the Savants* and the Normal Person* – Insiders and Outsiders

The difference between the Savants* and the Normal Person* is that the Savants* view themselves as insiders – even if the smallest unit they control is 1, themselves, they are already INSIDE. They have a strong sense of who they are and what they like, and who they’d associate with given enough of a choice. The Normal Person* are outsiders. They focus on everybody who doesn’t like them, and therefore, even if they are a part of a large group, they view that group as “having been excluded or denied an entry to X”. If you reject someone who resembles the Normal Person* individual, they feel they, too have been rejected. They are outsiders even if they were in the innermost circle of celebrities or Royals, and you can NEVER truly satisfy them by accepting them into any group because their feeling of being excluded is completely internal.

the Normal Person* will go through some emotional battles and then they decide they’re “good enough”

the Normal Person*’s first great revelation in life comes in the form of “being good enough”. Whatever their standard, they will decide that they are good enough. And as it is a question of the Normal Person*, they mean “I am good enough to be befriended”… By anyone. They feel they’ve received the biggest answer the Universe could possibly offer, and they go on into a state where they will try and solve everyone else’s problems by declaring “you’re good enough too, you don’t have to try so hard to be liked”…

But what is wrong with this, is that even if you’re good enough for a human being, and a member of the general society, you may not be good enough for X, Y, or Z. But the Normal Person* will always try to insist that since THEY THEMSELVES consider themselves GOOD ENOUGH, YOU TOO have an obligation to agree, and to interact with them, give them jobs, opportunities, screen time, stage time, and your personal friendship and a hand in marriage if you’re single.

The moment you decide you’re good enough is the moment you stop growing

And the moment you decide you’re a good person (by definition), you stop being one. The reason? Nobody here is good enough once time moves on a little and you face new challenges. Nobody here is a good person ALL THE TIME. But if you think you are, you stop monitoring yourself. You will stop trying to grow. You will STOP and STAGNATE.

And while that is your prerogative, others don’t have to agree you’re good enough or that you don’t need to be a better person than what you currently are.

the Normal Person* may react to you with hostility or disapproval if you think you can tell them they’re not up to YOUR standards

Mind you, most of the time, the Normal Person* outnumber the Savants* in a public conversation. The Savants* are less interested in mass hysteria than the Normal Person* and are likely to step away from a conversation they are not in the middle of. As the Normal Person* do not argue with logic and facts, but emotion and self-entitlement, they usually win these arguments with brute force alone. Therefore, they feel CONFIDENT about their winning odds whenever they are faced with a controversial argument.

the Normal Person* fight with numbers, volume (loud noise), persistence, and sometimes very questionably quoted facts. The Savants* try to reason with them, but since fighting stupid is relatively difficult, the Savants* usually backs down from a fight with a “whatever. Believe what you wish. I’m out.” This is not where the Savants* changes their mind, but repeat the same enough of times, they will start to doubt themselves and their own sanity and ability to reason… Thus, we have a situation where blind is leading the seeing.
