it might just be that you have a lot more common sense than the norm. as it turns out, common sense isn't all that common.
Your ratios are a bit off because you don't understand. Truly intelligent people don't mingle with the common idiots. This doesn't mean you're one of the idiots. just that you're observant. Or not.
studies show that men consistently overestimate their intelligence. then again, the bell shaped curve of iq levels has almost only men on the highest and lowest extremes. but they all think they're geniuses.
Haha^ I tend to think a lot of people are idiots when I'm out and about... 90 percent of the people in the grocery store seem to have no common sense and no brain cells. It disgusts me.
when you're young, everyone else is a moron. when you get older you realize you were mistaken about the "else" part of it. there ARE a lot of people in this world who don't seem to undersand or care how their intrests and priorities add togather with everyone else's to motivate the kind of world they and the rest of us all have to live in. who seem to think momentary illusions of personal gratification, excitement, and or accumulation, are the most important thing in the world to them: and then wonder why the world they have to live in is the way that it is. =^^= .../\...
I deal with them at school all the time. I have doubts that I will be a good teacher but when I look at my classmates I think the future students here in Ga. need me. haha I'm sooooo sick of all of these girls saying they want to be elementary school teachers because they love kids. UGH! You don't teach because you love kids. You teach because you want kids to learn. These same girls whine when they have to take notes and ask the prof. to post them online. I have a feeling that I will be teaching even more high schoolers how to read when these girls get jobs as teachers. Great you love kids? Work at a daycare.
At this point in my life if I thought less of people who weren't as smart as me, I would be an overwhelming cock.
