Which quotation best supports the inference that the narrator is extremely intelligent?

The narrator’s comparison of Hobbes to Rousseau shows familiarity with two major political philosophers and the ability to make an abstract connection between their ideas. That intellectual reference best supports the inference that the narrator is extremely intelligent. The other quotations describe difficulty communicating, deny a narrow identity, or suggest a complicated past without demonstrating intelligence as clearly.
