I once was a very stable genius, I got good grades in school, tested in the top percentile in math and reading comprehension, and was told what a very special boy I was.
Then I expected things to stay easy. I became very lazy since I could half ass my way through classes. If something wasn't easy then I didn't care to do it. So I didn't develop the skills and behaviors to do things that didn't come easy to me.
Still, I managed to half ass myself into a decent career by finding something that was easy for me that's in demand.
Now, I'm an overgrown slacker who never really learned to work hard, but who also has an overinflated sense of my own intelligence.
On top of that, I actually am smarter than average, so I'm used to being surrounded with people who are wrong or misinformed, thus I am stubborn due to previous experience going with the crowd and finding out I was right all along.
Also I smoked a shitload of weed, and did a fair amount of other drugs .
Finally, I came to kiwi farms to argue politics. So I'm retarded now, but is that because I came here? Or did I only come here because I'm retarded?
