Maybe it's just my foul mood talking (no it's not) but humans are so fucking retarded. I can't believe I still have 40 years of this crap in front of me. I'd be a hermit but I am not wealthy or insane enough.
My soul is being destroyed. People still love me since I am awesome, pleasant and brilliant. But I find it harder and harder to maintain the appearance of giving a fuck. Imagine that everyone you meet is much, much more stupid than you are. Now imagine having it like that year after year after year. Gets really old.
I love interacting with humans in a social/hobby setting. But in circumstances where their tiny brains interfere with anything reasonably important I just want to withdraw. I can't be fucking bothered with their retarded shit.
Brain is turning into...me.
Hardly. I lack funds.
Get over yourself.

I have a similar problem except everyone I meet is smarter then me.
:hug:
I hate the work lemmings. Starts in the mornings with everyone streaming into the subways and trams or clogging the streets with their cars, because God forbid they come into the work place five minutes late.
Goes on with the cool office drones talking with fake excitement about the most inane things on their way to/from work, or during their lunch breaks. I have a profound loathing for groups of middle aged office bimbos who act like groups of thirteen years old. I hate the martyrs who work long hours - and I mean non-mananger types - and brag about it. I hate the people who build their life around their job that they hate.
I have pity for the people who tick away their days between mindless job/being jobless, reality tv and getting drunk. I scorn those who think they're cultured because they've watched a documentary about the pyramids once. I hate the fast food approach to docutainment.
I hate people who take something good and drag it into the sewer that is mainstream approval. I hate people who unquestioningly believe everything they see on tv and read in the papers. I hate when the lowest common deonominator becomes the yardstick for tv or movies or books or music.
I laugh at people who pretend to understand the world because they've read an op-ed in a conservative or left-wing paper.
I've stopped caring about politics. I used to care about politics, but year in, year out it was the same crap, with partisanship becoming more important than doing what's right and elections degrading ever further into a popularity contest, so I've stopped giving a damn.
And the list goes on and on.
I envy them. :mellow:
Oh, and I hate sitting in the morning, with a cup of joe and listening to the morning concert with the windows opened to a gentle breeze ... and somewhere in the neighborhood a Spanish couple are talking with a volume as if they're standing in my living room. Not because they're talking loudly, but because of sucky accoustics on our block.
I hate outside noises and have unfortunately a rather keen ear for them.

I normally shoot up at home.
I think all intelligent people have felt a profound sense of frustration with their fellow humans from time to time. Often it just means it's time to try something new.
Syt's rant also reminded me of that objectivist dating website:

[I am] short, stark, and mansome.
You should contact me if you are a skinny woman. If your words are a meaningful progression of concepts rather than a series of vocalizations induced by your spinal cord for the purpose of complementing my tone of voice. If you've seen the meatbot, the walking automaton, the pod-people, the dense, glazy-eyed substrate through which living organisms such as myself must escape to reach air and sunlight. If you've realized that if speech is to be regarded as a cognitive function, technically they aren't speaking, and you don't have to listen.

You post shit like that all the time. The only thing that keeps you from going on a shooting rampage is the certainty that it would fail, due to the Polish custom of tackling anyone with a gun.
That, and if a Pole has a gun, their inner jew hatred takes over and they go jew hunting.

I don't have a problem with stupid people per se. I know plenty of idiots who can barely tie their own shoelaces but whom can still manage to be quite insightful nonetheless. In addition, it's possible to be stupid but still a good person.
The dangerous and annoying people are the fundamentalists, fanatics and elitists, and they come in all varieties. Many of them with a sense of entitlement blown far out of proportion to their individual value.

Yeah. Most people believe they are above average in intelligence. Curiously, the dumber someone is, the more likely they will think they are more intelligent then average. Illusory superiority is an interesting concept. And there is no better place to find it then an online forum.

Okay, let me look for a moment.
http://www.apa.org/monitor/feb03/overestimate.aspx There's a lot more stuff. This is more about competence.
That seems to agree with you halfway. It says people with low scores were more likely to overestimate their scores, not that people with low scores were more likely to think their scores were high.

Them. Especially at places like Starbucks. The people who stop at the end of an escalator (WHY?). Slow people on pavements in busy areas (tourists, the elderly and love-bugs I'm looking at you <_<). All of them <_<
People (usually moms and/or the elderly) who tie up the self-checkout lanes at grocery stores with a giant cart of 30+ items (including produce that has to be weighed), while handling distracting children and then paying with cash and counting out each individual coin because they don't want to get change....should be shot on sight by automated machine guns.

Don't overweight black women use wheelie suitcases there, or are those too easy to steal? That's what the morbidly obese use here.
