This is symptomatic of the vindictive manner in which those who feel threatened by the presence of a superior intellect will attack anyone whose insights threaten either their personal standing or the status quo in general. In a strangely similar way to that in which Copernicus was hounded to his death by the Catholic Church for asserting a model of the Solar System which was in disagreement with the Geocentric beliefs of the clerical oligarchy of the time, I saw a youth attempting to break into a car yesterday and attempted to explain to him that this mode of life would lead to a lower quantity of overall happiness than would be the case should he devote his spare time to the study of metaphysics. I demonstrated this with a series of graphs and flawless argument, whereupon he called me a bleep and kneed my in the bollocks. This is the cruel and unchanging nature of the human psyche, for underneath the facade of civility we are little removed from the basest beasts.

My ancestors ran naked in the woods up til about 150 years ago what do you expect from us.

well...what do you expect from a young person trying to break into a car? they probably don't even know what metaphysics is and couldn't really care about you. he's just being defensive. he's trying to commit a crime, everyone would be edgy. especially if you tried to convince them to a happier way of life. at the moment, that's not on his mind.

Funny! You might have even sparked another sense of anger/stress within him so he might have just committed another crime because of you.
