Yeah. That last bit of your edit is the entire reason why I doubt any of the numbers .... Him scoring higher than me, that's kind of expected.

Bluntly, if I'm actually in the top 2%, then I don't want to live on this planet anymore... Because I'm downright goddamned removed at times.

I don't mean removed as a slur, I mean, I exhibit traits of someone who is mentally held back (aka mentally removed).

Don't at me.

Edit. Dunno why that word is now "removed" ... Some automod thing I'm sure; I'll let you all fill in the gaps.

As they say, there's two kinds of people in the world, those that can extrapolate from incomplete data.

    Yeah, I know what you mean... I also have wished to not live on this planet for a long time now... a whole lot of my life has been... extrapolating from incomplete data, then forming my own theory, then finding actual academic papers that have done the same line of reasoning but actually got funding to properly study it...

    ...and then most of the people in my life acting like I am a crazy person... and then about 90% of the time, 5 to 10 years later, sometimes even more quickly, what I concluded was likely to happen just does actually happen, and all the people in my life just don't mention or care or apologize.

    But also, at the same time, in many important life aspects, as I've described in other comments in this thread... I've been uh, deficient in, and had to put in an abnormal amount of time and effort into getting those skills/abilities up to a functional level.

    And yeah, a number of either comms or whole instances on lemmy have automod for the r-word, and it is annoying, because the term does have a literal, medical/psychological meaning and usage that isn't just a derogatory insult, as wll as other contextual, domain specific, non derogatory meanings.

    Somewhat ironically, I bet I can here say 'lobotomite', and that won't be automodded.
