Chapter One: An Aptitudinal Appeal
When I was younger, I hated my own intelligence. It made me different in a way that no one else understood. I was put in the Gifted program and subsequently into different classes than my fellow students. Throughout my school years, I had limited social interaction with students of my corresponding age group, and I eventually lost contact with them altogether. I gained new friends, but they were one or two grades above my own. This made my senior year especially lonely, and I lost all motivation to go to school and achieve high marks (Note that my grades were already slipping due to a lack of motivation). I dropped out, enrolled in a second rate high school, and eventually dropped out again. I started drinking and smoking (marijuana) at social gatherings, because I wanted to belong to some social niche. This was an effective method for some time. I finally felt like I belonged. I finally had the social interaction I was deprived of for nearly my entire life. I was a bird of a feather.
Chapter Two: The Demise of Detrimental Decision Making
Soon, however, I realized that this lifestyle was unfulfilling. Time spent with these people was frivolous and counterproductive. I couldn't even begin to understand how ANYONE could waste what little time we have on this planet doing NOTHING. It was aggravating to no end. I even tried to convert them to my way of understanding, but I made no progress. They were incompetent and illogical creatures of habit. I wanted nothing to do with them, so I decided just that. I erased them from existence (in the sense that they no longer existed in my view of reality).
Chapter Three: The Return of Reason
At this point in time, I had a job at Walmart, but I was barely making any money due to a problem-ridden vehicle. I had no friends, and I was living at home. I found that it was much more difficult to stop smoking than I thought. I believed like so many others before me that it wasn't addicting. This turned out to be nothing more than a common misconception among teens. I was addicted, and that was that. I tried tirelessly to quit, but again and again I found myself conforming to habit. I thought that perhaps too much free time was a contributing factor, so I applied for two additional jobs. I was hired.Eventually, this too proved ineffectual. The long hours were taxing, and the low pay was unbearable. I needed to complete formal schooling.
Chapter Four: Prospects
I took my GED and scored in the top 95th percentile (It was easy).
I'm attending college and doing quite well.
I haven't smoked or drank in two years.
I am a successful producer and entrepreneur.
I still believe people are incompetent and illogical creatures of habit.
I feel intellectually superior.
I am intellectually superior.

You are obviously a troll, or you obviously did not read what I wrote; however, I will oblige your request for clarification. I was in the Gifted program. They tested my IQ. It has since been tested repeatedly by accredited institutions. I am literally a genius.
I am a successful producer. I work with musicians. I make music. Is that simple enough?

Great, you flail around on an instrument - hey guess what, 90% of people on misc do that... You make music, are you a virtuoso and have an excellent grasp of musical theory or just another half-wit on garage band dragging and dropping canned beats?
As for being in the gifted program, I guess that means youre not a retard but I want to see some hard academic certificates that you are smart. Otherwise its just " i know i dont get girlfriends but my mom says im handsome"

You came on to the misc and started a thread by stating (claiming) that you are more intelligent than basically everyone else here. Perhaps you thought that telling a story about how you got into smoking a little herb was supposed to make us sympathize with you?
Intelligence =/= understanding of a persons basic thought process, eh? For someone who is so intelligent, you don't seem to grasp basics of human interaction. Imma peg you as having mild aspergers, am I right? I might just be pigeon-holing you there - forgive me if that's the case. I recommend spending a lot of time with Shakespeare - he would appeal to a genius's intellect and would teach you the understanding that humans have basically been thinking the same way for 500 years now and will most likely continue to do so.
Then you won't make threads like this (basically a challenge) and wonder why people are fighting you in it.~~~Misc Red Crew~~~

You have a very atheistic mindset. I say this, because you (like atheists) are unwilling to believe anything that is not quantifiably proven to you beyond the shadow of a doubt. For me, it is impractical to attempt providing proof of my accomplishments. I am also unwilling to do so, because you have no understanding of the purpose I intended this post to have. I am not making this post to boast or take any credit. I was simply attempting to help permeate a deeper insight into the mind of an highly intelligent individual. You can choose to believe me or not. If you are beyond 'taking someones word for it,' so be it.
