I have no homophobia. Why the homosexuality?

Well actually everyone is homophobic I have to expect, even extreme narcissists. It is as Confucius said, "Do not blame the mirror when it is your own face that is distorted." He fears that it is his face, and contorts his perception accordingly. So I would say self (homo) phobia (~fear) is fairly ingrained. This is partly why compartmentalization is possible, and necessary.

"I don't fear anything that's not me, ignorance, is the ultimate key."

Well, homo is "same" generally, but I'd say the same deal. It's like how they stole the rainbow. Just because there is a HOMOsexuality and a TRANSsexuality, now these prefixes are forever taken. No.

It just occurred to me, what if talking about your IQ decreases your IQ? Like a reverse placebo effect. Somebody should research this.

It's actually very possible. Some research has shown mental performance drops by like 40% in a negative frame of mind.

I'm pretty damaged and have become retarded since. No idea how much is strictly the psyche and self imposed.

what if being aware of IQ and caring about your IQ too much means your subconscious mind forces itself to work overtime in order to act like it has high IQ. This extra work creates cognitive stress, which decreases performance, your mind notices this decreased performance and it forces your brain to work even harder creating even greater levels of oxidative/cognitive stress, decreasing IQ even further. A vicious cycle.

I have a lot of thoughts about that. For a period of time in my life I tried to pull everything into the conscious frame, and made interfaces and methods of performing low level architectural re-engineering of the mind. All I can concisely say is that some processes are active, consuming energy to maintain and will indefinitely impose bottlenecks on other processes. And that anything you make your brain do, eventually with few exceptions, it will begin to do automatically. That doesn't mean the cost of doing it has disappeared. It's like the Tetris effect.

Yeah I don't know what to say. I think everyone should go to that level and explore some kind of metacognition, and then just train your mind to work as well as you can. Don't comapre yourself to other people unless you want to deconstruct and reverse engineering how they are or how they do.

What can you use an "IQ" for anyway. It's just a number. I suspect a lot of these IQ guys have some other source of insecurity they must identify.

Same here.
I'm not sure how to get out of that.
The more retarded I am the harder life will be the more damaged I will be the more retarded I will be.. I tried relaxation, changing philosophical perspective, coping... but it's too much of a habit. There has to be a radical solution to this.

"Change is only reasonable in the absence of constant demand."
-Me like 10 years ago

The attractiveness and motivation for non-traumatic change is pretty much eliminated with constant demand and the expectation of dynamic demands. I'm much too dug in now, and not completely paralyzed enough. I realize now I used to manage my mind using the external environment, and motion. I would take a walk through the woods at night because it was like a transitionary space, and when I emerged I would be something or somewhere else. Actually, the whole of my memory is full of hard lines and rapid change. When I lost that, I began to lose myself.

Don't know what the answer. I really let go at a certain point and started just walking everywhere. 40 miles per day, 20, whatever. Now I have a mortgage and so on. It's useful to have a place to live, however, there is a point where your land in fact owns you. I don't know, man. Maybe it really comes down to having tangible results from your efforts. Something you can hold, experience, or live within. Something real. This gives purpose and security in leaving the negative frame.
