My biggest issue in life is that I am too competent.


Stupid people have it so easy in life, because they dont know that they are stupid.


But I know that they are stupid, and I have to live my life observing stupid people make stupid mistakes over and over.


And worst of all is, it is impossible to explain to a stupid person why they are stupid.


It cant be done.


If stupid person knew why he is stupid, he wouldnt be stupid.


It actually takes high intelligence to be able to recognize stupidity.


Stupid people think that stupid is smart. they are stupid because they fail to recognize what stupid even is.


I have plenty of things in my life.


I have food, place to live, and most importantly, I have smartphone to play games on. My brain works well.


But I cant say that I am consistently happy.


I am happy most of the time, but there are times when I look at the world and feel sad.


this isnt because there is something wrong with me, but because there is something wrong with the world.


the people in the world are incompetent, so they make the world bad.


But worst part is that most people think they are competent, and this is the most incorrect conclusion one could have.


Lets look at logic:


P1. World is terrible

P2. World is run by competent people

C. Competent people created a terrible world


the reason why conclusion is self-contradictive is because either P1 or P2 is wrong, and P1 isnt wrong, which leaves us with P2 being wrong. In other words, world is not run by competent people.


this is called negative deduction, where we logically conclude that if premises logically lead to conclusion, and conclusion is self-contradictive, then one of premises must be false.


So we dont deduce the conclusion in argument, but we deduce another conclusion that premise is wrong.


So yeah, world isnt run by competent people. to even suggest that yields a contradiction.


But ask an average person, and they will say they are competent.


So the problem is this:


A large percentage of people who think they are competent are actually not competent.


this is why religion such as Christianity promotes a person to be humble, to avoid this self-delusion. And for most people, being humble works because they arent competent.


But when non-competent people think they are competent, it makes it much more difficult for actually competent people to improve the world.


Sort of like piloting a plane where 1 competent pilot and 10 people who cant even fly a plane fight for control over plane. Of course competent person wont succeed in getting control there.


Same with anything else. When any competent minority fights for control against incompetent majority, it is always incompetent majority who wins.


And victory of incompetent majority is at the same time their defeat because they are not competent to do what they are trying to do, and just end up make things worse.


I support rule of the smart, not of majority. Majority can maybe serve as check so that smart people in power dont abuse their power, but majority rule is basically always rule of incompetent people.


So I propose a government system where only people over 150 IQ can be members of government council, where council elects its own members based on IQ test, and majority of masses can replace individual members of the council with another high IQ members, but only if 70% of majority of masses agrees.

The US is a definitively secular nation, founded on complete separation of the State and religion. The Left Wing of US realise this but don't realise that pure freedom requires as low tax and free access to guns as possible. The Right Wing of US don't realise that secular pure freedom means the LGBTQ+ and abortion agendas both end up in line with US's liberty-first ethos.

It is left-wing to be pro-life. You are backing poor babies being born at the inconvenience of the already-born. Go figure.

So says a boy of around 30 who sponges of his parents for a living.

Its not "sponges". I just let them work for me and they pay me. I am their employer.

In other words, a lazy sponger.

You dont believe it? Well, what is it that you believe? I obviously dont work for a living, and to be honest, dont plan to because working for a living is self-contradictive, you cannot work and live at same time. Krishna said to abandon all dharma, so I did abandon all work.

If you believe that I am 14, that is okay. I am fine with being any age except over 40 because that is old and decayed.

An employer who gets paid by their workers isn't a standard arrangement; usually, it's the other way around (

employer pays worker), but if workers are paying their "boss," it might be a co-op, a pyramid scheme (illegal), or a situation where workers pay for training/equipment in a legitimate business, or even a gig economy setup where they pay platforms for access, but the core is that the entity receiving money from workers for work is usually a middlemanplatform, or scam, not a traditional employer.

That isn't the key thing, in my eyes.


It's that he's proud of it and brags about his willingness to keep it that way!


There is a difference between being ashamed about that situation and taking steps gradually to get employed and out of it, changing your life bit by bit vs wilfully staying that way.

When children rule over parents, it is depicted in biblical contexts as a severe reversal of order, often symbolizing societal collapse, divine judgment, or spiritual decline

. It signifies a breakdown in the natural, God-given structure of the family and society. 

Biblical Interpretations and Context

  1. Sign of Judgment: Isaiah 3:4-5 describes a state of anarchy where God allows "immature boys" and "babes" to rule over the people, leading to oppression, disrespect for elders, and a collapse of social structure.
  2. Reversal of Roles: Isaiah 3:12 notes that children acting as oppressors is a sign that leaders have caused the people to go astray.
  3. End Times Prophecy: The New Testament predicts that in the "last days," disobedience to parents will be rampant (2 Timothy 3:1-5) and children will rise up against parents, even causing them to be put to death (Matthew 10:21, Mark 13:12).
  4. Spiritual Disarray: This dynamic is seen as the consequence of people rejecting God's authority, which results in a leadership vacuum filled by those unfit to lead. 

Causes and Consequences in Biblical Context

  1. Lack of Discipline: Proverbs 13:24 and 29:15 warn that failing to correct children results in them bringing shame to their parents.
  2. Rebellion against God: Rebellion is compared to "divination" and rejecting God (1 Sam 15:22-24), indicating that a child ruling over a parent is an act of defiance against divine order.
  3. Loss of Honor: When children do not honor their parents, it leads to a breakdown of order within the household and society. 

Contrasting Biblical Principles

  1. Proper Order: Ephesians 6:1-3 instructs children to obey and honor their parents, a commandment that has no age limit and is fundamental for a well-ordered family.
  2. Healthy Parenting: God is modeled as a Father who sets boundaries but allows for free will and consequences, rather than being an overbearing or entirely permissive leader.
  3. Christ's Example: Jesus is described as having submitted to his parents, despite his divine authority (Luke 2:51). 

Modern Interpretation

  1. Inexperience: This is not always about literal age, but rather a lack of experience, knowledge, and maturity in leadership.
  2. Disorder: The imagery serves as a warning of the consequences of chaos, where the inexperienced take charge.

I have long since assumed that in respect of their identity, SatanLucy AKA BestKorea is in fact either outright fraudulent or predisposed to fanciful behaviour....So I take very little, if any of their output at face value.


On two occasions recently they have made damning statements that clearly contradict their DebateCraft persona.


Also, given the nature of their output I would further assume that they are either a teenager or a very immature adult, probably residing in the US somewhere.

Well, sure, it is my fault. However, I cant feel guilt or fault, so even if it was my fault, I wouldnt feel it.


But here is a very wise advice. When you want to raise a kid, reading a few books on how to raise a successful child and following those books is much much much better than assuming you can make every possible parenting mistake there is and still get good outcome.

It's that he's proud of it and brags about his willingness to keep it that way!


But if I succeed greatly in life, my parents would be proud and would think they were good parents, and other parents wouldnt learn from their mistake.


Me failing in life is at the same time success because: 1. My parents deep down know they failed, 2. Other parents learn from their mistake so they raise their children better, 3. My parents dont get rewarded for being incompetent.


I have highest IQ in the world, and I know rewarding incompetence, even when it benefits you, is terrible long term. So rewarding my parent's incompetence would just be bad long term strategy because it would mean competence doesnt matter, and then that would ruin value of my competence as well.

That fact that your parents have money to give you shows they are successful. It is you who is a failure because you still depend on them for money.

You would think, but no. When person becomes too competent, he also becomes surrounded by much less competent people. Sort of like being so tall that everyone around you looks like a dwarf.
