No. Do you always like to delete me off your friends list for awkard reasons?

(See! I can resist! I was going to put a winky face there.)

Video games also helped my vocabulary greatly!

Hand-eye co-ordination, problem solving, stories, stuff like that. At the age of 2 or 3, ANY game would help with brain development.

I grew up reading books, studying hard in school. However, I never felt that I was really that smart. It requried dedication, hard work and having the right mind set to get to where I am today, which is studying towards a PhD in Chemical Engineering. 

Many people who replied in this post attributed some of their intelligence to games... I actually think that video games hurt my overall development. I wouldnt recommend playing video games to improve your intelligence, maybe luminosity but none of the regular blockbusters. Video games are basically slot machines with a story. 

At the end of the day, there isn't a single type of intelligence that rules all. The most important thing is to discover your passion which may take a while. If you find something you love working on, you will find that you will be intelligent in that field and have a fun life. 

Also, it's actually a positive trait to think you're intelligent even if you're not... confidence is king in the real world even if it's annoying on the internet. 

You doctor yet?

Well, as babies, everyone has the ability to be vastly intelligent, however, due to society, and people being kicked, and told what they can't do, we have a vast amount of dim-minded people. However, I don't blame anyone for that. I wouldn't even blame the parents, because they to were probably conditioned in the same way they condition their kids.

So, it's not your fault that you are the way you are. Just pick something you want to learn about, and understand it to the fullest. You don't need to know everything, otherwise, what good would talking to other intellects do if you know everything.

And, knowing everything without ever sharing your knowledge makes you equally as useless as the retarded boy around the block. Neither is progressing human intelligence as a whole. So, if you are smart (or so you think) and aren't sharing your wealth of knowledge, you're immensely stupid, and I dislike stupid people.

I laughed at the opening post, because I was able to reflect on some of my posts I'd made on these boards in the past. Felt like it was directed at me.

Video games taught me a lot. I remember playing Rome total war and did not have any idea wth anything was but after playing it for awhile I researched on everything, out of boredom. So all in all video games made me smarter then all of you (wait you guys play video games too?).

LOL! 

They don't care what job I have really, they just want me to do great in school. xD

I used to be able to have much smarter discussion because I would read more and stay on top of more things. Age may have given me more wisdom but I have certainly traded in memory capacity.

Either an effect of aging, or playing too much video games and watching too much Netflix. Something or other has taken a toll on my brain.
