If you were born a mule, indeed your intelligence would be crippled and there would be nothing you could do about it.
However, much can be done to increase a healthy human's intelligence.
A lot of high IQ people are pretty dumb in terms of how they live life.

Yes, it is very hard.
Yes, it does point to deeper systemic economic problems which need to be reformed.
But, it can still be done. Success requires a lot of trial and error and persistence. Remember, you only need one thing to pan out. All those courses have laid some foundation. Now you're ready to pounce on some new opportunity.
Success in business requires being opportunistic and creative. You can't just copy what everyone else is doing. You must always be on the lookout for your niche. Always be thinking about how you can provide massive value to the world.
3D printing sounds like an exciting new field with enormous future potential.

Huge red flag. Your friend is not really a friend.
If he took care of you for one month that's maybe worth 1-2 months of rent, max.

Destiny is hardly "mainstream". He is very niche.

This IQ test was designed by a fool.
What does knowledge of English vocabulary have anything to do with intelligence?

There are many ways to do pickup wrongly.
Why are you learning from guys who don't get results?

@Joshe It's not that your statements are false per se, it's that you are overly focused on a small aspect of the situation. There is more to understanding Musk than focusing on his tweets or even his politics. Why would you reduce a complex phenomenon like Musk to politics?

All humans are my mind.

I know it is.
But it is no business for a philosopher.

Hi Nemra
I wonder if looking into the topic of "Autodidacticism" - which is Self-education as in education without the guidance of masters (Old days) and in our modern time it is without professors  and/or institutions - would help?
Here I can speak with experience as I have lived as an Autodidact and a Polymath. Polymaths are often autodidacts.
Here is a list of famous autodidacts:
Abraham Lincoln
Albert Einstein - taught himself algebra, Euclidean geometry, and calculus when he was 12. He also independently discovered his own original proof of the Pythagorean theorem, and he had worked through a geometry textbook he was given by his family tutor, Max Talmud.[64] When Einstein was 14 years old he says he had "mastered integral and differential calculus".
Allan Watts
Alfred Russel Wallace (Co-discoverer of Natural-Selection with Darwin)
Benjamin Franklin
Bill Gates
Bruce Springsteen
Buckminster Fuller
David Bowie
Edison
Elon Musk
Ernest Hemingway
Frank Loyd Wright
Frank Zappa
Galileo
Gustave Eiffel – The engineer who designed and built the Eiffel Tower
Henry Ford
Hermann Hesse
Jimi Hendrix
Johnny Depp
Julian Assange
Karl Marx
Le Corbusier
Leonardo DaVinci
Mark Twain
Malcolm X
Michael Faraday
Neil Peart
Nikola Tesla
Oprah Winfrey
Orson Welles
Russell Crowe
Sean Parker - Former President of Facebook,
Steve Jobs
Steven Spielberg
The Wright Brothers
Van Halen
Vincent Willem van Gogh
Walt Disney
William Blake
This list should tell you that Autodidactism is much more common than what one would assume. It often emerges from the lower and working class of society, where formal education is an unattainable luxury – although this is far from being a rule. An autodidacts will not let an obstacle such as a lack of financial resources stop him from learning. Until the advent of the Internet, Libraries were an important source of freely accessible knowledge. And the Internet is the new catalyst bringing to fruition the golden-age of autodidactism.
When one is young it is very difficult to know if Autodidactism is one's call. For me it was much later in life that I figured this out about my learning-style.
Here is a list of some of the personality characteristics that are more or less typical of autodidacts:
Self-motivated and NOT correlating learning to earning a degree: An autodidact is driven by passion, self-discipline, and internally-sourced interest to engage consistently in his studies. His motivation for the acquisition of knowledge is not for the pride of owning degrees or titles, or from pressures imposed by an external authority; but for the sake of knowledge itself.
Curious: Autodidacts have a strong desire to learn about the world and the various subjects they’re pursuing.
Disciplined: They hold themselves accountable to do the readings and work that they promise themselves they will do.
Systematic: Autodidacts study plans are internally formed and self-directed. Rarely they follow a rigid methodology of learning; but rather an elastic and malleable structure that is spontaneously and naturally formed, and which is adaptive to the continuously changing circumstances of life.
Goal-Oriented and Focused: Autodidact naturally set learning goals to guide their studies and their study plan. Being focused on something is not a part-time state of mind, but a continuous way of being.
Resourceful: They know how to find study materials, often free or affordable ones, that will help them reach their goals.
Natural Learner, fast and efficient who has a passion for diving deep into a subject with a great ability for absorption and and above average retention: Rarely an autodidact will be content with a ‘little’ knowledge, or a superficial degree of knowledge. Typically they strive for the core knowledge, and for the most advanced knowledge on a subject. Being on the cutting edge of a subject is natural for an autodidact.
Stands above & beyond the paradigm of ‘victimization’: Typically, an autodidact has no time, not even an instant, to feel sorry for himself. Being paralyzed by a sense of victimization is not a state on the palette of Autodidactism. Any and all obstacles that stands in the way of an autodidact is perceived as a welcomed challenge, and an opportunity to learn something new, or to learn something more deeply. An autodidact continuously shifts the obstacles that continuously emerges into a series of opportunities that shapes one’s life. Where most see complications, the mind of an autodidact sees avenues of potentials.
Life-long learner: An autodidact does stop being one. He or she does not retire at one point in her or his life from the pursuit of knowledge.
Polymath: Rare an autodidact limits himself to a single subject of knowledge
 
There are some advantages to being an autodidact - one being to choose the subject of study, their studying material, and the studying rhythm and time.
Autodidacts may or may not combine formal education, as a complement avenue of learning.
 
The horizon of Autodidacticism has been transformed by the advent of the Internet. As one of the effect of the Internet - A robust Fact-Checking ability has become an essential skill and a requisite for Autodidacticism. In our modern time an Autodidact must know how to detect and recognize misinformation and disinformation - which is prevalent in the medias BUT also exist in a very special form within some scientific fields - especially those of medicine; nutrition; climate-science; among others.
In fields like Art and Craftsmanship there are huge advantages to be an Autodidact.
...And Autodidactism is also a subject of Philosophy :-)!
 
... if you are an Autodidact type of learner you will not escape that destiny... 

They don't.
If there was agreement then why are conservatives freaking out about these queations?
A construct within a construct.
That's the power of the myth of "science".
I only ever have sex with myself

Could happen, but you can't avoid parental duty in this case. Parents could err in either direction. And mostly parents err in the direction of demonizing their children because the parents are closedminded and brainwashed with right-wing transphobia.
I'm all for a significant therapy requirement prior to surgery being allowed. This would be a good safeguard. But this will not appease right-wingers who oppose trans on existential dogmatic grounds.

@James123 i have done 8 g dried PE and it was awesome and pleasant. I have done 3.5 g dried PE and it was a nightmare and insanity was just around the corner. So fair warning to all. Dosages cannot predict your trip. But high dose mushrooms are likely more dangerous and psychosis inducing than low dose. Be well. Be safe.

I once got so dizzy from doing Sadhguru's yoga that I fell backward and nearly cracked my head open.
Spirituality can kill ya in more ways than one if you get sloppy with it.

@Raze yeah, but in that fight I evaluate us not knowing how genetics fully work yet as a stronger fighter than the thesis that genetics play little to no role.

That shows a lack of understanding of intersex people and people suffering from gender dysphoria. The ones who politicized this issue so much were people like you who have zero empathy or understanding of what it's like to have gender dysphoria.
When your whole idea of women is tits and vagina, you have no mental capacity to understand complex phenomena like intersex or gender dysphoria.

The video is there for you to replay.
He was prefectly clear. Just don't project your stuff onto what he says. Listen with a blank mind.

"Wealthiest nation" is a misleading measure. The reality is that most Indians were still wiping their asses with their hands. So your point is meaningless.
The British are not why India is underdeveloped today. If anything Indians today are better off thanks to British rule, ugly though it was.

You are trying to attend Burning Man on week's notice? Lol
Dude, Burning Man requiring like a year of prep and planning. Please do your research. Burning Man is no joke.

Here's how solpsism really works:
If you are not intelligent enough to figure out what solipsism means all on your own, you shouldn't be taught about solpsism because you are not intelligent enough to realize it, integrate it, nor appreciate.

As I said, it is good for learning formal rigorous thinking/rationality.
Learning rationality is useful. Learning rigor is useful for STEM type fields.

In a highly advanced society Trump would be serving a life prison sentence for all his obvious crime.
Enough gaslighting.

The solution to this issue is easy:
It is to realize that the ontological nature of reality is that it is consciousness, which is fluid and relative, not a collection of static material objects.
The key mistake of rationalism is assuming that reality is made up out of crisp discreet parts and objects. It is not.
There really is no such thing as a "child" or an "adult". These are convenient fictions that humans invented to help themselves navigate and survive. These things have no objective ontology at bottom.

@Adilbek I read your trip report.
Yeah, you got a nice deep hit of God-Realization.
Yes, it is insanity.
Yes, everything and everyone is imaginary.
No, you're not crazy and nothing is wrong. This is just the wonderful nature of Consciousness. It's an Absolute Illusion.
Yes, it is difficult to integrate.
My best advice to you is to start seeing the beauty of illusion. Reality is an Absolute Illusion and you shouldn't want it any other way! Once you embrace that, things get delicious.
I recommend you continue doing low doses of mushrooms to help you develop a deep appreciation for illusion and Consciousness. You've already done the hardest part. Now you can reap the fruits. Don't turn your back on God so easily. Confront your remaining fears. Look God in the face.
Just don't take high doses.

That's exactly right.
But it is also a function of one's values. The sad reality is that almost no one values truth or genuine unbiased understanding of reality, therefore they are incapable of good thinking. 
You can't become good at that which you do not value.
