Trivial shit= shit that doesn't relate to anything and/or misses the point/purpose and/or simplifies the implications.
Normies today are too ignorant and mind to discuss anything even nearing the realm of philosophy. The only things that my school didn't sugarcoat were 9/11, Hiroshima/Nagasaki, Holocaust, and the Bataan death march. They never even mentioned the absolute horror of Nanking.

when I rant like that it means I am on amphetamines.


Your writing is quite lucid while you are on amphetamines.

I literally don't feel a thing while on amphetamines; besides being on a man-period all the time.

I never said that they were related to it. I meant meaningful conversation which is *near* the realm of philosophy. Just a simple conversation about the morality of it, the consequences, the cruelty of human nature, and why order is preventing us from becoming savages.

I'm labelled as "gifted and talented", but nothing worthy has come of it, except for once. It's just become a tag that appears on the teachers' rosters as far as I've experienced. I remember having to take a test for this when I was about 13, and from then it granted me admission into a special program in a middle school called "Enriched Honors". During middle school was the only time I was actually able to play that advantage. Via another test, I managed to skip ahead in math to where I was doing IB level geometry in 8th grade, but once I entered high school, all the advantages were gone. I kept the math credits so I am ahead of the majority of my peers in math in HS, but elsewhere, I'm equal to all other students in the APDC (AP/Dual Credit) classes I'm taking. Some of my peers lack the titles, but still perform just as well or better in class than I do. That's led me to believe that the title is meaningless to an extent. Only people with the opportunity to test in managed to snag the title, leaving some who qualify to be left without any sort of title to their name, despite being bright.

See, the trick is to go to a private school or move to a relatively rich neighborhood so that all your teachers past sophomore year have PhDs.

The following talk, by James Flynn, has some bearing on the question.

Over the last century average scores on intelligence tests have increased dramatically. Flynn discusses the significance of this, and points to some implications of the influence of a persons educational achievements on their performance on intelligence tests.

TED hosts pseuds who pretend to be the most sophisticated people in society because they have SCIENCE XXDD i.e. irrelevant data and worthless degrees in J Left Marxism propaganda. NPR is the same way. It's for soyboy fuckers like Padraig lmaoo. These Jews pretend to psychoanalyze their political opponents and masturbate over their galaxy brain science terms that show nothing and confuse people. Nothing important was said in the entire video; people in academia are getting more retarded. The average IQ of college grads has fallen from 115 to 100.

You went in thinking it was LE PESKY JEWS. Of course you wouldn't get it, nor would you have experience to relate the theory to, because I can bet my buttons that you avoid people in real life and try to tell people about LE ZIONISTS when you met people.

People like you rarely make a point.
You are an outlier.
My point is, you are so fixed on LE JEWS and MUH REDPILLS to listen to anything that contradicts what you believe in.

I know you won't listen. I can only describe my experiences for the matter, and I can tell that you have barely had any genuine human interaction.
