Its weird to acknowldege that I use Machiavellianism daily, as my own survival to preserve my knowledge. If I act like some Kantian (in a sense of the categorical imperative, pls dont attack for misinterpreting Kant) I'll live blissfully. And I wouldn't make impacts in the masses bec thats what my knowledge is for. But it does feel nice to be God-honoring, family aligned, academic weapon guy. A kind of bittersweet alternate reality.

People really don't like it when your answer to "How would you explain colour to a blind person?" involves electrodes and potentially invasive optic nerve surgery

They, ironically, don't understand my vision

‘… There is a formal culture of suffering. Today in almost all of Europe there is a pathological susceptibility and sensitivity to pain; as well as a nasty lack of restraint to complaining or mollycoddling, which likes to dress itself up with religion and philosophical bits and pieces as something loftier — there exists a downright cult of suffering. We must excommunicate this latest form of bad taste, powerfully and thoroughly; and finally we must cultivate and set around our necks like a good amulet ‘gai saber’ to ward it off and make the matter plain — the conviction akin to something resembling a science of gaiety.’

— Friedrich Nietzsche, from Beyond Good and Evil, entry 293.
