Me at 35: I don't give a shit what they think about me, I'm not paid enough anyway

    God I wish I was stupid. I mean I am in some ways. But I wish I was fundamentally stupid. Being able to enjoy little things as the world burns, that's the dream. Anybody still doing lobotomies?

    Being smart and being able to enjoy little things are to unrelated things. Maybe you are just smart and depressed?

    Probably. But I have a hard time believing that you can be smart without being depressed in this day and age.

    Edit: I mean there are moments. It's not all doom and gloom all the time. But overall? I have a kid. What chances does he have? Should he want a family, what are the odds he doesn't figure it out and feel just as bad as I do? It's going to get worse and worse, and we know this. Every generation will have it worse. I don't want that for him. And I don't want his generational guilt that I have for him.

    So it is time for our generation to revert the course. I am not saying you should go and do this or that, just that at the moment I feel that for things to become better we need whole generations of better people

    Just wait until you get to "They're all just as stupid as I am, and too insecure about it to stop me!"

    Just wait until you're 87 and stupid. Then you can join the US congress and halt all progress

    Me at 35: Who cares if they think I'm stupid. Im still better at my job than a vast majority of the others. (I finish my task as soon as possible and just sit around the majority of the day).

    Tbh I had the opposite, was way too worried about myself being stupid, and not worried enough about how stupid everyone else is
