It is widely known by psychologists that extremely intelligent people of very high intelligence often have a psychological condition of paranoia. Have you ever wondered why this is? I’ve read some information on this, and I’m not sure I really enjoy the comment, or buy all the research reports. However, I have a few theories of my own that I would like to spend a few moments discussing with you.
You see, it seems to me that the reason highly intelligent people fall into situations of psychological paranoia so easily is because they have excellent memories, and they see things and relate them to other things, instances, and circumstances at a more robust rate, and because at the speed of their brain, they are exhibiting new brain waves when this occurs. In other words, in the simplification; let’s say they experience deja vu 10 times faster than the average person.
Also, people who are well versed in many topics and topics know a little bit about everything, and when they are talking and discussing things in various categories, they have fully explored all corners of those topics beforehand. Therefore, whatever someone says or comes to your mind, chances are you have heard it before, or even thought of it yourself. You can see how this could start and trigger an episode of paranoia.
People who are too smart, and I’m assuming you’re “not” one of them if you’re reading this article, don’t have this problem, so they can’t relate, at least not that easily. Okay, a lot of people don’t understand, and I guess a lot of psychologists who aren’t very smart, and maybe too educated for their own good, don’t understand psychological triggers, or the way these powerful brains are able to process information. .
The faster a brain processes information, and thinks and reasons, the more things it is capable of thinking about, often simultaneously, and thus making connections everywhere. Some of them are relatively simple connections, which are also made by ordinary people, including you, or those who are not so smart. In fact, there may be some point where someone with an IQ of 150 or higher may have had all the thoughts that a person with an IQ of 100 could have.
In other words, whatever the person with the hundredth IQ says, the person with the highest IQ has already thoroughly explored that information. So as a conversation progresses, the person with the higher IQ will lead the conversation, and the person with a lower IQ will try to keep up and say things that are common knowledge or may make them seem smart. . Unfortunately, doing this adds to the paranoia challenge of “being intellectual” because it’s like all that information is nothing more than repetition, and they reason “how did they know” what I’m thinking, is this a trick?
I hope I have explained this to you, however, you may not understand it, because not everyone seems to be able to grasp this concept, my thought is; that is because they are incapable. In fact, I hope you will please consider all of this and think about it.
