That being said, by any objective standard, I am much more intelligent than these people. And when this information becomes relevent, I am placed in an awkward situation, I can tell the truth and seem arrogant, or I can pretend that these hacks spouting ridiculous nonsense are on my level.
It's not a routine, it's mere acknowledgement of fact directed towards people who aren't intelligent enough to understand it. It's said in a degrading way, but what can I say, I'm an asshole, and if I'm obliged to say something to tear someone down, I might as well enjoy it.
"I don't like people who are arrogant and think that anything they do is inherently better than something someone else has done"
Really?
"It's not a routine, it's mere acknowledgement of fact directed towards people who aren't intelligent enough to understand it"
Cmon bro, this is an act! It has to be. Who is arrogant? You who just say that you are more intelligent and that is that.
"That being said, by any objective standard, I am much more intelligent"
This is killing me. Total lack of objectivity.
Some people who are really ****ing smart, and a lot smarter than you or I, just aren't as social. Ever thought of that one there smart guy?

Who are "these people"? All that debate here? Just the ones that you claim are too stupid to understand you? This idea seems a bit to convenient if you ask me, or am I next on the too stupid to understand list? That sure would absolve yourself of any need to actually be right, but I am confident that you know what I am getting at here.
I agree, there are some total hacks here. I know you know what I am saying, and I know what you are saying, but without explaining yourself better, you just seem like a guy that uses the tactic that I am saying so that you can dismiss what others are saying, valid or not for your convenience, without trying to understand what they are saying and then you are backed by people that just agree with what you are saying when all along, you didn't get what the other guy was saying, you know what Im saying? :2razz:
That being said, surely you are simply biased. How can you be objective about yourself? You can try to be, sure, but it is impossible. You aren't a robot, you are a self-admitted asshole that reeks of an inablitiy to remain objective. You are emotive and, as so, are unable to totally disassociate yourself from emotions, hence you are not objective.
Who dictacted this "fact"? You? Others that agree wtih you? Bias and adulation only reinforce misconceptions. You are smart, sure, but so am I. Who is smarter? How can you be sure? I know that I am ****ing smart, in fact, I am intelligent. I would think that an asshole that is also intelligent would just know that a person doesn't get it, if they don't, and not waste their time, for that smacks in the face as not really getting it, or do you justify that move somehow?
What if you have engaged with people here that are just simply smarter than you, and they let you talk your talk and it is you that doesn't get it? Not the IT that encompasses all, but the IT that they are talking about. It could be that simple, ego overrides reason and the guy that talks the big game is the one getting schooled. Yes? No? If you didn't get it, you would think that it was "they" that didn't get it, and you would go off about how much smarter you are and how they don't get it? Get it? Do ya? Do ya get it? :lol: It seems like you do, but since you are an asshole, you just might already be thinking that I don't get it and not be patient enough to really find out meaning that you probable didn't get it in the first place, hence you were just as plain ****ing wrong Mom's apple pie being served with Crème Anglais.
"I can tell the truth and seem arrogant, or I can pretend that these hacks spouting ridiculous nonsense are on my level"
Or you can listen and learn even from those that you are smarter than and realize that in most situations that it is not about being right.
"Obliged" ? Seems hollow, unless you are the drunken crazy person passed out in the gutter hoping to contend with Locke. Do you even listen to your logic, for you say some things that are totally right on and then you do the exact opposite in the same post. Is that intelligent? Holy **** that was a lot, I get going when I am the Devils Advocate, what a ****ing waste of time, unless you have something interesting to add, that is. Take it easy galenrox.
