The 'tortured intellectuals' talent however, is seen as mental illness.
It's framed as being somehow ‘potentially dangerous' in an individual in respect towards society - this is the group mentality.

Pointing out other people’s errors in their thought processes (especially if they are higher in the hierarchy of an ecosystem) may result - not in respect - but in social isolation and ‘group derision’

Holy shit @lucylin. It's indeed a great post in my opinion. One with which I can relate pretty well. And since seems like this weekend (next to Valentine's Day and the Carnivals) I went through some strange spree of Rebloguing other people posts, I suspect yours will have to be one more of my Reblogs today. Hahahaha

But back to the matter... I have no intention to clearify much my previous statement with many details. So, suffice to mention that long time ago, in a very old post I wrote in steemit where I was asking something about a personal experience that for the moment I had not yet been able to decipher, one wise steemian suddenly and unexpectedly gave me the keys to crack up the conundrum with a great answer. And I quote below a small excerpt of that long reply:

"It is possible that you could be considered dangerous in some cultures. Killing is killing right? What you are really doing then is ending the life of a thought process, and for all we know in another dimension that process was a living breathing cognizant being!"

Yeah! I won't say anything else about your post or mine.
Except, that I really invite you to click on that red paragraph above and read entirely that great comment. And if you also have the time, the chance and the will to read a lil bit more rarities, then I will invite you to consume and digest the whole freaking post also.

I know you won't regret of such vicarious decision. };)
