The messiah

I was feeling keenly this morning my separation from humanity.  I was broken at an early age, and recovered as well as I could, but am only now beginning to feel what was lost.

And what I see is if your social brain is off-line, if you find authentic and meaningful connection with others difficult, then the overwhelming tendency is to feel either superior or inferior.  If you feel superior, you become a messiah.  You become the completely certain person who tells others what to do.  You feel confident, because there is no loop with others which would induce doubt.

The alternative is to feel inferior.  This breeds anger and resentment.  Such people become criminals.

Both are, though, of a kind.  This is what I see this morning. 

Corollary: all Leftists, all TRUE Leftists, as opposed to the thoughtless lemmings who merely repeat uncritically what they are told to say, are aspiring Messiahs.  They want to choreograph dances which began long before they showed up, which they don’t understand, and cannot participate in.
