The Most [I'm]portant One

The most important relationship I have is with myself. It wouldn’t appear to have always been this way, but in actuality it has. I have grown intellectually from birth, and have an excellent long term memory. I am always seeking to get smarter, to learn more. During this process, I decided that learning something and knowing to myself that I know it was more valuable than learning it and having to demonstrate that I know it. Also, it is much more efficient to learn it without all sorts of tedious piles of homework and unnecessary blabber. There are two components to the union of myself, the social aspect and the cerebral portion. The analytical section is the one that dominates all else. It sets the standard for the social sector in the amalgamation of me. Influentially, the rational segment has caused me to stride away from what most people would call a sense of normalcy. My sense of typicality is derived from logical processes in my mind, resulting in the behaviors and situational confrontations I become entangled in for most of the waking hours. This almost always leads me to trouble with the authority, for I openly feel that things need to change. The system is built wrong; it was built by incompetents and know-littles. I propose a shift in the balance of power, but in suggesting such an idea on an all-encompassing basis, I would be quickly subdued by the media and masses of brainless slugs who watch their brainwashing screen nightly, as if they feed off its lies for sustenance. The shift should be giving power to people whose intellectual aspect dominates over their social, but since this particular kind of person is extremely difficult to find, it would almost instantaneously progress into an oligarchy of the philosophers, something in proportion to Plato’s ideal Republic but not nearly as arrogant and one-minded. This is possible, highly improbable, but I would gladly give up my community positions and diminish the social sector to a minimum to be incorporated into such a system.
