ChesneyChrist: If ignorance is bliss then knowledge is... fear?

But I don't know whether it's intelligence that creates fear or the environment created by the intelligent that creates fear? Is it just a posh spaz whose health and safety measures work too well? If we had social mobility would the intelligent still be anxious? Would people who tear themselves from nothing have the same anxiety disorder? Is it not intelligence so much as how intelligence overlaps with posh spaz?
Or maybe working class come good goes mad in another way. One that isn't allergy and anxiety, or ocd. But I certainly would argue the role of posh spaz. Intelligence makes safespace and safespace makes anxiety. The more domesticated, the more secure the worse anxiety gets.

I would argue that the modern world was built by the salt of the earth getting educated. We gained access to the genes of little Einsteins who nevertheless lived the lives of real men. We fall down without them.

The last time we saw so much of that was the post war world. Catching flu, throwing punches, using long words - all done by the same bloke. You don't get this so much now with the spinelessness of woke and the mindlessness of Trump.

The effete have all the education and robust have almost none of it.

In the past there was perhaps more of the madness of the well-educated ruffian. A clockwork orange.

I lost my bliss, because I wanted to see what the hatred for Trump was all about.. Now I see it was all a brainwashing by the Dem politicians, and their bought media.. I wish I could un-see what I've seen..

The Joseph Heller book 'Catch-22' outlines the military conundrum of self-identification of insanity. If you think you are insane - you couldn't possible be; an insane person wouldn't be able to identify the affliction.
