There are hundreds of QTs from Nazis talking about how they were the smartest kids ever but the damn (((education system))) hampered them, and anyone who doesn’t believe that they’re hyper geniuses is simply a seething lib.
You’re supposed to get over the “I was a gifted kid” stuff by the time you’re 20.
The funny thing is, what they call “gifted” is just someone with a really efficient data storage and recall system. I was a “gifted” kid, always 98/99th percentile on every standardized test I took, but when it comes to things like synthesis of knowledge and generating new ideas, the truly creative stuff, I’m average at best. The educational system needs a new definition of gifted, new ways to identify those people and new modes of engagement to help them develop their gifts. That new definition still wouldn’t include these guys, though, who believe they’re gifted because they see through (((the conspiracy))). Bro, you’ve got narcissistic personality disorder, sit down and shut up.
Same. Read me a text then give me a multiple-choice test and I’ll get every question right.
Read me a text then ask me what I learned, what it could be a metaphor for, what other texts express similar ideas? Uhhhhhhh
