Are you intelligent?

i are specatularistically dum

I'm not gonna say, "I'm so fucking smart, I just don't care for money." But, isn't there some Russian dude, that's like the most gifted mathematician in the past hundred years, and he chose to live off a few hundred dollars pension with his mother in the woods.

i knew a guy once who graduated from MIT and he now works at a Dairy Queen. and i've personally watched someone with an ivy league education slowly tear apart a nation.

rich people aren't smart. they're just lucky, and desperate to find a synonym so you won't catch onto the grift.

Intelligence and IQ are a huge cope for poor fags to feel as if they have potential for something. Meanwhile some dumb trust fund kid invests in a start up about puppies or some shit like that and is treated as the second coming of Jesus on LinkedIn

seriously. i mean watch knives out. they're failing upwards. most of them do coke, and go on benders, and crash cars into ditches, and take boats out on lakes and then wash ashore drowned. they're fucking morons.

born into the right place at the right time. this isn't a meritocracy guys. its a myth they use to keep you showing up to work on time to make THEM more money.

95% of getting rich is being born to the right family and knowing the right people

and one last thing---

it's not that hard to do what they do. they make it look hard. i used to think it was to dupe us into thinking they earned it, but now i think its more like they need to convince themselves that they deserve what they have. if you get everything handed to you, its meaningless. you did nothing to earn it and it's not what you even wanted. you're inheriting a golden cage of your predecessor's design. having money fucking sucks y'all. it alienates you from everyone around you.

all they did was raise the minimum buy-in of the table. you must invest at least $20K to see any kind of substantial return. anything less is poverty to them. that's how they keep the poor people out of congress. must be THIS ivy league educated to ride this ride.

I'm not rich by choice.. I'm an asceticist. My talent is manipulating others personally. I don't typically act on it

kek that's Perelman, Jewish guy who turned down 1 million because he was disappointed by the lack of morals in the mathematical community.
He is living as poorfag with his mother in Russia, picking mushrooms from time to time.

Compared to 95% of this world I am fucking Albert Einstein.
Intelligence and wealth do not correlate. Time and chance, anon. Time and chance.

>The most successful people are ones with actual talent, not just the ones who were gifted in elementary school
What? Aren't those both in the context of being talented?
Did a /b/tard write this?

perelman. he proved the poincare conjecture, one of seven of the millenium prize problems, and the only one ever solved, considered to be essentially the hardest maths problems ever.

he was awarded 1 million dollars but he refused the prize, first without even giving an explanation (IIRC he just didn't reply any e-mails or invites to the ceremony), but then claimed that his work was based off of other people who deserved the prize as much as he did.

this was especially astonishing, because everyone is working off of other people's previous work and no one ever had any issue claiming the laurels for themselves, so it came off as a blanket criticism towards the entire maths community.

I remember there was one american mathematician who was EXTREMELY upset that perelman was just objectively better than him, solving in a couple years what he dedicated his entire life attempting to solve without ever coming close, but he was especially seething that he didn't accept the prize money, which an american mind simply can't comprehend.

>thinking chance has anything to do with success
You're definitely just as brain dead as the other 95%

>>937158054
Yes its obviously fake

>>937158107
Humbling, this is why im glad I am not perceived as a genius in any way, too much pressure to be more than just existing

>>937158195
I know but it's retarded even for a fake.

>>937158107
Perelman at first uploaded his paper like it's regular shit, it didn't get much attention immediately because he wasn't some known name and only few could actually verify it.
Then some chink dude who worked on the problem noticed the paper and tried to spin it as his own work by "adding to it" and producing his own paper which he tried to push as the culminating work.
There was quite a lot of drama going on.

>being smart means you are rich
Wew lad, showing how hard you fail IQ tests isn't a good look.

Having the know-how and actually wanting to apply it are 2 different things.
