    I KNOW I am smart.  I prove it.

    I think you are proving your point about yourself as well.  Just saying things out loud because you feel like it, does not prove a thing.  Anyone can just babble.

  • No.  I know a little bit about a very small group of things, mostly of no importance whatsoever.

    A part of being smart is being able to relate to others, and i fear you are missing this dear one.

    You are a smart woman I assume but you have proved it to no one but yourself, this is why it's a delusion.

    Challenge some of your beliefs, see how they hold up. Are you really really smart, I vote no. I vote this way on everyone I haven't met personally. You might be the most intelligent person on the planet though. I take time to respond to you no matter what you say because I appreciate you. You make me laugh, not something I do often.

    As always much love.

    No I don't think I'm really, really smart. I'm smarter in some ways than others.

  • Nope. I *might* be average in some areas, but not math or computer programming or extremely detail oriented tasks.

  • Such is the plight of modern mediocre humans: Jack-of-no-trades and master of nothing. It is a painful existence, but at least we have A/C.

  • I am really really smart. There is no delusion. But that doesn't mean I know everything

    What will come next? This technology is not going to keep growing forever, especially when inflation starts to rise more and more.

    I love AC, Heating and cooling Installation and repair is actually one of my ptofessions. I didn't have AC until after I left home and the first few places I lived I didn't turn on the AC because I was used to being without and didn't want to pay for extra electricity.

    Oh really, dear one?  I seem to be able to communicate with a whole site, dear one.  You come on here and get on some platform of LOVE and putting down others who happen to have ideas you do not agree with.

    That is passive/aggressive, dear one.

    And you saying what you think about people's opinions of me?   Don't embarrass yourself, dear one.

    At least when I tell you nice things, I AM GENUINE DEAR ONE.  And when I am pissed off, I respect you enough to do what it takes to get your attention.  DEAR ONE.   You are attacking everything you do not approve of and hiding behind these fake words.

    I am fine with how people view me.  At least they respect the fact that I know what I am saying. DEAR. ONE.

    The only thing you are not smart in, Mr. B, is thinking that is a measurement of your intellect.  We both know you are very quick upstairs.  You are in the wrong place for your gifts. 

    I have no clue where the right place is.  If they don't appreciate you, screw them.  You are close to what you are good at, you are just going after the wrong job, I think.

    Yes, everyday, more and more, I know I am smarter, with all the dumb things that are happening in the world all the time. Sometimes I say, to myself, "I could do that better!"
    Dumb things in this world:
    1. Why a city would spend $55 million on incarcerating so many people in one area of the city of Chicago, when they could use that much money to improve where they live so the problems could be solved. Programs could be set up to help them learn something, even create jobs. Teach people how to fish and build a pond for them.
    2. How we think that increasing the military more than what it is to fight more wars in order to protect "our investments"? Are our investments worth that much? Why not just give the investors cash? We spend trillions to protect oil companies or other corporations. The math doesn't make sense! I don't see how destruction of a country helps solve problems.
    3. How we expect people to live on salaries of $7.25 an hour and wonder why they need food stamps?
    4. There is just so much work to be done!

  • I agree Mr B.  There's so much to know, and so many places to find it.  I do not possess the discipline needed to pick a subject and follow it, and follow it, and follow it.  There's too much by the roadside of that journey that's just too interesting to pass up making a detour.

    I don't have A/C (if you mean air conditioning).  There are maybe two or three days a year when it might be necessary so there's little point.  Now, if you could come up with something that has a similar effect on rainfall, I'd be very interested.  :)
