Just wondering. How come adults never check kids when they make fun of intelligence? If kids think theres something wrong with being smart, isnt that planting a bad seed in their head and encourages them to be underachievers or is it necessary to prevent the creation of bigger egos which therefore leads to an increase of ignorance due to ones pride of feeling that they are 100% perfect

It's uncool because people who are perceived as geeks are also perceived to be socially inept which is arguably the most powerful attribute to have. This is only a perception though. Geeks and nerds are perceived to be aloof to the outside world. We qlso have a tendency to think that these traits are mutually exclusive.

Some of my "friends" in high school thought if would be cool to pick on and steal from this "nerd". I put a stop to all that shyt and befriended dude. He would legit down play his intelligence to fit in. We are still friends to this day. He ended up going to an ivy and is a legit muilti millionaire now. Buddy made some good investments that took off.

I'm probably his only non millionaire friend at this point and I know he appreciates what I did for him back in the day. Befriending him was probably the best thing I could have done. All them cool popular kids.from my hs somewhere working an hourly job or selling weed with 3-4 kids talking bout they high school days.

people are threatened by intellect, particularly from a black man.

black people condition other black people to value trinkets and a backwards culture for their own personal comfort.

people realize that if you can think for yourself, the bullshyt games they play won't work.

nothing more, nothing less.

also, there are numerous forms of intelligence.

People are intimidated by intelligence as its the one thing they can't buy off the shelf.

Seeing someone who sports it makes them feel inadequate in ways they don't truly fathom, nor accept, in themselves thus its easier to project this distaste outwards and say "She is... <insert whatever>" as they go on their way.

Life is a book, those who don't read are doomed to be stuck on the first page.
Although there are many kinds of intelligence...

Combine getting your mind, body and life right then you're a triple threat.

This just sounds like something a angry geek says.

I was nerdy Af all through school. Glasses, honors/ap classes, playing jrpgs, watching anime, reading comics, constantly reading books, studying random topics n discussing them with everyone and all types of general nerd shyt. The thing is I had mad friends from all across the spectrum. I got bytches. My house was the spot. I sold green( I put flavoring on Reggie n charged 10 a gram back when that was unheard of lol). Ppl are naturally attracted to intelligence. Women especially.

The problem is dudes get looked at as lame n think to themselves “ man they don’t like me because I’m smart” :mjcry:.

When the truth is you are probably awkward and arrogant. Or just ugly:yeshrug:.

Its very rarely that kids go “ ahh man you made an A on that test?! You’re so fukking wack for that!” nikkas are just incapable of self reflection/ self awareness. Same with bytches.
