>have a female friend who is very intelligent and interested in literature and art in a sincere, mature way
>I don’t find her physically attractive at all and so cannot date her
It’s a strange feel, is this how girls feel when they make friends with their orbiters? It’s not quite like that because she’s not pursuing me. Genuinely wish I could find a girl with her personality but a body I like.

>mfw all my family members have at least 140+ iq

I try to read them like this: native, english, native, english etc. This allows me to kind of balance between english lit and my native lit. The other thing is I rather tend not to read translations of english works and original always feels better.
I also have never read a paper book in english - always ebooks(free, easy to find, dictionary etc.)

>read the Bible
>completely anti-individualism, "freedom as the ultimate good", materialistic, prosperity-on-Earth, etc.
>somehow John Locke made Liberalism out of this
1 Corinthians 12-13 blows Locke's claim that a Christian Commonwealth cannot exist anyway
What the fuck is going on

If I actually could be passionate about anything, I surely could achieve great things. It's such a shame I'm a detached mess.
