I think "of average intelligence". All the intelligent people are smart enough to withdraw their minds from society.
The rest of us get triggered by seeing common sense ignored. Makes us feel smarter than we are.
Such a waste of a good resource. You can contribute positively to society instead. I volunteer with a group that supports low-wage workers. Call it a "drop in the bucket" if you want, but actually meeting community members who are suffering and providing them with tangible help is far better than sequestering one's self away from society.
As someone that does plenty for the community, environment, and disaster services—the things I know I'm best at—I don't see what that has to do with withdrawing from society with the mind.
I'd rather protect my mental wellbeing so that I don't become jaded from the day in and day out of society, lest I go the way of so many others, doomscrolled into a state of apathy or even spite toward society. No one's ever lifted a finger for something they're mentally done with.
So I don't really understand your point on two levels, but I think it was worth mentioning that for anyone else. We all operate differently and if it works for us, it works for those around us 👍
