After getting blackpilled I have realized that there are so many things that I take for granted that are actually not normal/typical skills at all. One of those things is abstract reasoning ability. I don't think it's actually inherent behavior. I can literally count on one hand the number of people I have met who can do this. All the rest only "learn" via rote memorization.
Take coding for example. The large majority of people can't learn it. And it's not merely because of all the complex looking symbols and shapes, but because coding isn't a linear process. It's not possible to learn coding by simply repeating the same steps over and over, and as a result 90% of people can't learn how to code. Even many of the people who graduate from computer science can't actually code in the real world despite passing the tests, as many annoyed companies will tell you after firing all their bad coders. Coding is too abstract and thus can't be learned by just following the same steps over and over. Normies can't understand it.
I know many of you think the NPC meme is elitist. Well, I'm sorry but truth hurts. The vast majority does not possess abstract reasoning ability. They can only learn through memorizing. Nothing they are told is actually understood. The ability to reason is NOT something that exists in humans by default.
It's really horrifying when you think about it. Consider the disturbing implications that you might be one of the few people in the entire world that can actually see the lines between the dots, rather than simply memorizing what the dots are called and where they are located.
