I'm a highly intelligent person and I'm a cool social cat.

>Shortly after Pound arrived in London in the early twentieth century, Ford Madox Ford described the young poet's clothes: he 'had trousers made of green billiard cloth, a pink coat, a blue shirt, a tie hand-painted by a Japanese friend and an immense sombrero.

>During World War II, he was paid by the Italian government to make hundreds of radio broadcasts criticizing the United States, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Jews, as a result of which he was arrested in 1945 by American forces in Italy on charges of treason. He spent months in detention in a U.S. military camp in Pisa, including three weeks in a 6-by-6-foot (1.8 by 1.8 m) outdoor steel cage, which he said triggered a mental breakdown: "when the raft broke and the waters went over me". The following year he was deemed unfit to stand trial, and incarcerated in St. Elizabeths psychiatric hospital in Washington, D.C., for over 12 years.[3]
I don't think this guy is a great example of a "highly intelligent person."

A bunch of writers including TS Eliot and Frost had to petition the government to let his dumbass out of the bughouse. Wearing flashy colors doesn't make you a socially apt conversationalist, it makes you an attention whoring asshole who swallows up collective time and holds everyone hostage with what you think is important - in this case, Japanese ties, dope-ass greens, and strawhats.
