Being “gifted” has been a lifelong process of learning that the rules are made up and it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter how intelligent you are if you aren’t placed on the same starting lines as everyone else.
Like, people make their livings as naturopaths and chiropractors. Shit that is entirely made up. Learning real shit will always be less profitable than selling fake shit.
I’m blue (da ba dee da ba da)
I get the feeling that the green part doesn’t actually exist…
In the field of computer science no matter how smart you think that you are, there is always a bigger fish. And the bigger fish is Von Neumann. He’s the final boss of the field.
I believe it does but from what I’ve seen of those that are classified as “high intelligence” people, well, it’s not great.
Those that have been “gifted” their whole lives tend to be sheltered, and seem to live in their own little bubble of self reassurance that they’re special and smart.
There’s a few stand out people that I would cite as actually intelligent and made good use of their intelligence. Einstein, Tesla (the person, not the company), Hawking…
These are highly intelligent people that focused their efforts on a specific field of study and excelled.
General intelligence without any focus, you become quite good at a number of things but never truly great at anything.
There’s a whole culture of people who consider themselves to be more intelligent than the rest of us; I’ve only experienced small parts of it and bluntly, the smartest people I know, who could easily be in that genius category, reject it because they don’t want to associate with the prominent people in that community (or anyone in that community).
In addition to this an IQ test is bullshit. You can be the smartest person in the world and “fail” an IQ test, if it’s presented in a way that you can’t comprehend… Like if the test is in French and you don’t speak/read/write any French at all.
Even those that administer IQ tests know they’re basically meaningless.
The while thing is a crock of shit if you ask me. I have no doubt in my mind that there are highly intelligent/high IQ people that genuinely exist. I don’t think they’re standing in line for an IQ test to prove it.
The green part gets further to the right the more gifted the author of the diagram is :)
Maybe it’s a confidence thing, but I think of myself in the green. Am I at the very top of the intelligence spectrum? No, but I don’t need to be. The higher you go, the more there’s diminishing returns to additional intelligence, and the more likely that it’s something else other than intelligence holding you back. So it’s worth working on those things instead of believing that being 99.9th percentile in intelligence makes a meaningful difference in one’s life, compared to merely being 98th percentile. Which barely makes a difference in most situations compared to being 90th percentile.
In other words, being any smarter wouldn’t unlock anything that I can’t already do. The stuff I’m not capable of doing, it’s not intelligence holding me back. And the stuff I’m capable of doing, well, I’m already there.
The fact that you think that makes me think you aren’t actually in the green tbh.
The stuff I’m not capable of doing, it’s not intelligence holding me back. And the stuff I’m capable of doing, well, I’m already there.
Meh
Hey, everyone, check out this person’s brain!
… See, noone cares.
The other side of the Dunning Kruger Effect.
{“code”:“command-failure”,“msg”:“ffprobe Failed with exit status: 1”}
I think ffprobe is from ffmpeg which is software for doing anything with video. Here it was probably some kind of conversation.
The ffprobe command is used to get information about video (& maybe audio?) files. For example, you could use it to check a video’s container format (like mp4), video format (like AV1), audio format (like AAC) & subtitles.
I direct linked to a gif I have stored an imgbox (head smashing against wall), and it worked as a preview…

It’s meant to be a video or perhaps a gif, apparently, but I too can’t see it.
