And now le rant time
((Warning if you suffer from an inferiority complex or are one of those people who think they are special, you may get offended. In case you do, please hit the report button and complain to the Face Book Admins in hopes that they may have a fuck to give and take the post down.))
This time we talk about people who think that their perfection in a specific subject makes them intellectually special compared to everyone else. They see everyone else as intellectually inferior for using a word wrongly or not being able to perform a mathematical equation as fast as they can.
In this world inferiority should not judged based on the use of words or numbers. A person who is a mechanical or technical engineer can be focused on said skills all their life, but may fail in the use of English. By this logic, anyone who does not speak English correctly or misuses a word wrongly is intellectually inferior to you, therefore you basically are saying that in order for a human being to be intellectual, they must be a perfected speaker or typist. This however makes no sense, as some great inventions came from people who do not speak English at all.
Point being, the true intellectual does not go around bragging or demeaning against others, a true intellectual is an educator who is humble and willing to help others learn as a servant of knowledge. You’re not an intellectual, you’re a child who has a inferiority complex who needs to learn how to relax and not take yourself so seriously. Because when you do take things over the top and fall down the path of generalization or attempting to “Wave your E-Peen” around, you only aid in the problem that is mass ignorance.
Let us attempt a simple lesson shall we? Mental Retardation is a lack of normal development of intellectual capacities that can be a major hindrance to learning. Not to be confused with autism. When people utilize the term “retarded” as an insult, chances are good that they are using it to basically say “You (Sir or Ma’am) are incapable of fully understanding and most likely need clinical help due to your severe inability to learn.
Now then take that into consideration. You may have valid points but bickering or trying to play the “Who is the smartest” game is silly, a waste of time, and proves nothing of merit. Everyone needs to work together to share ideas and knowledge as equals. Diversity should never be used as a way to cut ties or demean someone, instead we need to use our diversity to become more educated.
End of le rant.
