I have an IQ of 127, verbal IQ 130+, non-verbal IQ 114. When I was 19, I got diagnosed with bipolar disorder. At 22, I started to think about being childfree because my kid could get a mental illness. At 25, I failed a philosophy course and did some digging. I found a document from the year 2000 saying that I had a learning disability, not otherwise specified. I called the psychologist after reading about it on the Internet, and she and I agreed that it's probably non-verbal learning disability, meaning right hemisphere deficit. I failed a test of short term visual memory. I could not reproduce a simple picture after seeing it.
I got the highest mark on my English exam in high school, and I was 3 years ahead in math. I got great marks for the first two years of university, and then fell apart in the third. I got a D in Calculus III. Ended up on academic probation twice. I also could never solve a Rubicks cube, I failed my driving test three times, and I've been in 2 car accidents. I now finally understand why. I was told that I "grew out of" my learning disability since my reading and math eventually exceeded the other kids' abilities. However, what actually happened is that my left hemisphere just got used to doing double duty. The excessive left hemisphere dominance is hereditary. Most conservatives tend to be left hemisphere dominant, and because I am extremely left hemisphere dominant, I became a hereditarian, right wing, HBD, NRx, alt-right extremist.
I now understand why I thought that way. I am a hereditarian for hereditarian reasons. If I had a child, there is a 60% chance it would have a mental illness and/or learning disability, so I am getting sterilized in 1 year. I have 1 year to think about it. The economy does not need anymore people with soft right hemispheres or mental illnesses. Human beings are nothing more than factors of production.
Welcome to the urban future.

Your post sounds a like an effort-troll, OP. However, if you are actually considering getting sterilized, answer me this: what kind of a reactionary would you be to voluntarily commit to having so much less skin in the game, forever*? More pragmatically, have you had any DNA tests done? Have you talked to actual MD doctors? Because of the absence of this information, the hemisphere explanation and other tells you come off as trolling. Nice Land ref, though.

Do you think I like watching the West burn without having any power to stop it? Also, I found out I'm part Japanese via DNA testing so fuck it. I really like the idea of not having kids that have to grow up in a post-white world.
This stuff happens all the time.

>Have you talked to actual MD doctors?
I have had numerous psychologists, psychiatrists, and MDs over my lifetime. They agree I have bipolar disorder. I already told you about the diagnosis of learning disabled.

Only with my GP. My psychiatrists straight up lie to me with the PC bullshit. They say I can do whatever I want, have as many kids as I want. They never tell you that the bipolar divorce rate is 90%, or that it takes 10 years off your life, etc.

The different hemisphere theories is pseudoscience, don't worry about it.
>If I had a child, there is a 60% chance it would have a mental illness and/or learning disability
Do you think your own life was bad? Do you think your own life is not worth living? Then why worry about the small chance your child will end up with the same problems you had. The world needs more high IQ people breeding, not less.
And the chance is small. Where on Earth did you get that 60% figure? Most mental illnesses are nowhere near that heritable. The variation in human brains is governed by a lot of small genes rather than a few big ones. So after sexual reproduction the genes will be all mixed up and the chance of them having your exact problems is minimized.

Pic related. There are many different types of IQ/cognitive ability tests. While they do correlate well, it's far from 100%. Entirely possible someone could do well in some areas and not in others.

There is literally nothing wrong with Japanese genetics.

Yeah but consider that statistic for a moment before making serious life decisions based on it. The divorce rate of normies is already over 50% for starters. Then consider that statistics about divorce rates can vary a huge amount if you are talking about males or females. Etc.

Can you elaborate? Naively, I would think heterosexuality keeps them somewhat in sync.

I don't know about bipolar disorder specifically. But I would be very surprised if they were the same. Men and women are attracted to different things.
For an obvious example, neuroticism. Extremely unattractive trait in men, doesn't seem to matter for women.

I just don't think that people who need medication to survive before age 30 should breed. I shouldn't be here. 30% of bipolar people kill themselves before age 30. I'm not against adopting kids. I attempted suicide when I was 15. Why would I want to bring a disabled kid into a job market of 9 billion people by mid century? I really wanted to have kids, but if I can only have 1, and if it's going to be disabled, fuck it.
As for the learning disability, it's just autism spectrum.

Yeah, but I'm not a university graduate. The best I could do at this point would be maybe an English or biology degree, graduating at around 30. It would suck. Since I'm not a uni grad, the woman I would probably marry would be a non-uni grad, so the divorce rate would be elevated.
Also, remember that my non-verbal IQ is only 114.

This statistic doesn't seem weird to you?
If you really believe that Bipolar disorder is genetic, and that they are so unsuccessful at life and relationships… Well then why the hell haven't they already gone extinct? Why does it need your help to remove it from the gene pool? It seems to be doing such a good job at that already. Your beliefs are not consistent.
> if it's going to be disabled, fuck it.
Again, mental illnesses are nowhere near as heritable as you seem to think. Your kid would have a slightly increased risk.
>I just don't think that people who need medication to survive before age 30 should breed.
This is a weird belief to me. I wear glasses. I can only see a short distance without them. In the ancestral environment I would be at a severe disadvantage. Yet this condition is easily fixed with modern technology so who cares?
Additionally it's worth noting that all of these things may be "diseases of civilization". There's no way, that in our natural environment, such a high percentage of humans need glasses or have depression or bipolar disorder. There's some theories that these things might be caused by our unnatural way of life. E.g. lack of exposure to sunlight seems to correlate with both depression and nearsightedness. Our diets are way different and we are way more sedentary.
>My non-verbal IQ is *only* one standard deviation above average.
You are well above average even in your worst category. You are fine. Verbal IQ is what matters anyway.
>Since I'm not a uni grad, the woman I would probably marry would be a non-uni grad, so the divorce rate would be elevated.
For the love of god, stop living your life around questionable statistics.

My family is full of rich people. People with some but not all of the genes are successful.
