    I actively envy the stupid. Every day.

    Imagine how life must be when your greatest concern is Disney or some social media drama. These people just float through the day entirely unbothered by the myriad of existential crises that are stalking them like prey.

    They’re aggressively wrong about so many things. And absolutely iron clad confident in their wrongness.

      They are not stupid. They are weak, or overwhelmed, so they gave in to the people that told them that they made no mistake, that they are disadvantaged and that other people are to blame for their problems. Suddenly you go from privileged to underdog. Your struggles feel recognized. It must be a great feeling. That’s why it works.

      Everybody is wrong, just by different degrees. E.g. you believe they are stupid but maybe they just choose their battles differently.

      How clever are the not so stupid people if they cannot use the internet to create a better place for themselves?

        It isn’t stupid to check out. If you can’t handle it then you can’t handle it. Make things light on yourself. I won’t judge for that. When I say stupid I mean sstupid. Dumb as hell. Wrong about obvious things they were taught young. And proud of their ignorance.
