OK. Understand something: I'm smart. Not Hawking/Einstein smart. But smarter than most people. Smart enough to be the stupidest guy in Mensa.
It's taken me until maybe a decade ago to really understand this. People knew this. Possibly as far back as when I was in 6th grade. But for whatever reason, normal people decided it wasn't a good idea to tell smart people that they're smart. I don't know if they think we'll just figure it out on our own or there's a fear that we'll take over and run things. Really, if they actually thought it through, what's the down-side of having the smart people take over and run things?
So yeah. Decades wasted. Everything that could have been accomplished if people had just told me they need people like me to figure things out for people like you.
