what do you do to survive when you're surrounded by idiots?
when the average iq is barely above the level of mental retardation?
and you're being persecuted as a consequence of it?
we have to interact with the people around us in some way or another. so, the intelligent must conform to the majority opinion - no matter how stupid it is - in order to survive.
but, what if you just can't do it?
what if you just can't deal with them?
again: stupidity usually wins.
it's a historical constant.
