Without writing a novel and acknowledging the difficulty it is to measure intelligence...
People who: /what VT is missing is:
- Can process what one is saying in real time and propose alternative view points or point out flaws in one's logic in seconds.
- Are capable of thinking outside of the box. Some puzzle pieces will never be found because they need to be created first.
- Have drive and ambition to do things other than watch TV/go to the beach/get high or drink after work.
- Interest in furthering their education/knowledge/life goals. Complacency is very common.
- People who are unafraid of their viewpoints being challenged/analyzed; unafraid to rationalize their beliefs.
- Self awareness/presence.
In saying all of this, I do not look down on people for their life choices. They just live a simpler life than I can be comfortable with.
- tothepixel 8y agoWow, I can very much relate to this. I moved to VT 5 years ago, and I just haven't been able to put my finger on why there's a disparity between my social life here vs. my former city. Many people simply talk much slower, drone on, and are not socially aware of when a conversation becomes one-sided. I'm used to fast talking, quick-witted New Jersey style conversations. At work I'm often engulfed with these 5 minute lectures about random garbage that I don't particularly care for.
