And how does one do that? Maybe Imalready am.
I'm living it somewhat. That means
>no job because I'm not good at hiding that I'm indifferent and eccentric
>no social circle
>the few "friends" I have are everything but intellectual, are very conform to idiotic social graces and conventions
>my family is unsupportive, vile and dumb as dogshit
If you're intellectual, that may sound good on paper, but if you aren't a grade A actor/actress pretending to be your average Joe, heh, then good luck man, good luck on not killing yourself in the end.
I found a good thread on Quora, explaining why intellectuals are universally hated and why they need to pretend to be normal and stupider than they actually are: https://www.quora.com/Why-do-some-people-dislike-smart-people

Lol there's actually book with such an unashamedly literal title? I just might have to buy it.
Sounds like something a bugman with head up his ass would write and read???
I'm not smart enough to ever be a true intellectual.
