I will try and check those out, thanks for the reading list =D

But uh... yeah.

I had a terrifying 'validation' moment when I realized that +/- 1 year of when I graduated Uni...

That was the peak of average US literacy and math abilities.

I have always gotten a lot of shit for describing myself as usually the most intelligent person I know personally, in the real, in most social situations I am in...

And well now the chances of me personally running into someone on my level who is younger than me are approaching zero.

Most people I meet, even doctors, other kinds of professionals... they do not believe me when I tell them I have two degrees and used to work for MSFT, a Fortune 500 logistics company, that I independently taught myself how to code in multiple programming languages and SQL, unrelated to my degrees, that I have enough knowledge to build a video game from "scratch" (yay Godot!), because I have also been making video game mods for two decades...

They just think I am literally crazy and making it up, because I don't look or talk like a corpo type.

Yep, I just love it here.
