Let’s break down the psychology of it.

When you really truly think you are smarter than the room (any room) but not only do you think you don’t get recognized for it, you were rebuffed and torn apart by the political system you have invested in for so long, then you look for a way to express your grand thoughts.

It’s not good enough to have a twitter and support others who you agree with. In fact, you fear the backlash that will inevitably occur whenever you take a position. It’s going to come from at least one camp, if not many. Anonymity is a strange irony. It gives you the pleasure of being able to freely express yourself and even lash out without personally owning the causality of those expressions, but it is frustrating in that your narcissism is not stroked and people do not get to recognize you for the genius that you think you are.

It gives you the pleasure of being able to freely express yourself and even lash out without personally owning the causality of those expressions, but it is frustrating in that your narcissism is not stroked and people do not get to recognize you for the genius that you think you are.

Which is exactly what led to the downfall of the Unabomber.

I for one have always thought that Mitt is a smart guy. Were he not, he would not be where he is today, and prosperous enough to shop for a residence where he can stand a good chance of getting elected senator.

But after reading of his internet pseudonym, and of his love of posting anonymously, I am wondering if Mitt has a legitimate claim of being a stable genius.
