is being intelligent a curse?

[Thatrogueassdiaz]

when i say being intelligent , i don't mean book smart, more so life smart. it seem like the more u understand about the world the more depressing it becomes. once u gain the ability to see things for what it is and understand how this world work in total reality....things become bleak. this is like one big cruel practical joke being played on us..


im the type of person that like to true harsh truths into humor but its more a tears of a clown situation....
i wish i was naive, its very underrated....ppl that dont think about these things probably shouldn't....its not even worth it

I think you have a long way to go.

No being intelligent isn't a curse but thinking too much is. You're going to die and so try to get as much out of it as you can because when you die there isn't anything to redeem a half-assed life.

Depends on what you believe.

It should matter to you.

People who are depressed are selfish and weak mentally

Everyone can be the Neo of their Matrix if they wanted to be....

Yeah, because depression has nothing to do with brain chemicals

OP has a false sense of intelligence about himself. We don't know anything about life, and won't for a very long time, we just assume things, doesn't mean it's true. All this history you all talk about could be fabricated, all of it, whatever culture you're getting the information from. Along with other shyt such as how the body works etc. Only true knowledge is experience.

Came in here to say the same thing

Apparently the universe itself is pure conscious energy.

Brain chemicals and electrical potential in the brain correlates with thought, it does not precede it.

Also we were talking about existentialism so no it does not "matter what you believe" with that stipulation

In that specific quote you did not reference existentialism.

Also, thought is influenced by brain chemicals and vice versa. The thought helps activate the chemicals. It is very much a biological process that you can't simplify intellectually with a phrase like, "people who are depressed are weakminded." It has a lot to do with your brain and your environment and your experiences; it doesn't just involve making a conscious choice to be depressed.

See this, OP? This is the right answer. Now everyone get off of the coli and start living a meaningful life instead of arguing with strangers on the internet.

Don't worry about it. You will never know.

If you think you are. You really have no idea what it means.

People with true intelligence and wisdom do not run around trying to be profound or inform others on how smart they are . if you have to tell people you are enlightend. Youre a bag of rocks.

 

[MrFettuccinnePockets]

Think of it like like this.

Everybody that has done big things knew what it was with the human species.

When you first feel it, its a burden....But then you figure out that anything is possible. ANYTHING!!!

Reality is a wake-up call. shyt sucks breh. Y you think nikkas rob? Y you think nikkas give zero fukks? There is a reason.

But this shyt called life aint suppossed to be easy.

REALITY - hardest pill to swallow.

You know how this world is so you know what it takes to accomplish whatever your goals are.

Now if you don't succeed your a failure because you know what it takes to succeed.

You have the jump on a majority of the population...

Grab your nuts, hold your head high, carry yourself with pride and handle your business.

Use your intelligence to your advantage bruh.

And its not intelligence. Its knowledge family.

Knowledge >>>>>

Op, use your intelligence to get what you want out of life.

Your own fault for taking that pill & getting a dildo insertion like hole in the back of your head breh

the point is to figure out a plan to be the happiest possible throughout your life (longer period of happiness, more intense, more frequent). no one can be happy forever but if you do that you're winning.

if you feel depressed, it means you've given up hope or have no plan or don't know what makes you happy. The people you think are dumb might be smarter than you think if they know what makes them happy and are accomplishing it (no matter how pointless it seems to the next man).

Adam and Eve were "smarter" after eating the forbidden fruit but they would have been happier if they hadn't. so were they really smarter for doing it?

Plan your life and happiness, stop being scared and go for it. you'll be less depressed even if you know the "workings of this world".

Aint a thing in this universe "intelligent"

We're emotional/ irrational creatures. Consciousness is an unintended product of evolution.

Praise, Dawkins.

Ehh.....Depression sometimes is people who are actually too weak to change things they can control. Not all depression is actual brain malfunction. Some people just aren't equipped to handle life.
