the thing a lot of people leave out is that… people will act stupidier than they are because it’s how they get social acceptance.

I’m sure most of us have been in situations where people agreed with the stupid people because it was more socially expedient. This is how stupid people and stupid ideas tend to take precedence.

I’ve had many partners break up with me because i refused to pretend to be stupid for the sake of their idiot spiritual guru friend.
