I really think you made a mistake by going to a philosophy meetup instead of sports bars during a game. To me this implies you’re in such a deep bubble you actually don’t even know what a normie is at this point so I wouldn’t get ahead of yourself classifying them. You had the correct instinct, but at no point here did you actually engage with a normie. At least do that before having an existential crisis and writing a long essay about them right?
