 Most people are called a genius nowadays -- any recent so called "genius" (such as [Steve Jobs](steve_jobs.md)) is in fact most likely of below average IQ; just barely above mediocre idea someone comes up with by chance will be celebrated as that of a genius, **real genius ideas will be met with hostility**; real genius ideas are too good and too far ahead and unacceptable to normal people. Furthermore success in [business](business.md) requires lack of intelligence so as to be unable to see the consequences of one's actions. Your cat watching you solve Riemann hypothesis will not even know what's happening, to it you are a retard wasting time on sliding a stick over table, on the other hand the cat will judge a monkey capable of opening a can of cat food a genius. Society is composed solely of idiots, they can only see if someone is a tiny bit better at what they do than them, and those they celebrate, if you are light years ahead of them they don't even have the capacity to comprehend how good you are at what you do because they can't even comprehend the thing you do. This includes even [PhD](phd.md)s and people with several Nobel Prizes, everyone except the few supporters of [LRS](lrs.md) are just blind idiots playing along with the system, some lucky to succeed in it and some not. This is why shit technology is prospering and [LRS](lrs.md) is being overlooked. It's just another confirmation our ideas as superior.
 
-Consider this analogy (yes, analogies are good): in a race you can only see those who are plus or minus 20 meters away from you, you can assess everyone else's position only by someone else telling you, so if someone is 50 meters ahead of you, you can know but only by someone ahead of you telling you that someone ahead of him told him he saw him there way up in the front. Now since there are many fewer of high IQ people, they have lower probability of being recognized, simply because there are few people capable of recognizing them -- in mainstream places like Universities you still likely will be recognized as there are smart people around, and the knowledge of your genius will be chain propagated to the mainstream monkeys, but if you're a genius outside a mainstream place, the chance is almost zero you will be recognized (and if you're smart you will probably also not try to be recognized, only retards do that). With this mainstream will simply lack information about your intelligence, they will only see a question mark above your head -- they know you're not average, because averages get recognized very quickly, everyone can assess those -- so now they know you're either really smart or really dumb, and since you don't fit the false, twisted idea of mainstream pseudogenius (being rich, famous, ...), they will conclude you belong to the latter class, i.e. that you're a retard. Note that the same effect manifests also with the pseudogenius, just in the opposite way -- the dumbest people, like [CEOs](ceo.md), are too far away from the average (now towards lower values), so the mainstream isn't sure about their intelligence; here however the CEO applies manipulation, he has the money to pay for a biography book that paints him as a genius, he can pay someone to write him speeches so that he appears to say smart things, he pays people to invent things signed by his name, or he simply steals them with the power of money (Edison, Jobs, ...) etc., so he ends up being taken for genius, despite actually being dumber than many animals (even a dog has enough brain cells to feel for example empathy, something way too complex for a CEO).

 { The short story *Country of the Blind* by H. G. Wells is a nice story about this phenomenon of too much competence being seen as a lack of competence, illustrated on a story of a completely healthy man who finds himself in a village of people who are all blind. ~drummyfish }
 
@@ -118,7 +118,7 @@ Below are some traits and types of intelligence, things we frequently see in hig
 - **Emotional and social intelligence, having higher life goals, resisting low instincts, focusing on the spiritual and intellectual before the material**: the intelligent shows high empathy and understanding of others, he can see through lies and propaganda easily, he has the ability to accept suffering, give up comfort and safety, he is able to [love](love.md) those who hate him for seeing the deeper reasons for why they are so, he can forgive, he is humble, never [worships any people](hero_culture.md), never seeks fame or success, never respects anyone's authority, despises prizes, medals and honors, he loves animals and other life forms and adopts higher life goals such as [selflessness](selflessness.md). For this he always tends to [socialist](socialism.md) and [altruistic](altruism.md) thinking, adopting [pacifism](pacifism.md), [communism](communism.md), [veganism](veganism.md) etc. A retard is closer to an animal: preoccupied with satisfying immediate needs (see e.g. [consumerism](consumerism.md), various addictions etc.) and self interest (typically being a [capitalist](capitalism.md), [fascist](fascism.md) etc.).
 - **Creativity, non-conformance, critical thinking, questioning everything**: a genius is special by finding solutions in places where no one thought of looking before rather than by hard [work](work.md) (that he may do too, but it's not what's exclusive to the genius), i.e. solutions that were missed not for being difficult to achieve but rather too unconventional or dangerous by being in conflict with established ways. A chimp will just learn norms and values of society; a genius will always question them and will reject those that make no sense (in our society practically all), so he will become a hated noncomformist accepting controversial things such as [pedophilia](pedophilia.md). It's not a voluntary rebellion, his brain is physically incapable of NOT seeing what's actually good and what's bad, he naturally questions absolutely everything, including things like basic ethics and opinions of respected authorities. An idiot on the other hand is a conformist, tribalist, often a soldier or worker more similar to a machine mindlessly performing orders and dancing as he's told.
 - **Elevated sense of humor**: almost universally the intelligent love smart humor and are good at creating it, they can make fun of themselves easily and make jokes even where it's seen as inappropriate, e.g. dark humor during funerals, high quality [trolling](trolling.md) and offensive [jokes](jokes.md) inserted into serious speeches, lectures, books, papers, making fun of taboos and so on. Again don't confuse this with cheap crap "humor" by wannabe celebrities who just think it's funny to laugh constantly and non-stop shit out streams of words just to keep saying something, sweating to stay in the center of attention, which they think makes them a master stand up comedian. Being able to spot the difference is also part of having higher IQ. It's extremely simple to entertain a retard because he buys cheap jokes such as puns, pop-culture references, sex jokes, parodies of famous people etc., he can't tell if humor is good or bad so he can easily keep consuming mass-produced humor such as Netflix shows, which to the smart equals torture.
-- **Seeing patterns, observation skills, high awareness**: nowadays we would almost say "being autistic" or obsessed about details other people ignore or filter out, such as numbering of roads, train schedules, font choice in restaurant menus to give a few examples. Intelligence is very much about pattern recognition, and this includes all kinds of patterns, be they visual, social, mathematical, [historical](history.md) etc. Learning to recognize patterns is conditioned by consciously noticing them, acknowledging them and thinking about them. Again this will lead to seeing hidden truths and the individual being labeled "conspiracy theorist" or even getting diagnosed with schizophrenia (or autism, OCD or whatever).
