  • Is someone stupid because they don’t know how to change a light bulb? A tire? How to do laundry? How to cook a meal? Review a book? Write an essay? Manage a task?

    It’s just skills people dont have that often make them look stupid to most people who have that skill. Especially when those tasks seem very trivial once you have that skill.

    Being ignorant of something doesnt make someone stupid. But i do think being stupid often prevents you for fixing your ignorance

    Just 2 cents of thought

    Edit: forgot to say every single person on the planet us stupid at something or about something but we may never have the opportunity to find out







  • At any age you are, there is a difference between the age you feel and the age your peers look to you.

    If you dont spend time around a variety of people you are unlikely to readjust your mental image of what the age you feel looks like.

    How many new people do you spend time with on a regular basis.

    How do you spend your time?

    When we are younger we are constantly put into a situation where you are surrounded by people your own age that you see every week multiple times(typically school and other group based hobbies like sports) but also people who are 1 to 5 years your junior and senior who you may not talk with much but they are still a part of what you encounter all the time.

    As you get older this environment shifts. Post highschool students start to see their classmates diversify in age. They are still your peers but age isnt no longer (as much) the defining factor of who you will engage with and work with, but its usually not suddenly all your classmates are now more than a few years older or younger than you.

    This starts to expand but also stunt your change in what your perceptionnof what you see around you and who you see as a reflection of what people your age look like.

    And those who dont continue education are typically just entering a workforce and now have a lot less people like them around them. Age at work places are much more varied, but its also different depending on the field you work in.

    Life starts to get weird in your 20s because its not the same as your experience of the people you see as your own age(among other things).

    But we also typically have stopped growing taller by this point. Which i think adds a lot.

    So when you as a 20 something now start getting to know people who could be or almost be your parents you have been trained to recognize age as a qualifier, and at 14 you probably should see age as a good indicator of people who are likely to be people you can relate to.

    Its easier to see differences than similarities. They jump out at you. Like boiling a frog you dont know that things are changing so you dont react the same way as if you are suddenly hit with it.

    Of course this isnt everyones experience, but it does happen enough that its worth giving some thought to.





  • Because you are making an assumption that they did talk to them. Most people avoid confrontation whenever possible(in my experience).

    People often need to vent when they are overfrustrated by not being able to resolve a problematic scenario, or are not able to remove themselves from being around the situation that is causing them the stress(like when co workers are being toxic af at each other and keep.dragging you into it and you are stuck working next to it all day because your desk is in the same area etc)

    So your okay with using plastics in place of real leather because you enjoy the aesthetic and are willing to use a substance that is known to contaminate and harm the life you hold in such high regard and plants you eat in place of those animals.

    I wonder if there is a vegan leather shoe company. Only leather from animals that lived humanely and died of actual natural end of life causes.
