knows not what it means

A life of high intellect, understanding of complicated mathematics and scientific theories, spend your time reading ~deep philosophical~ writings and other activities on an equally intellectual level. But you won't get any enjoyment from spending time with anyone else around you, they're far too dumb to understand you; and for this scenario I forbid you to go off and join a geek society YOU MUST BE ALONE.

A life of fun and stupidity, probably can't read, probably don't understand anything that requires a shred of intelligence; but you'll be surrounded by friends, you'll never have a dull moment, even though your idea of fun would probably be nothing more than throwing eggs at McDonalds.

PICK ONE

Definitely the first one. Sure I'd shrivel up and go insane from lack of social contact with other people, but I love to read and be smart and be able to say "Shut up I know more than you have the mental capacity too." I love science and philosophy and stuff so it's be amazing to know more about that, maths is eh but I wouldn't mind being able to understand all the complex number equations and things!

2nd Option. As much as the thought ruling the world delights me as Drakow mentioned. I will never experience happiness if I choose the 1st option. Considering I am happiest with my friends. Not to mention it would expand my pathetic ego into a giant manical one where I would think myself better than everyone and kill everyone for leaving me alone. I wouldn't put that above me.

TL;DR Ignorence is bliss and at least I have the chance of being able to get a girl/guy with 2nd Option.

I'd go with the first one.. but I'm not sure. I'm in love with someone right now.. and I value my intellect. But I also value him and wouldn't want to leave him. However one thing he loves about me is my intellect, so if I were to go with #2, I would fear that he wouldn't love me for me anymore.. I'd be a completely different person.
So it'd be a hard choice.. but if I was actually an intellect, I would be able to appreciate him being around me.. though you'd have to define "alone." Because as it stands now we're all actually truly "alone" when you think about it.
Either way I would love to inspire people. Life is about reaching higher to me.. and my personal values and goals mean a lot to me. So even if I couldn't reach my boyfriend emotionally.. I hope I would be able to inspire him and still be part of his life. I know he would never lower himself to throwing eggs at a public building.

I'll be the egghead. Of course, because I'm so smart I find a loophole to the rules and can freely engage in geek society and have all the intelligent camaraderie I want. And really, only jerks feel like everyone else around them is too stupid to be worth talking to. I'm not a jerk so I'd have no trouble with my "lesser" friends even if I did follow the rules. Of course, the idea that intelligence is linear like IQ is a little silly in the first place.

First one, hands down. As long as it has candy.

The second option sounds a lot more carefree and blissfully ignorant. I agree with a lot of other people. It'll be almost like reliving your childhood. I don't like having a superior mindset like that. Everyone is dumb and therefore they don't deserve to be in my presence. That seems like I'll lead an incredibly lonely life, and although I love being in solitude, I don't like being in solitude for an extended period of time. I need human interaction.

As much as I'd like to be the smartest geek in the whole Milky Way galaxy, I'd rather have my friends by my side than being a lone in a dark, dusty library. Even when you're not that smart, as long as you've got your friends by your side, you can achieve something in life. Just look at Forrest Gump!

Second one by far! Friendship is one of the most important things to me and I'd never give it up for anything. Friends is what helps me to make my decisions and encourages me on the choices I make.
I'd love to live without a care in the world instead of put up with the stress that intelligence may bring.
But yeah... friendship over anything.
