I prefer easygoing intelligence

People who take themselves and life way too seriously are boring. Most of the time I’m not here to be the profile pillar of philosophical contribution. I use SW to medicate the cabin fever and keep track of some goals. I’m not sorry for it and I don’t think others should be either for babbling about whatever is on their mind/mood.

I can’t stand pretentious intellectual or spiritual circles who exist with an air of condescension about them 🙄 I remember when I was younger being so excited whenever I would meet someone who wanted to talk about philosophy and what not with me. What I learned is that intelligence is often wasted on the arrogant.

If you’re feeling like people lack depth, soul, but special unicorn you, it’s more likely that you’ve forgotten, or perhaps never learned, how to appreciate different forms of intelligence.

It’s likely you forgotten that many people, whether consciously or unconsciously, only discuss vulnerable topics with people they’ve built trust, which is a completely understandable survival mechanism.

The issue is likely that somewhere along the lines you decided you are the measurement of intelligence, how someone of intelligence should communicate and conduct themselves.

That’s all right. Plenty of people in the world. Easy enough to create an echo chamber, but people with narrow expectations miss out on a lot of what life and others have to offer.

Laughter in life is always good medicine however when you have your future destroyed shattered broken and cursed there's not always much to laugh about is there so sometimes seriousness is what it takes to hold on to any hope

True, but that’s moving the goal post of the topic some. This post is about pretentious intellectual snobbery, not a prescription for how people should cope with trauma, @ForesakenSoul

Some of the time it’s stuffy professor types, but I’ve I’ve seen it in all sorts of circles that consider themselves in one way or another superior. @ForesakenSoul

I’ve encountered quite a few of those types here and unfortunately they’ve all been women

Well I can't stand people who make a joke out of everything. It's childish.

You can appreciate the humor in life and resist the temptation to be an intellectual snob while still having tact. It’s interesting though that your train of thought created a false dichotomy there where if someone doesn’t take life or themselves too seriously they must lack the emotional intelligence to read a room. @SW-User
