Naturally, as human intelligence contracts, my engagement with humanity also contracts.

Yes, then you will be a neckbeard coder mumbling to themselves in the corner when not yelling at the tv/internet.

Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight, And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way, Do not go gentle into that good night. Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Nice poem. What you got wrong is that while my engagement with humanity generally contracts, I put increasing effort into finding the tiny remnant of humanity that isn't moronic scum and working with them to build an alternative to mainstream humanity.
