My Big Mistake

Stop being a sperg and take better care of yourself.

It's obviously important to think about shit but that big brain of yours isn't going to get you laid by itself.

In addition to reading and doing intellectually satisfying tasks, you should also be developing yourself in other areas. Work on improving your physical health/athleticism, making money, and building better relationships.

It's much more difficult to complain about how dreadful life is when you have a lot going for you.

You just became lazy is all. Time to become unlazy and productive.

Start putting your brain to use. Being on that range and not studying is like having a decent sized dick and never getting laid.
You don't even get the chance to notice that what you were born with won't solve your problems when you start to actually engage them.

Make a habit of ALWAYS be learning something. Pick up something, learn, become decent, hit next, repeat. This is how you'll keep that 130 polished.

Find what you like and read it. There is some obligatory shit for your country that might as well take you a couple years, so, read it. Don't ignore the world's best sellers.

And if you're in school, stop whining. You have no excuse for regular grades. The tests weren't designed for you (top 2%?), there's no reason for you to be beaten by guys that score 150, you'll just have to study a bit while they won't need to study at all.

Start reading philosophy, political economy, history, sociology, etc. Heilbronner is a decent starting point.

Start studying fascism. It's never too late. Learn everything there is to know about Corneliu Codreanu.

Start three courses on Coursera, begin doing Duolingo every day to learn another language. Listen to podcasts at 1.5x speed, Joe Rogan is a good one to get ya thinking.

Read marcus Aurelius' meditations

Budget like a mother fucker and save dollars to take action

Your mind will catch up,

Agree with all of the above, and add some music in. Research it though, some types are better than others. But just listening to it works to stimulate your brain.

And read. a lot.

Get back on track, your mind needs momentum. Start slow and easy, work your way up. I tested 140 (really young, if it holds up now who knows) and I also dumbed myself down for a while but you can make your mind a powerhouse again pretty easily if you do indeed have that mental capacity.
