I did really like Schopenhauer. I know, people say he was a jerk to his mom, but his philosophy was one that I just totally clicked with...
Always find it a little weird trying to judge these sorts of things, whether to count yourself among a more "intelligent" group, but on the other hand it is frustrating seeing just how incapable some portion of people seem to be of seeing fairly clear facts, so it's worth remembering that average intelligence is only 100 IQ. You don't have to be a genius to be out of place in lots of ordinary situations. Anyway, interesting perspective & whether it's accurate or not, allows a feeling of relatability for those times you feel like you're not being heard. It's a tough world whatever qualities you've got and it does seem like the only route is to find your crowd.
Welcome to /o/STEM! This circle is dedicated to science, technology, engineering, maths, and medicine, where you can discuss all things STEM, seek career advice, share learning resources, and pose “ask an expert” questions to the Ovarit STEM community.
Please provide a descriptive title for your posts and add a flair that best describes your post topic. We encourage posters to add links to relevant articles or research papers in their posts and comments.
Since our focus is on STEM, posts should not be focused on politics, ethics, or philosophy. Any discussion on popular science or medicine (to include COVID-19) must be based on scientific principles and research.
This is also not the place to discuss diet, lifestyle, alternative medicine, or psychology. For these topics please check out o/women which is a general discussion circle and o/womenshealthlounge which is a support sub for health issues.
