Re: What's your job

[(Anonymous)]

Jumping in to say that I agree. It sounds like these others are intelligent people and have no idea what it's like to not be intelligent. I'm not smart. I'm average with a few learning disabilities that will throw me to below average on tests. I get so sick of people, usually people with degrees, telling me that I'm putting myself down and if I just applied myself and that it's not hard to get a degree and how a degree doesn't matter that much blah blah blah.

It matters. You're smart, I'm not. Stop trying to tell me otherwise.

Re: What's your job

You can work a computer. You can make coherent, logical arguments. You can follow a discussion. You can make and defend your position. You don't need to be "smart" to function in society. It fucking helps a lot, but let's be honest, the "smart" people aren't even the majority of the world. Then how do the rest manage?

Society/the government/people with money/etc. are trying -and succeeding- to brainwash the population into believing that you have to ace tests, memorize the shit out books, be a smooth talker, pretty, charismatic, have a college degree, have a high-paying job, being on top of the command chain, not taking orders from anybody, etc. to be successful and/or happy in life. And that's... frankly not true.

Don't fall for those lies. The economy is shit right now, and even the "smart" people are struggling to find a job that pays them enough to pay for actual basic expenses, so "smartness" is not the defining succeeding-in-life factor that people want you to believe it is. It's tempting to blame it on your perceived lack of intelligence, but from talking to you right now, you're not "not intelligent"; school tests as they are now check for your ability to brute-force memorize information in the long term; that's only one type of "intelligence" out of many more, and it sucks that school only focuses on that one for all the big decisions.
