@texasdaddydom Always a dangerous type of comment mate. Great that you clarified it, but I decided to stop making these types of comments, because of their possible offense taking. I felt the humour wasn't worth the risk.
Anyway, once again great that you clarified it!

@texasdaddydom let me clarify my self-debate then. In a certain kind of way, we all want to be intelligent. And we see it as a compliment if others think we are intelligent. In that regard, it isn’t a curse. However I’ve often noticed that it can be lonely as it is often a reason why you can’t connect with people, or respect them as much. Imagine if you were the most intelligent person on earth, could it be both a blessing and a curse then?

@kimmy159 I was going for a laugh that may seem juvenile to you but it seemed funny to me. Of course intelligence can be a blessing and a curse and not just in the case of superior. But if I was the most intelligent person on the planet I think I could find some way to relate to other people and have meaningful connections. I don't think my personality would change that much and I already value honesty kindness and humor above intelligence and my friends already. And if people are having trouble making connections being too intelligent would be an appealing reason.
