After the Egyptian cultural elite ejected me from their social/cultural circles, i was in a manner of speaking, handed over to (i.e. left to deal with only) mainstream Egyptians, who in their utter conservatism, bigotry and darkness, also shunned, ignored and maligned me, then handed me over to the bottom of the basket, the menial - migrants of rural or ("randomness") shanty towns origin - classes where a total and complete darkness of mind reigns supreme . Already, dealing with the mainstream Egyptians most of whom are vain, conceited, obscurantist, anti-intellectual, stuffy, pompous, pretentious, hypocritical, and tyrannical
is so
oppressive, suffocating, and utterly harmful
that one has to walk on eggshells and engage in
silence, mediocrity and hypocrisy just to get by. Dealing with the "unwashed masses" is a whole 'nother ballgame. It is where reason or logic, utility or brightness truly cease to be of any relevance, let alone use, and completely break down and utterly fail.
so, one is thrice made a social exile.
