I finally figured out my superpower. I’m retarded. Let me explain. I can talk business with some of the smartest people alive, but I also understand how dumb the average human actually is. Most “smart” people can’t. The average mind is so incredibly simple, you have no idea. To the average person, 2+2 = tree. A smart person cannot understand this, I can. That landing page you think is perfect? Watch a Mouseflow heat map. The user is clicking every single button except that pretty one that says “See If You Qualify.” To your smart mind it’s obvious, but when 2+2 = tree, it’s not obvious. You need flashing buttons. Arrows. Big “CLICK HERE.” You have to design for the modern day village idiot. My edge? I can think like them without being them. Most people can’t. Do your best to channel your inner retard. Trust me when I tell you, no matter how retarded your mind can get, it’s not as retarded as the average human walking this earth. PS: nothing against Special needs people because they are a are smarter then then day to day humans in this world. I bet they can function far better then most of the people we are all dealing with daily. PSS: I am aware this post will be throttled because of my word usage but so be it.
