Intelligence isn't a think you aquire not is is paticularly measurable.

People who trot around making pseduo-intellectual arsewipes who trot around making textbook statements about Stoic ethnics aren't smart.

Everyone has issue focusing on things that bore them; right now you have acess to the largest libary of information that has ever been devised; simply google something you've wanted to know about and by the end of the hour you will have found something to explain it.

If there is something specific like philosophy to science and mathematics, youtube is your friend.

>I feel like everyone around me are way smarter than I am
Been there. They're not, it just looks that way because you can see inside your own head but not theirs. They don't have a fucking clue.

Read books and travel.

Read books from a library.

Travel like a poor man.

I have the opposite problem, I fucking hate it when people call me smart just because it seems like they're bullshitting me.

Learn not to take it personally. I was consistently the lowest scoring student in my university class, yet just before I left I discovered that apparently I had been considered very smart. It's all about the air you project, not how intelligent you actually are.

Poeple usually massively overrate their own intelligence, and as a result they'll view anyone smarter than them as geniuses.

learn things, find things to apply it on

Be curious about things and ask questions about things you're interested in.

Step 1: Focus on issues that matter
Step 2: Find what motivates you
Step 3: Dedicate your life to your chosen issue
Step 4: Observe, observe, observe.

Being smart isn't about the horsepower of your brain, but how you apply it to solve your problems.

Change your way of thinking,it isn't what you think that makes you smart,it's how you think it.

I'm not smart btw,I just know things.
