How does one know if they are stupid?
I have chronic self doubt and constantly feel foolish.

Stupid people also know they are stupid but know its stupid to tell others that they are stupid because they know smart people are usually psychos who will use them like fodder

We're all retarded, it just depends on how well you perform countermeasures against your own stupidity

play around with abstraction and conceptualization a bunch
there are pretty well defined levels of "stupid" ranging from treating categories as universal and rigid to multi layered concepts, category deconstruction, framework manipulation etc etc

Smart people question themselvesl; dumb people don't.
So you're on the right path, just at the bottom of he Dunning-Kruegar curve.

This is the smartest post, ironically.

Every genius I know will call themselves fucking retarded, often.
Every retard I know will call themselves smart and say they "know things."

It doesn't matter if you're stupid or smart.
It matters if everyone around you thinks you're stupid or smart.

It’s a lonely place when you start cracking into level 5 thinking. It’s a hard pill to swallow, seeing my friends and family stuck in 2-3 level thinking. It’s like they can’t break through some kind of conditioning. I’m not sure if I feel comfortable or threatened seeing another /pol/tard talking about these concepts.

If you find yourself constantly failing to complete various tasks properly or you're just incompetent with everything then yeah you're probably retarded. You don't need to beat yourself up about it since most people fall into this category of just being useless at everything and having no confidence in their workmanship.

The stupid are food, and the smart are predator. Just how the world is. Atheists are the most stupid kind in the world, and they usually become a fodder in war.

I feel they're just lacking geometric complexity in how they layer structures : it's like everything goes in just a few buckets and that's it
luckily it's not like any of this shit matters for everyday life

Not for everyday life, but it feels great to have this kind of awareness.

Stupid people know they're stupid; smart people sometimes convince themselves they're stupid, and sometimes pretend to be stupid to signal humility.

Midwits are the ones who believe they're smart or at least more intelligent than they actually are.

Midwits are people who behaved well at school and know to be subordinate to those who are in academia.

Their arguments are basically that we should all listen to teacher.

For guys - The more isolated you are .. the smarter. The less .. the dumber. Insane and genius guys tend to get isolated.
Normies can't tell the two apart but they effectively treat them the same.
Girls are allways dumb but it's fine for them since there's usually some semi-dumb simp killing himself or others to get some pussy from them.
Dumb simp guys is what women tend to go for because they feel closer to their level and they have backward standarts for men since they're so far below most men's intelligence.

Intelligence is a survival tool. 1000 years ago your intelligence would have been invested in planning/managing food supplies and making the best tools possible from whatever crummy materials were available (intelligence enabling your ancestors to do so with reduced mistakes because of the high costs). Socializing, education and the concepts your ancestors wanted to build stories from would have been much simpler and smaller in scope. Things are much more complex now and nothing in your biology has changed much since a thousand years ago aside from your gene pool not being condensed from a single village. We are all way out of our depth and wondering why nothing works right; we are functionally medieval primitives suddenly holding smart phones.

I’m basically retarded in every single way, like i couldn’t even pass pre-college algebra to get placed into a college course. The only thing I seem that have is an extremely high level of self awareness, and I have above average verbal and written comprehension. That must not mean anything though because I’m still just a 30 year old low skilled wagie.
