you don't. you die young before your potential gets squandered
If you're born in 99 that means you are 21 and therefore full of hope.
What a delightful and immaculate grasp you've got of the numbers.
after 18 its over, just ask /LULZ/
what year is it?
2006 probably
i don't even know anymore
time travel is weird
its over i'm too old to truly enjoy literature time to waste hours on video games and image boards
Is 24 the new 70? You know you got 45 more years to enjoy life right? Who put the idea in your head that you can’t enjoy anything after childhood?
You did. IQfy did.
Actually, the disastrous 1960's did, but whatever
You can't enjoy anything if you have a job
A sad truth. As much as I enjoy my work, it drains me of most of my energy and monopolizes the majority of my time. Even on my days off, I catch myself thinking about stuff that needs to get done at work.
I think my early college days were when I was the happiest and had the most time for hobbies. Sure, I was broke, but that didn't get me down at all. I had a great mix of free time, energy, and ability, for all my hobbies. Learning to play my beat up second hand guitar, tearing through my stacks of dollar paperbacks from the thrift store, and just walking and biking through the park. I was able to put so much time and mental energy into all of these things, and truly enjoyed all of them.
Sure, I have money and stability now, but everything seems so lackluster. I just found so much joy in everything during that brief period of my life. Now I'm just hoping that something will give, and I'll be able to find joy in these things, or perhaps new things one day.
you aren't even 30 yet ya homosexual
JS Mill was reading Plato and Anabasis in Greek at age 8. I regret going to public school and not having a private tutor to lead me through the classical liberal education.
Ideally, I would’ve learned Greek and Latin by ages 7- 18 and then I could spend the rest of my life going through the Loebs library in full. That sounds like it would’ve been an ideal life for me.
>I regret going to public school and not having a private tutor to lead me through the classical liberal education.
You regret something that was totally out of your control? Do you really think you'd be smart enough to learn Greek and Latin if this is a thought process of yours?
Yes, I am very brilliant. Mexican people learn both Spanish and English growing up and lemme tell you, the ones I know ain’t exactly Isaac Newton.
>Mexican
If a simpleton like Jessica can understand two languages then I should be able to as well since I am like fifty Iq points above her. Also the Loebs series is just something which would interest me and would be an ideal time killer to spend my life on.
It’s not that hard to learn those languages. It’s more just understanding how languages work in general and then grinding. You might not ever get to native fluency but if you work hard enough at the basic grammar and vocabulary to get a basic reading level you can improve by continuing to read. I know absolutely stupid grad students and PhD students who are able to learn multiple languages.
You just have to look at dumbfrick bilingual immigrants to disprove the notion you need intellect to learn multiple languages.
Stolen valour and 2nd generationgays. The majority of immigrants do not learn other language outside of Eastern and Cebtral Europe whose IQ is three standard deviations higher than others.
trust me on this bro
there is more to life than reading
not much more but still a significant amount
seriously
you read all that stuff and fill your brain
so what?
you have to then communicate what you learned to others
Milton published paradise lost when he was 60. As long as you obsessively study whatever you're interested in, you can still make it. The only reason there are these talented 20 year olds around is because they have been obsessively studying their art since they could, probably because their father drilled them. It doesn't matter when you start (as long as you actually stimulated your mind during your youth, there should be potential).
>oldgays all falling for the bait
It's hilarious how easy it is to make these wrinkly geriatrics seethe. Imagine actually being born in a year beginning with a 1, kek.
Mill was a child prodigy, however, and if you look at the list of child prodigies on Wikipedia the list is very small indicating the chance of being one to be very slim. So you should be content with what you have. And literature doesn't even seem to be filled with child prodigies in the same way that other disciplines are: Alexander Pope comes to mind perhaps but not many others. Besides, who would really want to be like Mill?
I forget his name but there was a working man who was educated as a kind of a bet in the 1600 or 1700's, he became very intelligent and capable of forming his own thoughts but was regarded by his former friends as being very suspicious and alien who, when he had become a famous writer, refused to talk to him anymore or even speak in his presence due to the fear of him overhearing something they said and blowing their minds. He became very depressed and died alone in his cottage.
>who would really
an idiot.
I'm 36, took a 10 year break from IQfy, got married, a kid and a house with a basement full of books. Life could be worse. You'll get there too.
It's over for you. Just go ahead and have a nice day.

statistically your likelihood of being able to use modern technology to find good films, shows and books from the pre-2000's are very low. Ironically you need an even more decrepit Erastes to help you use the remote control.
There are people born in 1999 here? Man, I feel old. I guess I understand the misguided political posts now.
>>born in 1999
you can't imagine how much I envy you for being born in the 20th century. You had experienced the last breath of this great and perplexing century. I am on the other hand trapped in this 21th century, and won't escape it.
t. 2000
What
For you, I recommend suicide.
what the frick, guess you should write my book
>born in 1987
>enjoying books now more than ever
Half way to the grave. Outstanding work.
I had my midlife crisis when I was 13. Every year now is just bonus.
Same here
>born in 2002
I feel like a grandpa
>born in 1965
not only does my zoomer gf treat me like the cat's pajamas, but I feel like a million bucks!
The 30's are better; in one's 20's one cannot help but live in the backwash of one's all-too-youthful ideas of what it 'means' to be an 'adult'
Quite possibly the worst decade
I am 54. I am currently in process of reading Moby Dick out loud to a child. You are a homosexual. Go downtown and OD on dicks.
>pedo admit talking about dick with children
you should be jailed
>child attempts tasteless dad-type joke
Go to your room, sport
No Internet for a week
Old people read more books than anything else.
