Your post reminded me of this great book:

You should check out the video, or at least read about the Dunning-Kruger effect, as that’s how I feel is the state of most of the population at the moment.

A thought, from the big boss;
some people act like they have 3 brain cells, of which 2 were dating, but one of them decided to cheat with the 3rd one, which explains as to why none of them are working

I’d like to hear your thoughts on this, as you always seem so compassionate and radiate so much love through the screen (can’t even comprehend how overwhelmingly good it would feel in your presence 
).

I understand what you’re talking about.
I’ve read a lot of articles about Dunning-Kruger effect ( mostly in spanish).
The term is relatively new in social science but this phenomena was noticed long before by ancient philosophers and thinkers. Even “modern” authors like Bukowski or Henry Miller have eloquently wrote about it.
You are not alone, man

I hope you didn’t take it as me trying to attack you or force you to get “informed”.
Was just trying to see if you have noticed that on the forum lately too

Don’t worry, i didn’t take it this way.
I guess sometimes my written words come across as rude or a little harsh.
That’s because my english is “dry”, not graceful and limited.
But my intentions are good and i speak from a place of friendliness.

Seems like we both thought the same way, which says to me that you’re probably bilingual or multi-lingual, right?
Also did you switch to ZP yet ?

My understanding of english is excellent, my verbal fluency is mediocre.

Thanks for the kind words 
But I hate to brake it to you, I have ups and downs too
In my case I believe its a matter of being a bit older than I used to be lol, and also that I have been going so hard in different directions following my desires last decade, that I have just found my way back closer to my center, which gives me great introspektion 
About the book, I read it back when i used to study pshycology hardcore and thought I was the shit… and then this book made me realize how flawed my perception in my brain really was

Generally speaking, the best books, the most impactful are those that “disturb” us in some way.

Agree with that, it makes a disconnect that challenges us to evolve.

So then my friends, how about I ask you guys something , and this also goes for any lurkers here who wanna chime in too;
How do you feel about this sentence:
true wisdom is granted to those with an enlightened intellect
It’s just something that came to me while meditating a few mins ago .

What i feel about this sentence?
Well, i feel it is correct
Seems to be the next phase of the proverbial “The master will appear when the pupil is ready”

To me the intellect is like a pricesion tool, it’s not so smart to use a sledgehammer to unscrew a screw.
You only see that which you know. A sharp intellect gives you the tool to move from the known to the unknown. A wise man asks questions.
Just on the top of my head, but that’s just my capture from the endless stream of thoughts passing by…

Okay, firstly, Stark ZP is fucking dope man.
I remember @SaintSovereign mentioning that it was @Fire who wrote the script right? Man, I appreciate the existence of both of you.
Now lemme tell you what happened;
I went to get some food, but I fell a kick from Stark telling me to go to a mall instead, and get something from the food court (even though the same fast food place has a branch 2 mins from my house).
So I go to a mall, and it said “Friday: family day”, yet they let me in for some reason (Stark fame effect 
?), so I go in and the eyes were just glazed on me like I was the most delicious and fresh donut from Krispy Kreme 
, so I carry on to the food court and I see this one girl, now most y’all know that I’m very loyal to my girl right?, so I didn’t really do much, but since I had my cards with me (I’ve been practicing non stop), I thought to myself:
“why not test out the social skills of Stark ZP”, but I didn’t realize that I already made my way to her while I was thinking about whether or not I should test, like, Stark “took over”.
So I go up to this chick (knowing she’s already staring at me because of my WANTEDness), and casually ask her “do you wanna be blown away?”, she smiled and asked me if that was a pick up line, I said “nah, just wanted to show off some magic in front of muggles*”.
Firstly, she instantly got the reference, secondly, she was already interested and invested in talking to me, with just 1 question and 1 comment, and thirdly, she was definitely not interested in the magic as much as me.
However, with just one trick, which I, for some reason, chose despite me not performing or practicing it for at least 4 years, but somehow I did it with so much confidence, that not only was she blown away, but so was I 
After that she asked me for my Snapchat or Instagram, I said “sorry, I was just practicing, not really interested”, I swear this line could have gotten me slapped in public
But hey, Stark ZP works
