Smart Guys/Gals - People who try way too hard to look smart

His facebook description:
I'm rough around the edges and opinionated but sweet to many. Anarcho-capitalist, open relationship researcher, gold bug, post-corporate entrepreneur, food critic. Hit my microblog @ http://www.2abd.com/

I hate Facebook chat -- add me to Google Chat @ adam.dada@gmail.com

I am passionate, expressive, selfish, egotistical, hypomanic, constructive/destructive and do not care one bit that you don't really like what I have to say, but I'd still love your input.

For those who don't know what I call myself an Austrian, Google "Austrian School of Economics" and read the wiki. You'll also learn why Obama/McCain both are terrible, the economy is only fixed by less government/taxes, and why the welfare-warfare state always wins in the end.

What the fuck is a post-corporate entrepreneur? I'm not the brightest bulb in the toolbox but how can you run a company without a company to run?
Also isn't anarcho-capitalist just synonymous with sociopath? Might as well be a radical libertarian.

I'm assuming post-corporate entrepreneur means a one man show that's going to stay that way, as opposed to starting a small business that you want to become a big business with an office and employees and desk name plates.

Aren't ancaps just libertarians on steroids? It is the favored ideology of smart guys, though.

Ehhhh that's still more of a small business with one employee. Or at least that's what he should want to run as otherwise he'll be fucked hard by taxes (at least where I live).

I'd think that, although a capitalist would love taxes (money to be made anywhere) and a libertarian hates them because everything should be private run. Anarcho-anything is generally really stupid and nonsensical though.

An-caps should count themselves lucky for being born in one of the most individualist societies in the world. Can you imagine a guy born in a hunter gatherer tribe whining about how he shouldn't have to give any of the food he hunts to the elders, that's theft? Great way to get tossed to the lions.

He's claimed to have like every job you can think of. He actually lives not too far from me, just outside of my city. I guess currently he's involved in indie filmmaking with some local chiropractor. All of the movies seem to indicate major issues with women/mommy issues.

It’s actually pretty fun if you aren’t either playing with a group that’s too over sensitive about everything (left or right) or with a group of dimbasses that will just pick the most “shocking” card no matter how well it actually works

What always baffles me is how many people use their IQ as a crutch. If you're actually as intelligent as you think you are, stop posting about it on Facebook and learn a new skill or go to college or something that actually demonstrates a combination of intelligence and discipline.

TL;DR people treat IQ like a literal power level that will somehow allow them to surmount anything without actually bettering themselves.

Ah yes, the History Channel, home to prestigious shows such as Ice Road Truckers and Ancient Aliens.

For a communication wizard he's not very good at conveying his message

He could just have said something like "That show isn't my cup of tea" and left it at that, but, no, he just HAD to quadruple down
