the Normal Person* may appear stupid because their objectives are different to that of the Savants*.

the Normal Person* are not afraid to ask questions, even when they already know the answer… Over and over. They know that may appear stupid, but they do it anyway. The reason for this is, that to them, gaining ATTENTION is what rocks their world. Having the largest social circle, having a family, and a job of some description – a social standing, as they call it – is what makes them feel smart. Somehow, they feel the whole world is against them: they are denied attention, therefore, they think they are smarter than anyone who doesn’t get the same amount of attention and care as they do.

They think they’re very clever manipulating a teacher to teach them, a mother to love them, and a police officer to police them.

the Normal Person* are good at manipulating people into relationships with them, gotta give them that.

What the Normal Person* ARE crafty at, is appearing needy. They will manipulate your feelings so that you will put all of your attention to them and only them. This is why becoming polyamorous will make you less vulnerable to them, but also a target: now having a boyfriend/girlfriend no longer means THEY are not allowed to seek your attention and care, too. With polygynandrists, this may turn into too much work to try and keep your attention levels high while there are as many men as there are women in the same relationship, but they might think that if they can become the second girl in a polyandrous relationship or the second guy to polygynists – and their attempts will obviously garner them attention, because stupid people, who don’t understand what “polyandry” or “polygyny”, or “gay”, means… (If you don’t let’s fix that immediately: polyandry is a +MFM+ form of polygamy, polygyny is a +FMF+ form of polygamy, and polygynandry forms as +MFMF+.)

They don’t go for respect, love, or admiration, all they want is attention.

the Normal Person* want to push where they get attention. They think attention is the currency, not knowledge or information; they think getting teachers’ attention is the win, not good grades. They think manipulating their mom or dad to give them more attention than to their sister or brother is the win. (In your next lifetime; If you want to be a teenager who gets to do whatever you want, you’ll want the Normal Person*ame-gender sibling to keep your parents busy when you can go under the radar. Compete over their attention just enough to egg the Normal Person*ibling to try harder… Let the Normal Person*child “win” by moving out early and having them take care of your parents… Win-win-win.)

When you play people, understand that the Normal Person* are always after attention first, everything else second. Everything in their life has only one purpose: get them attention. They think you’re losing when you can’t get attention. (And sure, on social media and search engines it is true: it’s hard to win if nobody knows you exist… but… You know.) the Normal Person* will also think they’re winning when they’re STEALING attention from someone noteworthy, like a celebrity or a politician, and they don’t mind appearing stupid to get it. They are the mosquito in the room that gets all of your attention, and they truly think that makes them smarter than you.

Teacher “likes me” more…?

the Normal Person* don’t realize that while they are busy asking the same question 10 times – “oh, those the Savants* don’t realize that the teacher will answer the same question as many times as you ask it, and you don’t HAVE TO come up with new questions all the time” – they are educating others around them. The Savants* don’t like asking questions because it alerts the teacher to the fact they weren’t paying attention or didn’t understand perfectly sufficient information – that they weren’t paying attention during the last class, but the Normal Person* don’t have this problem. Therefore, their neediness for attention actually benefits the Savants* who is not going for attention but is going for good grades.

the Normal Person* will gladly trade respect and love for attention.

Cancel culture. The Normal Person*’ takeover.

the Normal Person* may signal to you, that you’re not paying enough attention to them (and they’re hurt) by telling you quite literally that “you stink” or do something else cancel-worthy. The whole woke feminist cancel culture is largely taken over by the Normal Person* begging for attention, rather than something worth paying real attention to.

the Normal Person* may also threaten or actually self-harm or commit crimes if they feel that’s the last resort to get your attention.

Sadly, begging for attention does pay off.

When someone is pestering you for attention, job, and opportunity, a chance, you’re quite likely to eventually cave in. The thing is, the Normal Person* see this as RESPECT given to them for their relentlessness, not charity that you finally give them because they’re desperate. The Normal Person* are never satisfied with THE THING itself, what they were asking for, they’ll beg for commitment and if you don’t pay attention to them they cheat on you just so you’ll pay attention to them again. They beg for a job and then refuse to do it if you don’t pay them with attention.

This is why you might NOT want to consider it a positive that a job applicant is willing to humiliate themselves for a job. The only place where this is a necessary skill is direct-contact sales, and that WILL turn off the Savants* customers. Applicants like this don’t, generally speaking, make any easier workers than what they are as job applicants.

To get attention, you must give attention.

the Normal Person* don’t realize that when they ask for attention, they give attention; they pay attention, and everybody loves attention. It’s just that attention from a high-attention-gaining individual is more valuable than the attention of a person who themselves has to FIGHT for attention. We prefer the attention of people who are busy being the center of others’ attention without them having to do much to get that attention. Celebrities turn up, and all eyes are on them, but they, themselves can only look at one person at a time; therefore their attention is worth as much as everybody else’s combined… And THIS is where the Savants* tend to get interested when the attention value is multifold. At the same time, they make a difference in HOW the attention was gained; by making noise (low priority) or by being engaging, smart, beautiful, and beguiling to the celebrity (or such), which is high-value attention.

the Normal Person* also think EVERYBODY values attention the same way as they do, therefore they think the Savants* are stupid for giving them that attention. Like they managed to manipulate a teacher to teach, and a tweeter to tweet, and an empath to care… A fish to swim. It would be harder to manipulate them not to do it, but hey.

Social media is the only time in history when we all fight at the same level over the same thing, but the Normal Person* are far more capable of going for the initial low-value attention. That’s why most successful social media accounts are vacuous and not very intellectual. They’re run by attention-seeking the Normal Person* who are born to do it.

This same dynamic will most likely last for a lifetime, and there’ll always be the Normal Person* willing to do the dirty work if it gets them attention… It’s cheap currency.
