Very tempted to go around calling joanna cherry by the wrong pronouns if she likes it so much. Or perhaps exclusively "poo poo-for-brains" given that is also covered. OwlFancier fucked around with this message at 13:31 on Jan 27, 2021 |

Bobby Deluxe posted:AKA the Rachel Riley problem. Brilliant at maths and quick calculations, but so poo poo at Humanities that she genuinely bought into the Corbyn antisemitism stuff, to the point that she took a photo of him getting arrested at an apartheid protest and photoshopped it to say he was racist. Jesus, this hit home for me hard. I had my iq tested in school when I was 12, then tested several times independently because the results I got didn’t seem to make sense- it came out as 166 (not sure what scale was used- this was 27 years ago and the paperwork is long since gone, but I ended up a member of Mensa for most of my adolescence, god help me). And it’s probably one of the things I regret doing most in my life. I was never very good at generic ‘work’ at school (undiagnosed ADHD, autism and depression saw fit to that) but because I was ‘objectively more intelligent’ than my peers (a quote from a teacher) and would be able to make amazing leaps and insights when my brain did get in gear, I spent the rest of my education being screamed at and punished for ‘not trying’ and ‘being lazy’. I also never learned how to study- up till gcse level this was fine; I got good enough grades (and sometimes excellent ones) because I was able to grasp stuff on first pass. Then A-levels and uni work hit, and all the wheels fell off. I think I ended up turning in about two assignments and passing three courses in three and a half years of trying to do uni. And again, in the eyes of my family and educators this was obviously me deliberately sabotaging myself out of laziness, for reasons. Also strong mood about the frustration at seeing things being done inefficiently etc. Due to an element of class privilege (I have a posh accent and am good with words when I need to be) at least this meant I sometimes got listened to- but then would end up put in situations and roles where I was just not able to manage things. Every one of my jobs has been a repetitive journey of ‘start at bottom, rise meteorically, become overwhelmed, crash and burn’. Ok, sometimes the behaviour of employers was to blame (2 for 2 on employment tribunals after leaving jobs due to said crash and burn). This is why I now make fudge and only answer to myself. Though my boss is still a total oval office. :p Anyway, I’m rambling like gently caress and can’t remember what my initial point was. But your post really spoke to me. Felt kind of nice to know my experience is not totally unique.

It is interesting that the refrain of "you're smart therefore you must do well in life" is such a perfect internalization of meritocratic propaganda. Like, no, smart people do not necessarily do well in life, there is nothing that selects for that, smartness counts for nothing unless it makes someone else money.

Also the inverse, that doing well in life does not select for smartness. Trump being chief proof of that.

The worst side effect of that has to be the post hoc assumption that "you do well in life therefore you must be smart" because, like, everything. efb but yeah that

And again, in the eyes of my family and educators this was obviously me deliberately sabotaging myself out of laziness, for reasons. Hey never-learning-how-to-learn buddy. Same here, I was able to coast through to the end of school, and only stumbled a bit on chemistry (which I still maintain is just physics explained badly), and super advanced maths, the first proper challenge of school, which I fudged (lol) my way through, but as it was a baccalaureate system those formed a very small part of my overall mark. Then at uni I crashed and burned because physics was difficult and boring at that level, and I had no idea how to study it or motivate myself. I'm now reading all kinds of things about ADHD and going "wow it's me" a lot. This isn't helped by the popular perception of ADHD as "trouble sitting still disease" - bizarrely, I did/do have trouble sitting still, and was fairly rebellious in my head, but all of this was overridden by my ultimate fear of being told off and getting in trouble - which I now think comes under "rejection sensitive dysphoria", an ADHD symptom. So I think my parents would be very surprised if I mentioned this to them, because I was a good little clever child, not a "naughty thicky" who needed Ritalin. The other thing of course being the inability to focus, except when hyperfocussing on something I love. Which I used to solve the uni problem by dropping out and doing something I loved as a job, and even then combining it with the fear of "getting in trouble" to force me to do work at the last minute, when I wasn't feeling it. Healthy? Meh, it works

Given our government are the people who spent the last 5 years loving the country mostly in order to regain the right to unilaterally close our borders, it is quite odd that they refuse to do it.

I'm frequently hearing defence of Bozzer, even from people who normally despise, along the lines of "who's to say anyone else would do any better?" which is such a great argument "yes m'lud, I did murder those 12 people, but consider that a different murderer might hypothetically have murdered 12 billion. I rest my case"

That's their exact argument behind why it's "CANCEL CULTURE" when people tell them to gently caress off and shut up, and "intelligent discourse" when they do the same to plebs, so this lines up pretty well as far as I'm concerned.

Bobstar posted:. So I think my parents would be very surprised if I mentioned this to them, because I was a good little clever child, not a "naughty thicky" who needed Ritalin. But rich kids who's parents have money get diagnosed. They get to go through school with a reason. And I think in some cases, there are rich kids who are just rude and selfish who get the right psychologist to give then an aspergers diagnosis so they can get away with being assholes. Since being online and part of autism communities you always get people who take 'autistic people can seem blunt or rude' at face value as an excuse. Autistic people are largely horrified if and when they find out they've offended someone. Also a lot of people who go 'oh I have a diagnosis of x and it hasn't stopped me living a full life.' Yeah, bully for you being told how to do that, but the rest of us just got a rubber stamp saying we'd have difficulties amd got told to gently caress off and look it up ourselves. Poor kids slip through undiagnosed in massive classes by overworked teachers. Their frustration and alienation mounts. Problem behaviours get them downgraded in which sets they're in. Without support they fail and are branded as just stupid. And I think there are a lot of the issues that drive some people into the prison system - poor impulse control, irritability, lashing out, oversensitivity - that could be ascribed to a whole slew of learning difficulties and mental health issues if the same degree of support was given to poorer kids as to rich kids. And while this is happening you have smug pricks like priti patel smirking about the death penalty for people who just happened to be born the wrong side of the line. Basically rich kids get diagnoses and support, poor kids get booted out of education and probably prison.
