I wish I was an intellectual. I always get frustrated when I read commentary from intelligent people. They talk about people that I don't know about and use examples that I just don't understand. If I could understand them, then I feel like I could get a lot smarter. But if feels like there is this giant wedge that blocks me from clearing that gap. Especially when it comes to the reasoning behind their actions which always seems hard to figure out. This giant wedge makes me angry. It feels like someone just drove a nail on my skull and used it to split my brain in half. I guess this causes me to be angry and to be a major jerk whenever I read these things.
I wish I was an intellectual. That way I could invent flying cars and rainbow powered reactors to generate energy for the whole entire world. Free energy for all of mankind. I think that using plants for fuel is the new future and that if people were smarter we wouldn't have to fight all these wars for gasoline. I think that it is stupid that we kill innocent human beings to just get some oil. Instead we should spend more time thinking about solutions like grassoline so that there would be no more strife and problems for anyone. If we didn't waste time doing the same things over and over like killing each other, we would be able to do new things that would help everyone.
I wish I was an intellectual. If I was smart enough then I would be able to learn how to work with other people instead of just being angry at them. But if I do get really smart, then I'm not sure I would want to tell anyone. Because if I told everyone I was smart, then everyone would have expectations of me and then I would have all this pressure and I don't work well under pressure because people expect results. A lot of other people might be jealous of my intelligence or there might be other people smarter than me who make me look dumb. Also I don't know why I would need to tell people I am smart. I should just show them I am smart by doing smart things and maybe they notice how smart I am by my actions and can see that I'm smart without me needing to tell them. But I am too dumb to do smart things and thus make a fool out of myself.
I wish I was an intellectual.
How about you? Are you an intellectual?
