Just as possible as dumb and lazy

Laziness is a myth. There are only motivated people, and unmotivated people.

It’s not “smart but lazy”, Bobo. It’s being middle-tier IQ. Let me explain: you are smart enough to realize you can be lazy and still succeed due to being smarter than a normie, but you are not smart enough to reach a higher potential that would inspire you to go beyond the normies. Pic related explains.

Same thing lmao

I love these spastic threads because for people with genuinely high ability doing well in school is trivial, but there are genuine geniuses who underachieve and from what I can tell it's because they're truly happy and satisfied living that way.

I imagine it's very cozy having a sky-high intellect but loving your ordinary life so much that stretching it is nothing but a bore. Jelly brainlets want to live vicariously through them but they refuse. A true state of contentment.

For me, any time I try to will myself to go beyond what’s necessary, I very shortly give up, not because of difficulty, but because I just feel like I’m wasting my time. I wish that I were raised in some society that demanded you to always be learning and working. I’m sure that if I went to a school that required me to read 20x the books I’ve read, or actually learn mathematics rigorously, then I would have done it with no complaint, because I just have to get a good grade. I’ve never had to do any hard work when it comes to learning and applying the abstract and getting a good grade. But for some reason I just can’t will myself to pursue academic topics outside of education.

When you're smart enough to max out your grades in school with no effort. Extra effort doesn't improve grades so you don't put it in.

Motivation is a myth. There is only self-discipline, and desire.

>>10780227
It’s quite simple. For a while in life intelligence is only valued tangentially. It isn’t until you get a job high up on a corporate ladder that you actually get to put your intelligence to some use, so until then why bother?

>>10780243
discipline is a habit like anything else. force yourself to do things you don't want to do and sooner or later you won't have to force yourself to do anything.

fire is a myth! there is only earth and water!

Self-discipline is a myth. There is only desire.

>>10782519
Desire is a myth. There only is.

There only is? What is there?!

Wean yourself off of stimulants. You'll thank me later.

t. getting off caffeine, weed, and alc with good results!

>>10782543
You had to think about it before I did, otherwise I couldn’t have responded, since you would have left me with no thoughts at all. Do you accept contradiction?

>>10782568
Contradiction is.

>>10782568
I don't think, I simply am.

Why bother if you can get at least a mid tier grade simply by showing up on test day?

wrong

Intelligence from mother, emotions and motivations and decision making from father. It means your mom was smart and your dad was a loser.

>>10782608
Literally the exact opposite of the case for me

>>10782608
I believe this as well. Core intelligence comes from the mother, along with sexuality.

That simply isn’t the case.

In my case it's partly from depression and ADHD, though I won't deny poor discipline is probably part of it. I feel tired and unmotivated a lot, and reading and classes have both always been hard for me because my mind wanders so easily. If something ever happens to really spark my interest though, I can dedicate a lot of energy to it, the hard part is mustering up energy when I don't really want to.
It's true that many people who claim "smart but lazy" are really just not that smart, but that's definitely not always the case, I know a lot of people similar to myself including a lot of my family.

There’s probably some truth to that assessment.
