    Being stupid is not something to ridicule, but it shouldn’t be something to admire either.

    The way you describe intelligence and wisdom are not true examples of the concepts. Truly intelligent people understand the value of social integration, and truly wise people don’t condescend.

    Too much of anything is bad, but when it comes to these things, there’s only ‘too much’ in relation to your peers. If there’s a too large discrepancy, a new tribe is what you need.

      I partially agree. Intelligence tends to also go hand in hand with anxiety a lot of the time. A lot of true geniuses don’t even know what social integration is. There are a lot of extremely intelligent people that shy from society as a whole.

      It might be just the groups I’ve been in, but I’ve seen a lot of escapism in the intelligent individuals I’ve met, and people are all too happy to just ignore their existence and flock to the few shining stars. I can’t quite really put words to this, so I may not be really articulating what I mean properly. Sorry about that. I’m honestly just concerned for the good people that get squashed by society. That just don’t fit in. Most of those individuals tend to be highly intelligent, however, ridiculing people who aren’t as intelligent is the same deal.

      I guess I mean to say that my people are the hiding people. The people who have something to say or to contribute, but this fast paced world is just too much for them.

        Hi! I’m your people. I have few but very good friends. I’m currently working on reintegrating a bit more because the world can use every pair of hands right now. Doesn’t feel right to stay on the sidelines for too long.
