I can empathize with Bernardo. I am over 70 and can count on the fingers of one hand how many others I have met who understood what I was saying, or had the patience and openness to find out. And I think it is true that, ultimately, we must provide our own reassurance. I thought I heard in what he was saying that, while he accepts there are others who equal or surpass him in intellect, he finds that they think or believe wrongly and do not question their entrenchment, and thus they cannot provide a source of reassurance for him, specifically in the field of analytic ontology.

I hope this is not a case of Groucho Marx Syndrome: “I wouldn’t join any club that would have me as a member.” 😊
When one talks of high intelligence or high intellect or high creativity, the first thing to dismiss is the IQ test, as it tests only one or two aspects of a specialized mind.

Being aware of other non-awareness, being aware of what make people vibrate while I find this totally senseless and totally rubish most of the time is my main pain In Life. Dunno how to escape this….I simple can’t and have to accept it.

Those people study for effing years to know absolute reams of specific facts and interlocking systems about ecology to work with plants and improve. Ascribing emotional and spiritual value to that is fine but not if you just act like the cognitive work and effort put in to gain that shit isn't literally the same as anyone else who studies any other field in depth and instead mysticalizing it only
