I am a genius, or maybe even the Messiah
I have created a new socio-economic system that will make a paradise on earth. I have been promoting my system for 12 years; however, science has not recognized it. The next possible step in promoting the system is to present me as a genius or maybe even a Messiah. Anyone who has read my writing can say I may be a candidate for those titles.
The problem is that nobody, except me, can determine if I am more than a candidate because nobody, except me, can see the outcome of the system I have proposed. But if my system saves the world one day, then one may agree that I am not understood as a genius or maybe even a Messiah; if not, then I am most likely stupid or crazy. It's not possible to prove what will happen in the future; therefore, I will present arguments to show that I am neither stupid nor crazy.
What makes me special is my independence. I haven't been able to accept any idea I didn't feel was logical and correct. It was never really a conscious decision; it was something built in me. Some would call it laziness. I never had any interest in school, and as a result, I was among the worst students in every grade and class. I tried many times to be a good student, but I couldn't. Being a lousy student wasn't pleasant at all, but it gave me advantages ordinary people don't have. By refusing to accept imposed knowledge at school, I did not load my brain with alien ideas; I saved the freedom of my thoughts, my natural instincts, perception and senses, which enabled me to feel the right direction.
On the other hand, when I loved doing something, I invested enormous energy in it. That is how I significantly trained my logic and intelligence. That is how I developed the ability to create “miracles” wherever I find an interest.
The biggest recognized “miracle” happened when I won the Yugoslav Architectural Competition for the arrangement of the main square in Zagreb, Croatia. At that time, I was just a bad student in the 3rd year of faculty. The competition was highly attractive, and the best architects in Yugoslavia, including my professors, took part. My victory was, therefore, a great sensation. Being a lousy student of architecture and, at the same time, winning the Yugoslav architectural competition makes it sound like I have genius potential. Haven’t I?
If I had stayed in architecture, that would probably be easier to see today. But there is no pity here at all. There is not much space for improvement in architecture, but philosophy, which I am discussing, is a vast empty space, practically a “vacuum” today. Besides that, philosophy interests me much more than architecture, and therefore, I have created a great job there, incomparably better than I was able to do in architecture. The only problem is that people cannot see that. I’ll try to illustrate it with an example: if an ordinary person today sees a mountain of gold, he would run to take as much as he can. Well, I have to tell you that my book is far more valuable than a mountain of gold because it can bring a much better life, but nobody sees that. It is only about the perception of where real values are.
All my life, my nature has pushed me against the streams society accepts. It made me different from other people, and that wasn't easy. I had to resist troubles everywhere. That developed my knowledge and strength to run against the stream, and finally, the results showed I was right.
That made me confident enough to present myself as a genius. One may say a genius is not far from craziness, but winning the architectural competition requires a well-developed perception and rationality that excludes craziness. Three professors from Belgrade University reviewed my book and confirmed, simply by writing it, that I am neither stupid nor crazy. All of that should at least make people curious when I say the system I have proposed will change the world and make it a beautiful place to be.
Now comes a tricky question: Am I the Messiah with a big “M,” the one from religion? A year ago, to attract more attention to my work, I applied for the Jesus Christ work position in the article here: Am I Jesus Christ?
In my opinion, I’ve excellently fulfilled the requirements that Jesus Christ is supposed to do on planet Earth. For example, I have explained how a social good can quickly and permanently defeat social evil, something the entire history of humankind has unsuccessfully tried to learn. My book “The Humanism” will save the world, and according to the Bible, Jesus Christ achieves that.
But I’ve failed to learn about another world. I would be thrilled if God told me, "Son, let’s have a beer; I have something essential to tell you,” because that would make me a Messiah and give me direct power to change the world. Unfortunately, I have never seen or heard God, or I might just not be aware of it. That is probably the reason I have not convinced anybody to discuss the possibility of my being Jesus.
And then again, it made my chances of being Him even less possible because, according to the prophecy, when Jesus returns to Earth, He is supposed to be recognized quickly everywhere. On the other hand, what would happen if Jesus Christ came after my book “The Humanism” changed the world and made it Paradise on Earth? Can He say then: “Sorry I’m late, traffic was terrible, but I would do the same as Šarović did?” Well, in that case, He would be late because the bright future of humankind, which He is supposed to define, is already presented in my book. And why would He ever come when I have finished the job for Him?
But there are more problems here. Muslims wait for the same Jesus Christ, but He is a prophet, not God. Jews wait for the Messiah, who is not Jesus Christ but has the same mission as Jesus Christ. Hindus wait for the reincarnation of Krishna; Buddhists wait for the reincarnation of Buddha, who has different methods than Jesus Christ to achieve similar goals. Who is right here and who is wrong? I claim that my philosophy will fulfill the secular purposes of the mentioned saviours. That means I may be one of these saviours, but I might also be neither. In any case, I am Aleksandar, a man who will undoubtedly change the world and make it a beautiful place to be.
