Sci-fi version of "Forrest Gump": I've gotten smarter and have no friends anymore

The word that people praise a child most often is: smart.

Clever means witty, lively, cute, and loved; stupidity is the worst accusation against a person.

Because of the low IQ, clumsy, and the day after tomorrow, it is difficult to meet people's requirements for smart people.

Charlie is 32 years old, but his mind has stopped at 5 years old, and his IQ is only 68.

He remembered that his parents had been very patient and loving to him, but he had not grown anything other than age and height, and they decided to have another child.

With her sister, her mother became different from before, and she began to be wary of Charlie, afraid that he would hurt her sister.

Helplessly, Charlie still caused a lot of accidents because of stupidity.

My sister got an A on the exam and wanted a puppy.

Charlie said, "I can take care of the puppy. ”

But the sister shouted excitedly, "The puppy is mine, only to me!" A is mine! Puppies are mine too! ”

Worried that the addition of the puppy would make the family more chaotic, the father refused this request, and as a result, the sister willfully tore up the test paper and hated her brother who was mentally retarded.

Charlie is hated by his mother and sister because of his natural intellectual disability, and although his father feels sorry for him, he can't help his wife.

"Send him away, send him to the State Warren House."

The mother finally made such a decision.

If the disgusted Charlie had a chance, as long as a small brain surgery, he could obtain an IQ that ordinary people could not reach and become extremely intelligent, what would happen to his life?

Will people love him more?

The science fiction novel Bouquet for Algion tells such a story.

The researchers' intelligent transformation experiments on the mouse Alginon have made breakthrough progress, and the next step is to use the experiment on the human body, and if successful, it will become a groundbreaking achievement in the scientific community.

Charlie, who studied at the Warren House, became the best candidate, he was kind and kind, and he had a positive attitude towards learning.

After the surgery, Charlie's IQ also jumped from 68 to 185, and overnight, he went from mentally retarded to a genius.

He learns knowledge like crazy, and every subject can quickly reach the peak from the basics, and many things that he could not understand in the past become clear. However, the dusty memories continue to come to mind, and the relationships around them become different.

Before the operation, Charlie's uncle entrusted him to the owner of a bakery to give him a job to make ends meet.

The clerks used to make fun of him, but they covered him.

The foolish Charlie, who regarded these teasers as friends, could not quite understand the meaning of the words dignity, shame, equality, and mutual help.

It wasn't until his IQ got higher that the look of these friends changed.

Originally he would only do simple cleaning work and not hinder anyone's job opportunities, but he quickly learned to use the machine and did better than the original person. He came up with ways to increase the speed of the kneading machine, both cost savings and profits.

The boss gave Charlie a job change, a salary increase, and considered quitting the clerk who used to operate the machine, but this made Charlie the public enemy of the clerk.

Soon, Charlie discovers that another clerk always secretly collects less money at checkout, and the customer will tip him a little to fill his pocket in this way.

In the past, Charlie used to be sent by him to deliver bread to familiar customers, and he must have helped them make money.

Do you want to tell your boss? Or do you talk directly to your friends?

He knew his friend had three children to raise, but he had been working in the shop for 15 years and the owner was very kind to him.

Charlie is caught in a dilemma, even if he has an IQ of 185, he does not know whether to protect the interests of his boss at this time, or turn a blind eye. After all, they are all friendly to themselves.

In the end, Charlie decides to have a showdown with his friends, calls him aside, and openly tells him what he has found.

"What do you want?" Do you want a piece of the pie? ”

Suddenly poked by the once silly Charlie, the friend suddenly changed his face.

A few days later, Charlie was fired by his boss.

Everyone in the store disliked him and collectively demanded that the boss let Charlie leave.

They said, "You've suddenly become a big guy, an all-knowing smart guy!" You are now a normal child prodigy, holding a book at all times, always with answers.

Well, can I tell you that you think you're better than everyone else here? Well, go somewhere else. ”

"You pop up with your ideas and suggestions to make other people look like nerds."

Charlie discovered that in the past people liked him because they could laugh at him and appear smart in front of him, but now he made them feel that they were worse than idiots.

His amazing growth makes the people around him feel small, and also highlights their low energy.

"Wisdom alienated me and all the people I loved, and let me get kicked out of the bakery."

Fortunately, the smarter Charlie did not need a bakery job so much, and the knowledge he learned in more than three months could surpass the accumulation of many scientists in his lifetime, and Charlie's wisdom was unfathomable.

It's time to show the world the results of surgery.

Charlie was taken by the surgical team to an international psychology conference where people were so impressed that everyone wanted to talk to him.

However, Charlie found that these scientists, who were regarded as the most intelligent scientists, turned out to be just ordinary people, and they were only trying to hide their ordinary and some degree of ignorance.

And the two scientists who operated on themselves couldn't hide their desire to be in the spotlight, they didn't want to be stolen by Charlie.

What makes Charlie even more unbearable is that he suddenly finds that he is not treated as a "person", he is just an experiment like a guinea pig!

People care about his intellect, his life, and even his emotions, not because they care about him, but because they care about the results of the operation.

In fact, after the mouse experiment, this operation was not supported by rigorous theoretical data, and there was no long enough observation period to be used hastily on people, which was a major flaw.

Charlie will soon return to his previous state of mental retardation.

You used to be tied up in a cave and saw nothing in front of you except the shadow on the wall. By chance, you walk out of the cave, the sun is dazzling, the world is full of dangers, but are you willing to return to the cave to face the wall alone?

Charlie's intelligence slowly declined, getting worse faster than getting better.

Academic materials can not be understood, more and more typos in the diary, amnesia is more and more frequent, and later even the diary I wrote can not understand, writing more and more difficult.

He returned to the bakery, hoping to do the job of returning to the clerk.

The boss looked at him again, his face sad, he patted Charlie's shoulder and said, "You really have a kind." ”

Charlie cleans the toilet as before, and the clerk looks at him and he tells himself: If they make fun of you, don't get angry, because you have to remember that they're not as smart as you used to think. And they used to be your friends, and if they laugh at you, it doesn't mean anything because they like you too.

A new clerk saw Charlie for the first time, and he teased Charlie and said, "I heard you're a very clever guy, a supernatural being, and come and listen to him with a clever word." ”

Charlie ignored him and continued to work, but he came over and grabbed Charlie's hand and yelled at him, "While I'm talking to you, you'd better pay attention to me, or I'll break your hand!" ”

Charlie began to cry, and as before, he peed his pants when he was afraid.

At this time, the old clerk who had been exposed by Charlie walked in and grabbed the collar of the other party: "You hateful bastard, don't mess with him!" Otherwise I'll break your neck!" ”

The clerks asked the boss to fire Charlie, but Charlie remembered that he was very sad on the day he was fired, and he begged the boss to give the new person a chance, maybe he would not bully himself again.

After a strange dream, Charlie is back to his original form, clumsy and kind.

And friends still laugh at him occasionally, as they once did, but regard him as a kindred spirit.

Experiments fail, and science may improve IQ, but it cannot control human nature.

Accepting one's own nature may be the most difficult experiment for everyone to overcome.
