This itself is a rather clever "tactic" (comparing something to anti-semitism, arguably the most powerful psychological phenomenon on planet Earth, and then allowing readers to form their own conclusions about the initial proposition...and, human minds have been thoroughly trained on how to "correctly" respond to "anti-semitism"), though I do not necessarily think you are doing it with conscious intent.

Well, that depends on whether one is "measuring" on a relative or absolute scale, and a subjective or objective one....and also: whether one is able to think in these higher dimensions, that are all around us (and inside us) all the time.

Take HN for example: on a relative scale, this is a highly intellectual forum. But on an absolute scale, I wonder how impressive it is.
