You ascribed something you think on an entire group of people. That is seriously dangerous and paranoid. So I am gifted, I am not in any way disgusted by anyone who is trying to learn on any level. You are completely wrong.

Ow...okay.
I was going here by the myriad frustrated posts I've seen about the slow, stupid masses, who can't keep up, only want to talk about shallow things, can't think critically or analytically, etc. Many smart people I see online are rather misanthropic and are never able to fit in due to their intelligence.
It's also kind of hard to grasp, for me, that someone obviously superior wouldn't be at least frustrated with "normals" and think less of someone who's just
less than they are. Like, why wouldn't you? Why wouldn't you be sneering internally everytime someone less intelligent than you tries to be on your level (I know at least some do that...)? Why wouldn't you scoff at people's ignorance?
Maybe I am paranoid, I'm sorry.
