Intellectuality, Academia and Scholars

All the layers that one chooses to wear, to protect our fragile egos and true nature.
There are other layers that we think are part of us, reality is that we think they are part of us.
We sometimes come out in true form under the influence of chemicals, sometimes under the influence of others but it is always short lived and discarded because it was under the influence.
Let me now add a not-so-new kind of influence.

The Internet

The one that allows us to hide under a thicker layer, in addition to all of the ones we already wear.
I will start with an observation of self, of course bias is inevitable, but nevertheless I will try.

I am uneducated.
I am selfish (self loving)
I think I am pretty smart
I use the I a lot (I try not to)
I spend a lot of time on the Internet
I do not how to speak English too well, therefore can not "write" (it is my second language)
I will let you add on your perceptions to this post with your comments.

Now I will go on my observations of what I see on an almost daily basis on Internet country.

False personalities.
Failed attempts to fit in.
Fears of revealing our true nature.
Shifting ideals and false beliefs being dictated by peer pressures that actually do not exist.
Clicks, Alliances and Guerrillas that mob onto individuals that dare to present them wearing very few layers or none at all.

Allow me stop for now and say this:

There is something to be learned and studied about human behavior here. I have learned so many things since starting to blog; they are all good things because they are a new form of human expression, the most anonymous and manipulative of them all.

As for layers, I am not wearing one when I come here. Intellectuality, Academia and Scholars
will certainly know that, when they see all the mistakes I make when trying to convey my thoughts to the written word. I choose not to wear layers here, and here only, because in the reality of the Internet nation it is ok to be out in the rain and get wet. I have been caught in many storms out here in the physical world, the layers always fall as I run looking for shelter and even though getting wet is sometimes extremely unpleasant, I can deal with it.

I just wrote what went through my mind while I was reading blogs.
