too smart for you own good?

If your thinking is faulty because you're not that intelligent, then all the thinking you can do won't get you there. It'll just reinforce the faulty thinking.

like he said Thin line between psycho and genius, I think about relevant shit a lot, but I think about what most would deem crap a lot also. I believe thinking is the best sign of intelligence, is that not the mark of being intelligent? maybe your concept has been shaped by society? maybe you think to be smart means to have good grades or know the shit that They make you think you should know. Straight A Students are more like a computer, they just learn and retain in a efficient manner.


but what do I know I just think about random shit all day! :p

Well, I don't think that straight A students are smart, especially not in this country where you can be a half-wit and an honor student. However, I do too think a lot more about things than I should, and I find myself regretting it because it just destroys the fun of everything. However, I believe that all people think a lot, so, I guess, thinking a lot is not an official sign of intelligence. Like Jokerman said, if your thinking is wrong, then, how is that intelligence? Personally, I look at intelligence a lot of times from what kind of choices people make. Also, people are only smart because other people are stupid.

made some good points, a persons choices tells you alot about there intelligence I would say.

but who is to say someone's thinking is "Right" or "Wrong"? if you are thinking then you are Intelligent.

sure there are some that are more Intelligent then others, or rather come to more Intelligent conclusions and make better choices.

But then again, if you take Hitler for example, he was an incredibly intelligent man, but....
 
Actually, the most intelligent people often find it difficult to cope with reality, because they have a higher level of awareness than everybody else. They don't need to analyse shit, but they perceive things differently.
The smartest people I know, and I am talking real smart mothafuckers, not "A" students or anything like that, they all have psychological problems, and they all end up being alcoholic or heavy weed smokers

put me down as a heavy weed smoker.
 
to me you could tell if a person was intelligent or not by the life he leads and his everyday decisions and how well thought of they are.Analayzing aint got shit to do with intelligence, it's more of a characteristic, tend to be found more in suspicious people or people who look too much into details.

another great point. that brings into play "Perspective", who is to say what is a "Good" or "Bad" Choice?

you can say the same about intelligance, it is a matter of perspective if a person is "Smart" or not.
