You culd easily call it autism, but imagine being around people who will never understand the way you think. Every day of your life is this attempt to deal with people who can't comprehend your shit. It's basically everyone's biggest fear

Autism correlates with mental retardation actually

Well considering it is mental retardation I wouldn't call it a correlation and more of a causation

[citation needed]

The more complex the machinery the more it can fuck it in design plan.

Insanity is a genetic feature of our advanced brains usually resulting in genes for our neurological format being mutated slightly altering our personalities.

I do not believe that your premises are sound.

Further, I think those inclined to agree have an unvoiced position of 'kindred spiritship'.

an insane person sees the world as they want it, self mastery at its finest

what if stupidity is caused by mental illness?

This idea of the "red pill" that knowledge is like some edible, Biblical apple shit that once you eat there is nothing more you can learn is exactly why /pol/ is filled with people with no critical thinking ability.

Fuck off reddit

back to pol with you

Because they can generally see the world for what it is and the world is insane.

...

Autism/insanity/intelligence are probably linked with similar genes. Yes, intelligence genes exist despite what liberal media tells you. There's roughly a dozen or so genes linked with intelligence (ones we know so far).

So infraction on these genes create a brain that will see what other normal people can't.

they aren't insane, they're aware of the occult truths and other people are insane to believe the lies of popular consensus.

this.

They still fail to understand the true meaning behind the universe.

Except those driven to suicide. They have glimpse the despair that really exists in a brave attempt to escape the evil that the universe has wrought.

Consider the following: A person with an IQ of 130 is two standard deviations above the norm. A person with an IQ of 70 is two standard deviations below the norm.
Imagine dealing with people who are two standard deviations (or more) below you every day of your life.

Complex systems are easy to break.

>'smart people are insane' meme

And you also gotta imagine that these people have no idea what a standard deviation is.

>Why are smart people so much more likely to be insane?
Do you have some kind of citation for that?

Most people tend to think of John Nash, Bobby Fischer, Vincent Van Gogh, etc.

Temperament and Feminine intuition are two very interesting aspects of this issue.

We're jacked into the true reality.

>Why are fast cars so much more likely to crash?

Genius is insanity that works.
