      My intelligence is within the average range and I’m fucking miserable. If I were smart I would at least have a shot at escaping wage slavery.

      Only if you fully identify with your intelligence. I used to and was miserable all the time. These days I see intelligence similar to body height. Helpful to reach some places more easily but not a hard requirement and only one out of many attributes that define me. At the end of the day you’re not your thoughts, you’re just the one listening to them.
