A title at the top of my page

I'm a normie who's also new to this weird corner of the internet Some things I like are: Math Philosophy/thinking (love hate relationship) Gaming (Hollow Knight, Minecraft (speedrunning), Ori, etc.) I'm a bit weird and probably use too much punctuation (srry :) ) My punctuation is probably a direct consequence of learning Latin... oopsies

I find this site very curious, oh so very curious. Nothing's quite like it, every time I post I get analysis paralysis as I don't know what is 'normal' here. Which is most likely good for my overall development as a person. Might expand on this or something similar later....

The Minecraft speedrunning community is insane, cause wdym people beat Minecraft in 7 minutes when I just got MY record of 36 minutes ON CASUAL (I hard died in the nether fortress :.) ). As I said: the community is insane! (And luckily also very nice and helpful <3 )

There are two types of philosophers: 1. Those that like thinking 2. Those that can't stop thinking We are not the same. Try to take a break when/if you need it :)

Happy pride month everyone!

I present to you:

My not anymore friend is surprised that pride month takes place on pride month!

(Translated: And you only say that in this month?)

I think that the measure of intelligence is the ability to do what you want to do. Which includes the ability to think in a way that you desire. An important counter-argument to my definition would be the question of whether people who lack the power to achieve their goals are unintelligent. Which I think is a good response, leading me to believe that it only applies to limitations from within, and not from outside. Though it should be emphasized that the outside could still be a hurdle overcome by a stronger mental fortitude, which means that an inability to overcome a hurdle from the outside could be a sign of a low intelligence according to our new definition. Now an important aspect I wanted to touch on (and the reason why I present this definition) is the matter of biases... We ALL are subjugates of our biases, but is that a bad thing? Does that make you unintelligent? According to my definition, I'd say that my opinion on this matter comes to light: IF you want to be completely 100% logical, your biases do make you 'unintelligent' (Though the effects of that could definitely be seen as negligible, as we've already stated that everybody has them). So then the way to become more 'intelligent' under my definition would be to analyze these and get rid of these biases, would it not? No! That's one of the two ways to become 'intelligent'. The other way would be to embrace them and to accept them, make them part of your whole. When you do not desire for your biases to go away, you do not have an internal obstacle to overcome! Which means there is no problem anymore. This leads to the idea that two people could have solved a mental hurdle in two very different ways, gotten two very different results, but they could still be equally intelligent in that aspect. Which is exactly what I appreciate about this definition. Now this is of course all arbitrary yapping about a system to define a word. And this definition does differ strongly from the social consensus (even though it does have some strong similarities), which means a different word might have better suited the definition. But this definition is mostly just a different way to analyze the world that surrounds us. So don't take this too seriously. Good thinking and happy pride month everyone! (DISCLAIMER: I did not intend to call anybody unintelligent or upset anybody, I do apologize if I did.)
