still thinks he's some Einstein.
'becoming smart and doodling nuclear reactors for fun' is what i'd expect from an episode of jimmy neutron or the big bang theory, or rick and morty.
9:09 For those wondering, his IQ is 178, taking the reference there of 91 points, her IQ is 87.
Average US IQ seems to be 97.4, average global seems to be around 85 to 115.
No, it's around 103. You just googled if for a quick answer, but the fact is that there is no "average" on anything in IQ. It's too malleable to be measured. It's just something to boast.
@@no_one01-5 , well, IQ is actually normalized to 100. That is why 100 is the mean. When comparing countries, the sampled scores are collected per country and then re-centered to a global average of 100, for comparison. Most sources put the US at 97, but some go a little higher. It isn't too useful to argue over 100 plus/minus a couple of points since that is just measurement error close to the mean.
Dunno why people like this episode. Dude was drawing diagrams on a piece of paper of some complex nuclear mechanism or whatever because he was bored. This isn't how smart people go around their lives. You're not like "oh I'm bored let me build a patented retro encabulator that can provide inverse reactive current for use in unilateral phase retractors but is also capable of automatically synchronizing cardinal gram meters". None of that makes sense by the way and is just technobabble gibberish.
The writers couldn't have made a more stereotypical character than this one
