I remember being 15. That's why I'm alright with treating 15-yos as idiot kids

The older I get the more I realize everyone is an idiot. I'm an idiot, everyone I work with is an idiot. Politicians are idiots. Celebrities are idiots. Old, young, doesn't matter. We all float down here and you will all get treated like the idiot I am ๐Ÿ™ƒ

I'm confused, why?

I'm 50 and I don't think I'm an idiot. I don't think I was an idiot when I was 40. I don't think I was an idiot when I was 30. I don't think I was an idiot when I was 20. I don't think most people around me are idiots. Somehow we must have a different definition of "idiot".

I'll have you know I was extremely intelligent at 15. Tested genius levels, at least 95th percentile, probably as high as 98th.

I was still an idiot kid.

Do we make rules for the mainstream, or for the exceptional people?

It's neat you were so exceptional, but you could then understand rules weren't made to keep you safe and that leading by example was your role.

I'm not sure you understood my point.

I'm sure that most people don't:-P

Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
