RE: The Problem of Good: Why I'm Skeptical of Good People - And What it's Like to be "Evil"

Hi. It sucks to be brilliant at times but it's better than the alternative in my mind. I figured this out in High School as I realized that I was never expected to go to college or have a real future in the small mid-western town I grew up in. I was tracked into a low performing math class. I had to teach myself when I ended up working in an engiineering department. I ahd 30 days to learn three years of High School math. I figured that I had 30 days before they figured out that I couldn't do the work. I was there for four years.

I did consider suicide at one point but just couldn't give society the satisfaction as I realized that the system is setup that way (either through planning or no plan) If a person is smart and considered not smart the assumption of the young is that it's them and not the system.

I am now 60 years old and have watched how the system is gamed and innocent and ignorant people die for the rich and powerful socialpaths. Also, I see how wealth is extorted from the masses with fake crashes in the economy every so many years as well as fake wars and fake news by the main stream media. Being liberal should mean being tolerant and unbiast.
Good article.

I recommend reading the book, The Fourth Turning.
