  • No one should have to. Most of us have decades to prepare for our old age, it’s unfair to place that burden on your children.

    That being said, I love my parents, and even if they are not expecting us to nurse them, I am prepared to hire a nurse to take care of them if needed.

    I also want to avoid cleaning doodoos if possible.










  • Also, IQ tests are a learnable skill. You can become surprisingly better at them without actually increasing your intelligence, by becoming familiar with the exercises.

    A smart non-native English speaker would likely score even lower the first time because many old tests tie reasoning to English proficiency and western culture.

    Last but not least, being intelligent is different from being smart. I’ve seen intelligent people get left behind by regular people because they took unwise decisions and wasted their potential.

    Date away, worrying about this is like worrying about dating someone stronger or taller than you. It’s doesn’t matter that much in the grand scheme of things.
