I would like to be stupid and ignorant, yet I can't. I continue seeking the truth not as an obsession anymore, but now as some sort of strange sickness. I know so much that people find me annoying.
Even in the University. Today was the first class I had of Economy (I wanted to leave it til' the end.) and I kept participating because nobody else would. Not only did I answer every question, but I kept talking with extreme detail with stuff that applies to the answer that I learn through my life, through Geography and through my research. In fact, a lot of this stuff was supposed to be taught to us in at least the next 4 months, yet I already knew it do to simple logic. I talked non-stop until I was asked to stop talking because, even though what I said was correct and applied to the answer, we would never finish if I continued talking.
Not only that, but I'm not selective when it comes to finding information. I literally try to learn it all and even research more to see if I can correct my own thoughts. Sometimes when I talk to people I actually talk about philosophy and say things that are hidden secrets from others which I was never taught. I was talking about general people in my research, but people shouted at me for attacking them. I never attacked them not referred to them, they're just nervous due to the things I say being true and they couldn't deny it. Thus, I've been alone for quite some times as my old friends stopped hanging around with me due to an inner fear of the things I say. I never tried to hurt anyone, I just like talking about my research.
Thus, I continue to research more and more. It has come to the point where a lot of people think I'm annoying online. I was not born as a neurotypical. I was born with a "defect" that allowed me to see the truth and understand it instead of ignoring it, rejecting it or simply not paying attention to it. However, every truth hurts. Children are happy until they start learning about the truth of the world and the chaos everywhere. You also know your fair share of truth, but what happens when one person actually researches about all of the truth non-stop, even the details, and accept them? Most brains wouldn't be able to handle it, creating traumas and emos. Know why real emos are always moody? It's because they've been forced the truth and they can't deny it. They're neurotypicals, so their brains can't stand it. Thus, they hate themselves. However, they know killing themselves is not the way. Thus, they leave all behind and wait to die naturally. Why am I not an emo? Because I'm an asperger. I have the brain to stand it...
...Or so I thought. I do have the brain to stand it, but psychologists are seeing my case as something way more special. My mind is not neurotypical, nor autistic and not even asperger. It is true that not all the aspergers are the same, but my personality lacks too many things that are common. Until it was discovered that I lacked one of the main components: A mind set in stone. Most aspergers keep their knowledge of the truth and, while they accept it, they prefer not knowing anymore information. They will accept any truth while forced and without being hurt too much, but they prefer to keep their thoughts set. I'm different. I'm willing to accept change in my ideas. That is because my mindset is based in logic. If logic makes me thing something is right, I continue thinking it until someone else uses logic to prove me wrong or until I use logic with new info I researched to prove me wrong myself. That's when I learn. And learning too much hurts...
Having a brain like this does give me a higher IQ than more people, but it is not worth it when I cannot reach true happiness. I know that the human brain can't detect true happiness, except for times of glee. However, I've barely feel any glee these last 3 years.
Why do I want to become an ignorant then? At this point it is obvious. Ignorant people are the happiest people alive. When an idiot with problems see's a butterfly and they feel happy by it, they're really happy by it. They don't know any of the problems of the world nor can they understand that they are stupid. Thus, they are happy. Every children should actually be allowed a chance at happiness and innocence. However, by doing this, children grow up to become even more secured to the truth, trying to deny it. What would happen if we told children the truth in the first place? It would be a huge traumatic shock. If it doesn't kill them or make them go emo, it will certainly not allow them to be happy to the point of making a change in life. The world is so unkind.
Have you even noticed how every new thing is digital? That's because they want to simplify information. Simply ways of communicating and even ways of reading measurements. True exactitude is analogue data since it's 100% exact. The only problem is that reading analogue data exactly is very hard and almost an impossible task. Even major geniuses tried to simplify their lives by simplifying mathematical equations or making digital breakthroughs instead of analogue breakthroughs. It would have taken a bit more time than usual, but if developers would have really made the effort then we'd have True Analogue TV's which wouldn't use pixels. Instead of pixels, they would use real light and be as exact as a window.
One of the worst parts is that if I ever had a son or a daughter, they would become an asperger (Or whatever weird type of asperger I have.). It is hereditary. (Just in case. You may ask that if it is hereditary, then why isn't everyone an asperger by now? Because of the same reason why everyone does not have black-colored skin at this point.). Thus, I know that my child would suffer like me. Maybe more, maybe less, he would still suffer. Besides, I'm straight and I've never had a girlfriend and I doubt I'll ever have one at this rate, much less a fiancee and/or a wife.
At this point I'm thinking of just surviving and trying to work to help others. I know that one man alone can't help the world is his lifetime. However, if I teach at least two people the meaning of true altruism, then everything would have been worth it. Why? Because then they would continue the chain in a pyramid pattern. It is true that I will be long dead, but I want to help everyone including the people from the future if I can. I also think I'll adopt children instead. A lot of children are suffering just because they lack cash, and that is something I could very easily fix. Every little steps counts, no matter how small. Maybe not in our lifetime, but in the future I hope a true Utopia will truly exist.

Okay, I understand that if you've got Aspergers, you would rather people didn't treat that as a problem. That's all well and good. However you're making it a problem by insisting that it's "neurotypicals" that are inferior and ignorant. That's just another kind of prejudice.
I'm not going to just dismiss you as an Asperger's case because I know there are people with Asperger's that can be plenty agreeable. That's also why I don't accept it if they want to use their condition as an excuse for annoying behaviour.
From the sound of things, what people find annoying about you is your pompous, obnoxious, show-off, know-it-all attitude. Even if you're as knowledgeable as you think you are, it's always beneficial to show some humility. If you're really as eager to learn things as you claim, then that's something you ought to take to heart, if you want to be less socially awkward without becoming an ignorant idiot like the rest of us.
That's a part of your post that seemed to contradict itself, actually. On the one hand you claim to be open to learning anything and not being closed off and adamant about your current world-view, but on the other hand you seem to quickly dismiss the people around you as having the wrong types of brains to grasp the truth you have already come to. Have you considered that your understanding is flawed and the people you're pushing away have things to teach you about being a better person?
I admit I've found a lot of your posts annoying so far, but not because you're so knowledgeable and you're shattering my preconceptions or whatever. Your posts are annoying because you do a lot of unnecessary necroposting, add little to the conversations you join, and demonstrate much more of an ego than is afforded to you. Those are things people find annoying and it has nothing to do with what you know. Maybe that's the thing you ought to be researching. Learn to be less obnoxious and you'll probably start to be a lot happier.
Or just dismiss whatever I say as neurotypical ignorance.

I never dismiss anything that's been told me. Neurotypicals in general do not try to see every truth, but there are some few truths they know.
1) Neurotypicals tend to be more ignorant, but that's not inferior for me. For me, being ignorant is superior as ignorant people are happier in life, thus they can get well with other people. Most jobs these days require group work and also the human being is a social being. Because of this, I believe being ignorant is superior to being intelligent.
I used an extreme sample to show my point more easily. Obviously, almost no neurotypical is an extreme idiots that is just happy by seeing butterflies and forgetting about their problems. That would be someone with a major mental disease, but he would be happier than anybody of us.
The human being wants to be happy. That's the primary goal in life who everybody shares. Happiness may be different for everyone. Someone could be happy by having power, others by just working hard while others just by having kids. It varies, but happiness is normally the main goal of everyone despite of their religion.
2) You misunderstood what I meant. Most people don't find me annoying because of some sort of know-it-all-attitude (Though few do.). Most people find me annoying because I tend to talk about my research (I don't have any other subject to talk about) and something from my research hits them in a way that they feel attacked.
For example: Dad: So you were talking about life, huh? What were you saying. Adrian: I was talking about how most people act through life in order to be successful. They always act different when talking to people about business than when talking to their friends and family. I've never liked acting, but it's lamentably a necessity these days in order to be successful, though I personally think that's some sort of hypocrisy. Dad: Did you just call your own father a hypocrite?! What kind of son are you!? Do you have any sort of manners!!!??
And then discussions go on. Imagine this but with friends and other people. (Though a situation very similar to the one I typed has happened with my father, but we talked in Spanish.)
3) I don't push away people. They push me away. I don't get where you got this message. They feel threatened by the things I say that are indirectly related to them without me even knowing or thinking about it. (Like in the example I gave before). I would like to have friends, but nobody wants to be my friend after talking with me for a while.
4) I did say I'm willing to learn. The problem is that only rarely someone tells me something that is true and that corrects my logical thought. Most people either can beat me in discussions or get bored after a while. I don't want to sound as a show-off by writing the following, but I have researched so much that most people can't just beat my logic. (And many of them have entered a denial moment, even to the extend of literally making childish screams and kicks. That little extreme I just mentioned has happened twice. One person was 21 years old and the other was, believe it or not, 41 years old.)
5) It is difficult not to necro-post in these boards. The reason is because there are very little topics to begin with. I admit I once necro-posted a very old topic, but I didn't notice how old it was until I was notified. I then started posting on topics whose last post were around June.
I did try to make some topics of myself, but only a few them had some activity on them.
6) About the ego thing. It's not really that I have a very big ego. It's just my writing style. After researching so much I started using few technical words and some fancy words without noticing. Why would I have an ego when I believe I'm the inferior being here?
7) I just wanted to make this clear just in case. It is true I research a lot, but that's mostly some sort of obsession or sick disease I developed after certain trauma I had at the beginning of 2009. Combined with my uncommon version of the asperger syndrome (Which I find a bit of curse instead of something positive), everything I research ends up stuck in my brain, including minor details. If I could stop doing it, I would. But there's just something in research I can't stop.
8) An addition. A great reason I love fiction is because it is a great way to escape reality. Every piece of fiction has its own world with its own rules. Whoever, this rules will never be as complex as the real world's rules. That's why it takes some stress away from me.
There is one reason why it is so effective. The reason is that: I'm conscious that the world from the fiction I'm reading/playing/watching is NOT real.
Because I know it is not real, I feel happier as I know I don't have to actually research it a lot. And even if I did, it wouldn't be too much research anyway. I know I'm in the real world and not in a fantasy world, but I don't have to think about the real world rules because I need to think about the rules of my fiction enjoy the lore of it.
Games are also a fun challenge and a way to past the time happily. Some games even have good stories that are far larger than movies, though not as large as books. In fact, even those "realistic" games are not realistic at all when you analyze them.
Movies and books are fun in their own ways. While one can be felt directly, the other also uses imagination. I just have to find the balance between everything, while having time to do everything else.

I never dismiss anything that's been told me. Neurotypicals- MESSAGE TRUNCATEDStop right there. You can start by not using this little term to define the members here, no matter how accurate you may be. Also, by using this term, you are already committing prejudice by assuming everyone is wrong and cannot see what you see or feel what you feel etc.

You can start by not using this little term to define the members here, no matter how accurate you may be. Also, by using this term, you are already committing prejudice by assuming everyone is wrong and cannot see what you see or feel what you feel etc. Would you care to read the whole thing. You just actually made one of the bad things I said some neurotypicals tend to do to me. You attacked me when I never said anything about you. In fact, I never said anything about anyone in the forums here. I was complaining about neurotypicals in the world without specifying. Not only that, according to you, you decided to not ignore almost all of my post rather than reading it throughly. Also, do you know why I call most people neurotypicals? Because they have typical brains. Aspergers literally have brains that work differently, almost as if we were some kind of mutation. Aspergers are born because of strange matches by parents (Won't go into detail about it.) or because the father and/or mother of the asperger is also one. Aspergers are not an elite. Rather, they are the inferior beings in here. I actually think calling someone an asperger would be more of an offense than calling someone a neurotypical. I never assumed everybody is wrong. I'm just saying that "most people" (Happy now?) select which truths to remember in their mind. Most people are not wrong, they just don't know as much as we do. An stupid example (No offenses were meant.): - A 21 Years Old Asperger called Dan knows, remembers and accepts 50 truths, has 2 things wrong and doesn't know 48 truths. - A 21 Years Old Neurotypical called Dave knows, remembers and accepts 37 truths, has 1 thing wrong and doesn't know 72 truths. Both Dan and Dave have gone through the same education and shared very similar experiences. You see what I did there? The Neurotypical isn't more wrong than the Asperger. It's just that the Neurotypical doesn't know as much as the Asperger. And I regret to inform you that it is virtually impossible for a neurotypical to feel this exact problem I feel and at the same time to understand this problem I have because our brains work different to the common ones. Our brains are weird and it's a curse rather than a blessing. EDIT: I've come to this conclusion so far: It doesn't matter where I go. It doesn't matter if it's friends, family, bosses or simple strangers. It doesn't matter if it's online or in real life. There's no place where I don't find that most, if not all, people hate me because I'm trying to be myself instead of acting. I don't want act through my whole life, so I have to choose to either live a miserable, honest life or to live a dishonest, successful but unhappy life. (And with honesty I mean literally saying the truth and acting like I truly am. Trust me when I say that I've tried with the middle-ground for almost 3 years now. So far I just can't make it work and it makes me unstable.)

I thought you were annoying since I meet you in Project Legends forums. I can understand what you wrote there, my brother have the same problem (except we are not sure if he have a super developed brain or if he is just annoying) he started to research almost everything a while ago, before that he was one of that kids who always have bad notes in the school's tests, he get obsessed with music, my father bought him a guitar, he get obsessed with electric guitars so he researched about Gibson, Epiphone, how are they built, he knows about singles, albumes and almost everything about his favorite bands, his description is normal at this point, but dare to say in front of him something like: "Heavy metal is bad" "Epiphone is better than Gibson" he will tell you the complete story about that, giving you solid arguments, dates, and everything he knows and he can be talking more than 30 minutes discussing with a person, even if that person is now watching TV or just standing in front of him ignoring him. He is now researching something about logic, and he is always talking about it, and yes, he says things that are true but he don't cares if he can hurt a person with what he said. (I personally hate that he excuse himself with the phrase "Sad but true" because he remembers Mettalica and then start talking about them). Still not at your level of annoyance? I remembered how many time he was shouting "How does he dare to mix your crap of Megaman Legends with my beloved Kingdom Hearts!!!! " when he saw your signature... I didn't say a thing because I didn't wanted to discuss. I'm always debating with him about anything because he has the same reasoning as you: "Give me a solid argument of why I'm wrong and then I could change my thoughts" the problem is that he always have some other thing to add to rebate my arguments and he doesn't give up so easily, I always get tired of discussing so he wins. Now my own reasoning: People think you are annoying because you always talk a lot, I know you have all the arguments to prove your point and that's why you can't just explain it in one sentence. The people always get offended even if you didn't offended directly, if you say that some stupid threw some garbage in the ground, other person would say: "Do you think I'm stupid because I throw garbage in the ground?" He gets offended because his conscience told him that he did something bad, and when he hear that someone linked that to the word "stupid" then he gets auto-offended. This is not my case fortunately, I'm more peaceful so I don't fall in that auto-offense, I don't think you are annoying because you used a word that could offend me indirectly. What I always tell to my brother is that he haves a "twisted" vision of the world, even if he thinks he is right, he missed some vital information that some person or no one knows. Thinking "logically" only lets you link everything you researched into a way that only you understand, and because you still don't know that X factor you get to a wrong reality, being the fact that what is real for you is not the same for other person. When you realize that you missed the X factor, you redesign your logic, the problem is that there's always another loose factor, or can you say that you have the ability to understand almost everything in the universe? of course no one can. I bet you are wrong about that one stupid person is happier that a smart one, it's not that that person is stupid or ignorant, it's just that he don't want to loose his time thinking about universal laws, he just leave all the troublesome reasoning to people like you and wait for a resumed answer, then he saved all the headaches and can use that time for a better porpoise. Try to not expand yourself like we did here all the time, if you are logical enough then you will find the way to explain your point in less phrases, also being smarter doesn't mean you are wiser, you can gain the ability to pre-read your listener's mind and realize what word or phrase can offend him, you will prove yourself wiser if you find words that are less offensive, even if don't think that word is offensive for you, and that doesn't turn you into an hypocrite. A person who goes all the time saying that he is a genius is seen as an idiot, while a humble person is seen by other people as wise. PS: First paragraph and third paragraph's first phrase were jokes.

You strike me as the kind of person I wouldn't want in my group during a Zombie Apocalypse. Sure, you may know everything about everything (generally speaking) and you might even be a great teacher, assuming you could stick to a particular subject and progress it in a way that others could interpret.
But this whole "Neurotypical" is annoying. It's just another label to slap on the collective...and labels are just silly.
Try calling us "People," you might get a little further in relationships you have with others. And quite honestly, I could go into some other points...but hell, it was a chore just typing this.

I think that you need to understand what other people expect from a friend and someone that won't put them off by seeming arrogant—the people I interact with on a daily basis aren't interested in the things I'm interested in, and waxing eloquent about my interests in an incessant, frustrating manner puts them off. I'm guilty of doing that myself, and I know better these days—people also don't like to be labeled, as they feel it compromises their self-esteem and only makes them view you as a threat, just by instinct. For different people, there are different and necessary ways to interact—I know a lot, like you too, but I know when to keep things to myself.
Knowledge is useless when you can't communicate it. And some knowledge isn't worth communicating in our modern society.

TL:DR *Shot* :11: Okay, okay, in all seriousness. I can see where you are coming from. I'm somewhat of an intellectual myself. bBt I don't look down on other people unless they've really done something to deserve it. And guess what pally? You're in a very precarious position in my eyes. A person with your supposed intellegence who wants to be "Ignorant" is pure lazyness. Essentially, you are saying that it's a burden to be smart. That it's painful to see problems and try to make solutions. That you wish you were as "dumb" as the average Joe because ignorance is bliss. I gotta say that that's a really lousy attitude to have. Especially your "Neurotypical" catch-all putdown. (Incidentally, I think that the term itself sounds amazing and I am totally stealing it for a villain in one of my stories.) Asbergers refuse to change their minds? Well, then I guess that I'm a member of whatever mental club you're running, because I have asbergers and I'm willing to change my stance if logic supports it. Unlike you, however, I seem to have found a way to live with myself. I highly bet I also have more friends than you do. You don't catch on that people want you to stop? I myself get embarrassed by how often I ramble, but I stop myself and apologize (generally unnecessarily) before someone tells me to stop themselves. All it takes is practice and self awareness. True happiness? What is true happiness? You say it's impossible for a human to reach happiness. I have NO Idea what you mean by this. I can be happy. How in the world do you MEASURE HAPPINESS? It's relative! What makes one dude happy will bore another to tears! What one man loves another mildly enjoys! Are you saying that your mind has advanced to the point where you can measure your emotions? Sorry Mr. Spock, I highly doubt it. Pleasure is an abstract concept and attempting to apply firm limits to it will only lead to... well... this conversation. Why don'y you have friends? Simply put. You ARE an Emo. You're just an intellectual emo. These two posts of yours are full of putdowns, both to yourself and to other people, selfpity, and depression. I can see right through your attempts at making yourself feel important. You say you have no ego, but no mind like yours can live without an ego. You WANT to show of your intellegence. You NEED to feel important. Why can I see through you? Because I AM you! Or at least, the person you could be if you stopped treating your fabulous mind as a liability, and started treating it like the asset it should be! I think that we can either be best friends, or worst enemies. Personally, I'd like to be your friend, if you don't push me away. I can see both the best of myself in you, and the worst of myself in you. I'd like to help you better yourself, if you'd let me.

Like you Adrian, I too have a habit of 'seeking the truth', whether in video games or anything else.
However, when I find the information I need, I do not take the whole of my time telling others in a very complicated wall-of-text, nor do I go and place a subtle 'So I'm right and you're wrong' scenario in the whole fiasco, as well as prejudice. I keep my views open to all sorts of interpretations and viewpoints people may have.
I too have aspergers, but I do not treat it as a problem. Instead I see it more as a gift: A gift for giving me my creativity and seeking knowledge where I least expect it. I don't see it as a curse.
Logic is a good thing to have, but using it to too much of an extent, yes, you can become annoying after a while. Sometimes you gotta set it aside, and look over the basics of something before you put your logic into action.

Would you care to read the whole thing. You just actually made one of the bad things I said some neurotypicals tend to do to me. You attacked me when I never said anything about you. In fact, I never said anything about anyone in the forums here. I was complaining about neurotypicals in the world without specifying. Not only that, according to you, you decided to not ignore almost all of my post rather than reading it throughly. Don't be ridiculous, and do not take it the wrong way. I have read the whole rant of yours, but cannot agree with your portrayed logic. This in itself is a problem, as you have presumed that these 'abnormal' functions make a person into some sort of 'freak of nature', or quoting you, "inferior beings". You keep using these measuring terms, but I have the impression that you are hiding behind them not unlike an instinctive defense mechanism, and also using it as an excuse to feel 'special' about yourself (read: supremacy by rarity). So? The person with Aspergers can gather more information from the same experience. So what? So you're shutting yourself out, is that it? And for what, just that people will wonder where you've disappeared off to? To be acknowledged indirectly? There are things you can and cannot say/express in this world, no matter how right you may be, you need to wise up and pick the 'fights' you can actually manage to have a say in. Because right now, the impression I get of you is of a spammer. But to make it worth your time, here's a tip which would help you: Assuming your case is genuine and medically proven, keep this little "Aspergers" feature to yourself; do not be too open about it. Such a 'disability' (in-context: as defined by the Disability Discrimination Act) will only make you shunned by your associates and surface-level "friends", and using it as an excuse would not only make you look worse by drawing attention to it, it would also make others with a similar condition look worse.

Even if I continued to try and debate against every mis-interpretation in here, my messaged would be even more mis-interpreted. Thus, I'll leave one final message before I live.
If I could kill myself, I would. Because of religion, I can't.

The thing you've gotta know about truths is that even the complicated ones tend to be stated simply. The more you have to explain something, the more likely it is to not be true. Keep on looking.
And do take heed of Anima and Cyberguy's words on Asperger Syndrome--I know that old adage, "When you meet X-amount-of Aspies, then you've met X-amount-of Aspies," but most of the people I've met and encountered online with Asperger's have still been able to lead fulfilling, positively-oriented lives.

I will try and debate the stuff that I haven't specifically done before in this topic
Since an asperger can gain more information from the same amount of experience, it means that he will suffer more. Basically, the more knowledge someone has equals to the more pain they will suffer. It is noticeable at first (When I considered it a blessing), but over the years the pain has increased to such extreme amounts that I have to use powerful anti-depressive pills in order to feel somewhat stable.
I don't look down on other people, I look down on myself. It might sound af it I was blaming neurotypicals, but actually normal humans are neurotypicals. I actually look up to their way of thinking about life.
The laziness part is difficult to debate because it is true to an extend. I'll relieve a chapter in my mind while writing the following (But I won't write the chapter itself.) . At the start of 2009, I suffered a severe emotional trauma. Since then, I've been afraid of emotional pain because I never want to feel that again. I do have ideals in my head that I try to follow, but... I know it's a stupid excuse without any logic. I might bu an asperger, but I'm still young and I have much to learn about life. Nobody is perfect. I'm just afraid...
I use logic too much due to my obsession with research. This obsession appeared after the trauma I talked about earlier. It was some sort of side-effect which I don't have an explanation for yet. The problem is that I don't want to act, and I've researched so much that I always include logic in my posts and even in casual talking at home or with (now-ex) friends. It's so natural for me to talk in that way that I don't even notice that I'm exaggerating.
You misunderstood me. Any human can reach true happiness. The problem is that the human brain can't detect true happiness (I learned this in Psychology Class), so even if it reaches it, the person will not notice he is 100% happy. People can feel a happiness of some sort (I gave this the "label" of Glee), but they will never be able to know when they feel true happiness because, like you said yourself, a human can't measure it's own happiness levels.
Also, I have never watched any Star Trek movie or any chapter of the TV Series. I only know who Spock is due to the many references of him all over the media.
I can't believe that I'm posting this, but I'm starting to think it might be kind of true. Not only do I pity my life and would like it to end as soon as possible, but I would have contemplated suicide before if it wasn't for religion. (Though I admit I'm not sure of the EXACT definition of the word ego. I will search for it after posting this.) More than feeling important, I want to feel acknowledged. The human being is a social being and I've been alone for long because I don't have any true friends. I'm always alone in here and I also suffer due to it. I just want friends that understand me and accept me for who I am... *Is seriously about to cry... And I honestly just noticed that typing this in-part confirms your theory, but I'll still write it.*
I admit that I used to call neurotypicals just common people or common human beings. It was all of my psychologists that taught to use the word neurotypical. It got stucked in my head and for some reason it is the only label I don't find offensive. (Possibly because it is better than my label in my opinion.) And yes, labels like this caused WWII.
I never called all of you neurotypicals. I was just ranting about my life in general, not about all of you.
I've always had the idea that knowledge is worth communicating until it is needed. However, I think I... OK. Now I need to apologize.

Do you really want an extreme solution to your problems Adrian? Suicide (and let me tell you frankly) is stupid and I know you know it, first of all, I recommend you stop believing all that crap all the psychologist are saying to you, logical reasoning is meaningless because the people, including scientist, teachers, psychologists, and every smart person existed, are imperfect and normally they ignore the reality or they modify it to look smarter.
1 Corinthians 3:19 says: "This world wisdom is foolishness for God." Only He knows the real truth and He tell us what our imperfect mind can assimilate at the moment in the bible. The humans who supposedly are geniuses are in reality babies compared to God's knowledge. I know you are religious but, what do you think when you are in church? "How can that be possible? It has no sense at all" do you research later the points you didn't understand? or does the church tell you only what you already knew? Keep assimilating human reasoning and you won't get anything at all, it would not be of help to you now or at the time you'll die.
The extreme solution I'm talking about is going to a Jehovah's witnesses' Kingdom Hall, just go, sit and listen quietly, if you were planning to loose your life why not loose only 2 hours? I was planning on writing a detailed description of what you would listen there but I prefer that you discover it yourself. I sincerely hope you think about it. That's everything I had to say.
