Could someone enlighten me what this is about and what is the context because while I can understand the point he seems to be trying to make (just make it happen) I have no idea who he is and what that was written for...

Oh and: he equals being "only" middle class with being a "joker" who hasn't risen to their potential but the wealthy people are the not-jokers and the ones to admire? Seriously??

> 99% of people you interact with in life are fucking jokers.

99% of all humans think that 99% of people are jokers, idiots or just dumb... very trustworthy figure.



> what is the context

The context is someone with a severe mental illness (bipolar disorder) going through a phase of mania.

Here are some links to information:

> When I'm in a manic phase, I feel as though I am capable of anything and everything. This can be an amazing feeling, but I sometimes get frustrated and angry with people. Ideas flow constantly and quickly, as if my brain is on fast-forward. Everything happening in the world has significance in my life.

Well, this fits in with my own armchair-psychological evaluations of OP...
