He explains a lot of what I have wanted to say. ^


I genuinely feel I am surrounded by morons.

I'm generally a happy, laidback guy in person, but most ppl I seem to meet are just so narrow minded and dumb.

 It's either that, or they're extremelty generic and ordinary. I don't mean to generalize, but out of the dozens of ppl I know.. I know only one person that stands out from the 'ordinary background prop' crowd.

This forum acrtually gives me a bit of hope, b/c a lot of you actually are open minded from what I've read. Infact, a lot of you are a lot more interesting than 99% of the ppl I've personally met.
What are your thoughts on this?

Sorta related but I absolutely CANNOT stand people who can't entertain themselves. It's just a sign of pure stupidly. Play video games? Watch a TV series? Read? Listen to Music? Clean up around the house Study? Learn to play music? Drive somewhere new? This list could go one forever but I sort of get what your feeling TC. Can't stand morons...

I don't know, you sound like a stupid, ordinary moron to me. I'm kidding, but I don't think people are any stupider than they've been in the past. If anything, they are smarter. Look how much more accepting of gays (and other non-traditional lifestyles) society is becoming. Racism isn't nearly as bad as it was 50 years ago. People are more educated than they've ever been. Sure, society still has a ways to go, but I think you are overreacting. And be careful feeling the way you do, if you let yourself feel too smart you'll turn into a jerk and will probably go and do something really stupid eventually that'll bring you right back down to earth. Be humble.

I completely agree with this. If everyone ends up a doctor, lawyer, businessman, who picks up garbage? Who hands you french fries? Menial though it may be, the world needs idiots to keep daily life going. I just don't want to have to interract with them very often, which is why I don't go to Walmart :D

I felt like you for a while, but then I thought about. And now I generally feel that I can't really decide who's generic and "run-of-the-mill", people just enjoy living and if that's what's making them happy you really have no power over them. Just because you and I and other people are different doesn't actually mean we are any better, we just enjoy different things. It's pointless making up "us and them" scenarios because other people seem boring or generic to you, it's their life.

I think it's the opposite. Sure they have technology at their fingertips to give them answers....but that's not the same as actually learning how things work or storing knowledge. IMO advances in tech make people less knowledgeable.

Also I forgot to mention, The "Amazing" Atheist is a douchebag on a high-horse. Just because he has about average intelligence he thinks he can be all cynical about people that mess stuff up lol. Also his posse of blind fanatics (ironic as hell) is downright scum sometimes. Ah well, guess some people need to find ways to subdue their inferiority complexes.

By stupid and ordinary, I don't just mean "stupid and ordinary". I mean ppl with no sense of purpose in life with a generic outlook on their life, as well. Stiffs who don't look outside the box and work towards death, with no personality. etc. I'm basing this off ppl I have met, and 'the average white guy in his mid 40's doing business and stock exchanges'.

Yupp and if you walked past one of us on the street you would think we were just plain and normal. We would also probably think your plain and normal. If we had a conversation you would think I am a typical guy that likes pop music, the gym, and girls. I would probably think your the typical hate people type of person. You probably don't stand out as much as you think.

Personally, I find that people who aren't stupid and ordinary morons tend to be too busy to worry about how stupid and ordinary people tend to be. That isn't to say that people aren't stupid and ordinary morons. But productive and interesting people are too busy being productive and interesting to obsess over the stupid masses.

I disagree, mostly. And where I do agree, it's for an entirely different reason. The thing is, EVERYONE is knowledgeable and ignorant. We're ALL knowledgeable about some things and ignorant of others. I don't think it's so much that we've gotten less knowledgeable, but rather that the easy access to so much information makes it more apparent of the areas in which we are lacking in knowledge. A person can easily have more knowledge that his predecessors. It's just now a lot of that knowledge is useless, and it's easier to see where he's lacking knowledge. That said, in a way I think that the easy access to information CAN result in less knowledge. But it's not because people are any stupider or lazier than they used to be. I think it's largely because easy access to information also necessarily means easy access to BULL$HIT. People still try to be knowledgeable, people still try to seek out information. But a lot of that information is simply wrong.

All humans are prone to this Calling others stupid to boost their own ego It's the self-serving bias. When you succeed, you emphasis on your success. When you fail, you downplay your failure. When others succeed you downplay their success, and emphasis on their failures. This helps you build/maintain self-esteem while taking it from others.

I generally love most people except judgemental, whiny bitches.

People appear to be stupid and/or ordinary simply because they don't like to go off bragging about their hobbies and private lives.
