I barely finished high school.

>tfw only half-way in The Brothers Karamazov after a whole year of reading it

I only got a 1840 on the SAT

Brainlet here. Reading M. Mitchell "Complexity a guided tour". I feel it is way too autistic for me.

How do I cope?

When I read Stuart Kauffman I at least had the idea that I could follow him if just barely understand.

Here is a visualization of my brain

>tfw don't absorb knowledge very well
>tfw also seem to forget the things I rigorously study but remember the things I don't give a crap about

Here's a link to the brainlet discord: discord.gg/xNkqC

I don't even read books, I come here just to feel smart

Maybe you just dont like it, user, I'm a brainlet too and it took me 3 weeks because it was really a book I needed in that moment of my life, I didnt become a christian tho, but is just because I cant belive, if I was able to say "I belive in God" and it felt honest and authentic, I would be a christian, probably a roman catholic.

That's what I do on Veeky Forums

Fuck off, discord is so gay.
All those Veeky Forums related chats are always full of "omg so random" and "the word faggot is offensive Ok? This is not Veeky Forums xP" fags.

There's nothing more pathetic than insulting yourself

Kill yourself faggots; if you have no self respect then at the very least don't insult yourselves and work towards improving your processing power

>tfw only read introductions to philosophers and thinkers but tell everyone I've read them first-hand

Me too, I was too lazy, depressed and stoned to give a shit.
I always did good in philosophy and english, but I was a complete mediocre on everything else.
Maybe if I would had got on meds while I was on HS maybe I could have saved myself from the brainlet curse, but what you get is what you get, I guess.

Only got a 29 on the ACT after working my ass off
>ywn surpass the 93rd percentile
Kill me

Hi fellow brainlet

>Do you find yourself not being able to keep up with the not meme'y discussions on Veeky Forums?
lot of the times. I often wonder how some peoples here read so much, while working and doing uni
>Do you find yourself misinterpreting or just plain not understanding philosophical works?
All the time. I read few Plato dialogues in 2016, and even doing notes from what i barely understand but i lost my notes, and now i forget everything. I also dont remember some situations from bible, i read some time ago
>You dont know much about STEM related shit and find it really boring?
Yes. I even buyed book by famous logician from my country, because there was contest for writing essay about math book, and they paid good. Not only i havent wrote anything, but i stopped reading after two chapters as this was too "boring" and i never liked doing excersices. It was book about topology
>Do you stoned yourself retarded?
I dont understand this sentence as i am idiot, but yes, i read while being stoned many times

I dropped out at 7th grade.

Acknowledging the need for and undertaking self-improvement is a direct challenge to notion someone suffers from this bias

>tfw reading Baudrillard

Hi brainlet, welcome

TFW you forgot so much a out mathematics, you feel like you barely have a grasp on subjects like economics, and just have a hard time even functioning as an adult but youre trying to better yourself and learn.

>Do you find yourself misinterpreting or just plain not understanding philosophical works?
Looks like someone failed to misunderstand Derrida

What books should I read to become a grammarian?

Also what are some good books on autodidactism? Particularly on how to structure courses for yourself.

>What books should I read to become a grammarian?
Check out r/linguistics
>Also what are some good books on autodidactism?
I would suggest to find your own way of learning.

Grammar books
I hope my reply helps you, as a brainlet, it was extreamly difficult to articulate something coherent

I'm pretty sure this is literally every (non-academic) who discusses philosphy

Same here. H-hold me, anons.

I dropped out of secondary school, went to do a psychology degree as an adult leaner and dropped out of that too.

>tfw you cant think of a word for the idea you have in your head while writing
Just end it

>tfw people think you're smart because you talk softly and are generally introverted.

I don't deserve this.

>yet everyone assumes that our brains are, if not equal, then at least roughly so.
I have a similar problem. I am even unable to understand my own replies. Right now I am not sure what I orignally wanted to tell you. I think I wanted to say I have a similar problem if I look at what I wrote.

I am not even sure why I am in this thread again. I think it has something to do what OP wrote but I can't think why exactly I was doing here.

I hope you understand what I am trying to say as I am such a brainlet that I am unsure of what that was.

>tfw too dumb for Veeky Forums

Feel you

>tfw you just assume someone is really dumb if they think you are smart

Please post great brainlet writers.

Please stop with the self pitying posts

DFW

Could you explain that in simpler terms so us brainlets understand?

I have the brain of a sloth.

Hunter S Thompson
Karl Ove Knausgaard

>tfw you cant read for more than 3 hours and get to 50 pages MAX all these with the need of 3 cups of coffee

Thats why stopped going to therapy desu
>the rorschach tests says you are really smart just do what you like everything will be fine why are you even sad lmao now give me your mom's money xD
Fucking bitch

It's not enough that we're flooded by frogs every day - you now want a genuine /r9k/ general? Stop whining and do something about your problems, faggots.

>and do something about your problems, faggots.
Senpai. But my brain just isn't able to come with solutions nor do I understand others suggestions for solutions desu

Is not meant to be a r9k general, is for discussion of anything literary related but in a slow way, since smart anons are to intelligent to go slow.
Brainlets can post their brainlet thoughts, opinions, etc, without being told to kill themselves, and help eachother out.

Yeah, I no how many time I try, everything I read just goes over my head. Usually I just channel the subsequent frustration into a radical anti-intellectualism and memes.
