"teenager" was just a loose term. I was not intending to offend. I really should have said "child" or something more apt.
to answer your question, I dont think I'm much smarter than the average teenager when it comes to IQ - type intelligence.
I would say that my life experience has made me more "intelligent" than the average teenager. Not just years but in my case the quality of that experience.
Understanding ideas such as "reverse cultivation" (which I understand but would have trouble explaining ) .
Age has not much to do with it. Also I am not talking about number crunching or any other feats of an intelligent brain. I am more talking about dharma (life path), "inner knowledge of Self" , stuff like that.
Of course this "intelligence" is not good for much except my own Divination .
