:) May I quote from Plato?
"The vast majority of people are appetitive. That does not mean that their appetites are ungoverned by reason and spirit, but that reason and spirit are in them primarily oriented, not toward the pursuit of wisdom and honor for their own sakes, but rather toward the pursuit of food and drink, property, marriage and family, and material goods in general. They make up the productive class in Plato’s city: farmers, merchants, laborers, and so on. A much smaller group is primarily spirited, oriented by temperament to the pursuit of honor and justice. These make up the auxiliary class, which comprise the military and police in Plato’s ideal city. The smallest and ruling class are the philosopher-kings, in whom reason dominates so thoroughly that pursuit of the true and the good for their own sakes is their basic orientation."
I would be classified as a philosopher-king. And if you have read my 'about' section, it is highly unlikely that I could be the writer I am, if I was the shallow, ignorant person you purport me to be.
Consider that you wouldn't be triggered by what I said if you were comfortable that it was untrue.
