i have an iq of 140+ and i'm retarded with a shit memory. i've literally read about 15 books in my 30 years on earth and can't remember what happened yesterday.
if the average person has an iq of 100, and retards have an iq of 75, that's just a 25 point difference.
if i'm retarded, and there is a 40 point difference between me and the vast majority of people.... what the fuck??
when will humanity's stupidity kill humanity off?
inb4 i don't have an iq of 140. tested as a child and again as an adult by psychiatrists.

People with high IQs tend to be fucked up in the head. Your IQ comes in handy when you actually begin to apply yourself to something. Having high IQ doesn't mean you're smart, it just means you have a high ceiling.
People are always telling me how smart I am, but I think I have average intelligence at best. I always think 'if I'm smart, then all of you are retarded." I currently work as an engineer and all I really do is google shit. People are always amazed how I always seem to know the answers to their questions.
Just because your memory is shit, and you don't have the will power to read a bunch of books doesn't mean you're not good at problem solving and critical thought
intelligence ≠ will power
most intelligent people are hedonist underachievers
internet and porn addiction has fucked your attention span.

You've read 15 books more than me
The enumeration of intelligence is a joke.
There are dozens, if not hundreds, of kinds of intelligence.
Some are more in vogue than others, but NO ONE is proficient in all of them.
You can have good memory but poor math skills.
You can be socially deaf and still know everything there is to know about the sciences.
You can know the name and relative location of every road you've ever driven on, but not even understand the concept of a highway.
Most people are "smart" at something, but nearly everyone is "retarded" at least a few things.

You probably don't pay enough attention to what's going on around you. If you're living in your head you won't remember much about your day. You can make a conscious effort to change it or get into Buddhist mindfulness training.

you sound like me. I'm a diagnosed autist too.
but honestly I think the internet has inflated perception of intelligence. I'm a fucking idiot

Nonverbal learning disorder.
Basically you are a mutant with cognitive trade-offs. My advice is to learn how to cope with pain.

I know the answer to a million random facts too so people think I'm super smart because of that. I always did badly in school because I didn't care but when I redid all my classes and applied myself and studied I did well, I think most kids who do badly in school just don't try as hard as they can

I was diagnosed with that and assburgers alternatively by someone else when I was 6.
I'm like OP except I actually have a good long term memory, but always blank on little stupid short term things like where I put my keys
You're not retarded, you just have a bad memory. Elephants have better memories than humans and they aren't ruling the world.
