  • If I had to pick in no particular order, I would be Lore, Q and Reg Barclay. With the later two due to the the first being literally impossible.

  • Uh yeah, totally.

  • I remember as a kid, asking my dad when we watched, it only made sense to check regularly on the megalomaniac.

    He said, Captain Kirk was a cowboy and could be unprofessional, and not surprising he forgot. I assumed he knowingly meant to leave Khan to die.

  • Hmm, I see. What a complex web, can nothing be done to stop thier blatant thievery?

  • It's up to you if you just want to do the bare minimum...

  • I can’t unsee it now.

  • Thank god, it’s pseudoscience now. Though I was tested over 2 decades ago, it seemed silly they made a big deal out of it.

  • My grandfather privately had major depressive disorder and anxiety, and was a psychiatrist. So valid point.

  • Especially since gifted, is based on biased metrics that personally feel like they ignore a lot of other factors.

  • 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
