Dear posterity:
I paste here a copy of the little text i wrote at the application page for the said group. I don't know if they will accept me, but in any case i am confident that the benefits of having posted this also here will greatly outweigh the tiny cost of writing these few explanatory lines.
So, here's the thing:
Please tell us about yourself, including why you believe you are qualified to join our group(s). You may wish to include the following types of information about yourself: interests and hobbies, formal education, vocations/avocations, leadership experience, awards, accomplishments, patents, professional or scientific papers, etc.
Hello. I'm a mathematician, musician ,translator and shaman (please don't frown at this, only ignorant hicks frown at the unknown and that which challenges their university sanctioned beliefs). As a part of the brush with psychiatry that my initiation into shamanism implied, i was given a test and a little piece of paper (letter size is the standard in mexico) with a number that i've done my best to forget (so i don't have to say it) and the words "highly superior intelligence" (only in spanish) next to it. Several thousands of kilometers away from me now, in mexico city, I have this paper, but i will trust my not so blurry mental record that this number was 148. I'm interested in empowering the poor youth through mathemathical, musical an economic education in order to mitigate economic inequality, disrupting predatory financial practices, disempowering irrationalist people, and giving ayahuasca to european style illustrates of the kind that know wht IQ is. I learned music beginning at age 3. I grew up ina highly perverse/irrationalist milieu and was strongly punished socially for not falling in with lies or inefficiencies that people around me considered inescapable, threfore my leadership experience has been mostly confined to rebellious types, most notably the student strike of 1999-2000 in mexico city. I don't have any awards or patents because i was banished from the little clique of middle class pseudoillustrates that run mexico on account of making an exceedingly clear analysis of their supidity, lack of integritý, cruelty and decadence. My greatest accomplishment is the reasonably clear intuition of soul polluting mechanisms (don't frown at this either i'm not making any ontological claims about the soul, if the word scares you, read "psychological") inherent in most hierarchical/money-sanctified structures as well as in the generalized torture-and-ransom operation we call "modern society" and the ensuing shifting of my life strategy in order to minimize participation therein and the concomitant attrition. Not to mention having become a shaman, certified by bona fide shamans from cultures that have been using entheogens for things "we" (european epistemology. I put quotation marks around the we, because it's actually "them" or maybe "you") don't understand yet. Looking forward to facilitating real experiences of the great beyond to people sanctified by the respectability of the international psychiatric community through the label "high IQ". What do you feel you can contribute to those groups you have requested to join?
Hyperclear and extremely erudite elaborations of moral theory ,epistemology, philosophy of language and of course, initiation into the true esoteric mysteries of our age (hint: it's not ayahuasca, ayahuasca is now a public mystery, oxymoronic as that may sound).
Razor sharp psychoanalytical-type discipline for self bias-correcting Way out of the box thinking. Cognitive behavioral shamanic therapy to help unhappy high iq members of normal society transition into a different lifestyle they may understand to be better, but not dare to try... Please forgive the messy fonts and backgrounds, dear posterity, after all you're not that important to me.
