Replying to @CEOLandshark
I agree and can confirm.
Sensitivity is the true game changer above an IQ of 120, and this is a truth I have experienced myself. In my case it came along with autism, but honestly I wouldn't change a single bit of it because even though it can cause pain, in the long run it's very similar to playing Reality™️ using cheat codes.
The cruelest part of it is the brutal, inevitable, constant and unfathomable contrast that you see in those who don't have it. You can see it, but they can't. You know they'll never be able to see it, and you see the consequences of not seeing it. Every day, with no imaginable fix ahead.
It is like playing the game of life with fewer cards, trying to solve the equation of life with fewer variables. The number of them is infinite, of course, but as long as you have enough of them you will solve for the unknown of said equation.
An IQ of 120 or 125 vs. one of 142 or 150 usually is just a matter of time and effort linking variables, that's it. But if you lack the variables you're toast.
That's why poets and filmmakers see the future coming —almost explicitly, in many cases— while many Kasparovs and Talebs fail even when trying to foresee pretty obvious world events. This happens due to a lack of transcendent insight, due to a lack of connection with the subtle perks of this World.

i regret to inform you that personal growth rarely comes from acquiring new knowledge and almost always from:
-getting humiliated
-showing up terrified and doing it anyway
-admitting you might be the problem

in every ball sport you have one of two attitudes toward the ball. either “i will hurt you” or “i will cherish you”. interestingly, arguably the least violent sport, baseball, has the most violent attitude toward the ball. but the most violent sport, football, most loves the ball
All these character sheets droppin. Almost like they want you to plug into AI

Reminds me of an embarrassing situation earlier this year when I went to Meta; they have an assortment of nuts in containers that I didn’t know how to use… so they ended up all over the floor-right after the person that just cleaned up walked away lmao.
Everyone wants to tell me how great their office pantry is but after the Bloomberg pantry nothing can surprise me. The Bloomberg pantry is the size of a small regional airport. The Bloomberg pantry has a fresh peanut butter machine and matcha on tap. The Bloomberg pantry makes the Thrive Capital pantry look positively soviet. Its memory will drive you to tears whenever you visit another newsroom

human beings aren’t prizes, regardless of gender. think highly of yourself, yes. but there has to be humility there because none of us are gifts to people, we are all just people.
