When he was a teenager, Nash was indifferent to what his age-group thought of him. I was sensitive, which meant that I was psychologically normal. The Parasites who make all their money off us want to create the false image that a High IQ is perfectly satisfied with being a loner. The saddest part about that is that some of us fall for this self-image and wind up like Nash or as self-absorbed escapists.
In grade school, I never allowed myself to become interested in anything intellectual. I did my homework, but was afraid of going deeper. Without even realizing it at the time, I was inhibited from getting high scores on tests. Getting a A would stigmatize me with my classmates. In my working-class neighborhood, an A student was treated like a freak and a loser.
Before you make the required comment about this being the reason they stay in blue-collar jobs, you should ask yourself whether blaming the victim benefits the Parasites. The truth, if you allow yourself to think it instead of going against your nature by thinking what they tell you to think, is that grade school and high school are designed to kill normal desires in High IQs and to get them not to expect material rewards. Creating such wimps allows the rich parasites to exploit talent mercilessly without risking rebellion from those who create all their wealth.
Another of our mortal enemies' victims, the Unabomber Ted Kaczynski, lived a few miles from me in the same kind of programmed anti-intellectual neighborhood. I never met him, but I can understand him better than any of the professional analysts and criticize him as an example of the Stockholm Syndrome. He hated his own mind for the loneliness and exclusion from normality it caused him. The destiny and purpose of superior minds is to look on Nature as raw material and exploit it mercilessly. The Unabomber's reverence for it showed self-hatred and escapism into a childish fantasyland. He and Nash went insane because they accepted higher authority and blamed their fellow students for the nerd-bashing that the system is purposely designed to provoke in the average kid's mind. Most High IQs are in denial about this and get uncomfortable when it is brought up. To cover up their cowardice in taking the wrong attitude towards our preparatory humiliation, they pretend they can dismiss it by saying that, "It's over, forget it." But it's never over, is it? Not being paid to go to college and being exploited by Low IQ MBAs is just a continuation of it.
In the 7th Grade, I slipped up and outed myself. For the first time, I got hit with nerd-bashing. This is the only bullying we should be concerned about. Other people have large and well-financed support groups. So far, unless you're foolish enough to include the escapists at MENSA, we have none. I've tried to change that, but the powers against our having pride are too strong. However, we may be able to get a few individuals who are angry enough to go outside normal channels to wipe out the Parasites.
The slur used back then, in 1960, was "brain." I was stunned. I myself had thought that A students were weirdos. In 6th Grade, we had this one girl like that and even though she was normal, I followed my programming and imagined that if she had been a boy she wouldn't like sports, TV, amusement parks, etc.
Right away I sensed that the system promoted this humiliation, so I didn't blame my fellow students. To protect my reputation, I purposely got low grades. My teacher, a nun, talked to me about it in tense, frustrating, hopeless, and oppressive lectures after class. She had been the one to first expose me to ridicule by telling the other students how smart I was. When I told her about the reaction that had caused, she cruelly dismissed my sensitivity. Like John Nash, Ted Kaczynski, all the others who self-destructively wind up reacting like the authorities want them to react, I was expected to live lonely and despised for the next 10 years. Then all of a sudden get rewarded handsomely. I refused to accept that. You can see what happened to John Nash when the non-intellectual part of the reward was getting a beautiful girl. It reminds me of the news story about a model who would fast for two weeks, then celebrate after her modeling job by indulging in a big feast. One time her body reacted to the sudden shock and she died from it.
No matter how much I tried to convince my classmates that I was "just one of the guys," the stigma of being smart stayed with me. Jealousy? Wouldn't they then be jealous of star athletes? Something they couldn't do? Same refutation. The answer is that they were programmed by the Parasites to humiliate us. So get out of your comfortable and treasonous illusion that it is anything else.
It was only when I made out with a beautiful girl on vacation that I proved to myself that everybody had been wrong about me. For about 6 months after that, I was confident and popular in social situations. Then I made the mistake of falling for the Parasites' self-serving propaganda about having a wonderful life ahead of me if I'd only obsessively devote myself to schoolwork. I dropped out of social life when I was ahead. When I finally re-entered it 3 years later, I was hopelessly and permanently behind. When I first read John Nash's biography, I felt jealous that he had the luck to marry a hard-to-get woman so soon after he finally got interested in the physical rather than totally concentrating on the intellectual. But it didn't turn out well for him, so I had no reason to feel cheated. He was too far gone when he finally felt the urge to act like a normal guy.
