most proles grow up where the one "smart guy" (SAT 1350) they know becomes a cynical atheist who hates everyone and tries to kick dust on his prole pals.

IRL smart people are spawned from UMC parents and happy as can be: always hiking or climbing a mountain somewhere while making big money at an easy job with their cultural elite bona fides.

it's bizarre to meet UMC people like this. they're pretty intelligent but were raised to think they were normal and don't have that outsider edge. of course at some point even guys like that become cynics and you get Kaczynski, but 90% of these guys are seriously happy working at Goldman or Google or whatever the fuck.

(Tufts alum)

He was smart but too in his own head to just slide and let do. A guy like that could destroy you in any intellectual endeavor.

did I argue that I was smarter than him

"retard smart" means youre too smart to shift into a lower gear when it makes sense to--I think it would be pretty hard to argue that Ted and your prototypical Harvard -> Goldman are the same level of intelligence

Ted also showed signs of extreme mental illness since he was like 2 years old and it got much worse when he was involved in psych experiments at Harvard and got rejected for sex change surgery

See, I don't think he was profoundly mentally ill. He just lacked a drive to center himself around.

If you parachuted him into an investment bank as MD, he'd whip the whole place into shape, find crazy efficiencies, run a tight ship.

Instead he was left to noodle around like a meandering guitar solo. He got caught on a nasty riff about machines ruining the world and kept playing on while nobody was there to listen or critique.

You may not have but his parents, family, teachers, psychologists, and pretty much anyone who interacted with him did.

And yeah I don't think living in complete isolation really helped him.

I don't buy the idea that he would make a great MD either. Your entire theory reeks of soy sauce.

This is retarded. Not everyone who is very smart would make a good manager, and the reclusive shut in who got so angry at his peers he sent them bombs is the least likely to adapt in a corporate environment and whip anything into shape

Yes but unyielding cynicism is a good way to seem smarter if you're not very smart.

I'm also like this.

The issue is that there's a certain range to it. You have your "lmao NIHILISM" Rick & Morty cynics which are the people you describe but you can go a lot deeper with cynicism.

Fine but all of that cynicism stems from fear. UMC kids have no fear because their lives were easy and will remain easy no matter what.

When your family is well off enough, you have temporary setbacks, not absolute failures.

Dude if you grew up prole, Law is a fucking insane opportunity.

You are 27 and making more than your parents ever will.

Oh, the hours are long, the bosses aren't nice. Tough racket, I used to be a salesman...
