Thoughts on Christopher Langan

[P]eople with that High IQ tend to be looked down upon. They did the same to Plato, Socrates, Confucius, Christ... really the whole list of the greatest Geniuses. I believe him. When you have a 200 IQ you tend to be a little "Lazy" and are insatiably curious. Most of the 200IQ club find low stress jobs, and just live life. It's actually interesting how we want them to achieve great things, when really, they probably understand just how ridiculous it is to try and change the world. You don't really need to do that, so superior geniuses typically don't even try. Goethe, also, didn't do much beside write books. Claiming Langan is an average intellect, is kind of {} dull{}. He probably is a 200IQ genius, he just understands the complete vanity of life. As is something to look at, how we don't really need to accomplish anything in this world, just go about our business and live life humbly and eat from our work. That's really all there is. And then dullards steal it from us, defame us, and do everything they can to take it from us, because they can't do the same. 

I think jealousy is a huge factor here. I understand his theory--and there's some credibility to it, but in a slightly different way, as it's not our mind shaping reality, but reality shaping our mind--and then of course there's things we can't get into here. But, generally, yes... he is onto something.

In a Christian context, that's what faith is, is seeing the subtle hints and nuances in reality, and then believing on them. As Christ is preeminent, and ultimately God over all. He shapes and creates, and makes sound. We don't do that, as there's septillions of other human wills all working in accord at once, and to say they all shape reality, I think they observe their world, and their minds get predicated on it. That they can't go beyond it, but some people can.
