If pragmatism is genius to you, I must say you are not one. Ideas do not need to be useful in order to be brillant. A genius's focus is based at the root of the problem, the source of it. Most cannot understand it.

Environmental conditions do affect a lot, but don't overestimate them.

I'm not sure if I am one. I have the IQ, I have the symptoms and my mind is insane. I simply fear - although I know it's cowardice - to isolate myself too much from social life. My ideas are never the ones of the common, and my scapegoat is to discover that they have been written by genius of the past.

I hesitate if I should always interfere in the "name of Truth" (as such thing do not exist) even if it may seem unplesant to people. How do describe it? It just seems as my duty. I hate to hear my own voice whenever I identify I'm being arrogant, but sometimes it is simply impossible to avoid it!

Sorry for any mispelling. English is not my mother language and I do not travel to the US or England too often.
