Wow. You are actually quite right.
You just made me realise that thirsting for knowledge could really just be a thirst for power and control over our environment.
All this has made me want to go back to simpler times myself.
This is effn crazy. I'm from aus and this just made me remember I was in a program here when I was younger called GATEWAYS.
For "gifted or talented" students, the websites spoopy af. Can hardly remember it myself but some similarities:
-
have blue eyes, first born
-
several near death experiences
-
long time abuse of drugs
-
have gotten out of trouble with police for drug possession, trespassing, and one time I was driving so obviously on drugs one night and they didnt even test me, they just let me go after they looked up my liscence…never could understand how lucky I was that night.
-
have never had my IQ tested so don't know it
-
don't have a photographic memory, but have an extremely good long term memory
-
yes excruciating migraines every couple months - started when I was 13
this is seriously freaking me out,
and i'm not even in america, is this shit everywhere?
