I doesn't make any sense, does it? The above I mean.
Well, not yet. Not to you.
So, let's take them one by one, and see if that makes any sense.
You may have noticed, the title is in two sentences, clearly separated by a period. Now that has a meaning, we are actually talking about absolutely different subjects.
So let's take them subjects one by one and try to make some sense out of this title, if ever possible.
Intelligent:
(adj.)
c. 1500, a back-formation from intelligence or else from Latin intelligentem (nominative intelligens), present participle of intelligere. Somebody able to understand things as they actually are.
In the human invented I.Q. scale, intelligent people belong amongst the normal people (normodotated people) at the upper eshalon, the best of the "normies", above that you are either a Savant (from French, Savoir; based on the latin sapere, to know) or a genius (Latin: [ˈɡɛnɪ.ʊs]; pl.: genii) is the individual instance of a general divine nature that is present in every individual person, place, or thing.
Basically intelligent is just somebody normal, that does not refuse to be what they are for some gain based on being ab normal.
Smart:
Smart definition: Energetic or quick in movement. Origin of Smart From Middle English smerten, from Old English smeortan ("to smart" ), from Proto-Germanic *smertanÄ… ("to hurt, ache" ), from Proto-Indo-European * (s)merd- ("to bite, sting" )
In other words, while you were sleeping in your walk something stung you back to reality, smartened you up, waked you up to being intelligent again and make a fast move to avoid being killed. Smart it is not a measure of intelligence, but rather a measure of how fast reality can wake you up from being stupid. Involuntary witt.
Moron:
From the Greek adjective μωρός (mōrós), meaning "slow, dull, foolish, stupid, silly," a moron is an less than intelligent normal, the lower end of normality, the opposite of intelligent but still on an I.Q. scale amongst the normal range of Normies. Normal, but kind of silly, slow and unreliable to do some cognitive thinking.
Imbecile:
The English adjective imbecile is, via French, from the Latin imbecillus, or imbecillis, meaning weak, feeble, in body or mind.
Bottom line, an imbecile is somebody that does not have enough brains to both sustain life and have some spare for thinking, at least minimally like a moron does. So by orders of priorities the little brains it has are used to sustain life, eating, drinking, shitting, pissing, walking and a minimal use of the hands, mainly to hold tight in slippery situations and to port food to the mouth.
Reading, forget it, writing, not even mention it, talking, minimally, rudimentary, and using basic concepts, reasoning, what is that even mean?
Oligophren:
Ultimately from Ancient Greek ὀλίγοι (olígoi, "few") + Ancient Greek φρήν (phrḗn, "mind, soul")
OLIGOPHRENIA definition: less than normal mental development, which somehow puts Imbecility into the lower acceptable normal mental development, thou I would argue that Imbecility is right below the bar, it should not be the norm, so Oligophrenia is a worse case scenario of Imbecility.
The individual can still eat, drink, shit, piss, sleep, and... here is where it ends, hands and legs coordination might be somehow chaotic, not to mention brain to motion coordination, let alone purpose coordination of where we go and for what reason, that is already out the window together with conversation, reading, writing and critic thinking, as little as Imbecility allows, here is gone.
Not their fault, most of the time is a birth defect, so stop blaming it on themselves, blame mother nature instead, or even better, the politicians, they allow some weird substances to be sneaked in our food chain, drinks and medication, for their financial gain, and this is mostly a result of that, hence politicians fault.
Stupid:
The root word stupid, which can serve as an adjective or noun, comes from the Latin verb Stupere, for being numb or astonished, and is related to stupor. In Roman culture, the Stupidus was the professional fall guy in the theatrical mimes. In other words a perfectly "Normie" that pretended to be an Imbecile or Oligophrene for a while in front of an audience, for the money they paid him to act as a "Subnormal" human.
Stupidity is a lack of intelligence, understanding, reason, or wit, an inability to learn. It may be assumed or reactive.
A personal choice.
This is why you cannot cure stupid, you can cure illnesses, but not personal choices.
Technically a stupid is a "Normie", many times from the upper eshalon, very intelligent, that understood it can make a nice living playing the imbecile, executing instructions, orders and indications contrary to common sense, humanity, reality, personal convictions, for a nice living and a nicer pension. Be it in the service of government and administration, such as Politicians, Army, Secret Services, Police (and similar like Guardai, ICE, Gendarmes, Carabinieri,etc.) or of private entities (corporations, education, health, banking, NGO's, etc.).
As you could see Stupidity is not a natural condition at birth, unlike the above ones, but a conscious deliberate choice, and the only way to cure it is to make stupid poor, so their only chance to not be poor is to stop being stupid and start being normal again.
Idiot:
Just like Stupidity, it has nothing to do with conditions at birth, and if you think Idiot means Stupid, well, you are not only Stupid but also in-cult and uneducated.
There was a time people thought Stupidity is a result of poverty, education was expensive, so were books, and information was only flowing into rich privileged class hands.
I have bad news for you, now information is available online for free to just about anybody that has a smartphone or tablet at hand, even if second hand and the battery is dead hence they need to keep it plugged all the time, if you have a SIM contract in the device, or some WiFi access, information is there, abundant, free, overwhelming... so why are people still Stupid and have no clue what an Idiot is?
An Idiot, in modern use by stupid people, is a stupid or foolish person.
But the truth is... you ought to study this before you make a fool of yourself:
The word "idiot" comes from the Greek noun ἰδιώτης (idiōtēs), meaning a private citizen or individual who does not participate in public life.
From ἴδιος (ídios, "one's own, pertaining to oneself, private").
In other words, somebody normal, that does not go around looking for "likes" on Facebook or in real life, a non public person, non politician. Somebody that keeps for himself and minds it's own business. Not a stupid, those love to collect "likes" in any way shape or form. Being an Idiot is the exact opposite of being Stupid.
You don't have to believe me, just go online, open Google translate (or other similar machine) choose to translate from Greek, to whatever language you prefer, modern Greek included, type in IDIOT and see what comes out, try IDIOTES, and see what you get, try IDIOTIKA PRAKTIKA, and ... well... do the other way around, chose to translate from your language to Greek and write anything you can imagine that starts with Private...rights, practices, choices, ideas, person, individual, and see how many of them in Greek contain the word IDIOT-something.
You have a smart car, apparently not smart enugh not to drive you into a wall or a stationary vehicle yet, but smart enough that the producer can cut you off if you skipped a payment, or withold your internal heating from working if the government told them you polute the planet with your way of thinking. Soon the government will also direct your car to drive you straight into a police station for indefinite detention in your own car because you hit the LIKE button on a post they do not agree with. Remeber, locked by your car, in your car, in the police yard, no toilet in your car...
You have a smart house, opens with your face, your voice, your fingerprint, all easy to steal from yourself just by passing you by on the street while you talk over bluetooth on your phone, plus taking a UV photo of your cup after you had a latte... but you trust it to be your unbreakable castle and some doctrine something...
Inside your smart home you do have a smart TV that spies on you, what face you make while looking at this or that or the other and what comments you utter in privacy.
No... not alone, together with the smart fridge that resupplies itself with things you did not ordered, but some algorithm decides that you were ordering from companies or people the government or corporations do not like, so they canceled that and ordered from those that make their short list...
Smart wash machine, that wil report you to Greta Thurnberg for using detergents that she did not approved of, and for not having any item that shows sympathy to her movement... whatever that is at the time for she kind of changes her mind on a daily basys, and than the macine at her orders will shred your garments to show you who's the boss in your smart house.
You are also having a smart grid power supply, that charges you ful price when using grid electricity, but hey, coupled with your own Photovoltaic pannels power production, at least day time for now, it also charges you full price for the power you think you are selling to the grid, what? You thought that by paying for those pannels you are going to save money?
And your smart bank account, that only allows you to withdraw X ammount a day from any ATM, and soon only to spend Y ammount a day even online or with your card in any shop, for your own protection, evidently...
Do you want me to mention here your... hmmm... smart... government, that you think it works for you while in reality it works you, to death, in debt, and despair...
How about smart wars, that you rooted for soooo much while watching the news, happening elswere on the planet, now nearing your location any day with comercial drones bought off the shelf dropping bombs in your smart home, wrecking your smart garage, and the smart car inside... you know, like in Ukraine, Russia, Palestine, Israel, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Poland, Danemark, Romania...ups, the last ones are NATO countries, that hurts...
The future is here, enjoy it, buy smart things that can be turned against you instantly just because you are not smart enough to control them yourself.
With the exception of some, those who are fighting a hard battle against you; to steal from you, to extort you, to enslave you, because this is their battle, to milk you as much as possible.
They are called politicians, NGOs and philantropists, charity organisations, public administration, corporatists, etc., they have many names and they absolutely want to "save" you, at any cost, even against your will, so if you don't want to be saved (from your money, from your work that hangs heavy in your refrigerator, pantry, clothes closet and in the parking lot, etc.) than they are ready to kill you (with an injection or something) or put you in prison, how dare you... to work, to have, and not to give them for free since they saved you... (from Russians, from Ukrainians, from Europeans, from Covid, from the Devil, and from his brother the Demon, yes, even religions are nothing but politics and robbery on the highway)
Christ calls you to work and to have to the fullest, so that you can give with joy.
Don't let them take your money, don't give it to them, let them work for themselves, let them leave politics and public administration (meaning theft with the law in their hands, because they, the bandits in power, hand in hand with the bandits in opposition, with the support of the bandits in the administration, police, judiciary, army, prosecutor's office, and the bandits in cults and religions, make up laws against you, an honest and hardworking human) and let them open a small business to work and produce what the neighbors buy with pleasure. That's work, not what they do.
Let me be blunt;
The next years will not be about comfort, but about self imposed balance. Not about panic, but about lucidity. Not about theories, but about what you do concretely with your life.
The next 10 years are not apocalyptic years. They are years of natural selection. Whoever enters unprepared, gets hurt. Whoever enters with a clear head, moves on.
The first thing you need to understand is that debt makes you a slave. Not tomorrow, not at a certain moment in the future.
Now.
In the world to come, the man with installments, leases, credit cards and useless subscriptions is no longer free. He is caught in a vice that is slowly tightening.
That is why the first step is brutally simple: cut your debts off. One by one. Not for the bank sake. For yourself. Freedom begins the day you no longer owe anyone anything.
And is not free.
Second thing: the kind of world where you had a job, a salary and the illusion of stability is already over. It died without a memorial service.
In the years to come, a single income means vulnerability. You need two, ideally three income sources. A main job, yes. But also a secondary skill, a parallel activity, something that produces money without depending on a single boss or a single system. It doesn't matter what. What matters is not to be left with your hand outstretched if one falls.
Government safety net... an illusion they mantain to keep you in check, and if that is no longer benefiting them... is gone together with the money you have put in it mandatory all the years you paid taxes.
And here we get to the essential: the skills. Not the diploma. Not the title. The real skill.
There are three types of skills that survive any crisis: the human ones, the technical ones and the practical ones. If you know how to talk to people, negotiate, organize, teach others, you don't starve. If you understand technology, automation, AI, data, you are in demand. If you know how to repair, build, grow, do something with your hands, you will always have value.
Stop watching movies, start watching tutorials, and than try to see if you can do that yoursef.
Those who only know how to “get hired” and "hold to a job" will be the first ones to be sacrificed.
Then comes the family. No, we are not living in apocalyptic movies. But there will be shocks. That is why, not out of fear, but out of reason, you need minimal stocks: food for a few days, water, basic medicine, batteries, cash, a list of contacts, clear routines for the children.
Not to hide, but so as not to panic when others do.
And there is something else that people underestimate: community. The individual alone breaks down. The isolated family exhausts itself. The nation without communities falls apart.
You need a few reliable people. Not many. Three to five are enough. Neighbors, friends, people with whom you can build something real. Nobody goes through hard times alone.
On the financial side, the rule is one: don't put everything in one place.
Not just the bank, do you know how many people got de-banked last year alone for saying something, or for re-tweeting some meme... Not just cash, and the cash itslef not a single currency, have more than one. Not just crypto, extrmelly volatile just like money held in any bank. Not just property, taxable, confiscable, government knows you have it, so is like they have it whenever they see fit to confiscate it. You mix valubles, especially untraceable ones. You divide in more locations, different countries, various jurisdictions. You expose yourself partially everywhere, but not tottaly in a single place. Those who diversify never go completely down. You might lose some, or in some country, but stay afloat in the others.
But the safest investment remains the one in yourself. Everything can disappear: money, systems, structures, properties.
What you know cannot be taken away from you. Real education, mental development, psychology, foreign languages, social skills, understanding of technology and the world — these remain.
Next comes the part that many ignore: the mind.
Systems can collapse. But the disciplined, calm, lucid person, who does not get dragged into the hysteria of the crowd, thrives.
Reduce media consumption. Do not let yourself be emotionally manipulated. Learn to recognize propaganda (on both sides). Do not feed on panic. The mind is the shield. Not the body.
At some point, you will also have to get out of false identities. Politics, labels, sterile arguments, useless comparisons, religions. All this empties you. Return to the simple questions: who are you, what do you want, what are you capable of, what is truly yours.
And we come to the area that the world avoids, but which decides everything: the soul.
The old world is collapsing, and dirty souls fall with it. Lies, betrayal, hatred, envy, manipulation, laziness — all of these drag a person down. A pure soul attracts pure realities. Not mystical. Practical.
True spirituality is not a show. It is not TikTok. It is not an internet guru. It is silence, prayer, tradition, morality, heavy books, wise people. In a world without landmarks, this becomes the most solid shield.
Strategically speaking, you do not fall in love with empires. Neither the USA, nor Russia, nor China, nor the EU, nor the BRICS. They are all transient structures. The intelligent person does not get emotionally attached.
They adapt. They looks for the real advantage. Go with the flow without losing your backbone.
If we were to compress everything into one page, it would sound like this: live debt-free, have more income streams, develop real skills, build community, do not depend on the state, have minimal reserves, diversify, discipline your mind, cultivate spirituality, adapt, do not panic, do not victimize yourself.
The man who will live well in 2026–2036 will be neither the richest, nor the most vocal, nor the most aggressive. He will be the most balanced, lucid and pure in soul.
The rest… will consume themselves into oblivion.
Factual irrefutable science has always being:
Lots of confabulation based on precision guess work mathematically derived from imaginary numbers in lack of facts, derived from assumptions made on known theories and accepted as absolute reality, that covers less than nothing out of the entirety.
Theories now deemed obsolete by the same science once evolved, and now known as ¨full of flaws on the base of new acquired knowledge¨ and the newly theories derived from.
Which ¨new theories¨, based on past experience, cover themselves less than nothing compared with what it is out there to be known, and thus expected to be full of flaws and absolutely untrustable as soon as more knowledge is acquired, but sold again as the absolute truth that covers them all aspects possible and impossible, thus infallible, just like the old ones in the past.
Big Bang never existed, according to the new theories, that invalidate the conclusions of the old one now incorporated as a tinny part of the new ones.
I ask myself what ¨future new knowledge¨ will invalidate out of the nowadays ¨absolute truth¨ sold as irrefutable by the so called science that behave and always have behaved more like a religion than like what it would of being expected from science.
Ok, me; engineer, prototyper, coming from robotics, hands on mechatronic for industrial automation, I made myself two or three 3D printers out of crappy kits heavilly modified to make them perform as I needed, so they no longer are as bought, including motherboards, nozzles, heatsinks, stepper motors, etc, just the frames are less modified, but not virgin.
I design, print, test, and obviously re-design, for the iterarion of a product from idea to good to sell sometimes takes me to hundreds of re printings and design adjustments.
Why am I saying this?
Glass transiton, that is why.
Some of my products are made to improve 3d printers so that a crappy 200-500USD kit printer can do things normally you got to buy a 30.000 USD printer for, by just printing a few STL files of mine and mounting the prints to the printer, plus some things you buy online, and you go from PLA to... Polycarbonate, Nylon, PPS, printing capacities, and with some more twickening you go to over 400C printing PEEk and ULTEM. On your cheap kit toy, doing things for the big boys only. But without investing like the big boys.
Some other objects I create are designed to stay in a vehicle, be it on the wheels hub, or in the cabin on the dashboard, etc
As you can imagine my creations meet high operational temperatures be it from the heated print bed working just next to them at 120C, or the heatblock at 450C at 3 mm away from my object while printing for 32 hours non stop, or sitting on the dashboard of a car in the summer sun with a 75 C built in cabin heat.
Conclusion; PLA nope (becomes mushy at 50C), PETG nope, ABS neiter, HIPS no no, ASA neither (they all give in around 90C).
I tried them all during the years, they all get mushy and loose their shape, and since they are not decorative parts buut actually functional things, once their shape is a bit compromised, they do not work anymore, they become trash and end up in a bin.
So I modified my machines to go Polycarbonate, with or without Carbon fiber in the filament (Cf filament prints nicer, but becoming more stiff the part also becomes more brittle, is a trade off) or Nylon and similar, for the cheap products, (not as cheap as PLA thou... lol) but if I need to go really reliable mechanical than PPS with or without CF is a good option, and ULTEM (PEI) which is more expensive than PPS but also better heat glass transistion resistance.
PPS has amazingly the same glass transition as ABS (HIPS, ASA) but if anealed it jumps to nearly 200C resistance before deforming.
You will never get that from ASA, HIPS, ABS, PLA or PETG, not even from Polycarbonate, but hey, 150C before becoming mushy is still a good point in many applications, Nylon is a bit lower in that respect, around 140C gives in, but is more plastic deformable tolerant, practically is a pereneal hinge, you bend it back and forth a milion times before you shear it.
There you go, my two cents on materials to use in cheap 3D printers rightly tunned.
