Are you frustrated? Well... you might be a superthinker
People have different genetics. And these differences are far more than superficial. We are not all equal.

For example, have you ever noticed that some people can eat just about any food, and it's all the same to them? While other people go to five star restaurants and complain about some trace taste in their soup?

The average person might think that these are psychological preferences. Perhaps the first guy is laid back, and the second guy is trying to look cool. When in reality, it has far more to do with the fact that these people are genetically different.

People can be divided into three groups when it comes to taste.

Nontasters.

Medium tasters.

Supertasters.



[link to en.wikipedia.org]

People also have a sense of logic

We have formalized it over time, but people instinctively know when a sentence 'feels' logical or does not.

People can be divided into three groups.

Non logical people

logical people

Super thinkers

When you tell a non-logical person something that is illogical or stupid, they will not have the ability to feel whether the things you are saying make sense or not. They can only go by how 'credible' you are. If you are a doctor or a lawyer or a policitican, they will believe you.

Then there are logical people. An ever diminishing portion of the population. They have a sense of logic. If you tell them something that is not logical, they will feel that there is something 'wrong' with what you said. But the feeling will pass. And is not overbearing.

And then...

There are superthinkers.

If a superthinker is told something illogical, or that does not make sense, they will experience a severe, almost crippling sense of mental anguish, until they figure out precisely why it is illogical.

Being a superthinker does not mean you have a high IQ

It does not mean you learn faster

It means that you have a keener sense of logic. Therefore you will spend more time trying to get your world view to be logical.

Just as supertasters spend more time getting their food to taste, 'just right'.

In conclusion... if you are a superthinker, don't waste too much time trying to get non - superthinkers to be as excited about your ideas and realizations as you are. Because they cannot FEEL it like you do.

They literally, don't get it.

Now, I'm gonna go post this on my site.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 25624159


Theistic religions are actually based on a primitive logic. This is what they are designed to do. To supply very primitive, simple, logical reasons for people who are not that good at logic.



For instance, a man walks into a church and asks a priest, "Why should I not have premarital sex?

The priest says, "Because a giant, enormously powerful and intelligent alien being, who created the universe, will torture you for an amount of time that is so long, a human mind cannot comprehend it."

The man's face pales and he breaks into a cold sweat. "Whew. Okay then. I definitely won't do that then. Wow. Thanks for telling me! That is worse than herpes!"

That is a very logical response.



In fact, it is actually logical for a person with poor logical abilities to be a person of faith.

Consider it. A nonlogical person has a task he wants to accomplish. He has two choices.

1. Figure it out himself
2. Ask a superthinker to tell him what to do.

If he decides to attempt to figure it out himself, he will more than likely fail.

However, if he asks a superthinker, he has a much better chance of succeeding.

And while this does open him up to manipulation, and he knows this, what other choice does he have? He simply cannot figure out how to do things for himself.

The only thing he can do is look at the people who proclaim to be superthinkers, and see what kind of credentials they have. Their degrees. Their awards. The symbols they wear on their chest.



Superthinkers design religions. Superthninkers are the clergy of a religion. They are not the 'flock'. Or the sheep, if you will.

You see, as a more logical man matures, he naturally learns that people lie. He also learns that he must evaluate the credibility of the source of any information.

At some point, if his sense of logic is strong enough, he will be forced to give up believing in second hand knowledge given to him by groups of men who are EVIDENTLY lying.

I emphasized the word 'evidently'. As a mountain of very clear 'evidence' has been amassed showing that churches have lied and are motivated not by truth, but rather by selfish reasons.

Re: Are you frustrated? Well... you might be a superthinker
I may or may not be a superthinker, but I'm definitely a supertaster. For me, there is no such thing as bland food.

The superthinker info is interesting. I know for a fact that my hubby would fall into the superthinker category. I at the very least would fall into the "logical people" category.

As the world gets more insane, it becomes more painful to be rational. It would be so much easier to be able to swallow the Koolaid. Is it just me, or does the BS we're being fed just keep getting lamer and lamer and more and more transparent?

I agree with you that the number of logical people seems to have decreased. I have no idea why or where they all went. 30 years ago, people were much harder to bamboozle. I know they didn't all just die off. It's more like something died inside them.

BTW, I think it's possible to be both logical and religious. I also think it's possible to be both intelligent and religious. It's just extremely difficult to be logical or intelligent and part of any organized religion.

I believe that 'logical thinkers' easily differentiate between the trap of organized religion and the freedom of personal spirituality, but have no need to openly criticize others for their closely-held beliefs and viewpoints, as there's no upside for either party in that showdown.

Fellow supertaster here, and I totally understand. My tastebuds are easily overwhelmed too. I need my meals to be simple, without spices, and "the fewer ingredients in any one dish, the better".

Since you are a supertaster too, I am curious to know, do you eat one thing at a time and don't start eating the next item until the first one is completely finished? (e.g. If you have chicken, mashed potatoes, and peas on your plate, do you first eat all the chicken, then eat all the peas, then eat all the potatoes?) I am just wondering if this is perhaps a supertaster trait.

My husband, who is not a supertaster, will have a bite of chicken, then eat some peas, then have a bite of potatoes, then go back to the chicken, then more potatoes, and keep going back and forth like that all over his plate. But I am unable to do that.

I find the shift between eating different items to be a bit jarring. It's less of a shock to my tastebuds if I just eat all of one thing before eating the next one.

I am wondering if it is the same way with you?

Indeed, they're more willing to believe someone in authority even if the authority figure is incorrect, illogical, or outright lying then they are a nobody (no pun intended) who has a logical point.

Meaning, they're not even willing to even listen to the logical perspective and ponder it.

And have you noticed, it isn't just that they ignore or don't understand logical statements, but they actually feel threatened by them and get hostile sometimes?

There are superthinkers.

Being a superthinker does not mean you have a high IQ

It does not mean you learn faster

It means that you have a keener sense of logic. Therefore you will spend more time trying to get your world view to be logical.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 21926154


Well said. I feel disheartened when people here say things like "people are so stupid, a bunch of sheep, I'm really smart!" because in some ways it seems kind of stupid and illogical in its own right.

But I do believe that I fit the qualifications for superlogical. I'd never claim to be a genius, and wouldn't want others to believe I'm a genius. I want others to think, and reason, and even disagree with me if they see fit, but at least THINK. It seems like many don't.
