The low intelligence of my peers. You see it all around you if you're in my shoes. In any community I'm a part of, I can see lower capacity to truly innovate or understand nuance, which in my opinion is one big sign of lower overall intelligence. Do I believe I have the greatest capacity for intelligence? No. But I do notice it's less common to see the nuance of life, which takes a bigger brain, so to speak, to even consider. Sometimes I truly do feel like I'm a human surrounded by monkeys. It's exhausting, and the rare folks I can actually have deep conversations with bring me a lot of joy. I can say, luckily, there is a higher rate of intelligence in this side of the internet than others. The minute I visit my alt in bodybuilding communities, the bro heads over there are super slow. Dumb as rocks and there is zero ability to articulate real innovative ideas.
 
the kids in my highschool used to vape openly in the gym class.. could never make friends with those mfs
 
Yeah it's depressing. I'm a manager so i see that everyday. I didn't argue anymore
At some point you kinda gotta just accept it. I don't think we stress over animals who know no better or even bugs. Not saying people are bugs or lesser value. But when it comes to capacity. We sorta just gotta let it be.

everyone thinks theyre smarter and superior to others and everyone else is a monkey

in reality those other people are probs thinking the exact same thing. everyone has their own sets of ideologies from their experiences. since they create these mental rules and actions from their previous knowledge, they believe they are correct, and all their actions that they align with are justifiable. everyone is unique and different. we arent all shallow monkeys and whoever is tthinking themsleves that they are the smartest really are the smartest. im not the smartest. i dont believe everyone around me is "stupid". they think differently from me. and theres a reason for that.
in reality there is no "correct" way to live life. you simply live it.
