Jew mass in early November 2015, making statement that they don't support Israel in Washington DC

I once read that we live in an extrovert world; introverts (the real ones, not those self-claimed ones) stay as a minority because, in the past, they were unable to find mates and have offspring. In a “warm” collectivist country such as Indonesia, being alone, wandering, and just sitting down and contemplating looks miserable, and we’re unable to have friends. And maybe this creates a belief (that I resent so much) that the smartest people are lonely, brilliant people are unable to communicate, and most autistic people are geniuses. That, in a way, conceives a comfort zone for intelligent people to stay away from the radar, to not try to befriend other people from other bubbles, and in the long run, to make science far away from non-science circles.

This perspective often gives me a situation where I keep questioning why people are so afraid to befriend people from outer circles? Though I could find the answer easily (the older we are, the lazier we want to adapt to new communities and rules), I find this question intriguing. Some people I observe are afraid that other people would misunderstand them, and some others are afraid that they need to explain things in conversation to new people. But I think one key possible answer is that we’re afraid that strangers would see our minds as dangerous because we form different realities based on life experience and where we live one to another.

One example is the life story of Bobby Fischer, a chess prodigy whose controversial statements and acts during his lifetime. Though he came from a Jewish background, he had this kind of antisemitism perspective and expressed his hatred views towards Jews and the United States in public. That was when his career started to sink, and he had to live as émigré. I personally think his mistake is one: he let out his hatred to the public, and some of the subjects of his hatred were living hard and trying to be accepted in the community.

I don’t think that all introverts are geniuses because I’ve seen ones without remarkable opinions. But I do think that lots of people who prefer to be alone hold one dangerous opinion in their mind; that they are able (and should) keep for themselves. These private individuals have a lot of time alone to think and communicate with themselves, creating original but oftentimes difficult ideas to be accepted by others. The difference with the extrovert is that most extroverts are highly skilled in communication because they are often in crowds, so they really know how to communicate their critical ideas.

We all do have dangerous ideas in our minds. I know we all do. Mine is when people put their belongings in public places without calculating their own house's carrying capacity limit. I have another dangerous opinion about how all the mess that we have on the Earth is caused by one single problem; the growing human population, and that shapes me to have negative thoughts towards people whose children are more than they can feed. Of course, I have other dangerous thoughts that are kept in my mind this whole time; and I would never reveal to the public. In psychology, a thought is a thought, and when you make it stays in your mind. We differ in the domains of Cognitive, Affective, and Psychomotor because it is only you that is able to keep your dangerous ideas as ideas. You are the only one that allows your dangerous thoughts to interfere with your emotion, finding you a motivation to do something that corroborates the thoughts and changes into action. But when things go uncontrolled, of course, a support system would help. I think this is why it is so important to have a rational life partner who really understands how your brain works because they will accept your opinion and prevent you from doing anything stupid because of those thoughts. In my case, I am lucky enough to find one.

So, what are your dangerous thoughts?
