Great Minds Gone to Waste

Being a person of high IQ can can have its advantages and it should have advantages. After all your smarter than everyone else right? You should should have a better degree, get a better job, make more money etc. But unfortunately that isn't always the case. Society is structured around winner takes all, the hardest workers and the slimiest snakes get to the top of the pile, while those with high IQ unless trained to excel in this type of environment are not necessarily primed to becoming great achievers in society. Especially if they are brought up under the guidance and indoctrination of the public education system. The public education system neither prepares you for the real working world nor does it place emphasis on enriching the minds and creative potential of those who would naturally excel (in theory) due to having above average IQ.

Public schools favor one type of person with certain learning traits, those with strong left brain cognitive function who can memorize and regurgitate information. Those who can do this the best can pass exams and score good grades thereby becoming the top students. The memorize / regurgitate system is however not a sure sign that someone has actually learned something because if it is not stored into the long term memory it will inevitably be forgotten. It is also not a sure sign of someone being actually intelligent. Short term memory skills are kind of like lifting weights, in the short term you may gain muscle mass and become better at preforming the same repetitious tasks but it is not a guarantee that you are actually healthy. You can smoke a pack of cigarettes a day and gain muscle mass, and you can just as easily become lazy later on down the road and have nothing to show for months of hard work performing repetitions weight lifting.

I decided to call this blog "real answers" because I wanted to show to the world what this materialistically structured society can do to to people who actually are of high IQ. The people who should be our Doctors, Lawyers, Leaders and Role Models. In the old world structure of society the Priesthood was at the top of the food chain, which is still the case but has been masked by politicians who appear to be in power but are actually controlled by a financial and "spiritual" elite. Most modern people reject spiritual values as outdated or bizarre while the financially elite keep for themselves the hidden knowledge about the control of society through indoctrination into a very limited and closed off system which favors one type of "intellectual" and casts all others to the side. But if you want proof that a priesthood is still in control of society all you have to do is look at the money. The US Dollar bill which is the benchmark currency is loaded with occult symbols like the all seeing eye, the pyramid, the star of David, and even the phoenix. These symbols were put here there for a very intentional purpose and that purpose is control.

I don't think I have to explain to you how money dominates the daily activities of nearly every "adult" mind in the country and also the world. You go to college so you can make more money, you take financial loans so you can get a better degree so you can make more money. People take out loans so they can work their asses off in college much of the learning is only short term learning so they can pass exams so they can get a better job with more responsibilities which requires them to work their asses off for many years just to pay back the loans to get to that position so they can work their asses of for the rest of their lives. And this is a successful life? Now compare this life structure to that of nomadic people or even easterners who focus more on their spiritual life and a natural harmonious lifestyle. These people are no less "intelligent" they have just simply not been indoctrinated into our western Americanized way of thinking. Thinking about money. The Buddhists Monks refer to our western lifestyle as 'active laziness' in that we are so cut off from the true meaning of life we are in effect running in place, striving, pushing as hard as we can to get something that at the end of the day may completely elude most people, especially those who are "successful".

Welcome to Real Answers Blog where I tell it like it is. But most people don't want the truth. The truth is often times not easy to handle. Its like if I tell a sports fan that their beloved past time is completely pointless. They don't want to hear something like that. But think about it, grown men are paid millions of dollars to play games which would normally be allocated to children. And they might say "well, its only for entertainment" Watching a guy get kicked in the groin on funniest home videos is entertainment. But most sports fans are far more obsessed with their entertainment than that. They are crushed if their team looses and elated if they win. They spent their weekends, the only free time they have, focused on this game and that game, oh and then there's the "big game" don't even think about bothering them during the "big game". Imagine if all the billions of dollars that is pumped into pro sports were used to fund programs like solving world hunger and creating adequate social programs for the homeless. I'm sure that in the right hands these problems could not only be seriously cut down but could be ultimately solved. But instead of doing something about it countless millions of people drift off into la la land with their games and shows and burgers and beer and leave these problems to someone else to fix. And so the problem is perpetuated by the millions of people who refuse to wake up and see the extreme error of their ways.
