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.
It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
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
