via http://ift.tt/2EdXOOf

“The word “Romantic” has a wealth and welter of meanings and connotations, but at least one of them derives from the French for novel, “roman.” To be Romantic is, somehow, like living in a novel, making the connections and meanings that create narrative from disorder.”

When I complain about being a ‘gifted’ kid who grew into a talentless adult I don’t mean that I’m not trying to work on my talents or anything

I mean that the ‘gifts’ I had are useless

Reading books above my age isn’t a talent when I’m not eleven

Knowing big words isn’t a talent when I’m not a kid, it’s just growing up

It’s just a weird thing that happens and it feels shitty when you’re brought up being told you’re an exceptional child only to realise as an adult you’re just average

This

I did a lot of reading about gifted kids and especially gifted adults when I got my “diagnosis” because I was told I was gifted at 23 and well, it serves no purpose to have a confirmation that you’re gifted at 23

Thing is, gifted children are not amazingly better than everyone else. Gifted brains just don’t work the same so they build their skills in a different order

Basically when you’re very young, most people brain learn social skills and how to interact with their peers, but gifted brains are already at the next step which is how to understand and interact with the world

That makes the stereotypical young children that are very good at math, always asking questions about how things work, very upset when they don’t know a thing

But the thing is, when everyone gets older, they’ve mastered most social skills and now turn towards understanding the world

But the gifted children have already mastered that part and are turning towards how to build social skills. Except there’s no one left to teach us about that! Because we’re late to that party

Long story short, at the end everyone, gifted or not, goes through all the necessary steps to make functioning adults, so the difference that was obvious as a child has disappeared

But us gifted people often end up with social anxiety and impostor syndrome because we are actually less equipped than others to face a world that taught everyone to be confident and talk to people while we were busy reading books above our age

……………that last paragraph.

damn.

via http://ift.tt/2CcKxUi

waragainstintelligence:

Identity has become the axis of so much university activism because, for all the radical posturing associated with it, identity politics does not threaten the established order of society. It promotes a moralistic and self-indulgent anti-politics, where a person’s use of language and the purity of their thinking matters more than confronting collectively the material conditions and social relations under which they are forced to live. It creates a simulation of political struggle - one that doesn’t merely fail to challenge the material inequality and unfreedom of late capitalism, but fundamentally aligns with the dynamics and interests of its atomised, spectacle-driven society. It is a perfect mirror of consumerism, playing-upon the individual’s desires for real freedom, only to perpetuate and prettify the conditions of their alienation.

godlessondheimite: There’s a lot of talk about

via http://ift.tt/2ElJnMb

godlessondheimite:

There’s a lot of talk about how characters don’t need to be “likable,” and this especially comes up in TV shows with its outpouring of antiheroes, but I don’t think “likable” is the right word. Characters don’t need to be good people. And to be more accurate they don’t need to be paragons of virtue.  But to some extent they do need to be likable because otherwise people wouldn’t be watching. 

There’s a lot of different ways of being likable, and there’s even more flexibility when you’re referring to fictional characters you watch on TV. A morally questionable asshole who’s kind of charming, like Don Draper; trainwrecks who are  trying to be better and consistently failing like Bojack or Rebecca Bunch; gleefully unashamed awful but amusing people like the Always Sunny gang; Tony Soprano; Walter White; the cast of The Wire–I consider all of them likable. I like watching them. If I did not like them I would turn off the TV. I would not like to work with any of these people, I would not like to grab a drink with most of them, I would not loan them money, but that’s OK, because there are different standards for fictional characters than for real people.

Think about the popular responses to Don Draper, Walter White, or Rick Sanchez compared to the backlashes against Betty, Skyler, or Jerry. Don, Walter and Rick are fanatically liked. Betty, Skyler, and Jerry would be the “unlikable” ones if popular opinion is any indication. Morally, the characters are at best equal, although the side characters are often better people than the anti-heroes. But they still get more hate because they are not the main characters and the writers don’t care as much about making the likable.

So it’s bullshit when showrunners and authors talk about how they don’t care about characters being likable: they don’t care about making characters virtuous. I think that’s an important distinction to make because anti-heroes tend to be charming and witty and skilled at what they do or have something that makes them worth connecting with. And that is absolutely necessary, and of course writers care about making their characters likable.

My name is Max. My world is fire and blood. Once, I was a cop. A road warrior searching for a righteous cause. As the world fell, each of us in our own way was broken. It was hard to know who was more crazy… me… or everyone else.
