  3. Do you view yourself as unique and individual, or as a data point on the spectrum of humanity?

    Are you, in your estimation, intelligent?

    No. Particularly I get the impression other people get things faster than me, and I seem to have to do more cognitive labor than my peers. I guess I would ask what “intelligence” is, that seems like a difficult thing to quantify or answer.

    Are you wise in the way you apply that intelligence? (interpretation yours)

    No, I generally consider myself unwise. (It takes me a long time to learn from my mistakes or change self-destructive behaviors, etc. - it often feels like I have trouble “adulting”.)

    Do you view yourself as unique and individual, or as a data point on the spectrum of humanity?

    Both, how else could it be? (We are both subjects and objects, unique but usually only slight variations of a theme.)

    i think i’m no different than anyone else and if i’m wise in any way; then it came as a result of trial and error.

    2. Yes, I don’t try medial stuff because my skills and knowledge are not medial stuff.

    1. Somewhat, but nothing remarkable.
    2. Recently, yes. Usually, no.
    3. Somewhat unique, but nothing wild.

    1. My teachers have commented that I’m a fast learner, so I would say yes, somewhat, or at least someone who catches on to things quickly.
    2. I’m usually the first person in my group of friends to notice a scam or something/someone being off. I guess you could call this street smarts.
    3. Honestly, I think everyone is unique in their own way!

    As for your question title, this isn’t breaking the fourth wall, this is a post that would fit right in on an Ask community! 🙂

    Are you high? 🤣 Jokes aside, I would be interested to know why you are asking these questions.

    1. Yes, I am intelligent, a lot of people have been impressed by the speed I digest a new piece of information.
    2. I have wisdom to know that intelligence plays a very insignificant part in shaping my identity. As for putting my intelligence into good use, I am not sure I can answer yes. I am too idealistic for my own good.
    3. IMO humans are unique and similar at the same time. Though, we got to be careful when trying to identify our similarities (see biopolitics, especially M. Foucault).
