lmao, certified banger of a post. You have a funny style, I didn’t expect to see Twitter-level humor (I apologize) and LW-level reasoning (I don’t apologize) in a combo together.
Anyway, by Sturgeon’s law: 90% of everything is crap. That, unfortunately, includes the philosophy meetups of the world, at least in terms of truth-seeking.
I think misanthropy is pretty mid. Like it makes you feel good for a while, and it’s good to “dip in” misanthropy every once in a while, just to keep things fun, but it’s ultimately useless. People are actually dumb, and even educated people are actually dumb and useless in many ways. But it’s like… do you want to wallow in it? I don’t, most of the time.
So I just speak the language of the particular Rome that I find myself in, and sorta try to learn something useful. There’s this contractor that worked on my house a lot. Total common man, and not a philosophy-meetup-attending kind. I learned a lot from that guy, even though we could probably never be friends as we are different species, as you say. But I learned so much, that I wouldn’t have, if I had kept to my own kind.

There’s a reason why this garden has walls!
