I'm not trying to convince you that your wrong - because you ain't.

I'm saying that if you can't handle the intellectual boxing match, stay out of the fucking ring.
They will get hurt.... the psychological pain of 'looking like an idiot' - when you're ego fragile and very 'peer centric' to begin with - it's not a pretty sight.

Calling the weak ego/intellect out now , as pathetic 'wanna be's' is a mercy mocking.
Think of it as an invitation to grow up.

....And when I really go on the offensive (it's coming, trust me) and upset some intellectual cuckoo's - it acts as a great placeholder/ reference point - to point out to others who observe their behaviors when challenged - thus destroying credibility in the eyes of said peers - and thus, strategically - achieving the whole point of the exercise.

You can't bring down a technocratic structure without first bringing down the supporters of that structures (i.e the midwit, in this context).

Hope that helps...!
