The intelligence fallacy

submitted by ButtToucha9000 to TellUpgoat 3 weeksApr 16, 2024 11:32:32 ago (+5/-0)     (TellUpgoat)

Just a friendly reminder that you can't comprehend being smarter than you are. Or dumber.

We see different things in our world, in our relationships, in our conversations and we say "I can help them. Can't they see? Wtf the answer is so obvious!" But we forget that it requires certain levels of iq to comprehend certain things AND THEN APPLY THEM. someone may even understand in a vague sense what you're saying during the conversation and turn around and do the opposite again.

It's easy to get frustrated or to point fingers or look down upon ppl for this, but remember to check if they are even capable of actually understanding the concept in the first place. You can't get mad at a chimpanzee because it failed a math test. And it's OK to be the chimpanzee that can't do math. Jist eat your fucking bananas and stop throwing poop.

You THINK you can understand. You can pretend, but you cannot comprehend it. Your simulation is from the point of your own intelligence and it just isn't correct.
