Are you genuinely mentally challenged? Please use whatever little brain cells you have left after your glue huffing addiction to think a little bit before posting something as stupid as this again. Thanks and have a nice evening.
It should be noted that I've upvoted every single person who's disagreed with me here, as far as I know.
That said.
In 7th grade, I took an SAT test without preparing for it at all, it was spur-of-the-moment, I knew about it about an hour ahead of time and didn't do any research or anything. I scored higher on it than the average person using it to apply for college in my area.
An IQ test has shown me to be in the 99.9th percentile for IQ. This is the highest result the test I was given reaches; anything further and they'd consider it to be within the margin of error for that test.
My mother's boyfriend of 8 years is an aerospace engineer who graduated Virginia Tech. At the age of 15, I understand physics better than him, and I owe very little of it to him, as he would rarely give me a decent explanation of anything, just tell me that my ideas were wrong and become aggravated with me for not quite understanding thermodynamics. He's not particularly successful as an engineer, but I've met lots of other engineers who aren't as good as me at physics, so I'm guessing that's not just a result of him being bad at it.
I'm also pretty good at engineering. I don't have a degree, and other than physics I don't have a better understanding of any aspect of engineering than any actual engineer, but I have lots of ingenuity for inventing new things. For example, I independently invented regenerative brakes before finding out what they were, and I was only seven or eight years old when I started inventing wireless electricity solutions (my first idea being to use a powerful infrared laser to transmit energy; admittedly not the best plan).
I have independently thought of basically every branch of philosophy I've come across. Every question of existentialism which I've seen discussed in SMBC or xkcd or Reddit or anywhere else, the thoughts haven't been new to me. Philosophy has pretty much gotten trivial for me; I've considered taking a philosophy course just to see how easy it is.
Psychology, I actually understand better than people with degrees. Unlike engineering, there's no aspect of psychology which I don't have a very good understanding of. I can debunk many of even Sigmund Freud's theories.
I'm a good enough writer that I'm writing a book and so far everybody who's read any of it has said it was really good and plausible to expect to have published. And that's not just, like, me and family members, that counts strangers on the Internet. I've heard zero negative appraisal of it so far; people have critiqued it, but not insulted it.
I don't know if that will suffice as evidence that I'm intelligent. I'm done with it, though, because I'd rather defend my maturity, since it's what you've spent the most time attacking. The following are some examples of my morals and ethical code.
I believe firmly that everybody deserves a future. If we were to capture Hitler at the end of WWII, I would be against executing him. In fact, if we had any way of rehabilitating him and knowing that he wasn't just faking it, I'd even support the concept of letting him go free. This is essentially because I think that whoever you are in the present is a separate entity from who you were in the past and who you are in the future, and while your present self should take responsibility for your past self's actions, it shouldn't be punished for them simply for the sake of punishment, especially if the present self regrets the actions of the past self and feels genuine guilt about them.
I don't believe in judgement of people based on their personal choices as long as those personal choices aren't harming others. I don't have any issue with any type of sexuality whatsoever (short of physically acting out necrophilia, pedophilia, or other acts which have a harmful affect on others - but I don't care what a person's fantasies consist of, as long as they recognize the difference between reality and fiction and can separate them). I don't have any issue with anybody over what type of music they listen to, or clothes they wear, etc. I know that's not really an impressive moral, but it's unfortunately rare; a great many people, especially those my age, are judgmental about these things.
I love everyone, even people I hate. I wish my worst enemies good fortune and happiness. Rick Perry is a vile, piece of shit human being, deserving of zero respect, but I wish for him to change for the better and live the best life possible. I wish this for everyone.
I'm pretty much a pacifist. I've taken a broken nose without fighting back or seeking retribution, because the guy stopped punching after that. The only time I'll fight back is if 1) the person attacking me shows no signs of stopping and 2) if I don't attack, I'll come out worse than the other person will if I do. In other words, if fighting someone is going to end up being more harmful to them than just letting them go will be to me, I don't fight back. I've therefore never had a reason to fight back against anyone in anything serious, because my ability to take pain has so far made it so that I'm never in a situation where I'll be worse off after a fight. If I'm not going to get any hospitalizing injuries, I really don't care.
The only exception is if someone is going after my life. Even then, I'll do the minimum amount of harm to them that I possibly can in protecting myself. If someone points a gun at me and I can get out of it without harming them, I'd prefer to do that over killing them.
I consider myself a feminist. I don't believe in enforced or uniform gender roles; they may happen naturally, but they should never be coerced into happening unnaturally. As in, the societal pressure for gender roles should really go, even if it'll turn out that the majority of relationships continue operating the same way of their own accord. I treat women with the same outlook I treat men, and never participate in the old Reddit "women are crazy" circlejerk, because there are multiple women out there and each have different personalities just like there are multiple men out there and each with different personalities. I don't think you do much of anything except scare off the awesome women out there by going on and on about the ones who aren't awesome.
That doesn't mean I look for places to victimize women, I just don't believe it's fair to make generalizations such as the one about women acting like everything's OK when it's really not (and that's a particularly harsh example, because all humans do that).
I'm kind of tired of citing these examples and I'm guessing you're getting tired of reading them, if you've even made it this far. In closing, the people who know me in real life all respect me, as do a great many people in the Reddit brony community, where I spend most of my time and where I'm pretty known for being helpful around the community. A lot of people in my segment of the community are depressed or going through hard times, and I spend a lot of time giving advice and support to people there. Yesterday someone quoted a case of me doing this in a post asking everyone what their favorite motivational/inspirational quote was, and that comment was second to the top, so I guess other people agreed (though, granted, it was a pretty low-traffic post, only about a dozen competing comments).
And, uh, I'm a pretty good moderator.
All that, and I think your behavior in this thread was totally assholish. So what do you think, now that you at least slightly know me?
Let me tell you this-- /r/Drama is one of the most malevolent, cruel, coldhearted online communities you'll ever find, and even as a supporter of free speech it appalls me that Reddit would allow such a vile, festering hub of bigotry and sadism to exist. You think [slur]town was bad? That subreddit, if you pick up on the dog-whistles (and many don't even bother with that-- say want you want about Stormfront, at least it bans "n[slur]"), will reveal itself to you as Reddit's number one hub for the web's most hardened Nazis, Klansmen, Fascists, and Gamergaters. You'll notice on the sidebar that it encourages members to be as dramatic as possible. That's intentional. They encourage arguments in the comments section. That's intentional. You know the Three Minute Hate (it's from this underrated book 1985, give it a read, it's scary how much it parallels our society)? It's like that, they want to stoke the flames of reactionary rage so they continue to dogpile every progressive and minority who enters the subreddit, normalizing these evil feelings. They brigade from subreddit to subreddit, having an entire cabal of mods spanning hundreds of communities, gaslighting lived experiences of the oppressed and unashamedly bolstering Reddit's homegrown white supremacy movement. They've kink-shamed hundreds of people too, some even... to death. I fear that /r/drama may be producing an entire army of Dylann Roofs and Elliot Rogers, and I highly suggest that nobody dares visit that horrible subreddit, lest you potentially fall victim to its corruptive aura.

Great, you live on the east coast and participated in DUKE TIP. I'm glad for you. I got a 29 comp and 31 sci on my 7th grade ACT. I qualified for nation TIP recognition. So did 15 of my classmates.
An IQ test has shown me to be in the 99.9th percentile for IQ. This is the highest result the test I was given reaches; anything further and they'd consider it to be within the margin of error for that test.
I've consistently scored over 130 on IQ tests. I've literally rarely scored below 99th percentile on anything.
My mother's boyfriend of 8 years is an aerospace engineer who graduated Virginia Tech. At the age of 15, I understand physics better than him, and I owe very little of it to him, as he would rarely give me a decent explanation of anything, just tell me that my ideas were wrong and become aggravated with me for not quite understanding thermodynamics.

Pray explain to me the basics of simple harmonic motion, specifically explaining how a spring's back and forth motion can be modeled. Feel free to use calculus. you may understant the concepts, but I doubt you have teh understanding necessary to explain them. This is the level require to actually use them.
I'm also pretty good at engineering. I don't have a degree, and other than physics I don't have a better understanding of any aspect of engineering than any actual engineer, but I have lots of ingenuity for inventing new things.

I didn't know what these were until you told me about them, but I've also thought of them before. They are a great concept, but rarely useful on anything outside of trains and electric cars. I'll also point out that there is a difference between conceptualizing something and actually inventing it. Where is your working model?

Let me explain something to you real quick: Webcomics need to appeal to their readers. Reddit is made up of generally slightly above average intelligent people. You aren't on a forum surrounded by geniuses (especially when related to philosophic debate), and XKCD isn't meant to appeal to philosophy majors. The fact that you get it means that you have an average understanding of basic philosophy. To truly understand these ideas you need to be able to implement them. That means being able to explain why god should/should not exist. That means being able to provide a thesis for why god doesn't cause goodness.
Psychology, I actually understand better than people with degrees. Unlike engineering, there's no aspect of psychology which I don't have a very good understanding of. I can debunk many of even Sigmund Freud's theories.

Yeap, expected.
Let me put it to you this way (an for those of you still watching this thread, this will come off as very arrogant. I'm fully aware of that).
I'm 16. I've been so for less than 6 months. I'm currently applying to colleges, including Yale and Columbia planning to be a Cscience major. Do I have an expectation of getting into one/both? Yes, otherwise I wouldn't apply. Will I be surprised if I don't get in? No, I am aware that there are other people out there better than me at everything. I dont' just mean better than me at computer science, I mean everything.
I scored a 2200 on my SAT. That isn't super scored, that's straight up, one test. I've been beaten by two people in my class, a 25 on an ACT and a 2280 on an SAT. What you don't realize is that there are people out there better than you. Now, that may be because you weren't exposed to them, but you will be. I happen to have been my whole life, and I'm lucky for it. What you need to learn, and I mean this as advice, not as insulting, is that you aren't as good as you think you are. Yes, there are probably 15 year old kids out there who are better at aerospace physics than an average aerospace engineer. There are also some pretty stupid people with aerospace engineering degrees. You knowing an aerospace engineer that isn't very good and happening to understand conceptual physics doesn't turn you into einstein.
I know a child who nearly made it onto the US world math competition team. This kid is insanely smart. He consistantly corrects our math professor (a doctor of pure math) on things, and finds and proves better ways to do things. He's in the top .001% of child mathemeticians in the US. What will come of that? Probably nothing. His ability will probably not allow him to prove the abc conjecture, or find the pattern to prime numbers. It will probably do nothing.
Be realistic, aiming high is fine, but be prepared to fail. If you don't prepare for failure, you'll find that you do much more often.
So, I'm going to be realistic with you, since you aren't with yourself.

What you don't realize is that there are people out there better than you. Now, that may be because you weren't exposed to them, but you will be. I happen to have been my whole life, and I'm lucky for it. What you need to learn, and I mean this as advice, not as insulting, is that you aren't as good as you think you are. Yes, there are probably 15 year old kids out there who are better at aerospace physics than an average aerospace engineer. There are also some pretty stupid people with aerospace engineering degrees. You knowing an aerospace engineer that isn't very good and happening to understand conceptual physics doesn't turn you into einstein.
I know a child who nearly made it onto the US world math competition team. This kid is insanely smart. He consistantly corrects our math professor (a doctor of pure math) on things, and finds and proves better ways to do things. He's in the top .001% of child mathemeticians in the US. What will come of that? Probably nothing. His ability will probably not allow him to prove the abc conjecture, or find the pattern to prime numbers. It will probably do nothing.
Be realistic, aiming high is fine, but be prepared to fail. If you don't prepare for failure, you'll find that you do much more often.
t should be noted that I've upvoted every single person who's disagreed with me here, as far as I know. That said. In 7th grade, I took an SAT test without preparing for it at all, it was spur-of-the-moment, I knew about it about an hour ahead of time and didn't do any research or anything. I scored higher on it than the average person using it to apply for college in my area. An IQ test has shown me to be in the 99.9th percentile for IQ. This is the highest result the test I was given reaches; anything further and they'd consider it to be within the margin of error for that test. My mother's boyfriend of 8 years is an aerospace engineer who graduated Virginia Tech. At the age of 15, I understand physics better than him, and I owe very little of it to him, as he would rarely give me a decent explanation of anything, just tell me that my ideas were wrong and become aggravated with me for not quite understanding thermodynamics. He's not particularly successful as an engineer, but I've met lots of other engineers who aren't as good as me at physics, so I'm guessing that's not just a result of him being bad at it. I'm also pretty good at engineering. I don't have a degree, and other than physics I don't have a better understanding of any aspect of engineering than any actual engineer, but I have lots of ingenuity for inventing new things. For example, I independently invented regenerative brakes before finding out what they were, and I was only seven or eight years old when I started inventing wireless electricity solutions (my first idea being to use a powerful infrared laser to transmit energy; admittedly not the best plan). I have independently thought of basically every branch of philosophy I've come across. Every question of existentialism which I've seen discussed in SMBC or xkcd or Reddit or anywhere else, the thoughts haven't been new to me. Philosophy has pretty much gotten trivial for me; I've considered taking a philosophy course just to see how easy it is. Psychology, I actually understand better than people with degrees. Unlike engineering, there's no aspect of psychology which I don't have a very good understanding of. I can debunk many of even Sigmund Freud's theories. I'm a good enough writer that I'm writing a book and so far everybody who's read any of it has said it was really good and plausible to expect to have published. And that's not just, like, me and family members, that counts strangers on the Internet. I've heard zero negative appraisal of it so far; people have critiqued it, but not insulted it. I don't know if that will suffice as evidence that I'm intelligent. I'm done with it, though, because I'd rather defend my maturity, since it's what you've spent the most time attacking. The following are some examples of my morals and ethical code. I believe firmly that everybody deserves a future. If we were to capture Hitler at the end of WWII, I would be against executing him. In fact, if we had any way of rehabilitating him and knowing that he wasn't just faking it, I'd even support the concept of letting him go free. This is essentially because I think that whoever you are in the present is a separate entity from who you were in the past and who you are in the future, and while your present self should take responsibility for your past self's actions, it shouldn't be punished for them simply for the sake of punishment, especially if the present self regrets the actions of the past self and feels genuine guilt about them. I don't believe in judgement of people based on their personal choices as long as those personal choices aren't harming others. I don't have any issue with any type of sexuality whatsoever (short of physically acting out necrophilia, pedophilia, or other acts which have a harmful affect on others - but I don't care what a person's fantasies consist of, as long as they recognize the difference between reality and fiction and can separate them). I don't have any issue with anybody over what type of music they listen to, or clothes they wear, etc. I know that's not really an impressive moral, but it's unfortunately rare; a great many people, especially those my age, are judgmental about these things. I love everyone, even people I hate. I wish my worst enemies good fortune and happiness. Rick Perry is a vile, piece of shit human being, deserving of zero respect, but I wish for him to change for the better and live the best life possible. I wish this for everyone. I'm pretty much a pacifist. I've taken a broken nose without fighting back or seeking retribution, because the guy stopped punching after that. The only time I'll fight back is if 1) the person attacking me shows no signs of stopping and 2) if I don't attack, I'll come out worse than the other person will if I do. In other words, if fighting someone is going to end up being more harmful to them than just letting them go will be to me, I don't fight back. I've therefore never had a reason to fight back against anyone in anything serious, because my ability to take pain has so far made it so that I'm never in a situation where I'll be worse off after a fight. If I'm not going to get any hospitalizing injuries, I really don't care. The only exception is if someone is going after my life. Even then, I'll do the minimum amount of harm to them that I possibly can in protecting myself. If someone points a gun at me and I can get out of it without harming them, I'd prefer to do that over killing them. I consider myself a feminist. I don't believe in enforced or uniform gender roles; they may happen naturally, but they should never be coerced into happening unnaturally. As in, the societal pressure for gender roles should really go, even if it'll turn out that the majority of relationships continue operating the same way of their own accord. I treat women with the same outlook I treat men, and never participate in the old Reddit "women are crazy" circlejerk, because there are multiple women out there and each have different personalities just like there are multiple men out there and each with different personalities. I don't think you do much of anything except scare off the awesome women out there by going on and on about the ones who aren't awesome. That doesn't mean I look for places to victimize women, I just don't believe it's fair to make generalizations such as the one about women acting like everything's OK when it's really not (and that's a particularly harsh example, because all humans do that). I'm kind of tired of citing these examples and I'm guessing you're getting tired of reading them, if you've even made it this far. In closing, the people who know me in real life all respect me, as do a great many people in the Reddit brony community, where I spend most of my time and where I'm pretty known for being helpful around the community. A lot of people in my segment of the community are depressed or going through hard times, and I spend a lot of time giving advice and support to people there. Yesterday someone quoted a case of me doing this in a post asking everyone what their favorite motivational/inspirational quote was, and that comment was second to the top, so I guess other people agreed (though, granted, it was a pretty low-traffic post, only about a dozen competing comments). And, uh, I'm a pretty good moderator. All that, and I think your behavior in this thread was totally assholish. So what do you think, now that you at least slightly know me?

LMAO they think this hurts us? They think we care? FFS we get this, and worse, fucking daily. Like, there is nothing that can be said to me that will hurt my feelings. I'm not so incredibly emotionally fragile that a stranger's words on the internet have an actual effect one me.
They think that vile PMs actually mean something, because the internet is really really important to them. Their entire world is built online, so this is real to them. It's so fucking sad.
I can just walk outside and they literally don't exist anymore. I can go hangout with friends I made in college, because they don't exist purely on a message board. Like, are these guys 12? I imagine that's how juvenile you'd have to be to think this mattered, or was "badass" in any way.

Let me tell you this-- /r/Drama is one of the most malevolent, cruel, coldhearted online communities you'll ever find, and even as a supporter of free speech it appalls me that Reddit would allow such a vile, festering hub of bigotry and sadism to exist. You think [slur]town was bad? That subreddit, if you pick up on the dog-whistles (and many don't even bother with that-- say want you want about Stormfront, at least it bans "n[slur]"), will reveal itself to you as Reddit's number one hub for the web's most hardened Nazis, Klansmen, Fascists, and Gamergaters. You'll notice on the sidebar that it encourages members to be as dramatic as possible. That's intentional. They encourage arguments in the comments section. That's intentional. You know the Three Minute Hate (it's from this underrated book 1985, give it a read, it's scary how much it parallels our society)? It's like that, they want to stoke the flames of reactionary rage so they continue to dogpile every progressive and minority who enters the subreddit, normalizing these evil feelings. They brigade from subreddit to subreddit, having an entire cabal of mods spanning hundreds of communities, gaslighting lived experiences of the oppressed and unashamedly bolstering Reddit's homegrown white supremacy movement. They've kink-shamed hundreds of people too, some even... to death. I fear that /r/drama may be producing an entire army of Dylann Roofs and Elliot Rogers, and I highly suggest that nobody dares visit that horrible subreddit, lest you potentially fall victim to its corruptive aura.

So, I'm going to be realistic with you, since you aren't with yourself.
Great, you live on the east coast and participated in DUKE TIP. I'm glad for you. I got a 29 comp and 31 sci on my 7th grade ACT. I qualified for nation TIP recognition. So did 15 of my classmates.
I've consistently scored over 130 on IQ tests. I've literally rarely scored below 99th percentile on anything.
Pray explain to me the basics of simple harmonic motion, specifically explaining how a spring's back and forth motion can be modeled. Feel free to use calculus. you may understant the concepts, but I doubt you have teh understanding necessary to explain them. This is the level require to actually use them.
I didn't know what these were until you told me about them, but I've also thought of them before. They are a great concept, but rarely useful on anything outside of trains and electric cars. I'll also point out that there is a difference between conceptualizing something and actually inventing it. Where is your working model?
Let me explain something to you real quick: Webcomics need to appeal to their readers. Reddit is made up of generally slightly above average intelligent people. You aren't on a forum surrounded by geniuses (especially when related to philosophic debate), and XKCD isn't meant to appeal to philosophy majors. The fact that you get it means that you have an average understanding of basic philosophy. To truly understand these ideas you need to be able to implement them. That means being able to explain why god should/should not exist. That means being able to provide a thesis for why god doesn't cause goodness.
Including buisness psychology? Economics?
Great, you know polite people. (also confirmation bias)
It shows you have an above average intelligence, like most people with internet access.
There is a difference between morality and maturity. There are really immature people with 'good' morals.
Ok, so you are a liberal too.
A bleeding heart liberal
Ok. This isn't morality, its bragging.
Yeap, expected.
Let me put it to you this way (an for those of you still watching this thread, this will come off as very arrogant. I'm fully aware of that). I'm 16. I've been so for less than 6 months. I'm currently applying to colleges, including Yale and Columbia planning to be a Cscience major. Do I have an expectation of getting into one/both? Yes, otherwise I wouldn't apply. Will I be surprised if I don't get in? No, I am aware that there are other people out there better than me at everything. I dont' just mean better than me at computer science, I mean everything.
I scored a 2200 on my SAT. That isn't super scored, that's straight up, one test. I've been beaten by two people in my class, a 25 on an ACT and a 2280 on an SAT. What you don't realize is that there are people out there better than you. Now, that may be because you weren't exposed to them, but you will be. I happen to have been my whole life, and I'm lucky for it. What you need to learn, and I mean this as advice, not as insulting, is that you aren't as good as you think you are. Yes, there are probably 15 year old kids out there who are better at aerospace physics than an average aerospace engineer. There are also some pretty stupid people with aerospace engineering degrees. You knowing an aerospace engineer that isn't very good and happening to understand conceptual physics doesn't turn you into einstein.

This is a meme bot
1 Nutritionisawesome 2017-12-01
And it posts in which sub?
1 Alwaysafraidtodie 2017-12-01
I really don't know.
1 Nutritionisawesome 2017-12-01
HINT
It posts racism in this sub. Ergo, this sub is racist.
1 Alwaysafraidtodie 2017-12-01

This is scientific proof that you are not aware of your own stupidity.
Por favor, stop señor, you're only embarrassing yourself...

I'd watch out u/WarSanchez, u/Nutritionisawesome sounds like a bad-ass.

LMAO they think this hurts us? They think we care? FFS we get this, and worse, fucking daily. Like, there is nothing that can be said to me that will hurt my feelings. I'm not so incredibly emotionally fragile that a stranger's words on the internet have an actual effect one me. They think that vile PMs actually mean something, because the internet is really really important to them. Their entire world is built online, so this is real to them. It's so fucking sad. I can just walk outside and they literally don't exist anymore. I can go hangout with friends I made in college, because they don't exist purely on a message board. Like, are these guys 12? I imagine that's how juvenile you'd have to be to think this mattered, or was "badass" in any way.
