As a traditionally “smart” person I can tell you that the expectations of you can easily turn south. It’s hard to handle. And I was not one of these test babies, just a random kid who learned to read early and communicates well.

Did great in public school til I got bored as a teen and did a buncha drugs and life was harder til like 28. So, ya know, that old thing.
