Burdened by my genius

[Ostronomos]

You all have failed to grasp the subtleties of my humor.

Although there was no shortage of hubris to my claims about my genius.

I persistently seek every opportunity to demonstrate my intelligence in social situations. This is my natural disposition. I seek validation on a daily basis. I believe it provides optimal benefit to society and inspires my confidence in myself.

I see others as a means to an end.

Purpose defines my existence. I seek every opportunity to shine brightly. Such is the ideal of genius.

-Nicholas Hosein, the great genius of Nostradamus prophecy.

I admit that this is a flaw I greatly had and somewhat still do have. I think enforcing a sense of humor and taking oneself less seriously is the best way to go. Humbling oneself. Nobody likes a know-it-all.

Sounds like they may have had an empty and lonely existence. A lack of coexistence, so to speak.

Is genius a title that can be self-applied, or is it only really valid when it is assigned by others?

Genius is kind of like "fool", so it could be self applied or applied by others, but whether it's useful or not is another matter.

 

[dybmh]

genius != useful

 

[MikeF]

Genius is kind of like "fool", so it could be self applied or applied by others, but whether it's useful or not is another matter.

Why would a true genius see the need to apply such a title to themselves? I would think a genius need only let their body of work and achievements speak for them.

 

[The Hammer]

I see others as a means to an end.

This is a very unhealthy outlook towards your fellow man.

 

[Hold]

I am relieved.....No one has ever called me a genius...(today)..

This behavior is not indicative of someone who is comfortable and confident in whatever context is discussed.

I see others as a means to an end.

This is, at a word, unhealthy. It will also contribute to social deficits.

Based on what you've said, I recommend considering, if you do not already do so, some mental health counseling.

 

[Subduction Zone]

Me two. I am the smart.

No doubt related to rampant voter fraud. We need to look into it.

Technically, if you have an IQ of 137, you're 3 points short of genius.

Really now?

 

[Quagmire]

Genius only has value in demonstration, not designation.

(Oh my God! That's genius!!)

 

[Tinker Grey]

A genius who doesn't understand the usage of the word hubris.

I have been called a genius, but that guy was an idiot.

In my opinion, genius has no value either way.

What's important is that we focus on making the best choices we can with what we're given. Focusing on measuring the amount that we have to work with or that we give relative to others is, in my opinion, a fool's errand. I don't think any good can come from it.
