Why are you excluding all the other possibilities?
When someone is loudly complaining about how stupid, short-sighted and ignorant most people are it can indeed be a result of him having a superiority complex and his desire to show off how much more he is worth than the rest.
But it could also be due to the fact that he is genuinely disturbed by the empirical fact he is stating and its consequences, which in this case are as serious as it can get

if by fairly intelligent you mean being able to memorize everything you read then yes. One can have a complex that will make them dedicate so much effort to a purpose.
But it would be the effort invested into the process of memorization that made one become a robot and not the complex.
In fact, the complex is nothing more but a lacking from within that one feels the need to over-compensate for.
its very much like a guy with a complex that makes them racist towards their own kind. His complex is really a lacking of self acceptance of who he is, and so in order to deal with the lacking he will identify his self-hatefulness with "them" .

This is circular talk. On one hand you say it's very foolish to do A then you say doing A will make you better off in certain situations than someone else. Then you say the meaningful thing is to do is B but that it isn't going to happen if all people think about is how to survive in the short run.
Question: When did the OP state or imply that he was investing in gold/silver to protect himself from societal breakdown/economic collapse? The way I see it is he got bit by the Ron Paul bug, couldn't invest at the time and now has the ability to do so and is asking questions.
The OP is POWERLESS in doing B or making a substantial contribution to it because he is not a policy maker, does not have the resources to make a change, etc. However, the OP does have POWER to do A, and to be honest, if we were to take post regarding evolution as a standard, A is what he should be doing. Why? Because it is SELF-PRESERVATION. You can argue what self-preservation means to you and if you think it means preserving the human species or society as a whole, so be it.
