Brandenn Bremmer's mother literally thought he was an angel, and has said things like he is going to change the world. I can't find the article right now, but I read somewhere that both one of his close friends and his sister had made comments about his behaviour, and his sister said he had been depressed for a long time. Because of his intellect, he was already at his last years of college, when he died, and he had trouble with "college-life" as only a 14-15 year old boy, which is quite understandable. My point is it's definitely arguable that there were "no signs".

I am from Denmark, but have lived in Thailand for some years, and while I lived there maybe 5 years ago, it was widely popular to get "fake" braces. It looked like normal braces with cosmetic gear, but were purely for cosmetic purposes, and could obviously have serious consequences, because they were done poorly by street vendors usually.

There is a correlation between suicide and intelligence. Likewise suicidal behavior is rare in animals. Excluding purposeful suicide like exploding ants and ****

Perhaps the smarter you get, the more you realize that nothing really matters, ignorance is bliss as they say.

That Stephen hawking dude has yet to kill himself. Truly, he's won the "Not a fag" award.

The kid in the post is a big fag though, he wasn't even crippled. Maybe he was like, 5'4, or something.

Something tells me that kid would be leaps and bounds more smarter than stephen hawking if he lived on.

Check that grammar, bro. It's "more smart."
Just kidding though, I'm not a grammar nazi. But actually, "more smart" does sound awkward for some reason. Do we have a grammarxplain? grammarexplain?
User avatar #29 to #20 - JonathanNowFuckYou (11/20/2015) [-]
just 'smarter' you doof

'leaps and bounds smarter than stephen hawking"
User avatar #33 to #29 - hapasan (11/20/2015) [-]
I know that, I was making a reference.
Supposedly though, the term "more smart" is grammatically valid. I'm not sure though, which is why I wanted someone to verify.

Fagginess doesnt correlate with intelligence. Just because that kid was more of a fag than Hawking doesnt mean he was smarter.

I think this "wisdom" as one might call it is pretty stupid. Everyone with a minimum extent of intelligence knows while nothing matters in an "objective way" people can set their own priorities and try to pursue happiness. Trying to find wisdom as the cause of the correlation between intelligence and suicide rates seems paradox to me since wisdom is a thing that would lead to everything but suicide in most situations. I mean yes if you are clinging to a machine not able to do anything and rotting away it might be a wise choice to ask people to turn that thing off since you can't achieve happiness. But while i agree with the ignorance is bliss part and stupid people not thinking about suicide due to their stupidity i don't think that the lack of "objective meaning" is a concept mainly/mostly/only avaiable to the smarter fraction of our society. I bet most or at least many people we might consider stupid have thought about that before. More likely i guess as analogy being (very) smart is a bit like being on overclock. You think too much, too quickly and the wires melt away. You basically use your faster thinking speed not only on science and stuff but also when overthinking your own life. So i think its less gaining wisdom and more compressing too many thoughts on too little time/having too much concern about things and that making you depressed. At least thats how i might think this suicide thing might be partially explained. I don't have any science to back this up but this is my own assumption based on what i know from people by what they tell me and so on. And obviously thinking speed is a factor when talking about Intelligence.

I would say theres a threshold with that, since sure you can realize nothing matters, but then after that you can get over it and realize that having a good time is worth it
Although that pic is a total ******* lie, the dude went to college at age 11 so the "no pressure from parents or surroundings" was ******* retarded
Bigger reason for his suicide is probably because he never got to be with anyone the same age since he skipped years and **** , not easy to make friends when you dont fit in
User avatar #32 to #15 - dreygur (11/20/2015) [-]
No pressure from parents can be true, but it's really easy to pressure yourself if you get nothing but praise for your intelligence. A student who's been told that he/she is stupid will be happy to get a C, but one that gets his/her ego inflated by his/her surroundings will be crushed to get a B-.

Low expectations without lack of ambition leads to a happy life.

The only reason Athiests know so much about religion is because they have to learn everything they can so when they argue a religious person they can go full Sperg mode and be "right" or "win"
#34 to #21 - anon (11/20/2015) [-]
never seen an atheist that knows what they're talking about . They just recycle poorly researched notes about religion. Same goes for religious people.

3 reasons he killed himself, and it's NOT because he was so smart that he saw the right thing to do, YOU IDIOTS ! 1. 14 year olds have tender sense abilities that have absolutely no business on the educational levels he was on at the ages he was on them. 2. Hormonal imbalances and a whirling immature mental state that goes off in all directions on all tangents as if every one of them are the end of the world. 3. No adult guidance from anyone able to comprehend his situation/condition to help him cope with the overwhelming onslaught to his teen emotional / mental development under the stress of his intellect and over education. // I'm surprised he didn't blow his brains out at 11 when he hit all that college theorizing and philosophy ******** that questions all reality and everything in it, with so many conflicting ideologies from older people who are able to discern and cope with not take take anything to heart. He was a teen boy in/on a level that makes some adults blow their brains out. With no support system geared to a boy his age and development. I want to sue the parents of these kids for child abuse but there is no way to do it. At the very least he should have had a shrink, all his life, to help him sort out his feelings while being bombarded with high speed information/ disinformation. He simply could not take it anymore. When did he ever have time to play, love, laugh, even time to compile the things he was learning like people give a computer time to do ? IT IS NOT THE RIGHT THING TO DO "because he found out nothing really matters", etc.. like I'm reading in these most short sighted, ignorant and idiotic comments displayed here. **** !

The first one probably killed himself because he realized that life has no true purpose, there is no afterlife, and the only thing left to do is enjoy it.

Let's face it, considering all of his achievements and knowing that it's all going away within 60 years without any hope of stopping it, one can't help but question why they continue to live if there is no end-game reward for everything going on. It's not like we get to even have the courtesy of being able to watch the aftermath of our departure or seeing how our legacy goes on. None of that.

Our last words will either be " **** **** **** **** please no", " **** it, I hated this anyway", and rarely "Alright, I'm done here. Thanks for the ride".

All of our religious and scientific progress has no meaning outside of our lifespans, since the moment we close our eyes, everything will cease to be. After all, you won't have any of your senses, or even your conscience to acknowledge your existence with, let alone anyone else's.

So the only thing left to do with your life is to survive as long as you like,
have as much fun as you like, and celebrate your only chance to exist with everyone else.
Together you're bound by existence and the end of your existence. We all share that in common.

That boy had a lot of ambition and probably hated the thought of losing everything and everyone, but since there was no answer to this problem, it felt like a waste to continue any further. He probably was worried about losing everything he ever cared about someday...

So he took it upon himself and went out on his own terms.

I had that once.
I'm still unsure of how I talked myself out of it,
but I've valued my life more ever since.

The atheism one isn't that surprising. Not gunna go on a hurr durr atheists are teh smarterest, however think about it: If you've been a religious person all your life, and come to a time in your life where you are seriously considering the possibility that a major portion of your belief system might be wrong, you're gunna do your damn homework and be as sure as possible.
User avatar #12 to #9 - iqequalzero (11/20/2015) [-]
I think its more that atheists have to know their **** when discussing religion to show religious people how "dumb" they are. Religious people also likely arent going to read up on other religions, they are sure theirs is the right one, so why bother.
User avatar #17 to #12 - admiralen ONLINE (11/20/2015) [-]
Or its because they know their **** that they decided theres little chance that there is a god
#41 to #17 - anon (11/27/2015) [-]
They don't know their **** if they think that. AND they haven't lived very long or seen much, either.
User avatar #45 to #41 - admiralen ONLINE (11/27/2015) [-]
Yeah, my bad, the religious texts are flawless and with them here there is no doubt about there being a god
