This reads like the Morty speech in Rick and Morty when the good parts of Morty go off and become a stock broker.

I feel like the only thing you are actually good at is working by yourself because participating in a society seems far too difficult for you.

we live in a society

Society, noun: A clique of people using arbitrary compliance tests and popularity contests like teenagers to create a virtual hierarchy.

People further up the top of the hierarchy take the economic output of the ever decreasing number of work horses while contributing nothing but talk.

This emergent phenomenon is pretty much hard-coded in humans. Vide: the entire human history. Confer: multiple social experiments of building "the perfect society".

Each animal can be said to posses a survival strategy; ours resides not in talons, or rapid flight, or keen perception, or camouflage, but in cooperation. Even the hierarchical structure of our social organization aids in this.

It is a humble observation, even if it was difficult for me to appreciate for such a long time.

Sure. But if your are actually as flippant as this response indicates then why make it. Certainly why make it on the internet whose only goal is to provide more efficient societal connections.
