Intellectuals don't really pose a threat - to me at least - though they do pose a threat to idiots, and, to be frank, most humans are baseline idiots. Anyone who thinks we are a majestic race, with lots of potential, well, obviously you have very, very low expectations and it doesn't take much to impress you. We are getting worse by the hour. It has been shown, without any doubt whatsoever, that as a group, the larger the group, the increasingly stupid and moronic the behaviour of that group becomes. So few people are able to even find any peace at all within themselves, so it comes as no surprise that as a whole we are entirely lacking in any form sentience. We have successfully polluted our world, along with any teachings that may bring about the teeniest form of enlightenment. Fear rules supreme, fear of what other people think, fear of being perceived as "weird," fear of not being successful (and being successful is so important, I mean, to be successful is paramount - it beats love, care, compassion, kindness, community, peace, goodness, concern for the future, all sorts of "left-wing" beliefs fall victim to the urge to succeed. I do not believe there will be any reckoning for our behavior. We have free-will, and we will continue to abuse it even if it kills us. Not that I care, I'm dying, as we all are, and I did not have children because the ape-like urge to breed somehow escaped me, and I looked at this world and thought: "do I hate someone so much that I would bring them here, now, to watch the degradation of something that once was beautiful and now grows ugly." No, I would not wish that on anyone I would love. Why do people wear black? They're going to the funeral, haven't you heard?
