As the Savants* think for themselves, and the Normal Person* want to behave in ways that make them popular and well-liked, when strong the Savants* thinking ideals arise within a group of friends or people, the Normal Person* stand to make serious errors in judgement because they do not know their own intellectual limitations. This is important to know, even though this sounds… Mean.

the Normal Person*, by definition, are people who are persuaded by popular opinion and seeking of popularity among the people they live (physically) close to.  the Savants* seek admiration of masses because their pursuits are intellectual and skill based; the better you are, the more people should be able to recognize your talent, while the Normal Person* simply want to be loved and liked by the people near them. This creates a very different way of thinking about such things as physical danger.

the Savants* are wild. They love taking risks, and pushing themselves to the limit. They seek ways to challenge themselves and to push the bar higher for others of their own kind. The Normal Person* just want to fit in. So, if there’s a group of the Savants* who are all into something dangerous like, say, parkour or skate boarding, and among them, the Normal Person* who doesn’t quite see the point of their obsession, the Normal Person* is in danger of trying too hard to impress others by jumps way too dangerous for their own skill level. Their ability to self-evaluate and to stand against peer pressure is very low. If others clear a jump, they will have to do it, too, whether their abilities are up to scratch or not, and this might land them into a hospital.

Once they notice, that the craziest guy in the group gets all the accolades, the Normal Person* in the group may attempt to clear a distance that only the best guy in the group can do, just to prove that they, too, are worthy of the accolades and a real member of the group.

In an emotional sense, this same behavior turns into sexual bravado, huge romantic gestures when the emotions are really not there, and the like. One upping is much the Normal Person* idea, and if a Savants* is into… say, casual sex, and they have a strongly the Normal Person* friend, the Normal Person* will attempt to mimic the behavior of the Savants*, trying to get laid as much as possible, to impress the Savants*, who, in turn, thinks nothing about the Normal Person*’s accomplishments, because most likely they are choosing the wrong partners and going for numbers over connection or… quality of the experience.  The Normal Person* may be frustrated, too, because they will rake up higher numbers than the Savants*, who is still rather unimpressed, while the Normal Person* has no idea why. The Normal Person* can barely see the difference of beauty or handsome looks, to them, a conquest is a conquest, but the Savants* will silently grin at their enthusiasm to… pardon my language, fuck everything with a pulse.

the Savants* will also be unimpressed by people who try to conform or to mimic or copy other people. They will appreciate someone taking what you do, and making it better, crazier, or their own thing, again confusing the Normal Person* who thinks the Savants* is changing the rules on the fly, or that their admiration is withheld due to jealousy and their constant “changing of rules” is just their way to beat them in the game.

The Normal Person* also believes that anything that one person can do should be transferable information to themselves or other the Normal Person*: You are a human, I am a human, therefore, we can both do what you do. Do you know the person who is constantly begging you to e explain to them what it is that you are doing? Yes, the Normal Person*. Computer professionals are particularly familiar with them, the person constantly watching over their shoulder demanding information on how to make the computer do the tricks that the professional can make it do. “I studied this for 10 years” is no explanation… “But you know how to do it, just teach me.” On the other hand, if a Savants* professional shows a few tricks on the computer or on the guitar or the sound board or cutting table, and finishes it off with “and that’s it!” a strongly the Normal Person* may think they now know everything there is to know about the profession. (Ed Woods.) This is a risk in the sense that this person may now be under full illusion that they are as good as the person who showed them how, and should now be paid the same salary if they start a company of their own doing the same thing. With a risk of gaining a lot of anger: Women behave like this with men… “I have the same education, therefore I demand the same pay.” The fact is, men have more soul experience in certain line of work, and they are therefore better at stuff women are only now starting to learn. Women have trouble seeing the difference in skill, because women are socially conditioned to be likable rather than skilled and professional; competing is a masculine trait, and as it is, men are hard-wired to seek for differences in skill level, something that women are still largely ignoring.

Once a person is under the illusion that they are as good as the next person, and through political correctness we enforce this illusion on a daily basis, they may drive themselves to a lot of trouble trying to achieve the same thing as people who are genuinely more skilled and experienced at any given pursuit. If nothing else, there is the risk of being a laughing stock of a whole lot of people, and not knowing why.

What the Normal Person* need to know

If you do not understand why someone is doing what they are doing, it is unwise and dangerous for you to attempt to do the same thing, no matter what it is. Only do stuff you know how to do and why you are doing it. To gain friends or to be liked is a terrible reason for doing things that will put you at risk and perhaps gain you more haters than friends.

What the Savants* need to know

Be on alert of any the Normal Person* around you when you model a behavior that is potentially risky. Do not make close friends with the Normal Person* if you are a bit wild. They are impressionable to very old age. The best thing you can do for the Normal Person* to ensure they have safe people around them, and someone to love and care for them. There is a lot of balancing to do near the Normal Person*, and failing the balance maybe dangerous for your both – you mostly on the emotional level (that may push you to depression and suicide when out of your control), for them, simply doing silly things to impress you, in some cases putting themselves to a physical risk.
