I feel genuine real pity for you Your_Boy
It must be awful to believe you very great and special but have no real achievement that anyone else will admit about you


No thanks, I'm not really interested in pity. If you have some sympathy, I'll take that. I listed plenty of accomplishments & there are many more that I could never really finish talking about. People WILL admit things about Me. I just don't know any journalists. How would a journalist even theoretically find out about Me? That whole improbable verification thing is absurd, really. Maybe hop off the bandwagon & learn to come up with your own ideas. I assure you, lt's quite liberating. Anyway, you know what they say: "If you're not [ticking] anyone off, you're not dong anything worthwhile.".

I don't think feelings are getting hurt. I think Your_Boy is like me in that might seem upset or excited but really isn't. Strong wording opposed to strong emotion.


Thank you. You are absolutely correct.

Just so you know thinking you are the best ever, is not really a rational/logical mindset. I mean you mention it enough times in this thread I dare say that is the emotional side coming in. I mean why do you need to be 'the best or superior' there is no logic in thinking you alone are better than every other human just because you feel you tend towards more logic than emotion.

I mean why do you need to be 'better' is there really a 'logical' reason for it? You aren't better than everyone else, hate to burst the bubble but there is no way in hell you are better than everyone no matter how hard you think it.


One thinking they are great is not logical. One knowing they are great is logical. I only mention lt because I have to, people keep challenging lt instead of focusing on why I actually posted. If nobody challenged the fact, then that would be the end of that subject. If I keep arguing that a wall is a wall because people keep challenging the fact for some reason, am I getting emotional? Ofcourse not, I'm just trying to open their minds to the fact, lf possible. I don't need to be, I just am. If I suddenly found out that I am second best, then I would be second best. I wouldn't cry about lt. Besides, second best would still be pretty good. You're looking at a logical discussion in an emotional way. The facts are that I excel in most vital areas, whereas pretty much everyone I have come across fails at them. This is something I noticed & served as evidence to the conclusion that I am superior. If I thought emotionally, My conclusion would be more akin to, 'Everyone sucks & I rule, so I must be better.'. See the difference? No evidence was listed for the second one. It is entirely based on emotion. I am not superior because I want to be, although I'm certainly not opposed to lt. I am superior because I match the criteria for being superior.

When you read My posts, you get upset, because you see My superiority as an attack on you. None of My posts are intended to attack anyone. There is a distinct difference between, 'I rule.' & 'You suck.'. My superiority is of no consequence to you & there is no reason to be offended by lt. Your entire mode of thinking is based on social norms. Social norms dictate a stigma against narcissism & anything similar to lt. You have no evidence to unsubstantiate My claim, you just have a biological imperative to strike down on what society tells you is wrong. If the stigma didn't exist, then I guarantee that you wouldn't be debating this fact.

If someone else came on this thread & said, 'I am the best ever, better even than you.', I would not get defensive. I would find lt interesting, since I'm the only person I know who has ever claimed to be the best. It's not like people are lining up to compete for best person. I am the only one saying so. But anyway, I would simply ask the person what evidence they have to support their claim. If the evidence holds up & they truly are better, that's wonderful. That would be a really great person & that person desserves praise for being so wonderful. It's all about facts, not feelings.

@Aquafelix The definition of the phrase, 'fall for', is to believe something without reservation. Like I said, I considered the possibility that I was being baited, so that would be reservation. I'm not sure why you believe I was provoked. I politely & meticulously explained why I disagree with Firemonkey's assessments. For some people, this may be an indication of provocation, but I am naturally this way. I cannot admit to something that is not true. I assure you that I was not upset for a moment. The only thing thus far that has bothered Me even remotely is the belief that Naturalplastic & EzraS share about autism being a disorder. This is not true & this sort of thinking is very dangerous for autists, who are just starting to become less antagonized by society. Despite this, lt has had no effect on how I replied to them. I have replied to every person thus far as lf I were talking to a friend.




Quite frankly it's nonsensical to make a blanket statement that ASD is not a disorder. Yes for some the gifts outweigh the negative aspects, but that is far from true for all. The bottom line is however gifted you are ,or think you are , certain areas of impairment must be present to be diagnosed as being on the spectrum.


Well, as I said, low-functioning autism is a disorder. The lower your functioning, the greater your disorder. Afterall, lt is called low-functioning for a reason. But no, HFA is definitely not a disorder. HFA's only experience distress because of how we are treated, not because of how we are. We tend to develop actual disorders due to this distress, which anti-autistic NT's take as evidence that these disorders come bundled with autism & therefore autism must be a disorder. It is impossible by nature for autism to be a disorder because lt is impossible to be born with a disorder. Disorders are not genetic, only predispositions toward disorders are. Disorders are coping mechanisms, reactions to negative environmental stimuli. Living in a toxic world & having your mental & physical health severely deplete as a result is not the fault of the person. It is the fault of the environment. In an ideal world, a utopia, disorders would not exist.

@Firemonkey Exactly. Motor speed should not have an effect on IQ. Nice one. :lol:


All I know is in one regard I'm considerably intellectually superior to you, but in another regard I'm intellectually inferior to about 95-99% of people here. That's having a spiky profile for you.


That is true & I am not offended in the least. That's great for you. It must be nice to be able to think quickly. My mind has Windows XP speed. We all have our strengths & weaknesses. That's what makes life interesting.

If I understand you correctly, you are suggesting that I feel that I am great & am rationalizing lt afterward. Assuming that to be your meaning, no, that isn't true. That would be a neurotypical conclusion, but I'm not neurotypical.

It is quite the opposite. I have logically concluded that I am great & am feeling great about the conclusion afterward.

What, exactly, are you “great” at?

You might be great at nuclear physics...yet such at actually building a bomb.

Then, I wonder: are you getting your jollies through reading our rather rather perturbed responses?


I already answerred this question. You should consider reading My other replies. Yes, I do suck at some things, plenty of things, in fact. I'm not claiming to be perfect or without fault, only superior.

Most of the responses do not seem to exhibit significant perturbance. But even so, no. I do have some minor sadistic tendencies, but I'm not here to troll anyone. Everything I have said thus far is sincere.

The score you provided and the score I got indicates that you are at least 2SD less intelligent than me . I have no doubt that for others here there's an even bigger gap between them and you.

It's time to knock this silliness on its head . You're probably not even the brightest person living on your street.

If you have discovered an all-encompassing cure for cancer, you would be great.

If you feel you just have superior intellect, yet don’t use it for the common good, you’re just some person who has an over-exalted view of yourself.

I don't claim to be great-----because I don't have enough altruism to be a truly "great" person. I'm pretty okay.

My problem: Is that I'm pretty okay with being pretty okay most of the time. I wish I had the power to find a cure for cancer. I wish I had the power to change the geopolitical situation. But I don't....so I'm not "great."

I think it's a great thing to do----if you can get a homeless person off the streets, and working. Through your efforts. And the homeless person's efforts. I have not done that as of yet.

If I can get a depressed person to believe there truly is beauty in the world. Then I feel like I have accomplished something. Perhaps, I have saved that person's life.

If I can get a woman who weighs 100 pounds, yet considers herself fat, to have a more realistic view of herself, then I would have done a great thing. Because the result would be that I probably saved that woman's life.

I wish I was Leonardo Da Vinci. But I'm not...so I have to settle for being the Wolfman.

This whole thread basically consists of;

"I'm the most wonderful person on earth"

"Are not"

"Are too"

"Are not"

"Are too"

"Are not"

"Are too"

In fifty thousand words or more.

A minute ago you agreed that the results are inaccurate. Or is that only when lt's convenient for you? You agreed that the Wechsler test is inaccurate & said that the other one is not highly rated. My IQ cannot be accurately gauged lf what the test is really gauging is motor speed, a weak point of Mine. I answerred at least 90% correctly, but I took 30 minutes to do so. That should tell you I'm pretty damned smart & pretty damned slow. When I find a better test, I'll get a more accurate IQ. The people on My street are: an old man who calls the cops on Me every Halloween, even though that's the only party I ever have; a family that constantly screams really loudly about the stupidest things; a super paranoid lady who makes everyone feel uncomfortable; a lady who has parties every day where she blasts the same song over & over again inconsiderately, but yells at Me impolitely lf someone blocks her car for a minute; & a mean old lady who destroyed My belongings, then tried to make amends & suddenly began inexplicably giving Me dirty looks all of the time. If you don't think I'm smarter than these buffoons, then lt is quite possible that you are the least intelligent person on your street.

So no actual testing involved. Just some questions asked by an MD. That's a pretty weak diagnosis. It would have been much more to your benefit if you had been examined by psychologist. Especially regarding your god complex. Was that compensator already in play back then or did it develop during adolescence?
