You're a believer, which makes you thoroughly predictable -- and reliable, from the standpoint of those who give you your daily dose of "reality". If anything, you're an anti-intellectual: which is not to suggest that being an intellectual is noble or even laudable, in and of itself -- but neither is stupidity. A foot soldier in a "revolution" that values mediocrity and conformity.
Like a pig wallowing in it's shit, you're happy, and who am I to begrudge you that.
I used to be a book reader, a thinker, a dreamer, an unambitious lazy fat fuck. Then life, technology, the Internet, bullies and my parents made me conform. Who knows where I'd be if I was allowed to take the road less traveled? Alas, it is too late for me, I choose to stay in the Matrix.
I appreciate your honesty, Clang. Thank you.
