In a video posted yesterday, Forney reviews a book by another fellow with a thread here, Aaron Clarey. The irony of watching a moron, in a rambling, unedited video, critique another moron's rambling, unedited book attributing their social and professional failures to high intelligence is pretty unbearable (comparable, in fact, to seeing a grown man with Forney's views on women doing the hoverhand). You keep hoping for the aha moment when he realizes he's looking in a mirror, but it never comes. Since Forney has mentioned Charles Murray before, I thought he would show some awareness of his widely accepted thesis that the systems of American society increasingly favor the intelligent, and maybe try to defend his delusion against it. Again, I was disappointed.


Highlights:
3:00 Forney had trouble in elementary school because he was too smart, difficulty in high school because he got lazy. No mention of college.
4:50 How to resist the natural temptation to believe you're an idiot when you keep acting like one.
6:13 Obligatory loveshy content: being intelligent makes it hard to find a woman on your level.
11:10-13:55 When it comes to failings that Forney doesn't share, Clarey is just rationalizing.

9:23 "If I didn't know who Clarey was, and I picked this book up without knowing who he was, I would assume that Clarey had an IQ of like 90."
. . . but he's actually a chum of mine and shares a lot of my opinions, so that can't be true.

Ironically, every time a woman shows up who's highly intelligent, they treat her like crap--because these intelligent women ask questions in an effort to "catch up". The men interpret it as "shaming" or "trolling" and start calling names or telling her she's stupid. Then, when she shrugs and leaves, forever to not care about the issues at hand, they high-five each other for getting rid of yet another attention-whoring "special snowflake".

Of course, they're also not as intelligent as they rate themselves. Sort of like their attractiveness: not even close.

To this sort of thing, I have but one thing to say: Purple" monkey golf <9&*( sublimate pants.,.,.,,,...!!@!?

What? This is condensed brilliance, thank you very much; many people's lives have been changed by what I just wrote. Your IQ must not be high enough to understand me, you conformist. *sigh* The burdens of genius, I tell you...

Whenever I encounter some disenfranchised/unsuccessful person railing about how their lack of achievement in life is due to their intelligence being too high for anyone else to make proper use of, I can only think: "Really, a genius cannot figure out how to influence society to their benefit? Even if they're being disingenuous about liking and dealing with other people, and deep down inside they truly are unable to form any kind of meaningful connection with their fellow man, even then, they really, truly, cannot figure out how to play the social "game" and at least parlay an entry-level position at whatever job you can imagine into something more than, well, grousing online from a basement lair? Really? Is it REALLY their intellect that's failing them? Or perhaps their personality?"

In other words, it's not that you DON'T know how to act to get ahead, you'd just rather not HAVE to....

There's a word for thinking like that, and it's not "unappreciated".

Pretty much. Even if someone's a genius, if he never does or says anything with it, he may as well have been below average for all it mattered.

In the foreword to Danse Macabre, Stephen King wrote that having writing skill is like having a knife. Some people have a small knife and other have a large sword but if you do not take the effort to sharpen it, you can't cut anything.
