Sisyphean Intelligence

when intelligence is a Sisyphean task.

If someone has Sisyphean Intelligence any intelligent thought will metaphorically roll back down right before being formed. It does not matter how hard they try, someone with Sisyphean intelligence will always seem as if cursed by the gods into stupidity.

Person 2: nah, he is simply a man of Sisyphean intelligence

Sisyphus Moment

1. A moment in which a struggle seems to be close to ending, but then goes all the way back to the beginning.

2. Endlessly dying to Sisyphus Prime in ULTRAKILL.

Sisyphus' Time Machine

The act of going back in time to change an event but failing to change anything, so you go back in time again to try to change the event but fail again, causing you to go back in time again to try again, looping indefinitely.
Person 1: If you could go back in time to when you were five with all your current knowledge would you?
Person 2: Yeah, I could invest in Bitcoin early! I wouldn't have to work a day in my life!
Person 1: What if your parents didn't believe you? Then you would have to go back in time again.
Person 2: Ohh, you're right. Even if I did go back in time it wouldn't change what happens.
Person 1: It's Sisyphus' Time Machine.
