this is how every dude that uses reddit sees himself
i actually died over this
Bravo!!
@Julia Mimi House was a good show, but some scenes had some cheese writing forced into them
i think im in love with this comment
Also, Quora ;)
Knew a guy like this in college. A real mousy little kid who, unbeknownst to all the rest of us, also happened to be some super genius. In fact, I kind of thought he was stupid for a while. He never got his driver's license, and whenever I'd ask why, he'd just say "I won't need one." He never had a girlfriend as far as I knew, and would spend all his free time playing Dota. Still, dude was chill af, and he had the biggest dorm so we'd hang out at his place. It went like that for about 2 years. Then, out of nowhere, the guy disappears! Doesn't tell anybody and no one knows where he's gone (this was before Myspace and Facebook). A week or two go by and we all think he quit or got expelled or something when he shows back up in town. Obvi we all get together and ask him where tf he's been and what he's doing back. He says that he's just back to pick up his computer and that's he leaving again the next day. I ask him where he's going, and he just turns to me and goes "Sweden." My immediate response is "Wtf you doing in Sweden?"
Turns out this little kid had been enrolled in some military rocket engineering course for like three years straight, the ENTIRE time we'd known him! None of us ever talked about classes or nothing so I no one ever knew. Apparently, he'd managed to score a free ride to some crazy military engineering project in Europe, where he was allowed to CHOOSE where he was stationed. Where'd he choose? Sweden. Why? Well, according to him, it's because "Sweden has the best ping."
This mfer joined the military as a rocket engineer, did four whole years in college and left the country so he could have better internet to fcking play Dota. The best part? Boy asked me for a ride to his parents place to pick up some of his stuff. I asked if he had his license yet. Dude just shakes his head and goes "Told you I wouldn't need one." To this day, I have never respected a mfer so damn much
I bet his favorite hero is Invoker 😂
Sounds familiar. Good on him.
Invoker main right there
What a fucking legend lmao!
I hope you stayed in touch with him😂
"Have you ever tried to kill yourself?"
"Not quickly!"
Best line-response pair in the clip.
Probably true, though I also really enjoyed House's quip about what happened to his face (3:21).
Yeah, only every day for the last 20 or so years...still here tho
He's being brutally honest
The fun part about this that we can even do it subconsciously. Seek high risk, engage excessively in unhealthy lifestyle choices like food and alcohol - I'm sure that when you put people on the spot they mostly know that what they are doing isn't good for themselves, but they do it anyway - my guess at least some of those behaviours are escapism paired with the hope for the ulitmate escape.
One that I have said before the show even came out. Just gifted not genius. This episode does hit a few not so pleasant high notes.
My brother has an IQ of 164 Stanford-Binet and a Phd in maths. I once asked him if he wondered what it would be like to be even more intelligent than he is right now and he said something that will always stick with me: "No, I'm miserable enough as it is" which came as a shock as he's always came across as a very sociable and happy person; a true and upsetting insight into his inner world.
By the 4th grade I had an i.q of 164 everyone expects so much from you it starts weighing you down I dumbed myself down with marijuana by middle school because everyone would go "you're so smart why don't you do this" or "you should be doing this with your intelligence" not letting me just be a kid or do what I wanted to
The problem with the world is they want geniuses to fix the world instead of fixing the idiots in the world, they want to pass the work onto people without thinking of what it'll do to them
How tf did you get 164 IQ?
Imagine being the smartest person having to work with a bunch of incompetent co-workers. It would feel like you're the only grown-up in the room. The only person getting any real work done. That would be infuriating. Now imagine that everyone you deal with in your life is far less intelligent than you are. It would seem like the entire world doesn't function properly.

Love how house feels relieved when Chase explains he wasn't actually mad when he punched him, it was just the more logical solution to his problem, he must have been worried that Chase was actually so angry as to punched him.
yeah it was simple social tactics and House respected it
Most people watching this: "I can relate to him struggel, noone knowsed how hardy it is to bee a jenius"

You can be a genius without knowing how to spell. My grandpa never finished school but he was really smart. My dad was lucky enough to go to finish school and go to uni. Now he works at NASA. Ignorance =/= stupidity

Being stupid is hard because you never know what's going to happen next. Being smart is hard because everyone around you is like a dumbass.

Buddhafollower He’s right. Subatomic particles do exist. Here’s a link to prove it. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subatomic_particle
I love that pretty much the first thing the patient said was "Just because I am smarter than you doesn't mean i know everything you know," which is what House most needs reminding of.
After seeing dr house 3 times I became interested in medicine and pharmacology and ended up addicted to opioids. thank you dr house

I manifested myself a bad right knee just like House. I even use my cane the same way House uses his. I already had the opiate addiction. So win win.
"I'm so smart I can't actually simplify the functions of this machinery to explain to a normal person."
Do you enjoy dumbing everything you enjoy down for every person you meet? Especially when they show as much interest as she did? It's like going to a party with people you don't know, what do you even talk about.
And then some people take offense or feel patronized whenever you try to explain shit to them.
I don't think the premise is ridiculous.
Just think about it not as him being r/iamverysmart, but as you trying to share your passion for whatever you like with people who have 0 interest in it.
@@Gatitasecsii If you want someone to understand, especially if they show an interest, you put in the effort to teach them. He's essentially going at the hardest difficulty level of a game and throwing her in it when she's never played before.
You cannot build a tower without foundations.
@@Gatitasecsii Then why would you say that she showed interest if she has none in the end?
@@BeeWaifu I mean, yeah at first she was like "omg wat r u drawing?" and then she realized it was something she didn't care at all. Did you watch the clip?
@@Gatitasecsii I did. You implied she seemed interested. You didn't give the full context of your example.
The issue is not that she's a dumbass, it's that it's a subject she doesn't care about. Yes, there are idiots, but just because something isn't what you like doesn't mean you're a dumbass.
Even a 'genius' can be a dumbass when they're confronted with something they aren't interested in and never looked at.
"If you can't explain it to a child, you don't know it well enough yourself."
It's not that he can't explain it, it's possible he's just frustrated about HAVING to explain it not-stop. It's also very possible that he's somewhere on the spectrum, people with genius level intellect are more commonly on the spectrum as opposed to people who aren't. Combine his frustration with her below average intellect, his genius level intellect, his depression, and his possible position on the spectrum, and voila. You get this.
@@l8dawn I'm perfectly calm? It's just a basic explanation.
@@l8dawn He is calm. He's just giving a breakdown of the guy.
Always go with "Explain it as if you were talking to a child"
tecs513 why would he have to explain stuff to everyone? Just explain shit to whoever is asking. Just tell them it’s a device, that does something.
I’m not even sure I know why, but the phrase “I was mowing the lawn when the phone rang” is one of the funniest lines from anything I’ve ever heard. I can’t even pinpoint why it tickles me so much lmao
you're probably high bro
He answered the lawn mower
There's an old joke about a burned ear and the person says "I was ironing and the phone rang". This is a twist on that - perhaps to explain a black eye instead of a burn, or perhaps just to be more ridiculous.
@@notme222 thanks as non native english speaker I'd never fully have understood the joke
Well, I find it hilarious because it immediately conjures up in my mind the rememberance of things that have gone oh so terribly lol wrong. to me. by me. The old dropping something like a glass and then grabbing grabbing for it catching it batting it around trying to get a grip on it, maybe tripping in the process and also yeah bumping my head. Oh. yeah. and the glass winds up on the floor broken. And all that is left to do is stare and breathe and marvel that it wasn't worse. lol
I had a friend like this. The solution for him was dancing. The isolation is the curse of intelligence. Dancing is motion that body’s find together, a kind of togetherness that is separate from any conversation. He could find connection through the motion, his self reflected in others and others reflected in him.
That's why exercise is so helpful for depression and anxiety. It removes you from your head and into the world.
I have a friend that has found the exact same outlet, the most intelligent person I've ever met, must have an IQ of 170+, he loves dancing as well and I've always found that amusing
That is profoundly beautiful.
There are honestly a lot of ways to cope with being smarter than other people. Dancing is a really good one--finding ways to connect with people that don't require them to match your brain power. Intellligent people can also direct some of that intelligence into developing social skills, patience, EQ, kindness, ways to help others up. Some of it can also go into cultivating inner spirituality, healthy grounding, and peace. Or learning how to appreciate what other people do bring to the table, when intelligence isn't one of those things. By diversifying interests, one can get good enough at a lot of things to connect with people over things they're passionate about, but not so good one leaves them completely behind. Basically, in my experience, a lot of the isolation and frustration intelligence brings often actually come from overspecialization, and from choosing to look down on others. One can mitigate that by diversifying one's own areas of interest; and by releasing expectations of others and instead learning compassion, appreciation, and patience.
Isolation isn't a curse when you have plenty to be thinking about.

@Mr WasHere According to what statistics? Being smart is a pain in the ass, a smart person can not be happy in this life. And that's a fact.
Given the information portrayed at the beginning of the episode, this fictional character was the youngest person to graduate from MIT, has an IQ of 178, published 3 books and 35 paper before the age of 18. If in correspondence to real life standards? No. No this guy is SCARY intelligent. Without debate.

178 and he said his wife was 91 points below him??
He went with someone below average?? That honestly sounds like hell to me
@@brattrox2939 Exactly. The world is full of 105 people and a genius picks an 87-pointer and complains about it? People don't start getting miserable because of intelligence until much higher ranges.
If you have 178 IQ you don't really see diffirence between 91 and 105.
@@henrykkaufman1488 I disagree. A person with an IQ of 87 isn't even capable of having complex conversations whatsoever on politics or science, etc. A person with an IQ of 100 is more likely to be engaged and well-read on certain topics

At 3:40 he realized just how smart House was and how miserable he is. What a moment.
It's more that he picks up on House as someone who alienates people around him due to his way of thinking, recognises that they are both "broken" in the same way.
(a key point of the show is that that all of House's bad behaviours are totally something he could overcome, but people tolerate them for the sake of keeping the golden goose around, this guy recognised that, and took himself out of the game so no one would have any incentive to keep him smart and "productive".)
The talk with Chase and House at the end is one of my favorite interactions and growth moments in the show.

@Rachel J He called himself out on that in that very conversation. He feels more arrogant and dreary when he's more intelligent, and he wants to stop that.
@Rachel J Yes, but plenty of people don't realise that. It's not just intelligence either, it's any characteristic someone has that makes them feel different to anyone else. It feels very lonely, but as you said it doesn't have to be.
@Rachel J lmao it does, actually!
But I am very smart. When I was in school they put me in special education! I must've been too smart for all those silly math questions, they had me play with blocks instead.
When he said house's intelligence wasn't like his, I laughed. House is always on drugs.
His problem is not intelligence; his problem is that he is depressed with a feeling of extreme loneliness, and his intelligence just allows him to find more creative ways than most people to be miserable.
Exactly
The geniuses I have known get super excited at the thought of sharing their knowledge it's usually frustrating when people don't want to listen or there isn't enough time.
That is where the depression comes from. So few have the aptitude or attitude to love ideas for their own sake.
And what of the geniuses who didn't want to explain and so left when they knew you were coming? How did they feel?

@@spongmongler6760 ah never fucking mind dude. I just meant his character was written to have a genius level intellect. And for a character of that level of brain power to be believable in a show, the writers need to be just as smart. In this case, they are clearly not. They are writers, and really good ones, but they have no undersranding of how such prodiges would behave in real life. Now if he was written by Nikola Tesla, or Einstein, im sure the character would make much more sense.
Once a smart person said: "Sometimes My Genius... It's Almost Frightening."
I thought it generated its own gravity.

That's what really smart people do for fun. At least I do.

My best friend (before he passed) was into this stuff. He would take 2 bottles a day before even coming over. He was a philosophy guy like myself and eventually became obsessed with insane ideas about magic and the darkness. Soon he was seeing people and I realized he was taking these pills before he'd arrive at my house; I found the empty bottles in a Rite Aid bag. He was a good kid and I miss him.

"16 splenectomies. Pretty sure he gets a set of steak knives with that."
Underrated line
"You'd be surprised what you can live without" as House hobbles away. It's a heavy sentence from him.
This guy is actually one of the best developed House patient characters IMO. The whole point here was to have a character for one episode that House could identify with so that at the very end they could unexpectedly connect on a deep emotional level which helps House start to piece together his diagnosis. Simple enough idea, but the writers had to find a way to neatly compress the hallmarks of House's character into one guy that would only be around for one episode.
When you look at it from that perspective, they really couldn't have done a better job. That isn't an easy task. He was instantly abrasive and unlikable, but by the end we could start to relate to him and recognize his redeeming qualities. Brilliant writing for a basic, run-of-the-mill medical drama.
You're right. Dramatically, it makes perfect sense. It's just completely unrealistic. So it comes down to what you want to get out of the show. And frankly, anyone looking for realism in House is a bit... dumb.
House was never a basic, run-of-the-mill medical drama though.....
House relates him or his team to every patient. That's why he takes a patient. He sees a reflection of something he knows and clings on to it.
@@leivadaros indeed and as a matter of fact, I am shocked, hurt, and offended at the remark. Abysmal.
Eh, House was never a run of the mill medical drama. It was also never about the medical drama, it was about House, that is what's realistic and that is what the draw is.

@@r3ll282 Being smart and intelligent are basically synonyms, as far as I can tell.
Being wise, however, is another thing. You can be wise enough to know that an electric wire will shock you. Wisdom is accrued knowledge.
The speed and ease at which you learn these things , abstract concepts etc. is in turn dependent on you intelligence/smarts.
(not trying to nit-pick, these are just things I've run into a bunch studying psychology and IQ stuff, thought I'd share.)
I binge watched this show when I was younger so there was no I way I could have picked up on how great a listener House really was. He made the patients he cared enough to meet feel heard but also managed to pick up on some very important clues they would often disclose.
Hm, dunno, I think the greatest listener in that show is Wilson.
Intelligence is misery because you're enlightened to things beyond the understanding of your peers. You're then isolated and left with only knowledge for company.
Ignore the bullshit this case was, the fact that Chase is confident enough to punch his boss as a strategy and then telling House about it knowing he wouldn't be fired, knowing that House would actually appreciate that, is very cool
House had punched him earlier in the series. Then again this series had ridiculous scenarios that House would not get away with in real life.
It’s one of those scenes that makes it really obvious why Chase became the sort of House Jr. that he did at the end of the series. None of the others adapted to House’s style like Chase did. Foreman obviously became similarly bitter and apathetic for a bit, but Chase was the only one who really started pulling the strings like House did.
Weirdly enough, House was a ride or die in his really weird, House way
total bs to fit his whole personality dxm is like ketamine and it doesn't make you dumb or do any of that,a medical show should be accurate about medicine
@@mephostopheles3752 Foreman only cared about the "Power" that House had from his position... but Foreman crumbled under the pressure of the Responsibility that House position came with.

I think it’s different with this guy. He doesn’t seem to intend to belittle her by calling her dumb. He envies the bliss of unintelligence because it’s the norm. He literally can’t communicate on the same level as everyone else. The presence of his intellect alienates him by making other people feel insignificant in comparison. Kinda tragic.
@@ryanking5689 Grats to you for understanding what other people in this comment section can't seem to comprehend =D
To someone whos considered a genius (over 140 I.Q.) Everyone seems dumb. If you could go back in time, lets say 100 years, and talk to someone with the same hypothetical I.Q as yours, he would seem hella dumb to you as well…
Guessing you're the latter
I used to be a cashier at a general store and one of my co-workers Dad used to buy two bottles of store brand cough syrup every time he came into the store. He'd buy the bottles and drink them BOTH in the store's bathroom (I knew because I'd find the discarded containers in the trash when I cleaned at night). Got to the point where I tried to make it "hard" for him by making him buy the bottles one at a time and have him produce his ID each time he bought one because I couldn't just refuse a sale.
He died at the beginning of last year from a stroke.
I thought of that at the beginning of this episode.
I feel a bit guilty for selling him the stuff.
We can't change people, we can only influence, you did your best. Try to change your thoughts from "what I had to" to "what I think I had to", there's a difference!
I agree with the comment above man; there's only so much you can do, and you did what you could, and for that, you are awesome. For taking that step in the right direction. Although I understand that it would be hard not to feel guilty about it, even if you don't believe you could have done anything about it.
You could've pressed him.
If you have another chance take action, action changes lives.
There's a big difference between being outsmarted by someone and being belittled by someone. Most people tend to think they're synonyms, and can get _very_ agressive about it. I see so many comments about the "big ego" of smart people, but no one talks about the huge ego of people with regular intelligence: most of them can't just accept there are people with higher mental capacities, and that is not a personal attack.
There are also a lot of comments on the line of "if you're smart enough, you can explain it to a 5 yo". Well... no. There's a limit where both levels of knowledge and comprehension are irreconcilable, especially if you strive for precision. I don't remember where I heard it, but someone was saying somethig like: "It's like giving a level 1 cooking class and saying 'today we start by beating an egg in a bowl' and students answer 'what's an egg?, what's beating?, what's a bowl?'". I've seen the frustration in the eyes of high level teachers about students not being able to understand something that, for them, are basic concepts, even when both parties are trying so hard to reach out for the other. So, I imagine being "genius" level, like this character, must be indeed a very lonely place to live in a world made for average only.
The people that need to see this comment don't care and never will.

I've completely stopped explaining things to most people. I can absolutely dumb it down (whatever 'it' is) to the lowest possible point while also still retaining enough of the crucial information to actually convey the knowledge. Most people either can't understand or refuse to.

The most concrete connection made in psychiatry is the link between intelligence and clinical depression.

@@projektkobra2247 There's the correlation of being smart and having to perform at that level consistently, especially when that smartness in the past basically just made everything very easy throughout childhood until suddenly it wasn't.

I know right!
Yeah because he's praised as a genius, yet they represent intelligence as being depressed, lonely and hopeless in everyday life, and everyone nods as if that's okay and there is no argument to be made to that because he got it all figured out. It comes of as pretentious rather than smart.
A person like him in real life could easily get employed to work at CERN on the Large Hadron Collider, there he could work on quantum physics and subatomic particles. He could watch as subatomic particles and hadrons collide at near speed of light, so that he could calculate the "expended energy from a subatomic particle".
As someone else commented this is a really dumbed down version of an actual intelligent person.
When you are smart enough, you will begin to believe you are psychic because you seem to know what someone is about the say before they say it. It's amazing how predictable people can be when it comes to their reaction to things.
That is step 1. After that you will start to see yourself as a neurochemical circuit and realize you can alter your behaviour entirely, to better your life. And then you realize that this was the most predictable thing to do having this knowledge.
Yeah but sadly I am psychic
A brilliant line of logic and emotion from the patient, great writing

Wisdom isn't power per se, because someone who is truly wise knows when and, more often, not to use it.
That said, knowledge is power. Knowledge and wisdom may also be affected and attributed by intelligence, but they are not equivalent to it.
Agreed.
Wisdom is knowledge tempered with experience, or so i've heard.
Knowledge by itself is inert i think, it's in knowing how to make use of that knowledge that makes it powerful, like a blade, which makes it lean over to the wisdom side of things again? i don't know.

It's miserable. You have no one to talk to, unless you come across an expert or someone knowledgeable in the field of whatever you want to discuss. Then you have momentary happiness. You are always the fixer in relationships. People roll their eyes and talk badly about you when you state things factually. I can definitely relate to using substances to just chill and have a good time hanging out with people, talking about nothing.
The whole "I am smart therefore I am miserable" (and its twin, "That person is happy, therefore dumb") has done untold damage to suposed geniuses.
I have not met a single person with above average intelligent who is even mildly happy.
@@KINKYmustache once you'll start looking at the average and below average people you'll realise that most people aren't happy and that being intelligent isn't an outlier. Harsh world.

But not when you have a partner who knows nothing about your field. It feels like talking to a wall.
There’s two types of smart people: smart people who just like learning, but can function well because they’re good people with great work ethics, and “smart people” with overinflated egos who are either average or slightly above, but take everything they do and exaggerate it to compensate for their insecurities. IQ has nothing to do with it
Molly Coates well I mean there’s also the possibility of mental illness especially in extremely smart people a lot of geniuses kill themselves young because they can’t fit in modern society
That last scene with chase explaining himself using that old prison yard logic of “knock out the toughest guy and no one will bother you”
For punching out House is so fantastic. I love chase, he was my all time favorite supporting character.
loved the short haircut on Chase too!
Later in the series that is...
the only thing that makes house an exceptional doc is that he actually listens to his pts
I know several geniuses in the biomedical field and it was explained to me that for them to speak to your average person (even most scientists) is like trying to have an enjoyable conversation with a toddler. I wasn't insulted and could understand the isolation and how that type of intelligence is a curse. I'd rather be dumb and happy that brilliant and lonely.
They got Chat GPT Version 4.0 now so their Curses have been lifted.
This wasn't a depiction of intellect, it was a demonstration of isolation and misery. Very on the nose but it was meant to reveal his loneliness and confliction as well as provide the basis for House's revelation.
I haven't seen the entire episode but this is the only sensible comment so far cuz everyone is so wrapped up in the idea of IQ and superiority complex when this scene is not about that.... It's about feeling that nobody is able enough to understand you, it is about being lonely deep down and you think that it's a consequence of your intellect (cuz why can I see the problems when everybody is okay with what's going on) so you treat yourself, medicate the brain down
yeah that episode was very on the nose
@@chamandeepkaur5544 no judged based on this clip the sensible comment is the one that still agrees it's about intellect. it's the same thing as why rick in rick and Morty is depressed. when you are that smart it becomes harder for you and your brain to trick itself. the world is a worthless POS and life is pointless. it's better to just die than to keep on living that is the smart thing to think. that is the reality of the world. but because we can filter out reality and because we can make up our own reasons to keep living we don't feel that. when a human starts to feel that it's called depression. he is literally so smart that his intellect makes him over understand the complexity of the world and litteraly causes depression because of it.
@@rampage3337 nihilism isn't a sign of intelligence. Only reason some super smart people are depressed because their small talk is our peek intellectual conversation and by that he is isolated and has no one to relate and talk too.
His IQ compression to his wife is true but even smart people realise that there is more to life then intellect and they have emotions with which everyone can relate.
I think the episode is self-explained. But only those who lived something like that, will really see that. The others will have a glimpse of an idea of what is it like.

As long as that ability to learn, process, integrate, and produce actually results in tangible advancement in any number of ways, then it means something.

I get the same reaction from people when I talk about language science or music theory - they dont know what I'm talking about. This guy was egotistic and rude as heck
this is not intelligence, it is narcissism... trust me.
It's only not interesting because they/you don't understand it. You/the computer guys shouldn't expect people to find something complex interesting, because they/you don't have the required years of learning for the conversation.
This is what popular science is good for: make it entertaining, simplify or don't include the hard stuff, use metaphors/analogies to explain, and cover the basics to catch them up to speed. Make it fun for the general audience.

You are Dumb Bc he Clearly says that about himself
the moment house realises that chase is more housish than any of his other puppets
he actually smarter than others, there is was a case with little girl sensitive to light, House was wrong and he wants cut girl in half because of infection, Chase was only one get diagnostic right, and he gets punched in the face by House. also, House was under a lot of pressure by that cop and cuddy cut his Vicodin, I don't blame House.
yeah well he was a junkie that had lost his drug, of course his mental capabilities would be reduced
When you're really intelligent, logic becomes a figurative sixth sense of sorts. The line between emotions and sensations separates from what appears obvious and predictable, and the more emotions are put aside the more predictable and simple things appear to be. In the end it becomes an intuition, when logic becomes less of a focused action and more of a subconscious process that never truly ends. The genius, then adolescent, must learn and exercise choice, because happiness by default will not happen to him or her, but must be an active choice.
If unhappiness and depression sets in, anxiety will follow, and that cloud of anxiety will forever haunt the genius - in all probability leading to addiction and asocial patterns of behavior. Forever will the genius suppress his or her genius, and such is often the case with humanity's tendency to abuse and fight whatever strays too far away from the average. There are more geniuses then you know, the few you hear about are those lucky few that society chose to nourish rather than oppress. Especially now, when schools would rather put psychiatric (and social) labels on them just to avoid the extra effort beyond the bare minimum.

This will come off as really pig headed, but I'm going to say it in case anyone else feels this way. I know there's plenty of people smarter than me, it really sucks being intelligent. It really sucks talking about what you really want to talk about and being looked at like you're insane or laughed off because they don't understand. I have three brothers, my oldest also has a photographic memory like me. He's the only person that I feel myself with.

Both, but mostly a compliment. He envied happiness over being that smart.
Not being as intellectually aware as other people sometimes has the benefit of not being afraid of trying new things, of going into something that someone of high intellect would be too critical about and ruining it. The happiest people in the world you will find are those who are not conflicted with knowledge and live day by day. Intelligence can be a curse and sometimes even I feel like the world would be much happier if I wasn't so smart, so critical, or so strategic over everything. If you think you are dumb and happy, then you should embrace it because you have more of a chance in finding what you want in life than those forced with high intelligence where options aren't as common as you would think. Never look at your IQ and think you're less than others. Chances are, you are probably more human than the rest of us will ever be.
To be honest id rather be dumb and happy than be smart but knows that they are a insignificant person in this wide world
