be intelligent, with a thirst for learning/knowledge, but no ambition, so you are stuck in a repetitive job..


Or unintelligent and ignorant of your situation, so you can take enjoyment in the mudane things of life?

basically, just ask it like this for better answers:

Would you rather be retarded and by happy about everything you see because you can't comprehend it and are generally happy?

Or would you rather be normal and realize that msot of your life sucks?

Lack of ambition means you have no aims or they have been set unreachably high. Mine are set too high.

better yet..considering the knowledge level (IQ's) of many here, let's just change the title to:

Are you happy as you are now or would you rather be retarded?

I'm being forced off my arse to find a new job since this location is closing down, though, so soon I'll have a new place to do the same thing at :p

I see blissfully ignorant people sailing thorough life all the time with nary a care in the world or thought in their head.

Never do I wish for an instant to be them no matter how crappy my life might be at the time.

Do you want to take the red pill or the blue pill?

I'd take the blue one

And I'd rather be retarded

I would love to be (more) ignorant, forget everything I have ever learned about coding and do some physical job in the countryside, drink bear and have sensless talks with friends in the evening, discussing sport events and other stuff I never cared for. Unfortunately I have become way too lazy to change my life that much.

Yes it is... nothing like destroying a few brain cells to end the day

You guys are making it sound like everyone with a brain is doomed to option 1. Obviously most intelligent people realize that some things in life suck; that doesn't mean you're miserable and hopeless.

People in #1 are split into those that do and don't. If you have no ambition in life you one of the ones who don't.
