"I create all that is good and all that is evil, I bring forth all that is light and all that is dark. I, thy Lord, God, do all these things."~Isaiah 45:7
This Bible verse negates everyone's ideas about god and devil, good and evil.
@IpilotAnEVA The key was very much active when it was hacked 18 months ago. But the real problem is that they didn't disclose it when it happened. LOL if you trust them to be honest that no information was taken.
Mike Nisan it was hacked but no important information was taken. It was an expired key so the most people can do is set some fake vpn to sell to people
I guess when they throw money at you, you can't help bout spout nonsense about a product. Yes read off that script and and bury your dignity for a few dollars
Oh, the irony.
Smart people tend to change things. People hate change
Only intelligent people can see the Earth is flat!
be smart, google "nordvpn hacked"
I only know that in most cases intelligence not controlled by a moral system triggers hedonism and psychopathy, which is not bad, it simply does not fit into the socially desirable.
Girl: "No one likes people who know everything."
Me: "Don't you think I know that?"
Smart people are happier
Because they understand nothing matters
They don't spend their time worrying about trivial things, which is the main cause of misery
Rick is in the autism spectrum for gods sake! Don‘t you guys listen while watching Rick and Morty? No he doesn‘t lack emotional intelligence. His brain just doesn’t process incentives empathic but systematic that’s why he seems „cold“ to emotional human beings but he isn’t. He‘s just a neutral person. Females tend to have empathetic processing and men systematic processing. That’s why there’s always problems when they are communicating doesn’t mean their views are invalid. Rick has basically an extreme version of a very systematic incentive processing - that’s also why he‘s such an amazing scientist. He‘s made to solve problems - only thing that matters to him. And yes people like that are definitely misunderstood and have a lot of problems in society - as you can see in the fkn comment section!

Somewhat of a real Life Rick Sanchez...
However being extremely smart is not a good thing for our sense of Happiness and Life Satisfaction.. simply because you see all around you how dumb the humankind is. And you can't do anything about it without having to resort to an obscene amount of violence.
Cough.. cough.. like A. Hētler did.
He was a Genius, and we Geniuses can't handle human mediocrity. They have to be purged and punished in a way or the other.
The worst thing about being intelligent is awareness.
Lack of awareness is why lesser minded individuals are able to achieve happiness on a more consistent basis.
emotional intelligence = cope for normal people with low ambition. Really its not that hard to learn or to fake. Come on now, lets be real here...
dude is more ego than intelligence though
So sad deep conversations will be lost oh well such is life rest up they will need us soon.
I'd want to say that dumb people are a lot more annoying when they think they are smart, but I can't
I can't say that I'm smart
Because mostly I'd just go back to that category
I always say that I don't know anything
So, if I'm dumb, no one cares
If I'm smart, no one cares
“Damnant Quod Non Intelligent” smh
I think is also smart that for people’s sanity to just don’t consume yourself in deep thoughts all the time. Age and death are the two things we won’t ever win against and at some point you just understand that you’re here for a brief period of time and instead of living miserably you just start searching energy and happiness.
This was stupid. Intelligent people dont drink at all. Because they know the harmful effects. My uncle works for a nuclear reactor. He never drinks. He already learned that small things gives happiness. Drinking doesnt help at all. He is great father. He always enjoys his time with family and he is smart af.
People with a limited or average intelligence are intimidated by people with a greater grasp on there surroundings. Being a sheep is easier than expanding your knowledge.
Smart people usually literally make more money ... so there’s that ...
This is complete horseshit.
Look where “being smart” has got humans. The world is polluted, weapons are capable of destroying the planet, killings happen over fuel for the endgame of comfort and convenience. Maybe the smart thing to do is conceal your knowledge or not have any at all. Crocodiles and cockroaches are doing pretty well and for all we know, they don’t know fucking anything.
Exactly, because there is nothing smart about humans... we are literally completely unconscious, we are sleep walking, the shadow has complete control over the mass population of humanity, even the people at the top are completely controlled and just playing their role in this sick nightmare hell we call human civilization, their is without a doubt a satanic unseen demonic force that is controlling our world, it is The ego, the self, the I am that I am, the human mind is nothing but a collection of ABC,123 it doesn’t exist, it’s a phantom, a ghost, a demon possessing the body, all in order to maintain “the system” of slaves and masters, it’s the free Masonic occults, the hierarchy, the PYRAMIDS... everything goes back to ancient Egypt... if you stare into the eyes of king Tutankhamen death mask it will unlock the unconscious mind, it will give you the “all seeing eye” to see past the illusions of our world... the truth is that man is nature, and the only true way to happiness is to be fully responsible and create everything that you “own”, that is why everyone is depressed and lonely and selfish and obsessed with shopping, entertainment, sex, drugs, philosophy, science experiments, tech start ups, etc...we have no responsibility and are completely disconnected from nature and animals, when a man grows his own food, and has a garden to tend to every day that is a man creating his living soul, when a man has a dog, or a cat, or a sloth, or a Lama, or a pig, or any other animal or insect or plant or anything of nature to take care of, that gives man fulfillment and contentment and purpose and meaning, it is only the artificial concrete and metal synthetic and scripted reality of the free masons that is hell on earth, where everything and everyone is acting out a role using each other by performing some duty or task or job as a payed wage slave to another man...
Where’s all the ENTPs?
😂 clinton to smart to get elected try to evil
Thus spoke Zarathustra
Wrong. The world hates entitled pricks. Rick thinks being smart allows him to be one and that is why the universe doesn't like him.
It's just a cartoon. It's not that deep.
argument agnist god existence are metal illness caused by intelligence
Hey where did mortys head shape come from (round compared to oval. Ricks wife?)
Lol I'm a pickle when I feel like it lmfao
Or in other words, ignorance is bliss!
This video makes me consider it feeds into the mythos if tortured genius. That being smart or extraordinary destination you to being misunderstood, mental health problems and poor interpersonal relationships.
Don't idolize things we make up.
This video is the equivalent of being so jealous of something that you try to find the negative things in that so you can feel more superior
The thing lady said about knowing 40k words and being around who knows only 10 words is stressful or boring. Holy hell thats so true and ive never thought about it
I almost puked when they said Obama and Hillary were smart 2:15
God standard is the only standard in speaking of absolutes
So why be smart lol the shit is not a choice if only it were.
Suddenly, channels are doing rick and Morty episodes
Glorifying weakness is what feminist protesting for "safe spaces" do.
Those idiots too dumb to see they can trip and snap their necks in those "safe spaces" too, idiotically killed like the universe they are just like that, ugh.
They also attack the strong, calling it "toxic masculinity". Slave morality 100%
While I agree with you premise...the world hates smart people...(people who think about things on a deeper level)... I hate the first bit of evidence provided with a burning rage...
Those news headlines about Obama and Hillary causing Trump (because they were too smart) were the dumbest fucking things I've ever seen. Sure Obama and Hilary are smart. However they both used their brains to royally fuck regular Americans by offering political half measures or just straight up bowing down to the criminals ruining regular Americans' lives. Obama had a goddamned MANDATE to throw the BANKSTERS in prison for the mortgage crisis they caused with their fraudulent bundling of bad securities with good ones. Hilary has always been a fucking tool. Just google the Clinton Foundation. How about her deep connections to the Jeffrey Epstein case? Fuck you, only an idiot would use that as proof that the world hates smart people.
they said society way too many times
It's very hard being smart and being useless. That's quote by Jordan Peterson, which I think it's interesting because I feel it applies to Rick. As Rick goes on the adventures so he can do science but we're never told or given reason to why he does everything he does. What's his endgame for all his knowledge and science experiments. He can't find a purpose or a reason to exist, hence his depression.
the very same thing with me and my family trying to understand me
Many smart People have the Problem, that "normal" Humans dont understand them and cant relax when they talk because they dont know how to communicate their Feelings. When you have an extreme logical Mind, you have Problems, because Feelings dont act logical. This resolutes, that many smart People are displayed as arrogant, mean, unsocial and dont have Empathie.
If the world had more thinkers than followers then they might actually overcome corruption in government.
NORD VPN IS A RIPOFF. GOVT AND POLICE CAN SEE WHAT YOU DO ON VPN. POINTLESSSSSSSSS
Stop trying to "break down" Rick and Morty and just enjoy it's pure awesomeness. You're welcome.
Everyone is smart. It's laziness that won't allow most to be smart.
Nothing matters in the grand scheme, but are you a grand scheme or are you a tiny part that means nothing to it. It is all perspective. If something means something to you that is all that matters, because what your environment is your universe your town, or your neighborhood ect. Something that matters to you matters to you because they are a big part of you.
As I grew up I've been told many times by adults I was smart and wise beyond my age. I always doubted it though, especially since I started studying environmental sciences in college. The kind of intelligence that is valued in this field is to be able to come up with a step by step solution to an environmental problem. That solution is going to be submitted to some illiterate politician asshole, who's going to decide whether to implement it or not, based on completely arbitrary factors like popularity or the economy or something. That's not really my natural way of thinking and I can't help but feel dumb and incompetent whenever I'm in that environment.
At the same time I feel alone and misunderstood because I can grasp some universal truths that other people can't, or won't understand.
I'm sorry if this doesn't make sense. I'm drunk, I know you random guy who's reading will understand. I hope you're alright
ENTPs know that life
This is the first time i've seen nihilism as accurately represented. Good job guys. The universe may be devoid of meaning but that doesnt mean we cannot generate it
The problem isn't 'dumb people who think they're smart', like the comment section is patting itself on the back for saying. It is pretty accurate that the majority of the world does not reward superior intelligence unless it is accompanied by some valuable qualification or social contribution. People get on with like-minded people, and being smarter than everyone else would put you outside of that category. Not only that; like Rick, you will constantly be shining a light on the banality and meaninglessness of everyone else's problems and concerns, just by virtue of maintaining a higher perspective, which will have people see you as an insensitive prick. This happens if intelligence is paired with honesty, and they usually go together. As someone with the deeply thought through philosophy on life, you would find it unnecessary to be liked by everyone, and therefore would be more honest with people. You've been taught since childhood that nobody liked a smartass, and most people carry this over into adulthood. These people are what make up the society that judges you for challenging their conventions via your original, critical thinking. Of course smart people don't get their due. Especially if they are generally intelligent, but without a pointed ambition to gain an accolade that society respects (like a PhD), which many critical thinkers are.
smart people are not all the same
This was your best episode.
am sick of all ppl thinking they are smart ...and trying to prove it ..its depressing!
Is it just me or does this channel fr have the "Telemundo" sign
The church clearly points out that if u r intelligent then u r the greatest threat ...unless u do everything they say/think ....and that’s just fucking stupid
Rick & Morty is more pseudosmart. (Which for sure does use real smarts as source material.) Intelligence has nothing to do with a lack of empathy or a lack of the skill to cooperate. It also does not equal with nihilism automatically. It's more a cliche of a smart person.
Rick and Morty is constantly about IQ vs EQ. Rick has a very high IQ but a very low EQ, which is why he's cruel and why people don't like him. It's not just because he's smart.
