Why Smart People Don't Care About Being Social | Schopenhauer

It's not that life sucks, most people do

[@ruprecht9997]

I am no genius, but like to engage in theoretical ponderings. The key for me is that what happens inside my mind can at times feel much more rewarding than participating in social functions. Still, isolating completely from others is probably not good either, and I feel energized from crowds, like at shopping malls. I go with the flow, as do everybody else, each with our own mindset, different plans, objectives etc. I do not really observe and analyze others like some "alien species", but I look at faces, trying to detect emotions, and feeling that I am part of humanity even if not capable of much in the way of friendships.

As much value I give towards being alone & recluse, I must say that a large part of me craves to have someone around to share & communicate theoretical ideas with. As I've gotten older it's been rather a bleak thread of nothing but a constant pendulum swing of my thoughts regurgitating itself till I happen to come across one or a few of such whom may be deemed equals & not merely opposites jabbing at the likes of my "off-kilter" passions. Apparently its considered cool to eat a hefty bowl of nonchalant cereal until a few words morph into a colossal body of people not finding you to be interesting & cool to be around simply given(not to equate introversion with being nonchalant in any way)

Whatever you do, distance yourself Especially and SHARE NOT your thoughts with women, and do so purposefully and with extreme prejudice. And I mean it : Women are the antithesis of reasonableness and profundity, and cannot coexist with either one of these things. They are the Enemies of clear thinking in their own minds, and in Yours. Ignore this at your peril. ☝️

There’s academic intelligence and there’s emotional intelligence, you must blend the two together that makes sense to you to live a happy and fulfilling life. Just because your smart doesn’t mean your an alien, staying in your cave all day contemplating the cosmos writing down your thoughts and ideas no. There’s plenty of intelligent people out there wishing they could find people they can relate to, you must know what you are seeking in order to find what you are looking for and work towards those goals, personal or interpersonal. We are not just a reclusive humans living alone with nobody to talk to, reading books all day no, we’re at the gym, we’re talking to girls, we’re making babies n making money and where havin’ fun while doing it. It’s certainly not just black and white like he’s making it out to be, I can read a chapter in a book in the morning, work 8 hours, hit weights, pick up a couple buddies, then go tune some bird down the pub n take em home, fk their brains out n send home in the morning. Thats what I call emotional intelligence. Don’t be a simp and go full lock left or full lock right, you want to stay somewhere in between and mix them together. Intelligence is a gift not a curse, use your head and figure things out for yourself, don’t just rely on videos like this, tho i did enjoy this video, my 2c

Life is absurd

[@zshah3107]

True, 75%!

[@aubreyleonae4108]

I have nothing to say to most other people; I know they can neither comprehend or feign interest in anything I think about. I've tried and they all have the same negative reaction.

[@Yatukih_001]

Smart people are constantly preparing for the next smear campaign, which is why they not only do not care about being social but do not want to have anything to do with being social, as not being social is a defence mechanism.

[@Abitibidoug]

It all makes perfectly good sense. Imagine a 1000 horsepower engine, revving at the redline, powering a generator and the output goes to a 1 watt lamp. Notice that only a small amount of the power being produced is actually going to light the lamp. The rest is wasted overcoming all that internal friction in the engine. The smart person realizes that a lot of wasting time on useless pursuits like gossip and other trivialities is like the power wasting internal friction. Instead they put their time and life energy into more useful and rewarding pursuits.

[@Michael0663-qo4wx]

That’s an interesting analogy.

I have bifurcated myself. The other me has written and published books. I had to subdivide myself to exist in both worlds at once.

[@PravdaSeed]

Thanks However the Monsanto noise @ the background Not necessary ⁉️

[@PhilosophyFanatic-S]

[@aubreyleonae4108]

I'm just like that but I claim no brilliance.

👎 Life does Suck Sometimes, Anyway!

[@dennyrose3689]

No wonder why smart ppl end up more lonely and depressed. They think there so smart and above socializing. Only if they were smart enough to understand life is about being social. Not forcefully but definitely have to put effort in doing so.

[@crippsverse]

Missed the point.

[@Mariannalivingston999]

Life is not about being social - it’s about finding inner peace

[@dennyrose3689]

@@Mariannalivingston999 Oh really, so wonder why God created communication & language if it was all about finding inner peace. Why do we have the ability to speak?

[@Mariannalivingston999]

@ so smart people can tell the dum…. People to F off and leave the alone 😂😜

[@lightningstriking7]

Life is what you make of it. I hate being around people who talk and talk and talk about useless crap. Socializing is for people who are insecure, lonely and can't or won't make important decisions that have to do with life. They all listen to the same crap, agree on the same crap and are all of like mind. That is to say that you are all very boring and predictable idiots. Go down by the river in the middle of the night by yourself... I guarantee you there will be no feelings of loneliness or despair.
