You can do welding? No need to be dumb, it is fun. You can get a super high profile expert on some niche topic if you want. Like welding titanium.

also “gifted” is a funny way to say “neurodivergent”, and now, 2 years after finishing uni and battling my adhd to try to find a job - i’m realising that 1) i’ve never known struggle and have the determination of a water bottle, most likely because school required little to no effort for me to do good 2) the job market is full of lies, manipulation, and bullshit, and i’m used to the academia’s world of like, saying what you mean and being honest? 3) i wish i got to lose like 40IQ points so i could be a happy himbo doing sports or welding or something idc 4) your IQ means nothing, it’s a metric of “potential” and i’m so fucking tired of hearing about how much potential i have

every single used-to-be-a-gifted-child i’ve spoken to both IRL and online has been diagnosed with some neurodivergence
not saying it’s a rule, but the overlap is rather suspicious
