I want to socialize but I don’t like or can keep up with average Mormon’s conversations.

    Mainly because it is weird to walk up to someone and ask wether they are smart, and even if they reply you can’t trust someone’s personal judgement about themselves.

    A good place to look for like-minded people that you can discuss intellectual subjects with are reading circles. They’re also a great way to read more theory and understand it.

      I think smart people will be more objective about themselves. When you are smart you know there is tons of stuff you don’t know but you also have to acknowledge you do know some of it

        Ideally yes but then there are people who vastly inflate their admittedly decent faculties and then people who are very insecure and sell themselves short in between whatever number of people can accurately gauge themselves
