Which is the curse, built in risk aversion. 🥴

I avoided it by coasting, they did testing in kindergarten and I realized fast I didn’t want the attention. Especially being treated like a trophy by my dad.

Do I regret coasting now, of course. Do it for your self-confidence, later in life you’ll be happier you did.

I say it regularly, I would prefer to be ignorant… At least then I wouldn’t be hyper aware our species stinks.

The later half is so true, early on when you’re a statistical anomaly you can get special treatment, but once you become a small problem or the skill backfires they blow up as if it couldn’t have been seen coming. They expect 100% efficiency like you’re a battery to sap and don’t care how it affects you mentally.

Go with what makes you happiest, most often more effort can lead to less rewards. Ultimately you have to find your comfort zone.

Agreed 100%, being a specialist in something always has led to someone taking a pot shot at your deficiencies.

I get what you mean… though, I feel like an IQ test is a biased test, I took one as a teenager and scored high. Which was a morale boost at the time, but a few months later I had medical problems and ended up having a stroke and had to basically start all over with speech, motor and memory.

Sure, I survived. But I went through every therapy, started back up and realized I wasn’t close to what I was before. Which was crushing, sure I knew it wouldn’t be the same and I’m still above average, but the latent memories of my capabilities before constantly haunt me.

I didn’t mean to depress anyone, just enjoy the blue zone if at all possible. I constantly try remembering, it can get worse. /hug

So if he claimed it was 2.5 billion, but is inflated by 2.2 billion, his net worth is more like 300 million?

I just looked, seems it’s only available to purchase. 😢

That will eventually be their go to for dealing with others, making it a norm will make the public question when aren’t officials projecting?

They want to numb the public to the point we stop paying attention, the sad thing is for a large part of the population, it works. Like parenthood, there needs to be repercussions, otherwise why not lie?

It also proves that people who don’t understand AI, think you can simply AI everything equals success. This idea will be a huge money pit.

But, that’s exactly what the company that gets the contract is praying for.
