- Are you, in your estimation, intelligent?
- Are you wise in the way you apply that intelligence? (interpretation yours)
- Do you view yourself as unique and individual, or as a data point on the spectrum of humanity?

dandelion ( @dandelion@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) 2•5 months agoAre you, in your estimation, intelligent?
No. Particularly I get the impression other people get things faster than me, and I seem to have to do more cognitive labor than my peers. I guess I would ask what “intelligence” is, that seems like a difficult thing to quantify or answer.
Are you wise in the way you apply that intelligence? (interpretation yours)
No, I generally consider myself unwise. (It takes me a long time to learn from my mistakes or change self-destructive behaviors, etc. - it often feels like I have trouble “adulting”.)
Do you view yourself as unique and individual, or as a data point on the spectrum of humanity?
Both, how else could it be? (We are both subjects and objects, unique but usually only slight variations of a theme.)
souperk ( @souperk@reddthat.com ) 2•5 months agoAre you high? 🤣 Jokes aside, I would be interested to know why you are asking these questions.
- Yes, I am intelligent, a lot of people have been impressed by the speed I digest a new piece of information.
- I have wisdom to know that intelligence plays a very insignificant part in shaping my identity. As for putting my intelligence into good use, I am not sure I can answer yes. I am too idealistic for my own good.
- IMO humans are unique and similar at the same time. Though, we got to be careful when trying to identify our similarities (see biopolitics, especially M. Foucault).
Pudutr0n ( @Pudutr0n@feddit.cl ) 2•5 months ago- Somewhat, but nothing remarkable.
- Recently, yes. Usually, no.
- Somewhat unique, but nothing wild.

🎨 Elaine Cortez 🇨🇦 ( @Corno@lemm.ee ) English1•5 months ago- My teachers have commented that I’m a fast learner, so I would say yes, somewhat, or at least someone who catches on to things quickly.
- I’m usually the first person in my group of friends to notice a scam or something/someone being off. I guess you could call this street smarts.
- Honestly, I think everyone is unique in their own way!
As for your question title, this isn’t breaking the fourth wall, this is a post that would fit right in on an Ask community! 🙂
